New survey about whether we like to start new games in CAS or not!

I was so happy to see this survey pop up in my game main menu!
It asks whether we are happy with the current flow of starting a new game, or whether we would like to see changes. I was very glad to say that I would prefer to start a new game in Manage Worlds, because I often like to play with premade characters! Please take the opportunity to share your feedback if you get the survey option in your main menu

Is this really about the possibility of this being changed in TS4, or is it more likely they’re trying to find out our preferences for Project Renee or another future Sims game? If it’s for TS4, that feels to me like quite a big change to be making at this late stage in the game’s life. But that would be great if so!

(I stay in my old save I love)
so in a way minor issue
but yeah I would much prefer to start from manage worlds screen it would be much easier than to create sim put sim into lot and then go to manage worlds
and I never really know what kind of sim to create before I know which world/lot I want to play in so it feels odd to start in cas
also possibly i just want to grab build for different save or play premade family in which case i don't have reason to load to cas other than game forcing it
but also I worry if this can cause save breaking bugs if altered so if that is possibility I must vote against changing it cause its not so bothersome that I would sacrifice my old saves
just small annoyance I run into approximately 3 times a year
I haven't seen survey in my game but I also haven't really seen game this week either due to being busy with other activities
will check tomorrow maybe

I don't think I'd mind though, if it took us straight into map view as long as the option to jump into CAS from there is available, and I don't see why it wouldn't be. I get why people want it changed if they want to play premades (I very rarely play them unless under special circumstances). I played a lot of Sims 2 so it does seem natural to start in the map.
But I also strongly agree with @Simmingal that if it risks breaking people's games, I'd rather they didn't bother.
You're not the only one. I don't mind it either. All my sims are either born in game or downloaded from the Gallery.
Last week was the first time in years that I'd entered CAS to create a new save. I wanted to grab some of the original townies and lots. Since I'd deleted most of them.
I did comment in the survey that I'd prefer to start on Manage Worlds but it really doesn't matter to me.
I don't mind either. I'm more bothered by the fact that Resume button no longer loads the last played household anymore.
It takes me to the last played household. What happens in your game?
It takes me to Brindleton Bay neighbourhood screen.
This is what I want, really. The Sims should always be all about player choice. I'd like to be asked how I want to start that new game.

This ^ Period!
@crocobaura What was the last thing you did before exiting? I find that if I end a game in world mode, especially after editing sims (or just deleting all the new townies) I will be returned to Willow Creek the next time I start (the first sim I played in the save live there), but if I end the game in live mode resume will take me back to the family I last left.
When I load a game my game often opens Sulani even though I last played in Moonwood Mill
I never use resume button though because I just like to take look around manage worlds first and it doesn't really bother me to look at pretty Sulani when I open my game

I never delete townies and rarely edit my sims, except to just give them some new clothes when playing them. I do tend to build a lot, maybe it could be because of saving on a community lot? But sometimes it says resume with a sim I haven't played at all in the last session, and even in the couple of sessions before that, so this is why it makes no sense to me at all. I just use the load game option nowadays, as I can choose from there which lot to load first.
I don't mind using the load button and looking through manage worlds, it's just that resume button was handy for just that function of resuming where you last played.
Perhaps there could be an option in menu that loads into worlds instead of CAS for new games, but I will suggest this option should be not be the default setting, as it might be hard to navigate for new players with no prior experience.
