Windenburg

Windenburg is a world introduced in The Sims 4: Get Together. It is the largest world ever released in The Sims 4. It's comprised of a countryside area in the mainland, an older styled quaint village, a modern shore side and an island. Castle-like ruins can be found on the mainland and most of The Crumbling Isle is surrounded by crumbling man-made walls. These ruins are inspired by Gothic buildings in Europe (primarily Germany and Denmark) and they indicate the old age of the city.
At 26 housed residents when beginning a save file there, it is the most populated world in The Sims 4.

==Trivia==
* Windenburg appears to be based on central and southern regions of Germany, where there are many fachwerkhaus style (traditional timber-framed) houses. The world's name also appears to be German – "Winden" could refer to wind (Wind) or morning glory (Winde), and Burg is German for "castle". This etymology could easily tie in with the castle ruins in the Crumbling Isle and the Ancient Ruins. It is also very similar to the name of the notable German airship, Hindenburg.
* A very similar neighborhood was originally designed for The Sims 4 base game, but was ultimately unreleased.
* Windenburg is an unusually large world, in several ways. With 27 lots, it has more than any other world in The Sims 4 (or almost any, depending on how one counts the apartments in San Myshuno). Two of Windenburg's lots measure 64x64, making it the first world to have more than one lot of this size. Windenburg ties with San Myshuno and Brindleton Bay for the second-highest number of neighborhoods – four – beat only by Willow Creek's and Oasis Springs' six neighborhoods each. Finally, three special lots give Windenburg more than any other world, though Magnolia Promenade, Mt. Komorebi, and Selvadorada each have three secret lots.
* Many residents' names are Germanic (e.g. Ulrike Faust, Gunther and Wolfgang Munch) or Scandinavian (e.g. Bjorn and Elsa Bjergsen, Maaike Haas). However, other residents have names from a variety of other places in Western Europe, and the Behrs' design suggests recent Japanese ancestry. Altogether, Windenburg seems to have a relatively cosmopolitan population.
* Old Country is mentioned in Windenburg, which might suggest the town is part of the Old Country.
* Windenburg is the only world in The Sims 4 to include a public pool.
* According to the description of the wind chimes object from The Sims 4: Backyard Stuff, Windenburg has a sister city called Windemere.
