UPDATE: It has been brought to my attention by several other Game Changers who attended the special live stream event that EA never confirmed that they are working on updating other worlds, but instead said they wouldn’t “close the door” on it.

Additionally, Polish fansite DotSim released a mega post article detailing this portion of the stream, and they too are confirming the same as above. Below is a translated quote from SimGuruJill who hosted this special live stream.

“We talked a lot about it before. We are not closing the option of upgrading existing worlds, nor are we closing ourselves to adding ocean swimming in future worlds, but at this moment we had to focus on creating this option in The Sims 4 Island life – said SimGuruJill during the closed show.”
