Forum:TS3 Worlds or TS3 neighborhoods?

There's a little discussion going on at Talk:World between Nikel23 and myself regarding whether The Sims 3 towns should be classified as worlds, in the same vein as worlds from The Sims 4, classified as neighborhoods as in The Sims and The Sims 2 (which is where they currently are), or whether we should pursue some third option.

On the one hand, EA/Maxis has used the term "World" to describe these places in The Sims 3, and released the Create a World tool to create those worlds. On the other hand, the TS3 idea of game worlds is different from TS4s. It could be argued, as well, that the TS3 worlds are just as different from the TS1/TS2 neighborhoods as the TS3 worlds are from TS4 worlds. Ultimately, I think this matter needs a little more open discussion, as it affects wiki organization, navigation templates, categories, etc.
