If you don’t want the Sims5 don’t post it in this thread it’s not a I want The Sims5 thread
How do you think the worlds in the Sims 5 will work
Personally I think we will have 1 world at launch but this will be BIG and cut up into districts so you will have downtown That will have clubs bars and apartments an inner city upscale living District and a Suburban district with mid sized homes and some small food or comic book shops this will all be connected by a bus/subway system with transport hubs but as soon as you get on the train you get a loaded screen this will be to give us more alive worlds we will also have a national park for walks and stuff (camping comes in a full EP this time).
That’s how I see the worlds working what do you think?

Maybe open world sections, town area, suberb area, country area, and you could go anywhere in these sections. But sims 3 needed a bigger engine, it couldn't hold enough.
I'm really hoping TS5 will be 100% open world. The problem with TS3 was that it wasn't 64-bit. It was only 32-bit and therefore could only use 2gb of RAM. Even if it was extended, it can only access 3gb.
I'm pretty sure though that TS5 will be 64-bit so it would be very capable of running a 100% open world better than TS3 can.
I never played TS3, but in large part it's also going to depend on what sort of texture, model, and lighting upgrades TS5 includes. Higher quality textures and higher density meshes will put more of a strain on the system, even at 64-bit. I don't expect they'll go too high, because it is a video game and they don't need to go photo-real (and probably shouldn't) But it will be a factor.
From what I've seen, as long as going open neighborhood or Open world allows for multiple worlds that can be visited as easily as they are in TS4 (so no mods fiddling with code) and that aren't horribly empty - Windenberg already feels pretty empty even now unless you're actually in the active venue - I wouldn't have a problem with it. I think open neighborhoods are more likely than open worlds, which seems to be a nice "middle of the road" between the two.
In terms of open neighborhoods, that would still be too many loading screens. I would really want working vehicles to be part of the game and also include boats and windsurfing, water-skiing (which work well in an 100% open world - just look at my sim windsurfing in my profile pic). Part of the reasons why people love TS3 is for the ability to travel around the open world and visit any lot unencumbered/uninterrupted by loading screens. It makes for smooth and immersive gameplay.
I play TS3 now on my old 2014 computer which only has 4gb RAM and an integrated (meaning it shares memory with my computer - not dedicated like the better graphics cards) Intel graphics card and the open worlds it has runs fine and the graphics are good. Other TS3 simmers who have much newer, more powerful computers and graphics cards have posted that their TS3 games work better, including the loading time at the beginning being vastly reduced. So I know that if TS5 is developed in 64-bit to run in the new computers out now, a 100% open world system that runs well, with shorter loading time at the beginning and optimization is quite possible.
Alex Masse, the developer for Paralives is setting the game up to be 100% open world because that's what most people have been asking for. If he believes he can do that, why not Maxis?
I hope it comes with a beach and a large waterfall like Stoney Falls in TS3.
True very true.
A lot of what type of worlds it will be depends on what type of Game Engine TS5 has.
But the worlds in TS4 are so small! In TS3, the worlds are huge. The reason why we didn't need to go world hopping is that we can put everything in one world. There are a lot of free fan made worlds that has everything in them. And all this without loading screens. Also if someone really wants to play world hopping they can do that with the Traveler so they won't have to stick with just one world.
TS3 is the only open world game out of the entire The Sims series. I really want TS5 to be 100% open world. If you love loading screens so much, then just stick with TS4 or TS2 or TS1.
Actually TS3 added active versions of a lot of its rabbitholes in later EPs, SPs and the Sims 3 Store. And Zerbu made his amazing Ultimate Careers mod to many any career active. But anyway, I really hope TS5 will have both rabbitholes and active lot versions like in TS3, especially if its open world - you will need rabbitholes if you're managing more than one sim in a household.
If TS5 has world hopping, I want the worlds to be huge like in TS3, not TS4. The worlds in TS4 are TINY - you would NEED to world hop because there's not much to see and do in each world and gets boring real fast. Anyway, I want the entire worlds in TS5 to be fully explorable like in TS3 and not just uneditable backdrops like TS4. I want the bodies of water to be fully swim-able like in TS3. I want vehicles/boats without running into loading screens like in TS3.
I would also like a built in CAW type so you can make changes and edits as you want. You should be able to chose your own lot sizes and places them where you want as well. This way players don't have to keep waiting for certain types of worlds to be released and can make changes as and when they want
No, all those things came later. The open venues were only the library and the museum, and a park. Open venues had to be handled later in LN, not before.
Yes, the base game had a library, a museum, a park, a beach and an academy. But 4 base game also had only 4 open venues... so what i think is that both were very similar in what concerns to rabbit holes...
However, I think we might get a neighbourhood to play off line and if you want the whole world, it will be online and behind a monthly fee. You also will not be able to change or customize this world and what you can do in your own personal neighbourhood will be limited to make room or "force" you to go online for a "better" experience. I hope I'm wrong about this.
I've only played Sims 3 for Xbox, but that sounds incredibly frustrating.
There's no need to be so rude, my goodness! I'm well aware that the worlds in TS4 are small and would be better if they were editable as they were in TS2/3, but the fact still remains that I like being able to hop worlds. It makes logical sense to be able to world hop, because people move to different cities than the ones they grew up in. Sticking in one world got old really fast and I hated that, if you wanted to move to a new world, all of the relationships my sims built up would be totally erased.
I don't like loading screens, but thanks for assuming things that aren't true of me!
It's just as frustrating being stuck with small "worlds" where you can't edit them or add any custom ones. Playing the same small worlds gets boring too. I just hope in Sims 5 we're able to have open worlds/neighborhoods (real worlds) where we can do all of that and travel to different ones. I also hope that the sims from other worlds don't appear in the one you're currently in. It breaks immersion.
they're a very annoying and irritating person who, regardless of whats going on, will find a way to make it sound like sims 3 is the best game ever, has no flaws, is perfection incarnate, and anyone else who has a different opinion is a brainless idiot.
i just threw them on my ignore after they insulted my intelligence about a week ago, best decision ever.
