πΊοΈ Geography & Region Logic
Last Updated: 01/11/26
This is a long-ass masterpost where I break down how the worlds in my save connect culturally, regionally, and politically. Itβs not about exact replicas, but resonance.
Iβve been obsessed with geography and history since elementary, and after years working in hospitality, medical tourism, and professional language interpretation, it was only natural Iβd end up wanting my sim worlds to reflect real cultural friction, flow, and complexity.
Every EA world (as of 2025), from Newcrest to Nordhaven, is mapped here with a real-world logic: how people speak, how laws work, what histories get remembered, and how land is treated. Some TS3 worlds are referred where TS4 falls short in representing a certain culture or region. I use the following mods (plus a healthy dose of play-pretend) to build the gameplay experience I want:
Basemental Drugs by Basemental
Home Regions & Townie Demographics by Kuttoe
Language Barriers by Frankk
LGBTQIA+ Mod by Lumpinou
No Townie Generation and Relaxed Filters by @down-in-simsland
Worlds are grouped by continental region.

π New World
π² Northern Simsonia
These are quiet places where environmental policy is tight, unions still matter, and people pretend not to gossip. Itβs all flannel, regional crafts, and seasonal depression. Green tech is big. So is the lumber industry. Old colonial scars show up in architecture and labor.
Evergreen Harbor
Moonwood Mill
Spoken Languages: Simlish, FranΓ§ims, Windenburgish, Native Dialects.
Cannabis Legal Status: Fully legal for medical and recreational use.
Gambling Legal Status: Heavily restricted.
LGBTQIA+ Acceptance: Very accepting.
Outbound Migration: To West Coast, SimNation for education and green innovation.
Inbound Migration: From SimNation's Deep South and Central Simsonia seeking stability and rights
π¦ North Simsonia A.K.A. SimNation
Four distinct regions, tech-saturated coastlines, wealth gaps across blocks, and rural pockets bound by tradition and bureaucracy. Public services depend on your zip code. So do your rights. Every region calls itself the heart of the nation; none of them agree what that means. Family structures evolve faster than the infrastructure. Political slogans change faster than the roads get fixed. Itβs the dream, the dystopia, and the brunch menu, depending on where you land.
π West Coast
The land of big screens, clean eats, and quiet earthquakes. Individualism is high, healthcare is spotty, and everybody's launching something. Laws change county to county. Weedβs legal. So are three types of polycule marriage if you file it right. Gated communities live next to food deserts. Glitter over rust.
Del Sol Valley
San Myshuno
San Sequoia
Oasis Springs
π» Native Lands
Unceded territory with cultural memory older than any border. These are myth-heavy regions with strong oral histories and coded survival. Legal systems vary depending on jurisdiction. Natural landmarks are sacred. Superstition is fact. You donβt touch without asking.
Chestnut Ridge
Granite Falls
Strangerville
π‘ Northeast
Post-industrial charm, academic ambition, and too many parking regulations. Education is a pipeline and politics are local. Everybody thinks theyβre the blueprint. Weed is decriminalized, manners are passive-aggressive, and coastal elitism thrives behind antique doors.
Copperdale
πͺοΈ Deep South
Faith, heat, and hospitality; until you hit the zoning laws. Cultural tradition runs deep here, along with systemic inequality and fried everything. Festivals have real roots. Family land is sacred. And everythingβs haunted, metaphorically or not.
Magnolia Promenade
Newcrest
Willow Creek
Spoken Languages: Simlish, Selvadoradian, Tartosiano, Windenburgish, Komorebigo.
Cannabis Legal Status: Recreational use legal in the West Coast and Northeast; medical only in the Deep South; decriminalized elsewhere.
Gambling Legal Status: Legal in Del Sol Valley and Strangerville; restricted or outlawed in most other regions.
LGBTQIA+ Acceptance: Mixed, historically inclusive, structurally hostile.
Outbound Migration: High. SimNationals move everywhere, usually calling themselves 'expats' intead of immigrants, avoiding local taxes and raising life expenses. Common destinations include the Old World, Central Simsonia, and Sulani.
Inbound Migration: Very High. SimNation is seen as an opportunity hub, but also as a gentrifier magnet. Many arrive for education, media, or survival, but not always by choice.
πΆοΈ Central Simsonia
Language has texture. History is living. Family extends beyond blood. Laws vary by state, and bureaucracy is both maze and muscle. These worlds are intense in feeling: big food, bigger grief, and joy as defiance. The past isnβt past. Itβs cooking in the kitchen.
Ciudad Enamorada
Selvadorada
Spoken Languages: Selvadoradian, Simlish, Native Dialects.
Cannabis Legal Status: Legal for personal cultivation and medical use; decriminalized in urban zones.
Gambling Legal Status: Illegal in Selvadorada; tightly regulated in Ciudad Enamorada.
LGBTQIA+ Acceptance: Mixed
Outbound Migration: Moderate. Many leave for work or educational opportunities in SimNation or the Old World, some others want security and stability, often returning seasonally.
Inbound Migration: Moderate. Movement from Old World and Caribbean diasporas, as well as regional migration from rural to urban centers.
ποΈ Caribbean
Fluid identities, vivid resistance, and joy you have to earn. Creole blends, diasporic layers, and island economies shaped by both tourism and trauma. Land is unstable in more ways than one. Nothing works the first time. Everything has meaning.
Isla Paradiso
Spoken Languages: FranΓ§ims, Selvadoradian, Native Dialects, Simlish.
Cannabis Legal Status: Decriminalized for personal use; culturally tolerated, inconsistently enforced.
Gambling Legal Status: Legal in tourist zones; culturally contested in residential areas.
LGBTQIA+ Acceptance: Legally Recognized, Socially Negotiated.
Outbound Migration: High. Driven by economic instability and environmental precarity. Migrants often go to SimNation or the Old World.
Inbound Migration: Low. Primarily retirees, tourists, or diasporic returnees. Often seasonal or dual-national.
π Old World
π« Old Kingdom
Tea, titles, and weather complaints. Classism runs under everything. Education is the real currency. Everyone says sorry before they curse you out. Gender roles are rigid until theyβre not. Charm is a weapon, whether polished in a palace or sharpened in the hills.
π Motherlands
Brick, ivy, and the slow churn of empire. Tradition runs the schools, gossip runs the villages, and the trains run late unless the Queenβs on board. Here, history isnβt in the past, itβs the neighborhood watch.
Britechester
Henford-on-Bagley
π Treaty Nations
Emerald hills, wet stone, and poetry sharp enough to cut. The land remembers every treaty, every betrayal and every toast in between. Music is law, laughter is resistance and grudges are heirlooms. The Fair folk still roam here not as legend, but as neighbors with their own borders and bargains. Nature isnβt scenery; itβs a covenant, and living close to it is both cultural pride and political stance. Independence lives in the heart, if not always in the paperwork.
Innisgreen
Spoken Languages: Old Simlish, Tartosiano, FranΓ§ims, Selvadoradian.
Cannabis Legal Status: Legal for medical use; decriminalized recreationally, socially taboo in elite circles.

Outbound Migration: High. Especially younger or educated Sims seeking better prospects in SimNation, Tomarang, or Sulani.
Inbound Migration: Moderate. Often from former colonies or treaty nations; many arrive for cultural, historical, or educational ties.
π» Windenburg
Rules, rituals, and nightlife. These worlds run on efficiency and inherited systems, both technological and social. Paganism never fully left. Public transport works. Art galleries double as punk venues. Regional pride is strong.
Glimmerbrook
Windenburg
Spoken Languages: Windenburgish, Nordska, Old Simlish, Ravena
Cannabis Legal Status: Legal for recreational and medicinal use; socially integrated, especially in wellness and academic circles
Gambling Legal Status: Mostly prohibited, with underground exceptions; tolerated at festivals or private events
LGBTQIA+ Acceptance: Quietly Accepting
Outbound Migration: Low. Windenburgers are deeply rooted and tend to stay, though some artists and scholars relocate to San Myshuno or Mt. Komorebi.
Inbound Migration: Moderate. Attracts creatives, occult seekers, and mystics. Immigration is selective but culturally tolerated.
π§ Nordska
Quiet minimalism. Public funding. Cool-toned everything. These places believe in collective care and individual mystique. Youβre expected to respect the land and mind your business. The supernatural? Itβs just science no oneβs published yet.
Nordhaven
Spoken Languages: Nordska, Windenburgish, Old Simlish, Ravena
Cannabis Legal Status: Legal for medical use; decriminalized recreationally, with cultural emphasis on discretion.
Gambling Legal Status: Restricted; state-run lotteries allowed, private betting discouraged.
LGBTQIA+ Acceptance: Normalized
Outbound Migration: Low. Emigration mostly for global research, humanitarian work, or exchange programs.
Inbound Migration: Moderate. Highly skilled migrants welcomed, especially from Glimmerbrook, East Simla, and parts of SimNation.
π¦ Ravena
History sleeps badly here. Magic is hereditary and grief is ceremonial. Faith is private, but altars are everywhere. You donβt name what haunts you unless you want it listening. Beauty is precise. Revenge is a valid response.
Forgotten Hollow
Ravenwood
Spoken Languages: Ravena, Tartosiano, Selvadoradian
Cannabis Legal Status: Illegal; culturally taboo.
Gambling Legal Status: Technically legal but heavily stigmatized.
LGBTQIA+ Acceptance: Secretive but deep-rooted
Outbound Migration: Very Low. Locals rarely leave. Cultural, spiritual, and ancestral ties run deep.
Inbound Migration: Very Low. Outsiders rarely stay. Those who do tend to be occult-aligned or deeply isolated. Border laws unclear, likely symbolic.
ποΈ Mediterranean
Sensory overload in the best way. Everythingβs seasonal: food, mood, affection. Bureaucracy is a nightmare but life is slow when it matters. Family is everything, even when it shouldnβt be. Everyoneβs always yelling β or flirting.
Monte Vista
Tartosa
Spoken Languages: Tartosiano, FranΓ§ims, Selvadoradian, Ravena
Cannabis Legal Status: Legal for medicinal use; decriminalized for personal possession
Gambling Legal Status: Legal, lightly regulated
LGBTQIA+ Acceptance: Loud Tolerance, Quiet Policing
Outbound Migration: High. Economic precarity pushes Sims toward SimNation, Brindleton Bay, or Tomarang.
Inbound Migration: High. Driven by tourism, dual nationals, and lifestyle migrants from SimNation and the Old Kingdom.
π¨ France
This is where romance meets existential dread. Laws are secular, attitudes arenβt. Style is serious business. Protests are a national pastime. Nostalgia for the old republic blends with modern burnout. Wine is cheaper than water.
Champs Les Sims
Spoken Languages: FranΓ§ims, Tartosiano, Selvadoradian, Old Simlish
Cannabis Legal Status: Decriminalized for personal use; medical permitted with restrictions
Gambling Legal Status: Legal and regulated, mostly state-run
LGBTQIA+ Acceptance: Bureaucratically Queer
Outbound Migration: Moderate. Many young or disillusioned Sims leave for SimNation, Del Sol Valley, or Tomarang in pursuit of creative freedom, economic opportunity, or less rigid systems.
Inbound Migration: Moderate. Artists, romantics, and heritage tourists drift in. The region attracts those chasing nostalgia or aesthetic intensity β not always long-term settlers.
β©οΈ Simla
π United Prefectures of East Simla
Order is sacred, but not static. Culture here moves like a brushstroke: intentional, layered, never rushed. Thereβs reverence for ancestry, innovation without arrogance, and beauty in daily precision. Collectivism isnβt about sameness, but about harmony. Even if that harmony includes contradiction. Silence is etiquette. Formality is armor. And love, art, and protest all follow the same unspoken choreography: everything in its right place, until it isnβt.
Mt. Komorebi
Spoken Languages: Komorebigo, Simlish, Simla Nuo
Cannabis Legal Status: Decriminalized; restricted medicinal use allowed
Gambling Legal Status: Legal in licensed venues, highly regulated
LGBTQIA+ Acceptance: Respectful silence
Outbound Migration:
Inbound Migration:
π― Simla Basin
The Basin doesnβt forget. Empires, dynasties, revolutions: all have left their stamp. What remains is a culture where reverence and resistance coexist. Ghosts are real, and they demand precision. Respect, lineage, and duty shape identity. Bureaucracy is dense. Wisdom is spoken slowly, if at all.
Shang Simla
Spoken Languages: Simla Nuo, Simlish, Komorebigo
Cannabis Legal Status: Illegal; culturally taboo
Gambling Legal Status: Legal in designated cities, state-run
LGBTQIA+ Acceptance: Censored publicly, expressed privately
Outbound Migration:
Inbound Migration:
π Southeast Simla
Hot, fast, layered. These regions pulse with economic flux and spiritual realism. Street food is religion. Law enforcement is complicated. Generosity is communal. Resistance lives in the open. Rituals are both sacred and monetized.
Tomarang
Spoken Languages: Tomaru, Komorebigo, Old Simlish, Toki Sulani
Cannabis Legal Status: Technically illegal but widely tolerated
Gambling Legal Status: Legal and integrated into entertainment sectors
LGBTQIA+ Acceptance: Legally fragile. Queerness is public and ancestral. The Mga Babaeng Imposibla, impossible women as they call them, have always been part of Tomarangβs story.

π Oceanic Lands
πͺΈ Oceana
Colonial aftermath meets coastal identity. Fishing is still survival. Rural meets queer, rough meets soft. Respect the water. Donβt assume the dogs are friendly. Public service is stretched thin. The sun doesnβt care who you are.
Brindleton Bay
Spoken Languages: Old Simlish, Tartosiano, Toki Sulani, Aboriginal Languages
Cannabis Legal Status: Legal for medical use; recreational use decriminalized in most provinces
Gambling Legal Status: Legal but heavily taxed and restricted
