Sandbox maps?

[Satira]

I wanted to start my own sandbox museum and make a giant all-themed museum, but when trying I noticed I can only pick one of the 5 main museum maps and only focus on 1 theme? Am I doing something wrong?

Each museum is one theme.

If you wanted to play all of them, play the campaign. It's already a sandbox, you just unlock them as you go. But you'll eventually have all of the museums in one big sandbox world and manage them all at once, switching between each as needed to attend to them.

Then what is the sandbox for? If it is all one theme (so the same as the campaign), then how is it different from the campaign aside from a difficulty setting? Doesn't feel very sandboxy to me.

The sandboxes have never really had a point in any of these games, they were all sandboxes in the campaign anyway.

Sandbox mode was for people who didn't want the interconnected world and just wanted to play individual locations without the story connections.

Basically if you want to skip the actual story and game you play sandbox and just play dress up with individual locations instead of having the entire world to sandbox (while unlocking them through story challenges)
