Sims 4 Worlds Guide: Everything You Need to Know

Latest posts by Katrina Dent (see all)

There are a total of 18 worlds in the Sims 4, each of which has neighborhoods and additional areas. Sims can freely explore the terrain, interact with Sims, and visit stores in their neighborhood, which has helped make the Sims a more interactive experience for players. In this post, we’re going to explore each world and what you can do with free roam.

Although there are 18 worlds in the Sims 4, some may not be accessible if you don’t have all the expansion packs. For example, Forgotten Hollow is only available with the Vampires DLC, so your Sims can’t travel to this location without buying that pack.

Let’s take an in-depth look at each location in the game that your Sims can visit.

Ranger Stations are available around Granite Falls as a way to purchase objects. Bears can come into contact with your Sim to make them feel tense.

Overview: Granite Falls asks Sims to get down and dirty by camping or choose to stay bougie and stay in a beautiful cabin.  With so many insects, you’re going to run into a lot of bugs, so pack your bug spray and mosquito net. To experience nature at its best, look no further than Granite Falls.

Campground

Campground acts like a neighborhood in Granite Falls. Sims that take their vacation on the Campground can choose between full cabins or tents. There are tables and chairs scattered across the campground.

Neighborhood Amenities: The area surrounding the Campsite gives your Sims plenty of room to walk, hike, or jog. You’re surrounded by Pine Trees (that can be edited) that prevent you from leaving the site. The grounds themselves are quite big.

There are a few fishing spots, plenty of places to cook good, and a large statue in the middle of the Campground, which is the mascot of Granite Falls. Sims with a handiness level 7 can learn how to create a smaller version with a woodworking table.

Beside the mascot is the community garden, which had a community garden filled with carrots and potatoes.

Hidden Lot Location: Right beside the two fishing spot locations is Hermit’s House, a secret lot you can access by going down a rabbit hole. But, it’s technically not coded as a world inside Granite Falls.

Hermit House

The Hermit House, also known as the Deep Woods house, is a secret lot and sub-world that rabbit-holes you from Granite Falls. Sims can only access this location through a shrub hole. When the Sim enters the area, they need to go through an adventure before reaching the house.

An unsuccessful return from an adventure will give your Sim a tense moodlet. The most reliable route is the step forward, get through the web and ignore the object, or you could sally forth. It’s a bit random, which makes the Hermit House difficult to navigate.

At the Hermits House: While at the Hermits House, you’ll be able to try for the rare Mountain Lionfish. Close to the waterfall is a campfire.

Rare Items: Sims will be able to collect fish, insects, metals, crystals, and wild plants. The will-o-the-wisp insect is only found in this location, so scoop him up while you can!

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Which Sims 4 World is the best?

Answer: Determining what the best world is can be difficult because it’s primarily based on individual preferences. However, San Myshuno is the best Sims 4 world, in my opinion. It’s the first city where you can purchase or rent your first apartment, and the cityscape vibe looks incredible on the backdrop of a full moon. I definitely recommend moving your Sims here.

Conclusion

Maxis has added a significant amount of worlds to the base game since its initial release in 2014. With over 18 worlds to choose from, it can get a little overwhelming, especially when you just want to build a house and live your life. However, if you’re a completionist, having all the information available for you should feel refreshing. Plus, you save time this way.

A word of advice: You don’t need the expansion packs to enjoy the Sims 4, but you receive so many features that it’s difficult not to pass up all those worlds. With the expansion packs and the updates, you could live out your completionist dreams and finish your notebook.

Have fun visiting all of these incredible worlds in your Sims 4 world!
