Ranking EVERY WORLD in The Sims 4

[@scottysims]

I really wish The Sims team would implement an "apartment" lot type. I hate how lacking in apartments we are, too, and I think it would be so cool to be able to build our own.

[@chantelyoung]

omg i never really thought about an apartment lot type. that’s would literally be game changing

[@MeganJester]

Sadly I don’t think they ever will because it was *the* main selling point for city living and an important aspect of eco lifestyle (not to the same degree as the gameplay of this pack or city livings apartments, but still one if it’s more prominent features). The suits at EA know they’d lose sales (on city living especially) if they did this, so they never will :(

[@morganfaire5684]

@@MeganJester i don't see why they couldn't make it a lot type unlocked by either eco or city - like how the retail one comes with get to work, the restaurant with dine out etc

[@MeganJester]

@@morganfaire5684 it was initially just in city living. They only expanded it to eco lifestyle because we said we wanted more apartments. They heard that request and never even considered the idea of making it base game.

@@MeganJester Then they should make apartment lots only available for those with City living. It makes sense for the packs theme, and would likely boost sales if anything.

[@MeganJester]

Yeah I feel like the pack worlds I love the most are the ones that feel more unique. Tartosa, mt komorebi, henford on bagley, sulani, all feel very unique to me as someone in the US. I prefer my sims living there as opposed to willow creek, which feels like every neighborhood in the US (minus any crime or grime bc sims 4 is a happiness simulator). I know why they did it with San Sequoia. It’s a family pack, I get it. But it feels like copperdale is kinda the same thing?

[@eleberger6628]

@@MeganJesterI completely agree. I honestly feel like I’d be much more interested in generations ep if it wasn’t just another U.S. based world style. I mean come on there are so so many other cultures that are family focuses (more so than the us) that could have been used.

[@lexil52]

So true! I was pretty young playing sims 2 on PC and not really getting into building. I then went to sims 3 on Wii and never built at all. So to be a young player and have no toilets in my house, and having a very hard time building one, I get jt

[@Shaannooonn]

Then we can get different regimes may be like you can pick your age and gaming status (beginner or a pro) and then open the ability to these who will know what to do with it. Building worlds was the main thing I loved about sims 2 and after they took that away I just can’t bring myself to enjoy newer games at all.

[@roelin360]

I am definitely one of those players that would just get confused and frustrated

[@Qtopian]

I feel like henford is top tier when you take into account all the townies and lore in that world, the fairs and errands you can do for that specific world. When taking that into consideration it makes it a super unique world and you cant do that in any other world.

[@notnormalyet]

THE DRIVEWAYS DONT CONNECT TO THE LOTS! I can't play there because it infuriates me so much. Why would they not just connect them?

[@anonymouslol7010]

del sol valley is an amazing world, from the view of the world ITSELF, not including the builds. the lots are too big in mirage park so it’s frustrating only build on a portion of a lot or fill up the lot with empty debug buildings. if the lots are replaced, it’s definitely a really good world, except for the fact that it’s small with no apartments/beach front houses.

[@roguesapphire0]

[@commandrogyne]

There is a mod that makes all worlds residential, but it doesnt solve the problem

[@mwahha6965]

Yes this makes me so sad too

[@robinchesterfield42]

I know! I've been doing an around-the-world legacy challenge, and if Selvadorada was liveable, it'd add a much needed SOUTH (or Central) American bit of variety. We've got butt-tons of obviously-based-off-the-U.S. neighborhoods, but if we had residential Selvadorada and Granite Falls, I could say the family was moving to, like, Peru, or Canada. As it is, the family's living in all "different" places "around the world" is mostly gonna be the U.S. of A. :P

[@Zack_Wester]

@@robinchesterfield42 I mean there is nothing stopping the Sims from having a Residential world and a explorer world in the same pack. like for Salvadoran the Residental/livable world is a more closer to the nations/regions Capital/city/town whit the world been a 4 lot in a group city/town whit a "modern" city feel to it, a 4 slot suberb, and a 4 slot wannabe wilderness livers but its only 30-90 min by train/bus from the city edge kind of deal. and the explorer(what we got now) is the pure wilderness kind of deal. Like I would also love a more explorer Sunami world.

[@junomoon4242]

I downloaded a mod to make them residential, and my sim’s wife (the townie Zoe Patel) is “Selvadoradian,” and her parents live there. It’s so useful and adds some much needed cultural diversity to the gameplay.

something that REALLY annoys me about san sequoia is the fact that almost ALL the lots are 30x20 yet the treehouses take up half of that!!! it feels like a huge oversight on their part

[@handsoaphandsoap]

that, that right there

[@anonymouslol7010]

you also have to consider that sulani was made during the flop era. this shows that they had the CAPABILITIES to make a good world, but just didn’t care enough in the other flop era worlds because those were not world based packs (except strangerville); island living was.

New crest is annoying at first, when it’s empty. But honestly, the fact that I can have neighbors that live close to me and I can visit them and have the freedom of placing all the kinds of lots I want… that top tier to me ♥️

[@handsoaphandsoap]

I actually kinda like that Newcrest always starts out as a blank slate and you can basically build it entirely from scratch, it makes it such a unique world with endless possibilities. I understand the critique of it being annoying having to build it over and over again but it’s so easy to just make a default save file with it filled out and use that as the jumping off point for each new playthrough, or just not use Newcrest if you don’t want to constantly add lots to it. My main critique with it is that the world around it kind of demands you build a certain way since there’s always those debug buildings around and you kind of have to copy their architectural style for it to not look out of place. I sorta wish the overworld was just empty or the debug houses designed to blend into a variety of cityscapes.

I forgot about the outdoor computers at geekcon 😂Literally just adding in a sort of canopy covering would completely fix the issue, wouldn't it? or putting them into an open pavilion, which can be used for other things when there is no geekcon, so the roof can be hidden easily...

Video series request: make Magnolia Promenade usable and livable!

[@DoveJS]

Magnolia Promenade has a really annoying distant spawn point (Sims appear and vanish near the river) so I never want to live there. What I usually do is get rid of the default retail lots and replace them with more useful lots like a cafe, a restaurant, better retail lots, and/or a spa. I also made a much smaller modern two-story vet (upstairs has a small apartment for the vet Sim who owns it) on one of the 20x20 lots but you could have a one-story modern vet on the 20x30 or add a dog training yard to a vet on that big 40x30 lot but I think the 40x30 works best for an all-indoor Spa (since it rains a lot in that area lol.) Basically I'm voting for making Magnolia Promenade *usable* but not livable. It's great for adding in Chez Llama if you want to try the experimental dishes and you could probably add a bowling alley or a pool if you wanted to! I think it's best for building community lots.

[@leontineketting97]

@@DoveJS omg i'm SO in for that refresh, if not livable atleast make this world more usable, make it visible for certain places you normally can only visit when you work there so you can also visit that place if you're NOT at work i love your ideas based on Magnolia Promenade, the pack "get to work" makes sense too, EA should see this comment

[@DoveJS]

@leontineketting97 agreed on visiting the hidden career lots for all EA should definitely do that, but the devs can't add stuff from other packs into that world officially in a refresh since they can't guarantee what packs you have beyond the base game, unfortunately. Simmers don't need to worry about that, so I would love it if more of them could build lots for us to replace the defaults in MP! Like how James Turner built some other very distinct Rec Centers for that new world, using stuff from other packs! (Edit: though these were on other lots, not replacing the original rec center.) Lol, it's annoying to do it manually, though. I will say, if Maxis made at least one retail lot that sold the career unlockables and some of the items added to BG in updates, that'd be cool. We don't need 3(?) Clothing stores. Tbh I almost never visit those lots, so I can't even be sure what they sell. I suppose in the end it doesn't matter much because you can bulldoze them for your own builds, but it is disappointing.

Hi! This is really random and I’m almost certain you won’t see this, but thank you so much for you or a team member for making the subtitles manually with good grammar and correct spelling. You rarely see it nowadays. It’s a stupid reason why I use it, but I’m autistic and sometimes I can only watch videos with subtitles on, unless it’s a voice with a clear clarity of diction or a voice I’ve listened to a lot (e.g. Stephen Fry or Mark Deakins for my audiobooks). You’re voice is already really clear, but I’ve just noticed the subtitles and I’m sure to watch more of your videos because of this :)

the reason magnolia promanade is so small is because they had to make loads of different areas like the place the police station and hospital are future sim labs sixam there are more of a bunch of smaller worlds with get to work

[@anonymouslol7010]

del sol valley is an amazing world, from the view of the world ITSELF, not including the builds. the lots are too big in mirage park so it’s frustrating only build on a portion of a lot or fill up the lot with empty debug buildings. if the lots are replaced, it’s definitely a really good world, except for the fact that it’s small with no apartments/beach front houses.

[@mightelle]

I constantly live in San Myshuno. I change the purpose of the lots and focus on the ‘idea’ of the neighborhood. This one has lots character and versatility. Think BIG!

[@emilyhall8149]

i honestly dislike the apartments in eco lifestyle bc you can’t use the balconies,,, it’s not part of the lot for some reason

[@anonymouslol7010]

but it’s only on one apartment. so all the others are fine, right? i personally don’t mind it, and Kayla explained why you can’t place anything on the balcony when the pack came out. it’s bc there was an error, so they kept it in as a stylistic choice.

[@mochimellow4188]

As someone who just recently got into sims 4 and has been really sad about the amount of expansions and packs there are because it means spending so much money i really appreciate this video. It's making me feel much like stressed because im definitely not going to get all the packs now.

[@soysauce715]

When i decide to use in game cas i surprise myself by using san myshuno clothes more than any other pack and tend to always send off my sims siblings or set their friends in that world by default

[@creepypawstaa]

sob i dont care abt glimmerbrook at all but i truly think the stairs to nowhere are like. an intentional thing to make the house seem absurd and magicaly. nowhere stairs are i think notable for being in the winchester house

[@tiaramassoni1904]

Windenberg is great. Plus it has woohoo bushes in majority of the neighborhoods in the surrounding area. The only other pack with that many woohoo locations is Eco Lifestyle in the dumpsters.

[@joshuatree9555]

Omg you’re so right! I always thought that Tartosa (Wedding GP) was so beautiful but something was missing! It’s cuz the lots are spread out and feels vacant.

[@glykera]

I don't like it because it's somehow meant to be Italian, but Tartosa sounds not at all Italian.

[@lealarsen2017]

my favorite worlds are cottage living and the city. they are really different compared to the rest who is mostly nabourhood. i also like the japanese world and sulani for the same reason but there is not much to do there besides from skiing and a festival. that´s why those two are my favorites. seasons is the best pack because it affect all the worlds and it came with the calendrer

[@TheRealSyrett]

This video was so helpful to me. I just started playing Sims 4 and decided I wanted another world to choose from, to build on, and I just was not sure which pack to get first because I'm just going to get one pack at a time instead of getting them all at once, and so I did have to pick one to start out with and I just was not sure which one would be the best but I knew that I wanted to base my decision off of the world that it came with. I really appreciate how you went into detail for each world.

[@klausing8]

5:04 looks like you got your wish in some way!

[@UnassumingLlama]

Unpopular opinion but I love Magnolia Promenade. It’s incredibly small but I use it as a focus for my sims’ lives depending on the goals for them. Pop star sim? Turn it into a concert hall with a “merch” store. Raging workaholic? It’s a business avenue where they meet all of there coworkers for afternoon coffee and late night drinks. Sim reconnecting to their cultural identity? Have important buildings (temples and otherwise) to recreate that experience

[@seriuslyB]

Getting creative with it🤣 That's how you enjoy it

[@Tara-cv2kz]

Selvadorada is one of my go-to places. I love building there. (edit: and I think the Star Wars pack would be soooooooooo much better if we could build in the world).

[@aroramccracken2429]

My favorite is definitely brindleton bay! I love the nautical vibes and how its big but not too spread out. My least favorite is batuu, but if you can't pick batuu then it would be granite falls. I really like the idea of a camping world but there is just nothing to do there

[@PurpleTangerine559]

I really never got the hype for windenburg and i would put it in decent or not great BUT oasis springs, san myshuno and mt komorebi are top tier My ranking very much depends on the style and aesthetic for example i love the desert worlds, warm places like the jungle and im into mediterranean and contemporary build styles but the suburban areas like willow creek and san sequoia aeent my favourite

[@missDoubleU1]

I agree 100% about windenberg, I think I just don't like the Tudor style so I never have my sims live there. Love oasis springs, newcrest and San myshuno

[@arib1993]

This is a great video! I don't have many packs and I'm looking to purchase more but with so many options, I end up being excited about some feature in all of them. I REALLY appreciate how thorough you were about your reasoning behind your rankings. For example, my 1st thought about the bunker house in Strangerville was, "This is cool. What's the problem?" and ou then proceeded to explain that somebody who isn't used to certain gameplay aspects wouldn't realize that moving an option changes the whole area from useless to playable. 💡 That makes so much sense.

[@domimika9]

My favourites are Oasis Spring and San Myshuno, although I would not mind a refresh 😄

[@julitalks]

15:16 this is my all time favorite world honestly! sulani is such a great place for big families that have children with age gaps because your kid can build sand castles, your teenager can sail on a boat or go to the beach with their friends, and the parents can go to the bar or lounge at the beach. i think the townie dynamics in island living are really interesting too. personally, this is all the way up there on my ranking with cats & dogs and city living. brindleton bay is a really cute area for raising a family too. i always make the parents animal lovers and have them buy the vet clinic there so they can pass it down to their kids when they’re older. owning a vet clinic is SUCH an interesting concept and the lighthouse is too.

[@katericarpenter3551]

after watching one of Satch's videos about the death of the Sims 4, I'm honestly hoping we'll get some more versatile worlds in the Sims 5.

[@SimsyHazel]

You mean satch right?

[@bobesponja19995]

I wish they made an expansion about great real cities around the world, like Paris, NY, Tokyo, Cairo, Rio de Janeiro etc. Would be nice to do stuff there, like propose at Eiffel Tower, go to the beach, visit the pyramids and so much more

[@naomiholz9655]

I got Jungle adventure when it was free in epic, and I was super happy about the new stuff...With this videos I just realize that I got a new world as well hahaha Loving this, thank you Kayla

[@connordowning]

the non townie starter home you built is actually my favorite and most used lot in mt komorebi

[@yara_muffin]

ANOTHER petition for biggest build possible (biggest lot filled up, 8 stories for 8 sims) it would take a while but it could be a series!! ❤❤

[@jamesofglory]

Anyone else suspect the little imperfections are there explicitly FOR the kids starting out who will have to problem-solve and go into build mode? Like idk they work so hard on these expansions it's unlikely things like the fruit bowl and the toilets/stairs to nowhere are all completely unintentional. Glitches and that sort of thing maybe but idk

[@RainyDay253]

I get so excited when I get a new video notification ❤ gives me something to listen to while I work.

[@nikca-wt3xy]

My top tier fav lots must be San Mychuno and Oasis Springs. I love the gameplay with San Mychuno, the details, the apartments, the festivals, everything. Oasis Springs is amazing because that's I think the closest we'll ever get to more modern buildings. Also I play there all the time because of the "spread out" problem you mentioned. In Oasis Springs the lots are close together but then it's still big. And Laandgrabs live there too, so that's another plus 😂

[@dianeprall2937]

It would be so cool if the sims team went through the old packs and just updated the worlds and added more story’s and lore to all of them. It would be fun to see

[@beef6090]

my fav world is sulani, i literally make most of my sims live there, like there is so much to do. island living top tier pack

[@ShadowAnimeation]

The celebrity bathrooms intentionally don't have a toilet because "Celebrities don't poop" according to an online meme LMAO

[@bookcat123]

It’s so hard to play in Britechester. The camera’s constantly jumping up to rooftops. It happens a bit in San Myshuno as well, but is way worse in Britechester.

[@maimaisims]

They should have rebuilt "The Mansion" from Sims 1 for Judith ward 😂

[@ILuvAyeAye]

Personally I would put Henford-on-Bagley and Moonwood Mill in top tier. I get that Moonwood Mill is small, but the lore goes for ages, I’m still learning new things despite playing it to death. (For instance, did you know Greg loves pop music? You can woo him like an 80s romcom with a boombox blasting.)

[@saintakins187]

San Sequoia, Copperdale & Del Sol Valley are the main two places I have my main Sims character & her children live in...

[@KillerQueenKim]

You should do a pack recommendation video based on the townies that come with the worlds 😇

[@samanthaharrison2592]

I really like Newcrest. When i start a new save i like to put lots like spas, bowling alleys, cafes etc there so they are all in one place. On the whole i agree with how you ranked the worlds. Biggest let down is Del Sol Valley. It could have been so much better

[@alphatwo84]

Kayla going all in on their "flop era" makes me laugh so hard because it's true. It's so freaking true.

[@Babe-vi6cv]

i think the bad builds in certain worlds is also an indicator of the level of attention paid to the overall pack. like if they couldn't even playtest a build to make sure it's functional, what does that say about any new gameplay features? like there's some packs that, to this day, are known to be incredibly broken. which selling non-functional dlc and not fixing the bugs for years feels scammy at a minimum.

[@nadjakarlsson752]

I am never as happy as i am in sulani🐬☀️, I absolutely adore it! I also really like mt komerabi☃️⛷️ because of all the nature walks and activities. These two are also the ones that stand out the most to me, but I do probably like henford-on-bagley more than mt komerabi to live in🦙🐄

[@marinagib]

I really wish the Sims team would implement an apartment lot type. I hate how lacking in apartments we are, too, and I think it would be so cool to be able to build our own.

[@amberxxx0]

Mt komorebi will always be one of my fav worlds the neighbourhoods are so diverse, cozy and beautiful!

[@bell7005]

You know, I keep thinking that if the occults had one singular BIG world for them it would be better? Like all the creatures wish to isolate themselves from the humans so they all move to this world together but they HATE each other?? The vampires live in one side of the world, the werewolves live in the total opposite side, the ghosts in the middle and the spell casters in an isolated island with access to their own magical world. Like the more I think about it the more I like that idea?? But I don't think EA would ever give something like that to us 😔😔

[@sistakia33]

I wish I could like this video twice! Once for grading these worlds and once for giving me ideas! I literally stepped away from Sims 4 thanks to computer issues so when I came back I felt totally lost and unsure which packs I needed! Thanks for your ideas! 😊

[@kittiefloyd]

My favorite is Mt. Komorebi and San Myshuno. Absolutely love them

[@noahakers]

YESS! I LOVE RANKING VIDEOS

[@SimlindaYT]

Me tooo :D

[@albondiga_ny]

Once they added functional apartments, Del Sol Valley became one of my favorites. I used that 50x40 lot and placed 4 apartments there, so I have 6 households in just that area. Also, it has really good weather with seasons!

[@ComputerChair]

I don't have much of the worlds but I like seeing these so I can get an idea of the different packs

[@orionsbelt25]

Brindleton Bay is near and dear to me, since it's meant to be New England inspired and I live in New England. The beach areas remind me of where my family and I go on vacations

[@itsmattq]

my all time favorite is oasis springs. i love the mid century n mediterranean style it's just so retro and homey. the lots have roads n streets close together. the lots may have not much to do but the life it brings is so worth it.
