Since its launch in 2014, The Sims 4 has grown far beyond its original neighborhoods. What began with a handful of suburban worlds has expanded into a sprawling universe of cities, islands, mountains, and fantasy realms—each offering its own culture, weather, and stories. Whether you’re building a dream home, running a business, or sending Sims on supernatural adventures, the world you choose shapes your gameplay in a big way.
Base Game Worlds

Its six neighborhoods include everything from cozy starter homes to grand riverside estates, with a lively park and plenty of space for community builds.
2. Oasis Springs
Inspired by the American Southwest, Oasis Springs offers a desert environment perfect for modern architecture. Its warm tones, cacti, and luxurious neighborhoods make it ideal for wealthy Sims, while its affordable starter areas keep it accessible.
