The Sims 4 has a global problem

Of the world The Sims 4 Definitely great. The worlds available to your Sims are amazing, including tropical paradises, desert landscapes, and American suburbia, and have always been a strong point of the series. However, there are some worrying trends in recent games. The Sims 4 The world is beautiful there, but essentially functions like a seashell. In the latest expansion pack, The Sims 4: Rentalthe world was smaller than usual, with no towns or things to do, which also raised red flags from players.

The Sims 4 It started with two worlds, Willow Creek and Oasis Springs, and Newcrest was quickly added. Although Newcrest is an empty world, it serves a purpose as a world designed for players to build on, and comes with 15 parcels, all of which are empty and can be built upon. In a world shipped at the same time, The Sims 4: Get to workMagnolia Promenade, Sorry, Next Expansion, The Sims 4: Assemblethere was a huge world with 24 divisions and 4 districts.

This did not affect all worlds, but only the bundled world, Evergreen Harbor. It also didn’t offer as much depth of change as players were hoping for, with the changes leaning more toward cosmetic rather than gameplay-impacting.

Smaller world, less gameplay

This world’s lack of depth became the new norm, and all subsequent worlds followed suit, each shallower than the last. Additionally, the world began to shrink rather than grow, with fewer neighborhoods and playable plots.

A world with nothing to do

Tomarang, the world included in the expansion pack, has only nine playable lots and two neighborhoods. This is the same world as Tartosa that comes with the game pack.

I am dissatisfied that I have given up on this.
