Let Sims Travel Alone

Sims can go off to work without my help. That's great.

It is not possible, though, to send a few sims from the household out to the lounge or park, etc without a loading screen. So, if my parents want a little alone time, I can't send the kids to the park and then switch back to the parents without two loading screens. I don't think this is my issue alone, as others have stated they have been unable to do it. I'd like to see a "Send Sim" option in addition to a "Travel" option where I go along with my sims. Or, like with GTW work - set them to travel and then get the option to Join or Send Alone.

Please, share your feedback on this.

    You could just leave the kids home and they could do stuff there. You won't be controlling them directly either way.

    Its one draw back of not having open worlds like in the Sims 3 that you can't switch back and fourth between sims on the fly without waiting.


    And that is what I usually do. The kids were just an example, though. There are still a lot of other circumstances where it would be nice to send a sim out of the house without having to deal with a loading screen. Like, sending them to visit family in another lot across town so I know they're possibly building relationships with the other family, etc. Or sending the adults out, or any number of other scenarios.

    Yes, I can just do that but I would like to have this other option, also. :smile:
  • Maybe they should work on trying to make all the neighbourhoods intertwine to make an open world, it wouldn't be as large a town as The Sims 3 but at least there'll be less work and more people happy.
