Suburban Springs by alexspoom13 (2012)
Welcome to Suburban Springs
Nestled in suburbia, this town was once the heart of a thriving rural community. Seeking the perfect life, families found themselves drawn to Suburban Springs in great numbers. Now however, they have all left town in protest of new industries and commercial outputs that have tried to settle there. It seems the loss was theirs. With a bustling town centre, comfortable houses of all shapes and sizes and tons of venues to enjoy- not to mention dozens of blank lots to encourage your own creativity, the horizon is open and the possibilities are endless. Where better to start your new life?

My experience: I've played this world twice and you can really tell the creator poured their heart into every detail. However, there's a critical flaw: after 2 or 3 sims weeks, the game becomes so laggy and even freezes completely at times. Despite optimizing my game and fixing issues mentioned by above players, the problem persists. I suspect there may be hidden routing or lot-design issues that nobody's noticed yet. Regardless, the world is stunning and absolutely worth exploring if you're up for some patience :)
