The Sims 4: Windenburg Overview
Windenburg is one of the most beautiful worlds in The Sims 4 and was added to the game with The Sims 4: Get Together. This world is inspired by the south of Germany and has other beautiful European accents.
“Take ye olde deep breath and enjoy the mountain air. This green, expansive playground has got it all; lush countryside, serene and rocky cliffs, a quaint village with remnants of the old world all nestled around the modern shore side business center.“
Windenburg was the very first new world to be introduced into the game through an expansion pack with Get Together. It’s also one of the biggest worlds that is in the game, with the large number of lots available for gameplay.
Windenburg Neighbourhoods
There are 4 neighbourhoods inside Windenburg and each has their own style and quirks. Let’s go into some of the features of each neighbourhood in detail.
The Island
The island is the most self explanatory of the windenburg neighbourhoods, as it is, an island. There are 6 lots on the island, including the bluffs which is a weird lot that has a pool and a ton of greenery.
There is one empty lot on The Island, called Mid-Nowhere and it is a 20×20 lot available for purchase. There is also an empty house called Pier Palace that is a beautiful modern home.

Windenburg Families
Bjergsen Household
“Teen musical prodigy Sofia has dreams — she’s going to make it big. Not even her gloomy dad, perfectionist mom, or pesky genius kid sister can stop her from making her way to the top!“
Fryes Household
“Things couldn’t be better between lovebirds Dominic and Moira — too bad the same can’t be said for their daughters! Free spirit Morgan just wants to have fun with her Renegade friends, but Siobhan can’t stand that attitude. Siobhan is determined to build a network of popular friends who can help her career aspirations. Will Siobhan move out on her own before the tension in the house explodes?“
Bro Household
“Tech-savvy hunk Sergio and brash DJ Joaquin have little in common… except for the finer things in life. As they climb the ranks and rake in the bucks, just how awesome can they make their sweet pad?“
Partihaus Household
“Drink, flirt, dance, repeat. Jade, Eva, and Paolo jumped at the opportunity to explore the world and set up the ultimate crib in Windenburg as soon as Marcus extended the invite. And the party hasn’t stopped since. Drama is never far behind when they’re together – and they’re always together! With only one and a half jobs between the four of them, how in the world do they manage to pay their bills?“
Villareal Household
“After Jacques’ wife disappeared under… ahem, mysterious circumstances, he was left raising three kids in his enormous mansion. Luna and Hugo are good kids with typical teen problems, but the youngest, Max, is a terrifying force of nature. Will the kids drive Jacques crazy before his eccentric habits and hobbies drive them crazy?“
Munch Household
“Raising three kids is never easy — particularly when one refuses to move out of the house, and one is a gloomy rebel. But Mila Munch is nothing if not dedicated to her family, and her sweet little Lucas always cheers her up after a hard day of restaurant work.”
Free Spirits Household
“Bookish Maaike, and artsy Ulrike aren’t materialistic, but even these two roommates admit they could use a few upgrades around the house. Will Maaike be able to sell a few stories, or will Ulrike finally put out a painting that meets her exacting standards?“
Behr Household
“Yuki and Candy recently inherited a quaint, modest home from their dearly departed Grandma Behr. Geeky teen Yuki absolutely idolizes her cool DJ sister, Candy, but Yuki’s got some mad skills of her own. Sure, she may not be the edgy Spinmaster Candy is, but she can annihilate anyone at Blicblock. She’s also quickly becoming Windenburg’s most infamous underground hacker.“

Final Thoughts
Windenburg is one of the most beautiful worlds in The Sims 4, and we can thank the sims team for that. I really hope that the rest of the sims expansion packs will have worlds that are this in depth and detailed.
