The Different Worlds

I too love Brindleton Bay, though I have done a LOT of world hopping with many, many, many Sims. I have only played in Forgotten Hollow once. I seem to play most often in apartments; so San Myshuno and Evergreen Harbour. That's the basics with me.

Oh, except that I also very, very rarely use Newcrest and don't think I've ever filled it up properly. I've been too busy playing where populations and architectural aesthetics already exisit.

Windenburg is my favourite. I have played there a lot, maybe because it's a big and versatile worlds. I think my other favourites are Strangerville and Sulani, because they are quite special worlds. At the moment I keep Strangerville infected, because it gives it such an unique vibe.

I sort of avoid Newcrest like the plague. I played there at some point, but I find it to be a boring world, so my sims are prohibited to live there. I have filled it with community lots, though.

I actually enjoy all the worlds but currently my favorite is Chestnut Ridge.

My one family currently resides there but I have family, friends, and community venues in all of the worlds which gives me reason to visit them frequently.

I rarely have my sims live in Oasis Springs or Del Sol Valley because having basically the same weather day after day feels unnatural. It's why I immediately bought Seasons when I realized the base game didn't have weather. I prefer the variety of having all the weather and the activities that come with it. Even though IRL I low-key hate winter, it feels abnormal not to ever have snow. (We just got our first real snowfall of the season where I live last night!)

The weather is same-y in Sulani as well, but I do play there sometimes because at least the beach and ocean activities provide some variety that the desert worlds don't have.

I tend to have my sims live in Windenburg, Henford and Newcrest the most.

Brindleton Bay is my main world. It's big enough to have a lot of houses and community lots, so I won't need to visit other worlds to do things. It's also pretty and has the feel of a small town, without being too small, like Chestnut Ridge. It's simple enough where I can change its feel and identity by changing the lots; I usually make my Brindleton Bay an occult paradise. And I can play on most of the lots, because so many are located in good areas and have good sizes to them.

I like Chestnut Ridge, Moonwood Mill, Sulani, Copperdale, Mt. Komorebi, Glimmerbrook and Henford, but with those worlds, I only play on the same couple of lots because the world is so small, or most of their lots are small or in a bad place. So I'll usually play a single family (or two, in Mt. Komorebi's case) in those worlds.

Windenburg is where I dump old money European families; I like the world, but I never play in it because the community lots are pretty good, and I like to have my sims visit them. I used to play a magic school here, but then I moved it to Brindleton's big 64x64 lot, since the rest of my game revolved around that world.

StrangerVille and Tartosa would have been mainstays if they weren't so puny. Almost all the lots are small or isolated, and there are so few lot spaces that I can't put any new attractions. I just have one family here, and I only use them as background characters. But on the plus side, with Tartosa I can finally build some Mediterranean houses and not have them look out of place.

I usually use Del Sol as a dumping ground for celebrity NPC sims. Forgotten Hollow is a dumping ground for goths and vampires. Evergreen Harbor is small, so I'll only use it for rags to riches challenges, and the sims will usually move out once they no longer need to dumpster dive. I just I never play Magnolia Promenade, Britechester, San Sequoia, Oasis Springs, Tomarang, or Granite Falls.

With my supersim I have lived in nearly all worlds. I always try to live in the world that comes with me same pack as the aspiration I am currently working on. Doing this has learned me to appreciate something in nearly every world. Even worlds like Del Sol Valley which don't like that much, now have some memories. Still on my list for my supersim to live in are Tartosa, San Saquoia and Chestnut Ridge.

In general I prefer worlds that have something to do around the lots like swimmable water, a hiking path, climbing rocks, ski slopes, a permanent store or stall for groceries,... and some collectibles as well.

I tend to gravitate towards Henford on Bagley. I like the rustic country feel but there is something to do as well like shopping in the village stalls or talk to the creature keeper. My favourite used to be winderburg but that world really needs an update to make the world swimmable. I also enjoy Mt Komorebi, Sulani, Moonwood Mill and Chestnut Ridge.

The worlds I really like & goes with other worlds are:
Windenburg/Henford/Chestnut Ridge
Oasis Springs/Strangerville
Sulani/Tartosa
Forgotten Hollow/Moonwood Mill/Glimmerbrook

Assuming you mean worlds to live in:
In order of preference: Windenburg, Willow Creek, Brindleton Bay, and Henford (pretty much a tie there). Glimmerbrook is a backup for sims wanting to get away from it all. The other worlds (including Glimmerbrook) are seldom visited unless there is a reason to as they are nothing but landscapes with little to do or find. What is the point of going to a world if there is nothing to do but look at it? Far too many worlds have few lots of any sort, too many missed opportunities for putting in something useful for sims to go to and do things. Example: Strangerville is useless apart from the quest. Have lived in many 'military towns' so know from experience that there should be more than two community & 3 residential (2 of which are taken) lots in the lower section. There are an abandoned motel, diner, and gas station on the highway. Really? That should be a hopping place for those traveling along the road with places to gas up, eat, sleep, and unwind. The Route 66 thing. Could go on but you get the idea, too many worlds are just so much set dressing, not active simming opportunities. This is particularly true of the new ones.

Have pretty much played lived in all the worlds except for Mt. Komorebi which I use as a vacation world and only touched a little bit of the newer worlds San Sequoia and Tomarang as right now no one is moving out where they are. When have someone ready to will place on half the lots community and neighbours and my sims will live on the other lots
Occults pretty much stay in their own worlds, Aliens in Strangerville, weres in Moonwood Mill, Mermaids in Sulani, Spellcasters in Glimmerbrook and vampires in Forgotten Hollow if they marry another occult or husim then will decide stay in their current location, marry into their spouses or move elsewhere if they have roommates or family that lives with them. Pretty much decide with a wheel or dnd dice if they move or stay

I rotate with all of the worlds between various households and I am using or will use them all. Sometimes I have my own customized lore or canon for how I link them together and where they are though I do pay attention to the general way that they are designed. I also let my sims travel though I do so logically. The desert worlds basically all connect with each other. Everything connects with Newcrest which serves mostly as a place for community lots and custom builds that any household can use. I could honestly use a second variation on Newcrest to expand. I also have a couple of restaurants in Willow Creek that pretty much any sim can visit as well. In Newcrest I have a playable spa, a cafe, a permanent ice rink, a "funplex" movie theatre/bowling alley, a toddler-focused play park for families, a nightclub for single sims, a burger place for anyone, the Lost Gardens of Time lot with a wishing well, a very historic-looking library, a cemetary, fine dining and an area with a few very wealthy households including a giant castle with a royal family.

In Oasis Springs, I built a custom gym that is so nice that I let any sim visit it. I also installed a really nice outdoor swimming pool there that is essentially always swimmable so I do let anyone visit that lot as well. I also have another bowling alley, a yoga retreat, a diner and a few other things. Several of the worlds have their own wedding venues and I do have several churches across the different worlds with religious clubs that do actively go to those locations. I basically have some sims who like to do that and some who don't so they go if they want to and some of them choose not to. I also have sims of different religions in my game and multiple different denominations, actually. Everyone co-exists in my save, lol.

Beyond that, the Windenburg townies tend to live in Windenburg, the desert townies live in the desert worlds, Willow Creek people tend to stay in Willow Creek or Newcrest or Magnolia Promenade. Anyone can go away to Britechester or live at home. Brindleton Bay residents stay there or go to one of the places I've already mentioned, etc. So, I do kind of restrict how I move my sims around but I don't mind if they run into visiting townies from other worlds a lot of whom are from my rotation or are townies that I "know". I ignore them if I want to.

I did make Glimmerbrook into a very little Celtic village. Forgotten Hollow is near Windenburg as is Tartosa. I only recently added Copperdale, San Sequoia, etc, so I'm playing those as connecting worlds as well. Anyone can go to the carnival or the high school, obviously. Strangerville is remote but they can get to Oasis Springs and Del Sol Valley so I've actually been housing a few actors there including one who is starting out in the trailer, so as a starving artist. If they weren't born into it, actors are broke in my game. I also have made it so that Strangerville is a military town but military families can be transferred out. I've decided that one of my custom Strangerville households is actually going to move to Mt. Komorebi and live with the pre-made families there rather than just vacationing. They may pack up and move a few times, learning about different cultures. Anyone can move to San Myshuno and I've honestly filled that world up a lot but some of those residents avoid leaving the city. Anyone can go on a vacation anywhere though if they can afford it. Tomarang is being gradually worked in; I will play with the residents and I've also added some vacationing there at first.

I follow a kind of logic. I also use many of the lots and come up with projects for them.
