I will have to make a list in order of what I like best/least, since everyone else has done it. I think it'll be easier to explain:
1.Hidden Springs: I like Sims that look different and unconventional, so naturally, HS is number one, which is what I voted for. The scenery and landscape, is amazing, and it goes great with my favorite EP, Pets, and SP, KPST. It has a lot of bloat yes, but I've had a ton of fun with the new townies.
2.Appaloosa Planes: I'm a pet lover, so naturally this will appeal to me. I love the Midwestern feel to the town, and my favorite Sims are there too: Gracie Loveland and Hetty Lionheart. More unexpected pregnancies than SV, and more interesting genetics.
3.Barnacle Bay: The pirate theme! Again, I love frivolous, silly themes, which is what attracted me to Sims in the first place! The pirate theme reminds me of my favorites, Spongebob and Pirates of the Caribbean. The Caliente Sisters are there too! I love the return of TS2 Classics! And I still play with them on TS2 today!
4.Riverview: My Sunset Valley! I know the town all too well, and will use it for games and challenges, if I ever get back to starting an unofficial immortal dynasty. (I need my mods!) The Sims have fun personalities, and interesting genetics, as well as my classic Sims (the Broke Family-my favorite from TS2! Don Lothario, and the Newbies!). My favorite family the Grisby family is there too! I'm getting back to it as soon as Supernatural comes out!
5.Starlight Shores: I love the LA feel to it, and I still need to play it more, but I'm sure once I do, I'll like it even more than I do now! It reminds me of Hollywood which I love!
6.Bridgeport: I love the Vampires and what not, unlike most people, as well as the townies, but playing it was such a pain in the rear, until I got a new graphics card. There's not much room to play in BP, which is a huge disappointment, but other than that, it's a great town to play with.
7.Twinbrook: Very fun interesting Sims, and I like that they look different. I love the swamps, which adds a bit more to the gene pool I barely play it, and I would love to play it more so. Some may say "ugly," I say interesting genetics. Why should my Sims have to look pretty or perfect? I like that my Sims can be as pretty or ugly as they want, and no one will ever make fun of them for it.
8.Sunset Valley: I guess I just know the town all too well, and hear too much about it. I think it's the most bland town, with the same old story progression stuff. SV was great at first, but I got bored easily.
