and hunty, that's straight from Sims VIP.
Just accept it, it's not an open world.
edit: wait, you can walk around the streets as long as you don't enter a different lot, so I give you that, hunty.
Which is no different to Sims 3
On the Sims 3 you could enter public spaces without loading screens.
If you wanted to enter another lot, you'd hit a loading/processing wait time which varied on the size of the house/lot. Sometimes it took 2 seconds, sometimes 30.
The Sims 4 is no less open world than The Sims 3. Just the worlds are smaller to allow more activity between them.
I played again today and I'll probably play more.
He got he's Fine Arts degree and kept on bonding with the plantsim who became he's boyfriend but than broke up after I made Erich cheat on him
He got back to his home in Bridgeport
and he adopted two kittens
He also got loads of new skills (writing, painting, photography, street art...)
Aww it's funny cause in my game he was born to gay parents due the surrogate thing. That's so cute! Why did you make him cheat?
They're adding a premium membership to the sims now

"The Sims 4 Premium. Save on new packs with early access and exclusive items. Become a Premium member to get early access to three new packs, with exclusive items. Your Sims can throw a spooky costume party, camp in the great outdoors, and toast to the new year in style."
You could teleport anywhere in TS3 worlds so yes Ts4 world is ****ing closed
Fixed it sis.
The Sims 3 only had one world per loading screen. The same goes for Sims 4.
The Sims 4 has open worlds. They are just smaller to allow more content. I don't understand how people think that the size of the world indicates if it's open or not
So basically an early access to DLC, Games4theWorld and Mod The Sims will have those for free so...

The difference is that you could freely walk and drive. Loading screens feel like an abrupt bump rather that a fluent movement.
The Sims 3 had an open world, this one doesn't.
End of discussion.

Lol. The Sims 3 had open world with more than 25 lots. The Sims 4 īs "open world" consist of 5 lots. Oh what a world.
I don't care if it isn't open world, I'd rather fun, interesting and rich gameplay at the sake of a few load screens than having an open world where nothing happens

No. If you went from lot to lot in TS3 you did not see a loading screen. In TS4 you do. Even in the same neighborhood.

You can freely roam in this one too
You can literally walk from your house to the public spaces and it's one continuous experience.
If your Sim has the ability to walk from their lot, and roam the neighbourhood (lots are not the only thing in The Sims 4 fyi) than that is open world. Closed world is where you are confined to one space.
The Sims 4 isn't as open as The Sims 3, but they are both open.
Because if you want to be technical, an open-world map means everything that is visible is accessible. The Sims 3 has various locations that cannot be reached, but can be seen. Which actually means it's closed.
But the Sims definition of "open world" is seamlessly travelling from one area to another without a loading screen. And The Sims 4 does that. It just doesn't have the same amount of open-world features.

25 lots with only 3 Sims on each one at once. The problem with the world being so big in The Sims 3 was the fact to have it that big, meant removing what was in it. Which was the Sims themselves.
I mean checkout the videos below. You literally had the Sims you brought and maybe one or two more others.
I mean, in The Sims 4 they had like more than 5+ Sims at the BBQ alone. There was literally about 30+ Sims in the park, and new Sims appear every time you look around. So yeah, what a world. It has more than two other people.

You experienced a loading time though. Only for like 5 seconds, but we don't know how long the loading time is for Sims 4 either. It might be around the same.
Loading neighbourhoods took only 20 seconds. So loading a lot will probably be less.
To load the neighbourhood in The Sims 3 it would take like 5 minutes +
