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 released for The Sims 4 so far, shipping with the base game: Willow Creek and Oasis Springs. Willow Creek is a lush -inspired world, consisting of five neighborhoods plus a central "park" neighborhood. Oasis Springs is desert-themed and largely based on suburban ; the number of neighborhoods or lots in Oasis Springs is not known at this time.

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.
