I would really like to know why I can't place lots to help expand my town like in all of the previous Sims games, it seems kind of dumb that you created a town and the description says its to expand your creativity but you cant... grow... the... town....... is there an update coming that will allow this?? I've run out of lots for my family tree and I'm really upset!!! No one seems to be talking about this....

There are additional worlds that come with packs. Do you only have the base game?

No, you still can only use the premade lots already in the game, but there will be more of them (New Towns). There are discussions about this and you're not the only one that is sad about there being no "create a world"-tool. Most people think that it won't happen though. Sorry :/

Any updates on this? I think it's very strange, and unecessarily limiting the player.

No.

@daniellecyr I also wish there were more options for developing and build ing/placing lots we choose for our own 'customized' worlds. As @Phantomlover1717 mentioned, certain expansions do come with additional worlds, which will also be a combination of retail/public plus already built (filled and unfilled) residential homes, plus a sprinkling of empty lots. A few things to point out, in case you didn't realize this:
Do you have any additional worlds besides what comes with the base game? If not, they seem to be 40%-50% off currently, and they is super helpful for enjoying and expanding your game! You can find the sales on this page: https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/store ( @daniellecyr - you asked about this...)
I would most recommend the Seasons Expansion (but I don't think it comes with a new world). 'Get Famous' is great and adds the world 'De Sol Valley'. 'Get Together' adds the beautiful, quaint world 'Windenburg' - one of my favorite worlds to build in. I think 'Magnolia Promenade' came with 'Get to Work'. I love that pack, but that new world is pretty plain with only 3-4 lots. 'San Myshuno' comes with City Living, and 'Forgotten Hollow' comes with vampires. 'Brindleton Bay' has good 'personality' to the landscaping also and comes with 'Cats and Dogs'.
Hope something in all this is helpful for you. Sorry for your frustration.

I was also wondering this. I have several of the worlds, but some only have 3-4 lots in them and what looks like places I could put lots. I would really love to place more lots into some of these worlds.

I would love the option to place Empty Lots, especially the larger 64by64 lots, since there are so few in the game already and sometimes I will find a great house/lots but it will be massive and it will only fit in that lot and then it wipes out the park.

This game is * and needs way more lots to build on
