Am I the only one who doesn't mind no open world in sims 4?

I really think it will improve the performance of the game in general. I'm actually looking forward to it. One small loading screen isn't going to kill anybody.
In the end, you'll get a better game experience because of those loading screens. I'm kinda growing tired of white textures while The Sims 3 loads and I don't like rabbit holes :D Can't wait for september!
