Using worlds and maps
My sims live on the planet Batuu, in Black Spire valley. Since we cannot set up permanent homes on Batuu, this is how I made do with what we have. The map isn't looking any good, but I posted it any...

EnkiSchmidtThat's quite a lot of world building. It looks great even if it is so much to take in that I don't think I completely understand all the details. Especially putting different neighbourhoods in different worlds makes it complex. But it looks like you spent a lot of time thinking this over and it looks good. I also have my own rules of which worlds are close to each other but only follow my own rules loosely. I created a shart for it but don't have it with me right now. I will update and post it tomorrow if you are interested.
What really helped me for batuu was creating a batuu neighborhood in oasis springs. I placed buildings that visually look like they belong on batuu. I added a restaurant with all the batuu dishes on the menu and the staff are aliens (wear the alien masks as uniforms) . There is also a park and a vacation rental. I and my Sims can get a bit of the batuu feeling without actually having to go to batuu. They can even unlock the recipes at the local restaurant.
Simmervillesuch a great map you created. I love it and now I want to make one for myself as well. The roads and other transportation between the worlds is very interesting.
Yes, I expect it is a lot to take in in this state. The map grew organically as my sims traveled from their starting world to other places.
My main point is that we don't need to use worlds as they are, but can easily define specific neighborhoods as actually being part of other worlds. That opens up opportunities for using the smaller worlds.
(In several cases weather manipulation via MCCC is required to retain immersion. When I combined Windenburg and Henford in a different save, I constantly had to force snow in Henford to keep it in sync with Windenburg in winter.)
Looking forward to see your world!
In my game Forgotten Hollow is a secluded hood of Henford-on-Bagley. And in the past StrangerVille was an annex of Oasis Springs, and Evergreen Harbor annex of Willow Creek. Both SV and EH has grown, so they just earned their own district status.
