World

In The Sims 4, a world is a collection of individual neighborhoods (also known as districts) within a single playable map.

Two worlds have been confirmed for The Sims 4 so far. The first is Willow Creek ; Willow Creek consists of five neighborhoods. The second world is desert-themed, but its name and the number of neighborhoods or lots it has is not known yet.

Travel between neighborhoods is possible, as long as both neighborhoods are within the same world. Travel within a neighborhood is still "open" as in The Sims 3, but Sims outside the loaded neighborhood cannot be directly controlled. Players can switch between neighborhoods at will, though this brings up a loading screen. Sims can freely travel between different worlds.
