Are those residential lots or just lots in general?

Which this worked in real life! I have a 10 hour drive coming up on Friday and it would be super nice to get there the same time I left lol

I agree with your point. It just doesn’t really feel like going somewhere far away, traveling from desert to beaches to Europe. You can hit them all up in the same day, which bleeds out some of the realism.

I’m already trying to figure out how to make the new beach world feel more like a vacation. Generic lots can be used to feel like a private guest cottage, but there is no financial expense to going, so, again, doesn’t feel real.

YEP. If they let us build apartment buildings in other worlds I would be cramming them full of Sims, lol.

but make it more interesting than newcrest. i never play or build there because the neighbourhood decor is so lacking and uninspired.

Yes, it loads some of the objects on the other lots, but it doesn’t actively simulate those lots (ie. no Sim activity on them), so the performance impact shouldn’t be that big for unloaded/inactive lots and neighborhoods.

Or the game is just so poorly designed that performance suffers more than it should.

Not necessarily, my computer is much laggier in Windenburg than any other world, they game does simulate one single lot and public area, but it renders they rest of the neighborhood, and the objects inside other lots.

Yes this would be an AMAZING thing to have, I really hope it comes in the future, after university that is.

True, very true. From what I can see, recently, is that the developers have been trying to incorporate worlds any way they can due to this problem, whether that be vacation or not. Yes, I do believe the CAW would be an AMAZING tool, but from my understanding, and from what I have seen, many people would be upset and saying “I wanted this!” I could be wrong with this statement but it is from what I have seen.

This is why i liked the closed Worlds in Sims3.
It always felt like a big world. It was not necessary to travel between Worlds to go to the gym, because these worlds were big enough. Every World was unique on its own, with new townies.
No same old same old Bob Pancakes Walking around in every save game
And with mods you could travel to any world that you wanted, for three days (or even longer with visa) and vacation there.
Its immersion breaking, when you see Eliza Pancakes in city Living and then in Selvadorada just chillin.
In the Sims 3 you would only see the Sims that live in the town. No justin Keaton in Brightport.
