It has always been free for the previous franchises. Why give them more ideas to milk us dry?... it doesn’t make any sense. The Sims 4 in itself is already lackluster in terms of depth, gameplay and content. I don’t want to pay for more if I received it for free in the past.
No, why would I pay for an feature that was free in the other features, Oh wait I had already paid for an feature and is not an feature that now comes with some GP and EP packs, extra Neighborhoods which was also free to do in the previous versions and now I now must pay for the Neighborhoods.

No. TS4 worlds are great : Windenburg, Brindelton Bay, Strangerville, Sulani, San Myshuno.. All of them are beautiful, diverse, and different. IMO, the only bad world is Magnolia Promenade, because it's too small, and too similar to the top district from Newcrest. What bother me the most about TS4 worlds are the lots, not the world itself. I would rather have something that let me builds appartements or workplace (I know there is a mod for that, but it would be cool to not rely on mods...) rather than creating worlds!
Would love a CAW of some sort, would not pay for it. If I had to pay for it I would expect a robust creator capable of doing everything Maxis can do, and it would need to have ongoing support for every future add on. That means making apartments, the swimming water, festivals, every single world feature this game has and any it’s gonna get. That’s a tall order for such a short man, and I don’t think we will get a CAW tool for this game.
I've never been a world builder. But I miss being able to alter the existing ones a bit. I would happily re-arrange the lots and place new ones at the very least. But, I'd be angry if they expected me to pay for it and wouldn't buy it since, as others pointed out, it was free before.
To be honest, so far I'm mostly happy with the existing worlds. I haven't even come close to filling up all the lots, either. I think it would take me a good few hundred hours to get to that point, assuming I continue on just one file.
I would probably get it because people are bound to make some really amazing worlds with it that I probably would want to play (I'm assuming you'd need this pack to install new worlds into the game).
Putting aside all talk of what should have happened, the answer is yes, I’d pay for it. I’d rather pay for content I actually want than stick to nonexistent principles and keep throwing money at content I’m meh about.
If you mean design roads and layouts and such, I would only pay for it if it if it was kept up to date in a timely fashion and was intuitive to use.
If it's not going to be updated and not intuitive to use, then I wouldn't pay for it. Like I wouldn't pay for Sims 3's CAW because it is not intuitive to use.
I did pay for Sims 2's "CAW" because it was kept up to date for what functionality it had: just the roads.
If you mean generate a blank neighborhood like all neighborhoods being blank like Newcrest, then I wouldn't pay for that. I can do that on my own.
Not to use myself (never did use Sims 3), but as a way to get access to other people’s creations. Free is preferable, but it would be something I would consider valuable enough to me to spend a small amount on.
This is how I look at it. There are stuff packs that I have not bought because they don't interest me. There are game/expansion packs I HAVE bought to add more depth to the game even though I don't use the main features in those packs. Something Like a CAW I would pay money for. Not only would I make my own worlds to fit my sim stories, but the creative community here would come up with some really amazing places. If my promise to buy it makes it happen, I'm there. I don't expect anything for free.
Absolutely not. I'd put that on a My First Pet Stuff level of a blunder if they did that. I'd want it. Really, really, reallyyy badly. But it's the principle of the thing--I shouldn't have to buy what's already been established as possible in a base game, especially when it was standard in 2 of the previous 3 iterations. To me, that would be like taking out CAS or build/buy then asking people to pay for it. I view it as integral to the base game and the game as a whole. Other people don't care for CAW/neighborhood editing as much as I do and probably don't feel the same--that's fine too.

And no, I wouldn't, because world editing should've been a feature to begin with
Race Against the Clock: Can your elder sim turn back the clock before their time runs out?
But I also probably would not buy it. I never got much milage out of CAW in the past.

SimCity 4 is still an amazing game. I have no complaints that my world builder includes a city simulation game. :P
