The Sims 4 has come so far when it comes to the content. From Vampires to Snowy Escape. Preferences to Trait Improvements, We cannot deny how the game is Improving. However no matter how many improvements they can make there is the Open world feature that they cannot be put in the game.
With the Improvements that The Sims 4 has made for six years, is open world still essential for you?

Other than that, I would be happy if it was just open districts so we could visit next door without a loading screen.

The poll should be for those who at least played to the Sims3. If you only played the Sims4, then you have no clue what you have missed or what open world can do for gameplay.
I agree with the immersion part as loading screens regardless if it supposely cuts down on lag it messes with my flow especially if it happens frequently.
I'd rather have the loading screen than watch for my Sim to drive a car or use some other mode of transport to the other side of the city.
Loading screens have never bothered me, not even when they used to last a long time on my old laptop.
but i would like to have waters swimmable and ability to add/delete objects that are off lot in my neighborhoods even if that means separate neighborhood edit mode or something
multiple venues on one lot would be neat too like i can do it but sometimes it won't really function how i planned

Because I can't; I keep all sigs turned off.
1) the randomness of the npcs from all the worlds. If the walk bys were always from the current world + ocassional sim from other world with a tourist sign over their head it would help with the immersion.
2) that there are no car pools, school buses and the sim travelling from lot to lot is just an instant disappearance...
I admit open world of TS3 was amazing, I loved to travel with my sim to work and watch the neighbourhood unfold, but I still play sims 3 too, so I can live without it in TS4.

Computer CPUs are faster now so TS3 community lots are a lot more crowded. Moreover, the whole open world is just teeming with activity even outside of lots. I really love it!
In TS3, cars aren't the only mode of transport. If you want fast, teleport level of transportation and still not have loading screens, there are a variety of ways to do this:
So not only are these issues no longer a problem in The Sims 3, it still doesn't have loading screens interrupting game play.
You can actually have more than one venue on a lot in TS3.
You should give TS3 a try again. We'll help you in the TS3 section of this forum! It's really fun and you can do more with it than you can with TS4 or even TS2 and TS1.
I also liked being able to see what was going on in the rest of the town. It would usually give me ideas for other things to do.
You would see a sim in a park, or arriving home, and you would suddenly be on an unexpected new path of game play.
The world doesn't need to be 100+ lots available to you, but I would at least like to see districts of 15-20 lots.
Basically ALL the lots open in a World like Willocreek or Windenburg.
The loading time at the beginning isn't that long anymore if you have a newer computer or even an SSD on an old computer.
I remember when I had my old computer, that while the game loaded at the beginning, I would set things up around my computer to get comfortable and settle in for a long session of playing TS3:
It had become some kind of ritual that there is actually a discussion thread in The Sims 3 section about what people do while the game is loading, lol!
If you want one sim to visit another lot then you have very little control of what the others are doing, which is fine if you don't want to play them I guess but if you want them to for example go to sleep at night you can't even tell them to do that so often when you get home the sims are sitting and watching tv at 03:00 AM and they have not done anything while you were away on another lot.
oh ive gone back too and such most recently few months ago I tried playing some and posted it
but I just don't really vibe with ts3 for some reason it just feels choreful for me after a bit so I don't really stay playing for eternity
