Possibly a closed world.

Just perusing through the forums and I notice a few phrases that keep popping up.
"Going back to the roots of the sims" ~meaning, more like 1 and 2, yes?
"More focus on the sims themselves"
Which leads me to believe we'll be back to a closed-world. Which I don't particularly care for, I'd be more pleased with an open world, but it wouldn't stop me from buying it. It didnt bother me in TS1 and TS2

What they are talking about is the humor/life of the first two games
My favorite part about The Sims 3 was the open world... one of the only things I did like about the game actually :roll:
In TS1, we went from living alone to being able to visit other worlds and lots. In TS2, we started out alone, and later on got ability to view other houses in neighborhood and eventually in Apartment Life live with other people, which all resulted in open world concept.
So I don't think it'll go away
Anyway. haha.
Though I do miss the Build a City Challenge.
I just can't imagine having to go back and play each household in rotation to get them the same age again. *shudders*
I'd be pretty dissapointed if there was a closed world.
P.s. your little rainbow llama thing really creeps me, out. lol
going back to roots, i assume, would mean more interactions. making the sims more complex. focusing on the sims themselves. not taking away all the new stuff -.-
That's a Llama? I thought it was a slug creature with teeth LOL.
I hope it's not going to be a closed world, it's one of the few things I really like about Sims 3.
At the same time, going back to a one lot view would be too far.
Ideally, I'd like to see a closed world made of open towns/neighbourhoods.
I agree with this^
Taranatar9,
I'm not sure what you mean and wish you would explain it. But I am sure if they continue the 'open world' then it would just be TS3.2.
And that is not how they do things (in the past), a new game means a new game and may mean nothing at all like TS3..which I hope is true.
Because if the focus is on the open world then it's not on the Sim.
And we see how well gameplay turned out in TS3 due to the limitations of the open world. Which some may not understand the open world is the problem. People aren't really seeing other Sims do anything next door but get into their cars and go to work. If they have a job. SP is horrible in TS3, and I bet those that love it don't play the game without the SP mod installed. So, they aren't really playing TS3's open world and SP they are playing a modder's version of TS3.
ETA: Could the person with the llama siggy please add ears to the llama? they do have ears. I thought it was some kind of worm. And the motion is a little bit like looking at the sea rising and causing sea sickness to some of us.
I honestly couldn't care less about a dynamic town or what's going on on the other side of a neighborhood. I play my Sims up close and I'd prefer better graphics and more interactions/animations instead of watching them run around an open world.
All games have loading screens. They may have tricked you into believing you don't in TS3, but you still spend just as much time waiting as you did in TS2.
Llama? Here all this time I thought it was a Shmoo
I don't think they'll need to take out loads of detail to keep the open neighbourhood. It was a completely new thing for Sims when TS3 came out. But technology has advanced since then, the open neighbourhood has become second nature and they can bring back the detail now.
This is exactly what I think :thumbup: :thumbup: (well, except the city challenge part :P )
