Ravenwood (Life & Death)

A Chilly Haven For Reflective Souls, Where Rain Reigns Over Snow

• Mild and cool weather is common year-round.
• Cold in winter, but never freezing or snowy to preserve the eternal, ethereal aesthetic.
• Bone-chilling atmosphere to send shivers down spines

Winters are rainy and cold, creating a moody setting for mourning lost loved ones or exploring the mysteries of rebirth; however, the absence of snow and freezing temperatures makes it less ideal for Sims craving snowy vistas or winter sports. Ravenwood’s weather suits its themes of life and death perfectly, though snow lovers might find other worlds more appealing.

Forgotten Hollow (Vampires)

A Dark, Cool Refuge For Vampires

• Winter temperatures range from cold to freezing with snowfall, but never blizzards

While summers can bring warm temperatures and occasional heat waves, thunderstorms often roll in, adding to the eerie charm.

Winters are cold with regular snowfall, though blizzards are notably absent, making it less extreme compared to colder worlds. Though its gloomy weather suits the vampire lifestyle, Forgotten Hollow ranks low on the list of coldest worlds, as it lacks the harsh winters and icy conditions some Sims might crave.

A Blank Canvas With Cold Winters And Balanced Seasons

• Winter weather consists of cold and freezing temperatures with snow and blizzards.
• Generally warm for spring, summer, and fall
• Offers a perfect balance for Sims who enjoy the chilly season without persistent cold

Introduced in a base game update from 2015, the world of Newcrest experiences a range of temperatures that earn its place amongst the coldest worlds in the game. This world is an empty shell, good for players who enjoy building or those who download lots from the Gallery. Temperatures drop to freezing in the winter season and blizzards are a regular occurrence. On the contrary, summers can be warm to hot, with occasional thunderstorms that bring a dramatic shift in weather patterns.

Spring and fall are more moderate, offering warm and cool temperatures, though rain can add a touch of chill to the air. While its winters are undeniably cold, the overall climate doesn’t reach the extremes of other colder worlds, which is why Newcrest ranks low on this list. Despite the snowy winters, the more balanced weather throughout the year makes it less harsh compared to other frigid locations in The Sims 4.

While its winter blizzards and chilly temperatures are ideal for winter camping, the overall climate doesn’t offer the extreme cold found in other worlds, which is why it ranks 9th.

The inherent furry nature of werewolves provides them with a natural adaptation to colder temperatures, allowing them to embrace the chill of winter with ease.
