Open world=Lag

The open world and create a style is part of the reason why sims 3 lagged so much.

partly true, IMHO it really depended on how well your system was equipped and the reason I say this is because I have four high end systems and I played on all four and I never experienced lag from the open world or CAST. If there was any lag it was in China and IP which there is known problems with those EPs. I would suspect that low end and even some mid range computers to suffer some lag. Everybody's computers are not the same and configured different therefore different experiences. Heck even in Sims 4 with no open world some are still experiencing lag and long loading times so while there was some improvement some problems still exist. and will continue to exist looking at the nature of the program. Sims 4 is a dumbed down Sims game that cannot fully use my systems specs because it is geared to lower end machines and it is not a technical juggernaut. it is also one of the reasons that Sims 4 is not a GOTY material and EA/Maxis is not promoting heavily. Even with dedicated supporters it will not be enough how well the upcoming EPs interact with the base will remain to be seen.
