Where are the worlds in relation to each other?

If all the worlds were on one connected map, where would they be?
I've always thought Windenburg to be north of San Myshuno based on the trees you see in the world view of SM. I've also thought that the river running through SM widens into the bay in Windenburg. Magnolia Promenade is likely very close to Willow Creek and Newcest lies somewhere between SM/Windenburg and Willow Creek

I always thought SM, or at least part of it could be what's visible in the background of WC and NC. Maybe WC is quite near NC, as the surroundings are very similar.
I'd like to know where FH is in relation to all of this.

Windenberg, Forgotten Hollow and Brindleton Bay are the furthest north due to having a similar day length.
San Myshuno, Willow Creek and Newcrest in the middle. Granite Falls is around here too.
Oasis Springs and Selvadorada are the furthest south but separated by a mountain chain by being the hottest.
On the other hand, I can easily connect Willow Creek, Newcrest, Magnolia Promenade and San Myshuno. You can see a city in the background of the first three worlds, and there are shared trees and plants in all four (especially the park in SM) that make it look as if the first three are suburbs of the fourth. That's how I play them in terms of connectivity.
Forgotten Hollow is probably near to Windenburg, since they're both very European and traditional worlds.
I always imagine Forgotten Hollow to be upwards the river you can see on Windenburg's map in a dark gloomy forest area where the river originates from.
Windenburg is on an entirely different continent and Forgotten Hollow is a little town deep in the Windenburg mountains
Brindleton Bay is a coastal town thats a bit of a drive from San Myshuno
Oasis Springs is in the same country as WC, NC,MP,SM,BB,GF but is south west so very far away from them all.
Selvadorada is also an entirely different continent
In my story, San Myshuno is on the West coast. It is the main hub and all other worlds branch off from there. Willow Creek, Newcrest, and Magnolia Promenade are all considered mainland suburbs of that city.
Windenburg is a picturesque, thematic enclave, further north. It's a day trip or an overnighter. Yet, it's still considered relatively local. Friends of the main family in my story live there and visit back and forth.
Oasis Springs is Southeast, also a day trip or overnighter. Yet, in relation to Windenburg, Oasis Springs is closer to the city.
Brindleton Bay is clear on across country on the East coast. I use it more for a long weekend or a full vacation trip. One of the romantic interests of my main female Sim has a vacation cottage there.
Granite Falls is a weekend trip Northeast, beyond Windenburg. Selvadorada is much further south, a plane ride away.
I assume that Forgotten Hollow would be someplace overseas. My Sims never go there. It doesn't much suit the story that I'm telling.
I can not post links so look for his name: KEYLIMEPIESIMS

I really love how thought out this is. Unless we ever get something official I’ll probably go by what you wrote
This makes the most sense. I think Windenburg is closer to WC/SM/Newcrest than Oasis Springs. Perhaps Granite Falls is someplace near Windenburg.
SM feels like a US/Canadian Pacific coastal city to me, WC is a coastal Southern US city, OS is Arizona, NC is probably more a suburban city either close to WC since they share similar environment or SM simply for the city buildings in the backdrop. WB is clearly a German province, it's far too different in style from the others to ever be part of the same nation. BB is Maine or Nova Scotia, and FH is way down in the darkest corner of Eastern Europe, like Transylvania, so closer to WB.
As for vacation worlds, well GF feels like Rocky Mountains to me and SD is obviously an obscure Central/South American country.
I have learned not to do that too often as it is dis-orienting and sort of disappointing to look at it after having real maps in Sims 1-2- and 3.

Some of us keep all the worlds local. Some of us choose to play them as if they're all spread out in different parts of the U.S. or the world. It all depends on the player, so there's no right or wrong answer.
I think of Forgotten Hollow as part of the Salem, Massachusetts Historic Trail - it looks like that area where many of the historic houses are and all. The House of 7 Gables - the ancient church and Witch Museum, etc.

Since C&D and Jungle Adventures I'm not sure where my view of the world stands. I guess I would say that Brindleton Bay is between Widenburg and Willow Creek and all three lying on the coast. Oasis Spring was always so hard to place it is so drastically different from all the other world but since we now have Salvadorada I think Salvadorada is west maybe even south of Willcreek as their is a lot of swamplands in Willow Creek and they could eventually lead into the jungle. This could mean that Oasis Spring is off of Salvadorada but way off. This however is mainly due to the fact that both are hotter then all the other worlds.
This is exactly how I picture them and play. My family currently lives in Brindleton Bay and all of the community lots are just minutes away. A trip to a nightclub or bar or fancy restaurant requires more time for travel to San Myshuno. For me all loading screens are not equal.
I imagine my Sims' universe in a similar way. San Myshuno is the hub with the other worlds being suburbs or towns in a more or less the same part of the country (West Coast).
Some day, I hope that the game will get an older city that more resembles NY or Boston. Take some of the glitz and the shine off of everything.
@AquaGamer1212 Thanks.
To me, the worlds are different enough that they required some explanation and organization, for story purposes. If I'd been using the game for impromptu play, I doubt that I would have bothered to think about how the worlds relate to each other.
The only issue is that, sometimes, Sims from worlds that are supposed to be farther away, they stroll through town and photo bomb the screenshots. Thank goodness for MCCC, Sims get banished a lot.
Same I never imagined Forgotten Hollow as anything but American. Doesn't strike me as European at all
