I notice there's a concern about how most of the Worlds are American. I understand that, however Sims 4 is actually an American game, so it makes sense.
I do appreciate the following worlds:
Oasis Springs - Mexico/Spain
Windenburg/Henford/Forgotten Hollow/Glimmerbrook - Europe
Sulani/Tartosa - Tropical Islands
Coperdale/Moonwood - Baniff & Jasper Canada
And what I've seen so far, San Sequoia reminds me of Vancouver Canada

Tartosa is Europe and you can add Britechester to Europe, as well. In addition, I think San Myshuno has some Asian vibes (obviously without being all Asian). Maybe it's just the name and the Karaoke that plays with my mind...
In fact, what worlds are typical American except Willow Creek and Strangerville? I can't see how most worlds are American.
Oasis Springs looks nothing like Spain or Mexico, it's a typical New Mexico/Arizona suburb
Copperdale looks just like it could be on the Rocky Mountains
Magnolia Promenade and Newcrest both look as much of an American suburb as Willow Creek
I always assumed Britechester was inspired in Boston (the whole Foxbury vs Britechester seems inspired in MIT v Harvard)
Del Sol Valley is clearly inspired by Hollywood/LA
Evergreen Harbor is based off industrial towns in the Northwestern United States
Brindleton Bay is based on typical New England seafront towns.
Granite Falls could be in any wooded area in the States or Canada.
The only worlds that are clearly inspired in places outside the US are Windemburg (Germany), Henford on Bagley (England), Tartosa (Croatia with other Mediterranean references), Mt. Komorebi (Japan), Sulani (Polynesia) and Selvadorada (Mexico with other Latin American references).
Britechester has always felt like Oxford, U.K. to me, but I can see how it could be a Boston/Ivy League world too. That one is kind of ambiguous.
Yes, no Sims worlds are exactly the same as actual real world locations. They probably designed Britechester Uni taking references from various Ivy League Universities as well as Oxbridge. Just like San Myshuno is kind of a mix between downtown San Francisco and several Eastern Asian Cities.
I am not getting an asian vibe from San Myshuno. To me it feels like New York.
San Myshuno reminds me of kind of a combination of Los Angeles and New York. The spice neighborhood reminds me off LA, where as some of the fancier neighborhoods remind me more of New York City, or maybe even Tokyo….. . San Myshuno could be so many places that resemble a melting pot.
Oasis Sorings reminds me a bit of the desert I grew up in, in California, only we didn’t have brooks and fishing areas like OA has, those were more along the valley ( with lots of tree’s ). The United States has so many different areas. Granite Falls reminds me of a national or State park in California, Strangerville reminds me of deserts in Arizona. Willow creek reminds me more of the south eastern States, Brindleton Bay reminds me of the north east coast of the United States. Del Sol Valley reminds of Hollywood wood/Rodeo Drive/and theSan Fernando. Britechester doesn’t remind me of the states, I think it was modeled after England.
Windenburg, Tartosa, Henford on Bagley don’t remind me of the U.S. either, more of Europe. I think of Selvadorado as somewhere in Brazil or somewhere else in South America. I’m not sure what area inspired copperdale and moon wood mills ….. maybe mining towns in the North East or mid eastern states somewhere?? Or maybe areas in other countries?? Evergreen Harbor, I thought of as an older polluted area on the East coast somewhere that has been abandoned.
It’s funny how we kind of all have our own ideas of where sims towns are located….. lol
