Worlds you never use?

I am... very particular about my worlds.
Seeing how it's, even if you like the pack, unlikely that most of you will play more than one specific family in Sulani (while I don't think I'll ever play another world seriously again, I am just... addicted to Sulani), it made me wonder... what worlds do you never use?
For me it started early. I have never had a family past the single Sim starter home in Willow Creek. Oasis Springs was just better, at everything. I LOVE Mid century architecture, and well... with seasons... I really really really HATE COLD.
Anyway:
Worlds I never play in...
Willow Creek (supposedly New Orleans-vibes but way too few of them. I wouldn't have realized unless it was stated).
Newcrest, or "that place you place only community lots" (which I guess is the purpose, since it's a completely empty world)
Magnolia Promenade... Let's just say I had to be reminded in this very thread that the world even exists.
Forgotten hollow, too small, too uninteresting, and REALLY don't care for Goth style anyway. Architecture that is, I have nothing against Goths, be it 300AD Germans or pale youth with black clothing (I love vampires tho. They always end up living somewhere else)
Brindleton Bay... One word: Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Plus, I find the addition of "Yet Another Stereotypical American World(tm)" boring. Imagine a Polish, French or Japanese town instead?
Strangerville. Funny, because it's warm, but I still don't like it. Plus, I find the addition of "Yet Another Stereotypical American World(tm)" boring. Imagine a Polish, French or Japanese town instead? (Wait did I say that one already?)
That leaves Oasis Springs, which I used to use all the time until City Living, San Myshuno, which I still absolutely LOVE, but only use for about half my games,
Del Sol Valley that is only really interesting if you're super rich, so I might come back to it, Windenburg, that used to be about 25% of my games, and now Sulani.
And as I said, Sulani replaces both Oasis Springs and Windenburg for me, really. I don't see me really play any other worlds in the future except Sulani or San Myshuno.

Is it because you can build the whole place from the ground up? (oh and I LOVE your username!)

I agree that Willow Creek is one of the most boring of the worlds -- I rarely play there anymore except when I am checking in (briefly) with a particular family living there. It is good for certain kinds of collecting though.
I must say that the newer worlds are noticeable higher quality, starting with Windenburg (and the exception of Forgotten Hollow, but they just didn't have much to work with there I guess. What's there is beautiful, but it's so cramped and barren at the same time).
As for Sulani, I LOVE the fact that outside "foreigners" only come if you have put in a custom public lot, like a restaurant or a gym or a spa. Then they show up. Which I wish you could turn off; I love not having the usual rabble come running into my Island paradise.
As for the toddler bug... please educate me? Because I have not yet noticed it, though my main family does not have any (yet).
Well yes, me too. That's why I also play San Myshuno.
Seriously tho, I do that too but not on any of the worlds listed above.
To be honest, San Myshuno is the world that gets the least use from me, with the possible exception of Magnolia Promenade, but I do make the effort to have sims living in apartments now and then. I'd use them more if only it were possible to turn off the noisy neighbours and let my sims get some sleep.
I also like that NPC don't overrun Sulani, but the fact that I can't invite friends from other cities to my home lot is an unacceptable limitation. Toddlers are reported to stick to everything in their hands so that they have to be reset permanently. And with mermaids as parents genetics don't work. I hope all 3 bugs get fixed soon so that I can really start with IL.
Great, I forgot Magnolia Promenade. I keep forgetting it exists since I have never owned a business or visited a retail lot since i bought the game. (adding to list now). As for noisy neighbors... Save up a good bed, then you get enough sleep after they are done. They usually stop being noisy at what? 1 am? That's usually enough if you have an Energy 8 bed.
Yes, it was caused by the pre-IL patch (like stealing in restaurants). After recent EPs they tried to fix such game breaking bugs with emergency patches. I wonder what happened this time.
Hopefully there is a bigger patch coming. Which unfortunately takes longer. There are things other players have I have not noticed. Like walking on water, or getting stuck on floats, or... Thought I am still not convinced that the Walking On Water bug isn't caused by custom content, just like some suntanning bugs.
Well I saw a comment somewhere else (The "What happened in your game today") I think about someone who as an experiment use ONLY tablets to educate his toddlers and they are NOT bugged. So...?
Hmm. I have been educating my toddlers entirely with flash cards or blocks (on the principle that it is low tech enough for a poor family), not the tablet. For fun they all play in the sand. Now I will live in fear that they will become bugged.
Not to derail too far from the original topic but Reset works, if they do, apparently.
Same. I fill all houses. In all worlds. But I never play them.
I' think I play in all the worlds. I have a secluded Vampire society in forgotten hollow, an Infected mother plant cult in Strangerville (Complete with cult lair).
I do love San Myshuno too, but dealing with neighbourse throw me off the place. I'll be trying it again soon'ish, since I got a mod for "thick walls", so noise shouldn't be a problem anymore. Also just don't like the restrictions on apartments.
