With today’s release of information regarding the new world in The Sims 4 Get Famous, SimGuruKate took to Twitter to explain why Del Sol Valley is smaller than other worlds.
I've seen a good number of folks asking/commenting about the smaller size of Del Sol Valley. The simple answer to this is that as we create more and more packs we have to be very thoughtful about game performance and this includes the number of lots/Sims.

Not necessarily. But it definitely becomes a balancing act. And our amazing engineers are constantly at work on optimizing and improving performance.

It doesn't mean all new worlds will be smaller. But it does mean not every new world will be "large". Some will be on the smaller side, while others will be on the larger side.

Worlds aren’t the only part of a pack. There’s gameplay and items that contribute to the overall size of a pack.

The reason it hasn't impacted the game's performance is because of the care and attention that is paid to ensuring optimization with each new pack that is released.
