Ranking Every Sims 4 World (High School Years Updated)

[@hicranakdeniz]

Magnolia Pomenade is literally the most frustrating world, I thought that the hospital and the police station would be there but nope. It would have been such a great map for hospitals, police stations, stores and supermarkets to get groceries! Get To Work needs an update imo.

[@korneliachyla]

Agreed!

[@_The.Queen.In.Pink_]

we should've gotten more lots in it, even 3 or 2 more would be better

[@melizabeth555]

genuinely it makes me regret buying get to work. the only good thing abt that pack was aliens imo - maybe it's just my gameplay style but i also don't find that i ever use the retail lot

[@user-Beans2017]

[@prisonisinourminds8070]

Well I liked it only beacuse u could put cool stuff from gallery there and build your own vibe but I have to admit it was kind of depressing to see an empty world at first

[@victorvale1015]

Vampires should have had a graveyard, which could have been added as a base game lot type

[@antoinettetheresa6430]

Hell it could’ve even been added with the LITERAL haunting pack

[@justanotheryoutubechannel]

@@antoinettetheresa6430 I think part of the issue is that there’s so few lots in each town, adding a graveyard would consume another. In some towns like Sulani there’s only 14 lots with only 2 empty, one of them is off the grid and the other isn’t, adding a graveyard there would lock off one of the lifestyle options. And in some of the smaller towns like Magnolia Promenade or Moonlight Falls (that might be the Sims 3 creepy haunted town, I get them mixed up all the time) there’s only 4 lots which it’s just crazy! I have no idea how the developers thought that was okay.

[@hahaomarhaha2287]

knowing EA, they are probably gonna put it in a kit or game pack

[@imthatgirlagain]

Omg, you're right!!🤦🏿‍♀️🤦🏿‍♀️ I was so disappointed with forgotten hollow

[@derptortoise38]

why would they add a graveyard in a world of vampires when vampires are immortal😂

[@AnonYmous17]

the conclusion is "the world looks nice but there's not much to do" for every world. 😂 painfully true

[@oneshotonehit6731]

Word. I can't get over the fact how entertaining going on vacation was in Sims 2 and Sims 3. My sims literally didn't have enough time to explore and try everything, there was so much gameplay! Sims 4 looks pretty, even stunning, but it is incredibly shallow compared to the previous ones.

[@Ivan-C19]

Whats the best world to do things?

[@Alex-gg9ht]

​​​@@oneshotonehit6731 I remember visiting Twikki Island and Three Lakes in the Sims 2, I couldn't even visit quarter of the lots before my vacation ended. It shows how expansive Sims 2 is during its time.

[@JC_Cali]

Or the saying applicable to all of Sims 4: "It's pretty but horribly shallow"

[@Emil_Stoltz]

I can't stress this enough: Henford-on-Bagley would've literally been the *perfect* world to introduce Elves into Sims!

[@yourmother7573]

Exactly

[@williambiarcal8065]

My favorite world is Sulani. I live in a tropical country and I like to make sim versions of my own family. Plus, that place is is ridiculously beautiful.

[@staciii]

It's a pretty world but for me I rarely move sims there or at least play as them because each lot is so secluded. You basically have no neighbors/ rare interactions

[@HunterBidensHandgun]

I turn Sulani into a vacation world

[@noriii]

@@staciii meanwhile for me anywhere I move (any world) there's so many sulani sims why do they follow me everywhere 😭

[@bestrafung2754]

I'm British but I can somewhat understand. I was really happy with Henford-on-Bagely because there's finally something I can relate with more. Even Windenburg made me happy just for the European representation. What would be nice now is an Africa themed pack (though not just one place, Africa isn't just one country). Maybe somewhere based off Kenya and it could look traditional and the pack could also be a Safari one. Imagine sims going on a Safari and looking at a giraffe. Kenya is actually a beautiful country I would like to visit one day. Doesn't have to be somewhere like that though, there are also many other interesting places like South Africa, Ethiopia, Senegal, and Egypt.

[@mwahha6965]

It’s beautiful

[@celo1414]

I would've liked the world more if Forgotten Hollow was split into two different neighbourhoods. One would be with the existent lots, while the other neighbourhood would be more "normal" (i.e. not dead trees and a constant fog). The only time I see myself using Forgotten Hollow is when I'm playing with vampires. Otherwise, it's pretty much useless.

[@noriii]

I don't like the fog but I like the gloomy creepy feel, I would've liked a normal part and then a small part where Vlad and the vampires live, maybe even some townies that live in the normal part of town and are superstitious (kinda like the stranger ville "conspiracy" sims)

[@Ivan-C19]

I use Forgotteng Hollow for my criminal sims

[@ggraverobber]

I made some forgotten relatives of the Goths live in Forgotten Hollow and have some shady relations with the vampires. Lol. Besides the vampires, it is also good for victorian gameplay.

[@mandymeader736]

I think it would be REALLY interesting if the sims 4 had a world that felt like Mongolia, Tibet, or China. And had a martial arts skill like kungfu, a chinese caligraphy skill and had a new dance skill that isnt club dancing, like fan dancer, proper ballet, and maybe some new careers that capitalize on those skills as well as refresh some basegame ones, like Chinese Opera Singer as a singing career, Kungfu could literally be a martial arts and fitness skill based career. I think that would be crazy cool. They could take what they learned from feed back and add the crammed apartments and the nicer old fancy houses. They already brought apartments into evergreen harbor its silly they havent added them into more worlds yet. Especially since I see it as a good compromise between not having an open worlld or space for proper lots. Just stacking lots would be amazing!

[@williambiarcal8065]

God, how wonderful would it be if sims 4 made Belladonna Cove from Sims 2 into a world in their game. That place had like 40-50 lots(I forgot its been a long time since I played ts2). It would be insanely fun to play in.

[@dianafuchs3054]

[@_The.Queen.In.Pink_]

I definitely agree with you about Selvadorada, like, c'mon EA, it's literally the only south american inspired world that we have and yet we can't even bloody live on it? i genuinely hope they either gives us the option to permanently live on it, or gives us more south american worlds, because the sims 4 really lacks representation, for example, i don't think there's even an African inspired world, it's mostly american and sometimes european with a sprinkle of south american and asian.

[@shallowvalkyrie9687]

Right! I personally think we need a middle eastern/south Asian type world because the sims is giving us so many Indian outfits and Indian foods but there’s no world for all of it 🙁

[@p.bckman2997]

There is a trick that allow you to live in Selvadorada. If you make one lot a haunted house, you can buy and it as your home lot. Granted, no-one would like to live in a haunted hose, so I usually build a small room with a bed, desk and a shower at the Arbol de Jaguar, and treat the taxes for the haunted property as rent for the room. It's only suited for single sim play though.

[@unfortunatelyiamsane]

[@Notabot544]

I agree I would love to see an African inspired world just imagine the new hairstyles that would be added to that pack

[@bestrafung2754]

I haven't even seen much traditional African clothing or names in the Sims series. They could at least add that to the game but also not just act like Africa is one country (or sometimes people pick a country but that's it, like thinking Africans are all like Nigerians lol).

[@AlyssaMarie323]

I feel like graphically speaking, I LOVE the sims 4, but just looking at worlds and gameplay, the sims 3 was really amazing. Like I remember not having ANY expansion packs (or maybe only like 2) with the sims 3, yet STILL feeling like I was getting a great gameplay. The sims 4 needs all of them.

Hopefully the sims 5 can be a combination of sorts.

I've still never taken my sims to Sixam. Del Sol Valley should have had a beach and oceanfront apartments (rich and poor). I LOVE Strangerville, I think it's underrated. The lighting is beautiful. That huge park lot that can't be edited in Magnolia Promenade is such a waste too. That world should have had about twenty lots for Get To Work and Retail.

[@Omgwhatisthat42]

A graveyard with a gothic themed building/church type in the middle of Forgotten Hollow would’ve been perfect

[@sydneysbs]

Hi Satch! The way I have combatted the lag issue in my game is whenever it starts to lag, if you just open and close the notifications menu it should stop. If it doesn't, open it again and delete all the notifications and then close it! Weird work around that works for me so I recommend giving it ago! I only play with clothing CC, MCCC, UI cheats and wonderful whims on a gaming desktop PC and it still lags!

[@andrewmoeller1987]

Actually, yes. We do want empty worlds. I love Newcrest. I would love it if we got more empty worlds. Empty worlds are a blank canvas. You can put whatever you want there. And if you're not a builder, there is: The Gallery. I don't understand why any world should be less than 10 lots. Since there are neighborhoods, two 5 lot neighborhoods per world shouldn't be a problem. Other than that, I mostly agree with you. When I first got City Living though, I found there to be an extreme shortage of buildable lots. Oh sure there's plenty of apartments, but I want lots to build on. Build some factories, or werehouses, or more community lots. Selvadorada is probably the prettiest world. Windenburg and Brindleton Bay at the top of you list, is very accurate, no arguments there.

[@coldnuit]

No, we don't want them. It's way more hassle to fill an empty world in every single save, and to find builds on the gallery that you like, that work with the enviroment AND look somewhat cohesive. It's so much easier to just bulldoze every lot if you so desire and there you have it: an empty world.

[@renamami]

@@coldnuit You also don't have to fill it out in every save. It's a really good world for builders. Non-builders really don't have to play in it.

[@coldnuit]

@@renamami Except we have very limited worlds and they get very boring after a while. It's a bit much to ask people to just not play in it or spend hours to fill it with gallery lots, instead of giving us a proper world and builders can take 10 minutes to bulldoze everything if they want to.

Windenburg is btw 200% traditional German. The Dutch build everything with bricks, and not with panels, so it's not Dutch. I hated it for it. Would've loved to see more European worlds. Now the HighSchoolYears is out, the game is becoming more american to me. I hate it. The translation is also so bad. When someone becomes promqueen or promking, there's no direct translation for it in Dutch. So it is very weirdly translated en alsmost ununderstandable.

[@p.bckman2997]

Yeah, the high school pack is extremely US-centric. Most packs and worlds you can at least pretend it's not a US-setting, but the pack is extremely distinct.

[@LeelErine]

Plus there are more and more spelling mistakes and typos in the Dutch version.

[@-wessel7877]

@@LeelErine Hahah yeah, I really do ignore them.. but it's unbearable. The closer you look, the more you'll see. I started playing in English last week, just so everything works properly and as espected.

[@zanet391]

I set my game to English from get go when I got it because my brain works better in english even though it's my second language. I also hate how US-centric it is, mainly the suburban layouts and pre-made houses since it makes the ones I make that aren't suburban stick out. Sometimes I wish I could bulldoze it all and start over but then I am reminded of how I'd never finish the rebuilding. I found a "danish high school" on the gallery to replace the default one but once again, it sticks out.

[@zanet391]

A lot of people already said this, but as a European (Slavic to be exact), a lot of the worlds just feel too USA for me. Windenburg is the closest to "Europe" to my experience, but it's still closer to "german tourist town with renovated medieval houses." Especially the main 3 worlds carry the USA air so much, even if I bulldoze and redo every lot (which I can't be bothered to do). It'. It's the one things that makes me not want to play as much. I wish there was a rowhouse option, it could work like the flats in City Living, but just vertical and tall instead of horizontal and wide. Or at least an option of putting the fence on the edge of the lot, not one tile away.

[@prisonisinourminds8070]

Well the game is American 🙂

[@noriii]

I agree and though I'm american, I like seeing other towns inspired by different countries. I loved windenburg and the cottage living world, as well as sulani because it reminds me of Dominican republic (where my family is from)! It is quite boring to have so many American-like towns and barely any worlds that are unique to each other, even as a vacation world I'd like it

[@zanet391]

@@noriii Personally, I'd like to see some other than Japanese Asian influence. Especially India and Middle East are very recognizable. I'm not an expert in African substyles, but South Africa and Egypt are among the most "known." For Europe, Scandinavia or Mediterranean are very distinct. South America is close to Spanish architecture (due to their history). I'm not sure about Australia so an Australian would have to chime in.

[@mothersim1548]

I think the beach area with the river through it is called a quay (sounds like key lol) Not long discovered you and I think you’re hilarious so thanks for that ☺️

[@cloudsurfer73]

I love how you mentioned how they didn't give us a European world after Windenburg...then brought up Henford-On-Bagley being British and Britechester, also Tartosa -- so that's now 4 European worlds - 2 of which are British-inspired. That's a lot. I think the worlds are interesting if you mention gameplay aspects, like H-o-B is very communal, you have the little traditions, lore, village errands. It really feels like a community. Then you have San Myshuno, which you mentioned the festivals, there's always something going on for your sims to do outside and the districts feel like mini-open worlds.

[@justanotheryoutubechannel]

The most shocking part of this to me is how few lots there are, in the Sims 3 there’s a wide variety of residential, community, and empty lots with a good balance of occupied and unoccupied pre-built houses, and in Sunset Valley there’s 92 lots and Isla Paradiso (one of the biggest ones) has a whopping 118! It’s crazy how Sims 4 thinks it’s okay to just say “there you go, 15 houses, that’s your lot!” with only a 6 or so empty lots in the two neighborhoods the game came with. In comparison to Isla Paradiso, Sulani only has 14 lots. FOURTEEN LOTS. And only two of them are empty! I can’t comprehend the fact that they genuinely thought that was okay. Del Sol Valley is another massive disappointment, half the mao is occupied by visual set dressing with very few actual lots… and only two venues? Seriously? It’s just disappointing and shocking, I wonder if it’s due to the engine being inherited from SimCity 2013, thinking back to that game they share some similarities, large areas with just a few locations, and each city only has a tiny buildable portion of a huge visible area, much like Sims 4 where the lots are much smaller than the visible area.

[@Lyriath]

One of the things I do a lot in ts4 lately is to rebuild and redecorate all those weird and boring buildings ~ but I'm more like a builder anyway. If I'm not in the mood to gow with the flow (and the glicthes) I just build.

Strangerville is absolutely my favorite world. It's so kitschy and fun and really knows how to play up how living in a place like this would kind of suck and I love it.

[@derralle5705]

The GTW world is NOT the smallest expansion world. It is 4 lots bigger than the world that did not come with Seasons. Also I wish to emphasize how beautiful and exotic Strangerville is (and always will be if you don't finish the last chapter of the story)

[@wolpifox]

I loved the vibe of the werewolf map but I agree that once you visited every place you kinda don´t have anything to do anymore. The pack itself was really good and I´m glad they put more work into occult sims but I feel like they could take it even further. Heres hoping that in the future we might get packs with actual worlds and stories to accompany them

[@Ocidad]

its been 8 years, i guess they are done with stories or lore from earlier franchise, just a remastered of sims 2 or 3 is what we need, no hope for sims 4 to be better their recent update is still broken

[@TVDAnnu]

What's really disappointing is there are no collectibles besides one frog near Gregs! I wanted to have a werewolf sim who's very connected to nature and etc, using the land like one of the packs does and then I just found out there's no plants to harvest or rocks to collect of stuff to dig up, it makes no sense with a world like moonwood mill!

[@bekahsierra7313]

I made (and am still working on) an outlet mall for willow creek. It’s a retail lot with different stores and I have a mod to summon a free food stall employee for a food court. I agree it’s super annoying that we don’t have the get to work special lots on it. That would have been amazing.

I like the way you can improve the island through the conservationist career - in my opinion, better tuned than eco living - and I like the lot traits and building on the water, and the unique community elements - that you have a different style welcome wagon, and if you go too long without cooking your neighbors will drop in with food, and if a fire starts all the neighbors come to put it out instead of firefighters. I also love Strangerville and play in that world all the time.

I actually like that the mountain in Moonwood Mill doesn't have much, because if it had anything that Townies automatically went to, where would I force my werewolf to go and howl/scavenge so I can wait out it's rage without destroying all my furniture?

Honestly, to me, as a German, Windenburg looks like a mix of British (classic Tudor style homes) and French and not German. I think it basically is vaguely European, giving a European-ish feel, but not really hitting the vibe of any actual place in Europe 100%.

[@MsEmmiii]

As a fellow German I 100% agree! It also reminds me of a European style theme park area, it looks vaguely European but I couldn’t pinpoint it to a specific area.

[@Mello-208]

it always felt kinda scandinavian to me 🤔 but that's probably because of the neighborhoods' names

[@ElisabethOrchard]

@@Mello-208 I never really looked at them XD So, let's do that now! Olde Platz - Olde is clearly (older) English, Platz is German for place or square Lykke Center - Lykke is Norwegian and Danish for happiness. Center is English, obviously The Crumbling Isle - Just plain old English Windslar - Google translate says that it is windslayer in the Scandinavian languages. Also reminds me of Windsor in the UK and Goslar in Germany. I would also like to point out that "Hare and Hedgehog" sounds very stereotypically English pub to me. Dresden House clearly is a reference to the German city of Dresden but follows the British name conventions of XYZ House, something not done here, usually. Cottage Am See is also a German reference. Am See means at the lake. Von Windenburg sounds like a German nobility name. Von is of and burg is Castle. Bathe de Rill is clearly French Also, the names are also all over the place. Candy and Yuki Behr have English and Japanese first names but a German last name. The Bjergsens all sound pretty Danish to me, the Fryes' last name is English. Their first names are Irish/Welsh, mostly, apart from Dominic. Sergio Romeo Italian, Joaquin LeChien has a Spanish first name and his last name is French for the dog. Ulrike Faust and Maaike Haase sound as German as a name can do. Would have spelt Maaike differently though. The Munchs seem to be another attempt at German. Markus Flex sounds British, Paolo Rocca Italian, Jade Rosa English with a possibly Italian-ish last name? Eva Capricciosa is Italian again. Villareal is a place in Spain, Jaques is a French name, Max can be everything, Luna is Spanish, and Hugo can be several languages, too, but makes me think of Victor Hugo who was French. Long story short, we have a fun mix out of Britain, Ireland, Norway, Denmark, Germany, France, Italy and Spain, when it comes to the names and place names. I think what they were going for is best summarized by the name of another lot in the world: Discothèque Pan Europa (French) discotheque ( from Greek πᾶς: Pan) connecting/entire/etc. (German/Greek/Italian/Spanish/Norwegian/Danish/... Europa) Europe. Paneuropean seems to be the perfect way to call the worlds vibe

@@ElisabethOrchard oh lmao, i didn't expect you to put that much effort into it! thank you for the summary

I’ve yet to stop every single sim I’ve ever created from living in Windenburg. I don’t think any other world that will ever be released will top it

[@coldnuit]

Hmm, I don't see many people talk about this, but personally I do love the big open areas in worlds, where there's no actual lots. If i want to walk around in a neighbourhood with my sim, I like to see other sims around, meanwhile the non-active lots will always just be empty and the townies will not interact with them whatsoever, it can look so weird sometimes. You can walk up to a park in your neighbourhood but it will be empty unless you actually travel to the lot and sit through the loading screen. The cottage living world has that upper neighbourhood that is so pretty and HUGE, if your sim lives on one of those lots you can do soo much without having to actually travel to another lot. Another good example of this is Mt Komorebi, and even Tartosa. As for Sulani, I would rate it much higher, because even though it's a bit lacking, we don't have anything remotely similar to it in Sims 4, and for that reason it's an essential pack/world for me. Anyway honestly, enough with the mining towns, lol. My biggest wish at this point for Sims 4 is an Africa-inspired world, imagine if we had a traditional little village area, another with resorts, an open safari-area. They could even introduce some animals like Elephants, Giraffes, they could world like foxes, they could spawn in the neighbourhood and maybe sims could have some interactions with them like watch them, take photos, etc. We could even have a safari-car that sims can interact with and drive around, like canoes in Sulani. It would be such a unique pack/world in my opinion. OR at the very least a Scandinavian town with the red houses, I'm just not sure what pack that would go with.

[@madelinexmaddie]

I want more worlds like newcrest. I love building and I enjoy being able to build an entire world without having to bulldoze everything. I always move my starter sim in the biggest lot in newcrest

[@astoria4774]

I would love to see a sims 3 ranking so I can revisit it as well

[@PoseurGoth]

Living in a rural area, you kind of see huge driveways to a lot of places that aren't mansions. Granted, they often tend to be gravel, or if it's a middle class place asphalt.

[@essencechambers7192]

am i the only simmer who actually would love more empty worlds like newcrest 🙇🏾‍♂️ i love having the ability to control everything concerning my game so if we ever got more different types of empty worlds, i would be very pleased ❤️

[@CreatEr1n]

I'd love to see you rank the Sims 3 worlds.

[@dracoandkodak9737]

I’ve never once travelled to magnolia promenade with my sims

[@Pressbutan]

“Am I gonna have to restart this fucking game” yes, many many times per session

[@Pressbutan]

10:00 no, that pa k is fucking sparse. I love the build mode items, mainly the mid century windows - but for a world modeled on LA it’s absolutely tiny. 3 “hills” houses? What a joke.

[@karinasnooodles_]

I recommend y'all getting an updated maps mod (i forgot the name) cause the maps are very bland

[@viktoralgotsson]

25:02 They honestly should just get rid of the "vacation world" and "residential world" separation, especially since they made it possible to go on vacation in any world for Snowy Escape.. With this, they are just assuming that "people" normally don't live in the jungle, and anyone who is in the jungle is there on vacation. We obviously don't have that same issue with Granite Falls, because obviously it's a camping world, but we still need to be able to make it residential too, if we want. There's no reason not to be able to do that.

[@theguineapigpeople6134]

I miss when we were able to place our own lot plots wherever there was available space in the world. The maps used to be more customizable in Sims 3.

[@theguineapigpeople6134]

Also I was so upset with how they implemented and designed the werewolves, this is the first time I've even looked at the map - and I have the pack.

[@digthewarmth]

Yea for celebrity venues, you have to try to fix it by creating celebrity clubs and have them meet at the correct venues. Have a club of 1 and 2 star celebrities meet at the up-and-coming spot, and have 3, 4, and 5 stars meet somewhere else, and maybe have 5 stars meet at their own place.

[@lesrox522]

I think britechester was inspired by Cambridge/Boston. The old/new school contrast def felt like a reference to Harvard and MIT being right next to each other.

Regarding Judith Ward: in my playthrough of Get Famous, she's a global superstar but literally homeless? I don't get it 😩

[@luna11703]

Fairies is something we desperately need for the sims 4 and they should have like at panel for what type of fairy you want to be with different elements

[@user-tj7vh5gc5q]

My favorite world is tartosa, for me it is the most beautiful, I find it difficult to have another more beautiful world, even more so that it doesn't have snow, nor do the leaves change, I just love sun and rain.

[@sisterLybid]

"British life simulator" AHAHAHA

[@mia6099]

22:20 the man in the corner clearly loves the world

[@henriquecjesus]

this game is traumatizing, the only actual good world is the get together one everything is so boring and stupid...

[@goated3285]

If you guys use mods, 20thCentury Plumbob has some of the best world maps to enhance your worlds. Especially the San Myshuno map.

[@Timmyprescott69]

Lmao i died when u said "minecraft house"

[@chloeteax]

i think other european worlds besides windenburg in the sims are based off of england, like britechester and henford-on-bagley, but to have only two european cultures represented is sad to me

[@leontineketting97]

Allthough i'd like to see the world based on each continents i completely agree Windenburg is based on Germany i guess Tartosa is based on south europe countries and the other 2 worlds are based on the uk (Henford-on-Bagley and Britechester) I'd like to see the scandinavia worlds like Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Norway Or even Europe like The Netherlands (coming from The Netherlands) or Belgium to name something (even more activities like they did with some other worlds like Henford-on-Bagley, San Myshuno, Mt Komorebi if i'm correct)

[@robertgronewold3326]

I'll say this much, but Journey to Batuu is worth it exclusively for builders. I'm a builder, and it has some great stuff. But if you're a gameplay person, never buy that pack.

[@unhingedunit562]

Sometimes I wonder how my macbook pro handles sims 4 without lagging, but if I feel like if I actively mention it to someone in my life, it'll be cursed

[@SquareKittenSims]

Omg, I am so used to playing with save files I forgot how terrible some of the default builds are. I am cracking up at that Stranger Ville house lmao - what were they thinking?

[@mildlymoon]

Satch download the simulation lag fix mod! It fixes the lag you get from leaving build mode etc ❤️

[@satines6045]

Evergreen Harbor Pinecrest Apartments is the Floodgate Apartments from Sims 3 Bridgeport.

I do like the little pet cemetery in Brindleton Bay lol As far as museums I literally never visit them unless they have a want to view art at one or some such.
