    Yep, as soon as I saw that I thought 'OMG is that ugly!'

    It's even worse than the map views for the other towns, and I didn't think that was possible until now :D

    The world looks nice from what I've seen, some blurred pics, some very shiny pics I'm not that impressed but it's nice to look at. It's a shame about the map looking so awful I remember an old render of a Sims 4 map that was a lot more pleasing on the eyes this map it's just pure lazy like all the other maps I've seen but this one is the laziness looking of all.

    That map looks miserable.

    It looks so ....... unfinished, amateurish, facebooky..... ๐Ÿธ๐Ÿธ๐Ÿธ๐Ÿธ...... urghhh

    Willow Creek's and Oasis Spring's world map is nice, then come Magnolia Promenade which is dismal, and then Newcrest which is just... my grandmother can draw better map than that! Talk about quality going down the drain.

    :( I thought it fit into the Sims 4 world nicely.

    It's not what I want but it fits into the whole One World of TS4. :)

    Newcrest allows you to build houses, community lots, and retail lots on the empty lots provided.

    If you don't want to build, there are possibly millions of the lots on the Gallery to download. :)

    I thought it was nice, at least the pics I've seen of it look nice. I've yet to get in game and even download the update.

    It's not! compare with Willow Creek and Oasis Spring's map. they look far better and complex. It's a game made by big gaming industry EA for crying out loud

    I like it, a family member finds it to be lame though.

    Oh, I understand expecting more for a Huge game like The Sims... but EA is into less is more- from the looks of the game and in my opinion. :(

    It's sad but it fits into the whole game. :)

    I like it. Though I haven't done anything with it yet.

    Why complain about a free map?

    They all look the same 'quality' to me :/ Magnolia Promenade & Newcrest look a bit sparse but if I had all of the lots built in Newcrest it would look just as full as Oasis Springs & Willow Creek.

    I guess I don't see the difference...

    I like the new world and the game's UI. People have diferent opinions deal with it.

    I see the difference. The first two look more detailed. They have little side roads, mini (realistic looking) houses, water towers, boats, and just little details. Newcrest looks like a 5 year old drew it with the giant block buildings and block houses. It looks like they got lazy. I'm not complaining, I'm seriously happy we got more space and you don't play in map view but I do agree with the OP on the look of it.

    Thanks for posting the map comparison MandysAMess. that lake though, the lack of scribble for water in Newcrest, the sparseness, the lack of complexity, it's like the designer is super lazy. I'm a graphic designer myself so I can see that these map's quality sucks at least to me. I appreciate the theme, in the beginning... but when Magnolia Promenade came, and then this. ๐Ÿธ๐Ÿธ๐Ÿธ๐Ÿธ it's 2015 for crying out loud.

    I like the new world too but ๐Ÿธ๐Ÿธ๐Ÿธ๐Ÿธ that map looks so ugly. You can see they draw nicely the Willow Creek pavilion by the lighthouse, in Newcrest, they just copy paste block of houses. It doesn't look consistent, it looks worser

    Honestly, for me, the team has bigger fish to fry then worrying about the map view. I prefer they spend their time implementing more meaningful gameplay.

    With all the houses in, it still just looks super empty. So I'm thinking with expansion packs they might expand on it.... but probably not

    They all look ugly to me. I guess I'm just used to the colorful maps of TS2 and TS3.

    I like the design :) And the degrade of the blue/green is really apealing to my eyes :)

    Hmm. Good point. They're all ugly!
