Perhaps, and I too have felt Oasis Springs feels out of place at times for immersive purposes. I've actually felt that, aside from Oasis Springs though, I almost like to think of most of the worlds as one big town with perhaps some areas being a little more "farther away". Oasis Springs could almost be like the desert in Stardew Valley if you ever played that. Perhaps there's a mountain range (the one with the Vampires) in between that makes the other side "drier".
On the flip side, a lot of downtowns also means a lot of the same map, which I found bugged me a bit in the Sims 2, so there's positives and negatives with both ideas really. Although, eventually there were quite a few different maps that could be used to alleviate that. I found after having that in Sims 2, to not have that in Sims 3 actually made me stop playing Sims 3 for quite a while.
While I don't think the Sims 4 is going to completely cover what you could do in that regard to Sims 2, I still think at least that aspect of it "one-ups" Sims 3 (even if the neighbourhoods are smaller).
