Can be done already, just set up advanced worldgen.

Well, you can't make rivers of magma, but otherwise it is easily doable.

Evilness and Goodness are going to be phased out at some point in favor of sphere-based regions.  And the ability to manipulate those could very well lead to theme worlds.

Spheres include things like war, plants, metals, pregnancy, volcanoes, depravity, fish, chaos, trade...

Honestly though I don't know what regions based around some of those spheres could lead to, practically speaking.

I believe I did say at the beginning that the Advanced World Generation screen makes me feel like I've looked at the Arc of the Covenant.  So maybe another way of phrasing the suggestion would be an easier way to load preset worlds.

I immediately imagined a world called the Histories of Fish and Depravity.
