I'm planning to start a new region and teraform the heck out of it. I know rivers are pretty, so are hills/plateaus. My question is: do the sims living there care enough? Whenever you have a hill or river or similar land feature, you inevitably lose building space. But water allows for beaches, waterfront property, shipping, and so on, while heights provide nice views. If the point of my current city is to build one with the highest sim happiness, lowest pollution, and highest income (eschewing aesthetics for improved functionality), is my best bet to simply have a completely flat terrain without a drop of water anywhere on the map and not so much as the smallest rise to be found? This would mean improving land value through things like parks instead of the view.
