Partial Open Worlds

Back in 2014 when Sims 4 was brand new to us, we understood that the game would not be open world for the sake of Simmers with lower-end running computers that can't load everything, otherwise it would cause them problems.

Today, in 2019, I have an idea for that. (And if this has been discussed already, I apologize)

I honestly wish there was an update or feature where Sims 4 was partially open world. What I mean is, whatever "zone" or "neighborhood" you're playing in, surrounding lots are open too and ready to be interacted with, so when you visit, there's no loading page, just like Sims 3. Just boom there, done. Let's do stuff. But when you're going to a new zone/neighborhood, there is. I just hate constant loading screen after loading screen whenever my Sim travels :/ There will also be an option to opt out of this feature, especially if you have a low-end rig.

    You're not alone with this idea, but I'm afraid it has been confirmed this will not be added to the Sims 4. Maybe a future sims game?
  • it would be good if at the very least we'd be able to visit lots within our own neighborhood or apartment without the loading screens.

    I wonder if anyones done a mod for it yet :\
  • I also hate all the loading screens - would be so awesome and an actual improvement to have open neighborhoods.
