But if rabitholes were removed, why are there no shopping, or lots for schools and careers? (Side point, the careers in game are stupid, there is like 1 or 2 normal ones. The rest are a fantasy-sized mess) Like I said I get TS3 was a mess on certain levels but, instead of fixing them they took the lazy way out and removed it. I'm certain in 2014 it is possible to have an open world that is lively in well functioning. CASt was an awesome tool that I already miss. It doesn't make sense that we have to go back to the days where we downloaded tons off CC just for recolors let alone actual new meshes and items.
When a game called The Sims 3 focused on everything BUT The Sims themselves.
Something ain't right.
May I remind you that babies in the Sims 4 were HEADS. They had no body and lacked any major interaction apart from "be left on ground" unless you bought Generations. You could barely do anything with them.
The rabbit holes are removed so we can actual community lots again. You know, like how we're supposed to have them? So I can design my own shops and restaurants? You know something that takes up 1/4 of a Sims series is building community lots. And The Sims 3 had the bare minimum.
The worlds in The Sims 4 will end up adding to the biggest world The Sims series has seen.
It's possible that with all the EA, plus custom worlds we will most likely have, we could potentially have over 500, even a thousand lots to choose from within one saved game.
EA have ditched having "one world per save" and we are now building towards a bigger world. Every time you buy a world or download one from CC websites, they add to your game. Not replace it. Thats a huge advancement.

Also I dare you to play the Sims 2 and then go back to The Sims 3. The Sims are like genetic robots and have barely any personality at all compared to The Sims 2 sims.

I get that they rushed some elements like Pools, Toddlers and Terrain tools, but the Sims 3 lacked SO much yet because it had "Open World" and CASt!!!" everyone's blinded.
The Sims 4 had a lot more potential that it didn't live up to, and it's a disappointment.
But when most people can't even play the Sims 3, for starters, and then you look at how much they took out of The Sims core features to replace them with rabbit holes, robotic sims, and a glitchy open world, it's time to realise the Sims 3 isn't all "that" either.
Which twitter Simguru are you ? I hope EA pays u for TS4 promo.
Shopping, Cafe's and Restaurants are all coming. We've already seen some more of the Community lots we will be getting. We also get Nightclubs and Bars in the base game.
Careers as building was removed because these issues kept happening where you'd be locked out of the lot because Sims who were trying to get to work in bigger worlds, got stuck.
It was okay in normal size worlds, but it would mean bigger custom worlds would have this issue.
More Sims than I've ever seen at a TS3 public space. And that's only because of a glitch

I'm an average person and don't know this computer ****.
Wasn't there a site that told you if your PC was compatible?
I can't believe it only took them like five seconds to save their game When they said they were going to save I was prepared to be waiting for like ten minutes like TS3 but nope
Also I don't think there is any load at all when you start up the game, just like the CAS demo. Such a step up
Ugh!
