:The whole definition of "world" versus "neighborhood" is shaky at best. If Maxis calls it a neighborhood, then in my mind it's a neighborhood. If they call it a world, it's a world. This is, after all, the reason we changed TS3 neighborhoods to TS3 worlds - because Maxis was calling them worlds instead of neighborhoods. Additionally, let's consider for a second what it would mean if Magnolia Promenade is a world... it would not only be the smallest world ever (by far), it would also be smaller than any neighborhood - standalone or otherwise - in any game in the ''whole series''. It seems like a pretty big stretch to call 4 lots a world. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] • [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] • [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 13:18, April 10, 2015 (UTC)
::I don't think it matters if it's the smallest world in TS4 series, even if it only contains 1 neighborhood. If the game treats it as a world, then it's a world, even if the SimGurus make up "standalone neighborhood." Sure, we did separate TS1, TS2, and TS4 into neighborhoods, and TS3 and TS4 into worlds, but Magnolia Promenade's scope is within TS4 only. We can't use the same statements that separated neighborhoods VS worlds between different series with this one. The case is different.

:::Functionally, Magnolia Promenade acts like a neighborhood, not a world. From what I've read, it was intended to be another neighborhood in Willow Creek (which would make sense, given the design of the neighborhood), not a standalone neighborhood. To make the distinction that Magnolia Promenade is simply a "single-neighborhood world" is to define a neighborhood as always being a subset of a larger world. There's no real reason to make that distinction, as the definition of M.P. as simply a standalone neighborhood is perfectly acceptable, and even accurate given how M.P. functions. And as if this isn't a good enough reason, official canon also defines it as a neighborhood. It is not our job to redefine these terms to our will, and it is the prerogative of the producers to define these terms as they wish. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] • [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] • [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 17:35, April 11, 2015 (UTC)
