With The Sims 4 Werewolf Game pack already proven a hit with players, (via Keen Gamer), there might be a few others who haven’t got it yet wondering what world they will be best playing this in. Since there are currently 22 worlds available in The Sims 4, with each one offering its own unique design, residents, and weather system, there is an array of options to choose from (although it’s likely that a player will want one that is the most spooky).
However, even if players don’t want to buy the newest supernatural pack, they might want to take this time to now go explore the other worlds. Not only is there much to be discovered but they could also be excellent places to home a Sim.
Del Sol Valley
Del Sol Valley came as part of The Sims 4: Get Famous expansion pack, and was made to resemble Hollywood, Los Angeles. The city is home to the rich and famous, and the palm tree-covered paradise has some of the largest residential lots in the game. It also has a film studio for Sims in the actor career.
Del Sol Valley feels like an upgrade to the base game Oasis Springs desert town. The world has pleasant sunny weather and beautiful architecture, and is perfect if the player’s sim wants to go celebrity spotting or make their name in show business. A lot of the lots, however, are poorly decorated and the Plumbob Pictures Museum’s bad design leaves much to be desired.
Brindleton Bay
Brindleton Bay accompanies the Cats & Dogs pack and offers a relaxing coast-side view for the Sim and their furry friends. The town is home to Brindleton Pawspital, a veterinarian’s office where players can take their cats and dogs to get spayed or neutered, have surgery, or pick up medical treats. There is also the Pupperstone Park to train dogs and let them run free, or meet fellow pet-owning Sims.
The town’s cloudy coastal vibe was the first of its kind for The Sims 4 and was one of the first expansion packs for the game. The town is littered with adorable animal strays that the player’s Sim can adopt and give a loving home. Other beach towns have since been created and arguably improved the format.
Glimmerbrook
Part of the Realm of Magic game pack, Glimmerbrook offers two worlds in one – a woodland village rife with witchcraft and wizardry, and a “The Magic Realm,” accessible through a secret portal in the town. The realm contains a floating rock in space with a few extra lots for spellcasters to train and duel one another.
If it were down to sheer spectacle, Glimmerbrook may have stood out among the rest. The dual worlds and mystical-medieval aesthetics are unmatched by anything else in The Sims 4. However, the poorly designed lots are quite the eyesore and the often short-lived gameplay of an occult game pack means that players will likely not revisit the world very much after playing through Realm of Magic once or twice.
Henford-on-Bagley
Provided in Country Living, this village takes inspiration from the English countryside. This influence is shown throughout the world, with a rural pub named The Gnome’s Arms with traditional dishes (like Yorkshire pudding). Foxes, Rabbits, and countryside birds roam throughout the world for the Sims to interact with on their visit, or should they decide to take up farming and purchase some chickens, cows, and llamas (or go vegan and grow uniquely British flowers and vegetables).
The world perfectly encapsulates quaint countryside villages that soothe the soul of those who enjoy the rural way of living. While certainly one of the most beautiful, the argument could be made, however, that there are many wooded, western-inspired worlds in The Sims 4.
Tartosa
Inspired by Greek coastal towns, the world is designed as an escapist wedding destination in the Wedding Stories game pack. The world has a mix of residential lots with their own secluded ocean views and community lots designed to be used as wedding venues. The world also has a town square with interactive shops to browse and a fully functional beach for sims to visit.
If it were up to beauty alone, Tartosa would stand out the most. The diverse and cultural lots available in the world, especially the dynamic town square, only improves that. Unfortunately, the vast amount of glitches in the Wedding Stories pack renders some of these lots unusable, and still requires many patch updates.
Windenburg
Windenburg was introduced in the Get Together expansion pack and is the most architecturally distinct of all the worlds. Every lot has a distinct German-style architecture that is prominent throughout Europe and has largely historic spots. In theme with the pack, the world has a large number of locations where Sims can “get together” with friends (such as bars, coffee shops and nightclubs).
Windenburg is arguably the pack that is the most reusable, as both a stunning place to live and visit, with many locations ideal for exploring, going on dates, or just hanging out. For players looking for a pack to choose from, this world offers some of the most value for money. Its leafy European climate, however, is quite a frequent sight in the game and resembles quite a few other words that already exist in the game.
Evergreen Harbor
Evergreen Harbor is the first of its kind in The Sims 4. Introduced in the Eco Lifestyle, the industrial town adapts to the gameplay the user puts into it. The world is introduced as highly polluted and rather unsightly, and affects the Sim’s moodlets. Through engagement with the world through recycling and community action, it will become neutral and eventually a green carbon footprint, becoming a beautiful eco-friendly paradise with blossoming community spaces.
The harbor is dictated by the player’s desires on how the world should look and function, giving users new levels of control. It offers evolving community and residential lots. There are also many hidden gems inside the dumpsters dotted around the city that can help Sims get rich quick. This may not suit players who want to deal with the upkeep of the world frequently.
San Myshuno
City Living’s San Myshuno was the first city to appear in The Sims 4. The bustling city has four diverse neighborhoods, from the extravagant Uptown to the urban Arts Quarter. The city center is an ever-changing space that hosts a series of festivals and special events throughout the seasons. The city also introduced apartments into the game, where Sims rent instead of owning their residency.
The city is rather unique to The Sims 4 in that the town constantly changes along with the seasons. The apartment system with neighbors is a refreshing form of gameplay, and the city is as close to The Sims 4 gets to having an open world system (although the mountain environment is rather repetitive for the game).
Mount Komorebi
Introduced in the Snowy Escape expansion pack, Mt. Komorebi is based on the snowy, mountainous Japanese islands of Honshū and Hokkaido. The world is also the first of its kind in introducing bathhouses into the game as well as skiing and snowboarding. The world is diverse in climate and scenery, with traditional Japanese architecture all around.
Mt. Komorebi has great duality as both a residential and vacation world, meaning it’s ideal for short and long-term gameplay. Its rich immersion in Japanese culture makes a refreshing change from the mostly European and American worlds in The Sims 4, and the sports and hiking options are a dynamic addition to the game. The one drawback is that the excess snow and blizzards can be annoying, and players may use Sims cheat codes to change the weather.
Sulani
Sulani is the first island in The Sims 4, added in the Island Living pack. Based on Pacific Islander culture, Sulani is also the first world to have beaches will fully interactive beaches and oceans for sims to explore. It also adds mermaids into gameplay, giving them a central role in the local folklore. The town is a spot where residents come together and hold frequent festivals and can partake in spiritual cultural exchanges.
Sulani boasts being the most beautiful world to look at, with stunning transparent ocean views twinned with vast volcanic horizons. The option to build on the sea is a revolution in how Sims live in worlds and how players can build within the game. The island town of Ohan’ali and the world’s representation of Pacific Islander customs take the world beyond what could have been a shallow vacation world and is the finest example of Sims 4 graphics, gameplay and versatility.
