Are you unhappy or don't mind about no new town in Generations?

I didn't care so much for Twinbrook. I may have used that neighborhood like once or twice.
As for Brideport, I don't mind it except for the fact it's always so gloomy and there's not many places to build on.
I haven't downloaded Riverview.
It's going to be interesting trying to find space for these new lots.
When Late Night came out I tried placing the Backlot in Sunset Valley,
but because I'm a bit of a perfectionist at times it didn't go so well...
I want to know more about the non rabbit hole sites.
Yes that's what I was saying and I'm going to want to place the laundrymat there as well the one from Twinbrooks.
I really hoped for a "Desperate Housewives" kinda town, like a suburb where all the family houses are close to each other.
New world = less content.
As I've said before, I'd rather have new toys to play with, rather than just a new playground, with very little toys..
Generations doesn't require a new world. It exists to expand upon the families and worlds we already have.
One of the first things I always do is explore the new town, and I hate to sound like an idiot, but did The Sims 2 Pets come with a new neighborhood? I always delete everything except Strangetown and Pleasantview, so I don't remember.
Same here. I really don't mind !
I agree! Hopefully some 64x64 lots are added somehow.
I believe I did manage to add the Backlot on a 64x64 lot in Sunset Valley,
but it didn't really look right. I had to keep moving it around.
Maybe I'll try again later.
Maybe there will be new townies and houses in the library?!
If not, I will probably make my own familes and possibly reconstruct houses.
A lot will depend on your PC, and what kind of lots they are. The LN lots are laggy because of the building markers and shells, in my PC anyway, but I have no problem with any other lots. I have a 300 lot town, it runs a little slow on my PC, but it's playable. (I do have SP & aging off, that seems to help)
I don't think additional lots on SV will cause any problems.

Before Late Night was released we got Barnacle Bay, it included the Caliente sisters. There was no returning families in Late Night, IMO it's because we got Dina and Nina in BB.
This might repeat again. No new town on Generations but a new store town/world is on the way. One that might or might not include magic. There was also another poll that had several multiple choice questions, about objects and themes we would like to see in The Sims 3.
No new town in Generations might mean there's a new store town on the horizon. If this new town does have added gameplay like magic, it will most likely be more expensive than Barnacle Bay.
And that forest would be nice, I don't care about the price. I'll always pay it lol.
If this is coming out before Generations they need to start hyping it like they did with Barnacle Bay a month before it came out.
We got a new world with Late Night, and it was one buggy mess...even for people like me who play their game CC free (other than store content) and had not had any issues prior.
So, if no new world means a better overall game, then that's perfectly fine by me.
So here are some tips I ammassed.
1. The Diner:
Does a tiny rabbit hole like that need such a large lot? I placed the Twinbrook Diner on my Grand Central Station (named "Grand Central", subways add "station", and rabbit holes remove the lot designation tag). I replaced it with the Arbor Plaza Trade Centre (Consignment) where you can buy not only arts and crafts, but also nectar, food and relics (WA)
2. Multi Purpose Rabbit Holes:
Name says it all, plus, if you are urbanising SV, the city hall looks quite stately.
3. Big Rabbit Hole, Little Lot; moveobjects is your friend:
You only need the entrance(s) and a tiny bit behind needs to be on a level lot, I placed the large Bridgeport Stadium (which I named the Belladome) on the relatively small Warehouse lot, and don't be afraid to add multiple rabbit holes on one lot! This also works for shells.
4. Tricky, but worth it:
You know those little roads from the beach to the town? Well put a lot on it! With the use of Alt, 25x25 lots (perfect for houses or the small glass skyscrapers) and a bit a trial and error; the empty hills can be turned into San Fransisco style sloped hill architecture.
5. Do you really need it?:
Do you really need all 9 types of bar, when one of each type will suffice (some simmers have noted that less bars=more crowded bars)
6. Look again:
Throughout Sunset Valley there are a mass of spare empty parks that are never frequented (including two beaches), houses that are never lived in, empty lots mixed in the residential area, and two empty clifftops.
7. If you cannot be derriered to, someone else will no doubt have done it.
And remember, eye is in the detail!
