There are a total of 18 worlds in the Sims 4, each of which has neighborhoods and additional areas.

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.
