ORIGINAL VOLPEDIA STEP-BY-STEP

Worlds and moving households guide: complete walkthrough

01

Compare base-game worlds

Willow Creek, Oasis Springs and Newcrest offer different starting landscapes and lot choices. Select a property that suits household size and budget.

02

Review DLC worlds separately

Windenburg, San Myshuno, Sulani and other worlds require specific packs. Confirm ownership instead of expecting every location to be free.

03

Inspect destination lots

Check lot size, furnishing, nearby venues and commute-independent routines. Moving is about amenities and story design as much as price.

04

Save before replacing or moving

Create a manual save so you can restore your previous setup if routing, household finances or layout are not what you expected.

05

Test the first day in the new lot

Have every household member eat, bathe, sleep and leave the lot. Repair routing problems before planning a large party or renovation.
