TS4 doesn't even have one six years later.
The Sims 4 probably never will. It is never meant to be an "open world" like The Sims 3 was or an editable neighborhood like The Sims 2 was. However, there will be a very interesting mod called "World Edit" mod. With the World Edit tool, you can kind of create your own "world" with some technological limitations. You can't make your own placement of roads, though. But you can have your own lots and deco placements however you want. If you want to make a forested region, then go for it. If you want to add a park, then add that. Not sure if that mod is going to be base game-compatible, but it's something to think about.
We were able to start new hoods with empty templates and worlds in all three previous games. (TS1 offered as many empty hoods as you wanted to create). TS2 offered empty templates of any type world/hood you wanted. TS3 offered a free, empty world to download on day one.
The Sims 1 and 2 had 'neighborhoods'.
The Sims 3 had 'worlds'. Riverview is downloadable at The Sims 3 Store as a free world, but Riverview is not empty. It is already populated with Sims and Families, like the Brokes and Newbies and Simovitches.
The Sims 4 just has 'worlds', but they are all uneditable.
We had to beg for anything similar for months (maybe it was a year or so) to get NewCrest in TS4. Ho hum.
I bought my own copy of The Sims 4 back in late 2018. It really pays to buy things late. You get discounted goods for a good price.
Then you are lucky you didn't have to beg and rant to get what 'complainers' had to do to get what most base games already had in them. People went through a lot from Maxis and other players when they pointed out what was wrong with the base and why it was important to make it better. Enjoy the results.
