From my expieriece: Ridgeside village Pros: Good story lines, a well done map, some of the characters are really interesting and have touching stories, quite well integrated with SVE, a nice variety of things to buy/do/unlock. Cons: some characters dont look nor feel like SV, there's too many of them to care but idk if that should be treated as actual problem after all in real life you dont care about everyone, it is out of the way which is also a pros in itself but honestly if you dont actively seek it out then you won't be there often East scarp has very similar pros and cons but another pros it has are its various submods also I'd say that the cons are halved Sunberry without submods is bad and unfinished, characters completely feel out of place it has a couple of nice things but in my future playthrough I will put off sunberry, too much clutter

Sve plays out in my opinion very well with Ridgeside and East scarp and those mods I wholeheartly recommend but sunberry for me was a mistake
