The true test will come once TS4 is loaded full of CC/DLC and EP/SP content. It only loads so quickly cuz there's nothing dangit in it; it's just the base game. Even TS3 runs faster when you purge it of content. Wait till TS4 starts getting bogged down with content, and those patches start creeping extra crap in -- then see if Loading becomes Lagging. B)
Except that loading screens between active lots, neigbhboroods and worlds will allow players to use their old computers for a long time again, even if they play on very low technical requirements. The fact that EA choose to put so many loading screens in TS4 (while we were used to play in open worlds without any restrictions) means that they want the game to run on a very large computers specifications.. It doesn't mean that we won't have issues or lags, just that we will likely have more flexibility than in TS3..
