World

In The Sims 4, a world is a collection of individual neighborhoods (also known as districts) within a single playable map. Presently, the only world for The Sims 4 is Willow Creek ; Willow Creek consists of five neighborhoods.

Travel between neighborhoods is possible, as long as both neighborhoods are within the same world. Travel within a neighborhood is still "open" as in The Sims 3, but Sims outside the loaded neighborhood cannot be directly controlled. Players can switch between neighborhoods at will, though this brings up a loading screen. .
