How Do You Decide Where To Live?

There are so many worlds in the game now, I just cannot decide what to do. Usually I play on rotation in the same game save and use maybe four or five different worlds for the sims to live in, but I am still missing out on so many!

How do you decide which world your sims will live in and how often do you change worlds? 

Do you have any worlds just for community lots or vacation lots or other specific types?

----------------------------------------------

UPDATE: Thank you so much to everyone who replied ❤️

I've gotten some good ideas and think I am going to be less regimented from now on! I am going to just go with a random number of households in all the worlds that I think will suit their storyline, just swapping whenever I feel like it, and do ageing for everyone on long lifespan. I will keep Newcrest for a big variety of community lots and a couple of my less favourite worlds are going to be just for vacations. I can't wait to start!

  • Depends on the family I'm playing. 

    My 2014 Sims ALL were in "Willow Creek" . That's where my FIRST Sim, Jetta, started from. Honestly, I don't remember when it was, but around 2015 (or 2016) I moved Jetta to "Oasis Springs" , where the Burns family All currently live. 

    Most of my modern day Sims are from "Newcrest" now, because I put my OWN houses in for them, without having to tear down an existing one first! 

    In "Oasis Springs" , my "Jamie Jolina" and my "Burns" family (Jetta - my FIRST Sims4 Sim! - her sister Sheila, and Jetta's daughters Mary and Miranda) ! ...

    Never did get around to making Jetta's husband, Reuben, so I just use a headstone in his place! He was a cheater and had 5 other women during his marriage with Jetta! One of those even got pregnant with a daughter and son! I'm not sure what happened to them, but I've not seen seen them since the babies aged up to "toddlers" ! 

  • For me it depends on what content I set out to play with. I prefer for my SIms to live in the world that offers what I'm currently interested in tackling. I've been playing in Sulani and Moonwood Mill a lot for example. Now, while exploring Adventure Awaits, my Sims live in Gibbi Point. Either I make new Sims to play with or move my already played one(s). I don't feel a need to balance things in any way. I just follow my heart so to speak. There are worlds I have only played in briefly and never gotten back to again. Others, I still have yet to explore since I don't play consistently.
