Do Your Sims Regularly Visit Other Worlds?
Or are they for the most part homebodies? I only play one save, one family and don't get to play a rotation of different families in different worlds. My sims have friends and extended family memb...

My sims regularly travel to other worlds. In my Under Tartosan Sun save my sims travel frequently between their homes in Tartosa and Del Sol Valley, San Mysuno, Sulani, and Windenburg. In my Schemes and Dreams save I have Del Sol Valley, San Myshuno, Oasis Springs, and San Sequoia grouped together to be a sims version of L.A.. They still travel to other worlds as the story requires.
Most of my Sims travel to the City and Mt Komorebi for festivals. They travel to Sulani a lot too. I have retail hubs in Newcrest, Magnolia Promenade and Willow Creek as well as a big gift shop in Sulani and a florist in Mt Komorebi and when my Sims get their first home they head there to shop for home decor, paintings and collectables or furniture from a department store. I have a family zone in Newcrest with a play castle, water park and roller rink. I wasn't using Strangerville very much but it has a lot of spare capacity so I'm adding more things to visit there like a Star Wars themed rocket park and some stores. If my Sims want a pet they go to Brindleton Bay to rescue one but I dread that a bit as strays upset me 😭. I have an entertainment hub in Oasis Springs with a club, spa/gym and pub. So they travel there for clubbing, yoga classes, etc. There's a garden centre there too for gardeners to get any harvestables to plant. Most of my Sims use these worlds in their every day lives. There's a restaurant in Windenburg too but I don't use it that much.
I have some Sims that I send to Moonwood Mill and Forgotten Hollow to explore and the teens sometimes head off werewolf spotting after prom on dares. I have a haunted house ruin there too so they venture there at their own risk! I didn't intend to add those worlds as I'm extremely easily spooked but I was pleasantly surprised. I don't have any Vampires in the game though and Forgotten Hollow is currently deserted like a ghost town.
My favourite Sims are the ones that pack a tent, a campfire and a cooler and can sleep anywhere. I get them to camp out on a deserted Sulani island to do rags to riches challenges or in Sylvan Glade or the Forgotten Grotto to go fishing. I have some Sims that have lived in every world in their tents.
I love the Outdoor Retreat and Jungle Adventure gameplay too and my Sims spend weeks there. I've been updating Granite Falls and adding horse friendly lots there because I love taking them pony trekking through the forest in first person camera.
I like adding second homes to retail lots too.
I don't have many Sims that don't travel at least for shopping, entertainment and collecting.
I don't use Evergreen Harbour as much for travelling unless my Sims are makers looking for items like dyes. I don't use Britechester, Glimmerbrook or Copperdale much except for pack specific reasons. I like them a lot but don't have occasion to use those as much unless my Sims live there. I'm in Glimmerbrook right now but it's too small in my opinion and there's no space to really add anything there to visit. I don't use Batuu that much either but I sell the collectables in a space themed retail store in Willow Creek.
I add family members to base game worlds and the city. I get occasional vertigo and I sometimes have problems playing apartments in city living so I often use those as granny flats it's the camera dip from the apartment to the ground that gets me, I keep forgetting not to look! It's my own fault really. Lucky the festivals are all at ground level lol 😵💫.
It was lovely and encouraging reading about the way your sims visit the various worlds and what they enjoy doing there @simsplayer818 🙂 I enjoyed reading about what they do in the different worlds . It is very nice that you have sims that pack a tent,campfire and cooler and enjoy living in each of the worlds.
In all but a few saves my sims do visit other worlds
In one of the saves i am creating has just builds on it which I only use when have another build to place in a world or to use to start a new let's play. Once have 95% of it with lots from residential to venue and the last 5% to be used per let's play I only will be using it if any thing breaks cause of a patch or a new world is out and will have to bulldoze that new world
My other 2 saves that has no one visiting is cause they haven't finished building on the lots in the world they are living in and either befriending a homeless townie who can afford to move in or a family member that isn't the heir or the next heir able to afford to move there. Once all residential lots have a sim either one of mine, a homeless that is EA or from the gallery or I created as a potential spouse then will spin a wheel to see where the next heir will move to and start to build in his new world
