Please Note: Is speculation based, hence in this section.
I think we can expect to see a new Vacation destination to go alongside Outdoor Retreat very soon! Why?
In early 2015, we got Outdoor Retreat which introduced a new world which contained 3 Neighborhoods, and were heavily detailed. And size wise, was bigger than Newcrest in terms of exploration area.
To follow that up, The Sims team put out Get To Work which came with 4 Neighborhoods, one being a secret location for Sixam
We’ve been told that there is a “world team” for The Sims 4 who make the worlds for all the different packs. One could assume that because a lot of resources of that team went to Outdoor Retreat, that would explain why Get To Work only came with 3 Neighborhoods and a special lot.
In comparison, City Living came with the usual 4 Neighborhoods + Park, that we saw in the base game, and Windenburg also came with 4 Neighborhoods and 3 Special Lots.
With Brindleton Bay, we got 3 Neighborhoods instead of 4, and 1 special lot.
My theory is the reason why Brindleton Bay is slightly smaller than the rest is because the world team is also producing a new Game Pack Vacation world, with 2 - 3 locations.
Otherwise, considering the World Team is capable of worlds like Windenburg and San Myshuno, it would seem odd that Brindleton Bay is smaller than both for no reason.
I honestly believe the world team is probably quite small considering SimGuruDaniel advises the team wouldn’t be capable of creating “world packs” like The Sims 3, probably due to the fact they are already at peak work rate with the packs we have already.
What do you think? We may also just be getting a GP with new areas as well, but we are long overdue for a new vacation destination!
Thoughts?
