Is there an open world template that I can start with?

Sorry, I am brand new! I was wondering if everything needs to be made from scratch or if there are (landscape)/world templates that we can start with and mold them to our vision?

P.S. I am sorry if this question is stupid!

It depends what do you mean by “template”.

Unreal comes with a build-in tool for molding terrains (which is very powerful), you can start exploring it here: Creating Landscapes | Unreal Engine Documentation
Otherwise you can check some external tool to generate terrains (e.g. World Machine [http://www.world-machine.com ]), and finish to tweak them with the above-mentioned tool.

If you mean some assets that you can use as well as having an idea about how to build an open world, you can start having a look here (it’s free): Open World Demo Collection in Epic Content - UE Marketplace
In a similar fashion, you can find many other pre-made terrains on the marketplace, which you can tweak as per your needs.

If you are looking for something more procedural ready-to-use, you can do a search on the marketplace here: Content Search - UE Marketplace

Hope this helps.
