Better World Select brings a complete overhaul with a brand-new UI, giving you full control to customize the World Selection screen exactly to your liking.

Every feature is optional and can be easily toggled through a new in-game settings menu, so you can tailor the experience to fit your playstyle perfectly.

ANIMATED CLOUDS UPDATE:

Better World Select: Animated Clouds update (version 2.1) brings a brand-new visual effect to The Sims 4, making the in-game world maps livelier than ever before!

Worth knowing: You can use Animated Clouds with any custom map overrides!

This update also brings quality of life improvements to the Better World Select mod.

Custom world order is now saved per save, allowing you to create a perfect setup for each individual gameplay.

The Preset Manager allows you to save and load your customized combinations for quicker setup in new and existing saves.

MAIN FEATURES:

Fully Adjustable In-Game UI: Every feature is a toggleable option within a new settings menu, right in the game! No more choosing between different files — just turn on the features you want.
Brand-New World Editor: A new editor screen lets you easily reorder worlds using drag-and-drop and hide any world from the list by simply clicking the checkmark next to its name.
Prioritize Played Households: Automatically sort worlds with your active families to the top of the list.
Resize the Worlds Grid: Adjust the size of the world grid using the + and - buttons in the new in-game UI.
Always-Visible World Names: An optional option to make world names permanently visible instead of only on hover.
Adjustable Tooltip Style: Choose whether you see the standard description or the vacation world description in tooltips.
Auto-Hide Unowned Worlds: Worlds from packs you don’t own are no longer shown, creating a cleaner view.

HOW TO USE:

To access the new settings menu and configure the World Selection screen, you must be in Manage Households or Move mode. The configuration options are not available when traveling.

HOW TO INSTALL:

There is now only one package file.

Place the SimMattically_BetterWorldSelect_v*.package file in your Mods folder.

CONFLICTS:

This is a UI mod, so it will conflict with other mods that modify the World Selection screen visuals.

What about UI recolors?

That depends on the creator, but you can usually use both if my mod loads first. Visual inconsistencies might happen depending on the recolor, but functionality should be fine.

🚨 IMPORTANT: To ensure compatibility, make sure my mod loads before any UI recolor mods.
