Sims 4 Neighbourhoods

I was wondering if anyone had any information on the new Sims 4 Neighbourhood 'system'.
I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me whether or not we'd be able to create new 'blank/empty' neighbourhoods such as in the Sims 2 where in you could just click and choose from a variety of pre-sculpted terrains and then generally plot and create your own town/community etc.

Does anyone know if this will be possible in the Sims 4?

I've heard that communities are a lot smaller now [ in Sims 4 ], and rumour that there is a very limited amount of pre-made plots, which you may not even be able to freely place around the area yourself.
I haven't experienced much of the Sims 3, but from what I have experienced-you were only able to load different versions of the already existing towns...

I can tell you there is no world tool or templates for TS4. The rest is buried somewhere in this forum.

You cannot make your own neighborhood. You can edit the individual lots in the premade worlds.

You cannot sculpt any terrains. You can change the terrain paint.

I think someone counted 12 houses in one of the "worlds".

Hi, there are two worlds and each world has 21 lots, divided into 6 neighbourhoods. One nhood is a park,a second contains 4 community lots. The other 4 contain mostly residential lots with some empty lots (total therefore 16 non-designated lots). But even the designated community lots can be changed to whatever you wish.

Thanks for all the replies and suggested threads :-)

I really like the look of the new Sims 4 neighbourhoods, especially the new rocky-kinda styled one [ Oasis Springs ? ] but their new way of designating lots seems very restricting for the game.
I would have expected the fact that they're now using loading screens instead of an open world to have opened up more possibilities [ as well as fixing bugs/smoother gaming ] within how you sculpt your own world..
