Honestly they are backtracking with The Sims. They are obviously not listening to what the players want. They removed the open world concept because I guess it was too much to load at one time but they didn’t even give us the choice to place empty lots. I’ve played since the sims 2 and by far this is the most restricted sims game I’ve played. It’s quite ridiculous for they money they’re making off of us. The Sims 2 may not have been open world but it still had cars and you could place extra empty lots accommodating to the size you need for placing a new house. And now we can’t even make our own apartments or restructure the ones we have now. We basically paid $40 for an EP that gave us a new world and some festivals. The apartments aren’t even fun when you get to the point where you have to keep reusing the ones you’ve already lived in.
