I'm looking for a generic small/medium world - with all RH's and services. Easy lot placement for both residential and commercial lots. I only have up to Generations and most worlds are large have Pets and SHT. You up for that?

Even though Castle keep is already available and The other side of the river is nearly finished, I still wouldn't mind seeing another medieval/renaissance world.

Actually what I'd love to have is
(1) a Chinese or Far Eastern world
(2) a nice, more European looking forest world
(3) and something Oriental themed that is not necessarily a desert world.

You should make a tropical Island.. but not the typical wood huts.. a fancy Island, with lush instead of a desert like Lucky Palms. A map of a Caribbean Island. Perhaps Cuba? I'd be the first one to download.. Also little of Spanish colonial style.

How about the version from Pink Floyd?

I want to see an Eldritch location, loaded with Bizarre Architecture and alien geometries, suitable for both sci-fi and fantasy settings. Not sure if that's possible to create though.

I like this idea, but I go for anything unique. And cities. I quite like the more urban worlds people make. You could also make a town from a game or show or movie that takes place mainly in the one location. Like Springfield from The Simpsons.

A resort town with wide, flat beaches. I have a feeling that we'll be using them soon.

Some more architectural styles/regions that haven't previously been used as the basis for official towns which might give you some ideas:
- The old colonial architecture found in New England towns hasn't officially appeared in anything yet, despite being pretty distinctive-looking. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonial_architecture ) Since Supernatural is out in a couple of months, one could theoretically make a map inspired by Salem, Massachusetts as an alternative to Moonlight Falls.
- Other than Twinbrook, there haven't been any noticeably Southern US-themed towns yet. Judging by the fact that many players on both this site and TSR have tried making houses based on this style, ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antebellum_architecture ) there'd probably be quite a few people who'd be interested in a map largely composed of neoclassical Southern buildings and rural areas. Such a map could also be made very compatible with Pets if arranged correctly.
- For a more unusual setting, you could design a map based on one of those bizarre master-planned communities that look like something out of The Stepford Wives. The most infamous real-life example of one of these is Celebration, Florida, ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celebration,_Florida ) which is so creepily sanitized and inspired by an imagined ideal past that it began as a Disney project. Imagine the bizarre personalities Sims living there would end up developing- it'd certainly make for some unorthodox stories.

The Disk World will be fine!!!
Something European-looking would be nice. You could find some pictures of German or Polish cities and take inspiration :)

This would lend itself well for a Truman Show-esque world, considering that the entire Sims series is fairly similar in its voyeuristic qualities.

I grew up in New England. We called them farmhouses.

Well, I hope the house boat idea catches on, because I'd like a world with more house boats; a canal through the center of the downtown area with footbridge crossings; wide beach area with at least one lot specifically build for a boardwalk type venue and an area of three of four streets that would allow for back to back 20 x 20 lots. The suburban area of the map would be on a plateau overlooking the city.
Edited to add: A Mediterranean climate would be lovely.

Maybe not the whole Disk World, but Ankh-Morpork would be neat. It be perfect for the upcoming supernatural update having populations of vampires, werrewolves, golems(simbots) zombies, wizards(and sometimes witches).........
There is even maps for it (http://discworldtraveler.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/ankh-morporkmap.jpg) though that would be a bit full......

Maybe a more urbanized world? My city is surrounded by lots of suburbs and even a few rural areas... but I live minutes away from the innercity, and while there's the world based on Los Angeles and a few others like it... I'd really like an urban world that won't make my computer burst into flames. I live in the Midwest, so my city would be different than a city on the coast.
I've also had the idea to build the 'cul-de-sac world' from Ed Edd n Eddy for years, but since I have zero idea how to work CAW, I haven't gotten around to doing it. :/
Of course, there would have to be alternate, non-Pets versions of these worlds, cause, well.... I kinda don't have Pets xD

I'd love to see some Cyberpunk world's like Deus Ex.

I want to do Ankh-Morpork :lovestruc I've got The Streets of Ankh Morpork (http://www.waterstones.com/waterstonesweb/products/terry+pratchett/stephen+briggs/the+streets+of+ankh+morpork/4142980/) and I'm waiting for The Compleat Ankh-Morpork (http://www.waterstones.com/waterstonesweb/products/terry+pratchett/the+compleat+ankh-morpork/8917260/). What kind of Pratchett fan wouldn't want Ankh-Morpork!

We wound up starting discussing it in the SuperNatural EP thread too. Maybe we should see about making this and thier characters after all. :lol:

I agree. The only "forest" world I have is Hidden Springs, and that doesn't really count. At the same time, however, I don't have WA, so visiting China is out of the question.

An urban world with high crime, lots of tagging and rubbish everywhere, not a lot of money . . .
That or a world where there are farms battling against the rich developers of ugly, identical gated communities.
