Neighborhood: Difference between revisions

===Within a neighborhood===▼

In ''The Sims'' and ''The Sims 2'' Sims travel from one lot to another, with nothing in between. The player will see them leave the lot they are on and disappear, after which a loading screen will appear. The player will not see them again until they reappear on the destination lot.<ref group="notes">Prior to ''[[The Sims 2: Nightlife]]'', the player would then have to select their destination from a neighborhood view; ''Nightlife'' introduced the ability to select a destination in advance.</ref> This is the same in ''The Sims 4'', but Sims can also travel to public areas in the loaded neighborhood. Visiting another lot in the same neighborhood, or going anywhere outside the neighborhood, brings a loading screen.▼

In ''The Sims 4'', Sims can easily travel and [[Moving|move]] between neighborhoods, but only those Sims in the active neighborhood can be fully controlled. Sims outside the loaded neighborhood can be partially controlled, however.<ref name="SimsVIP interview with SimGuruGraham" /> Households can be moved between different neighborhoods in the same world, or between different worlds, without issue.▼

All games allow traveling between a base neighborhood and its [[sub-neighborhood]]s. ''The Sims 2'' also allows direct travel between sub-neighborhoods that can be reached by [[taxicab]], [[car]], or [[walking]]. In most cases, traveling to a sub-neighborhood is as easy as traveling from lot to lot within a neighborhood or sub-neighborhood. However, [[vacationing]], traveling to more exotic sub-neighborhoods, generally requires more planning.▼
