I think what I was imagining and hoping for was like TS2’s apartment system where units that weren’t your’s were blacked out and not loaded, and only loaded once you knocked on their door. That way you save resources by only rendering your own active unit, but also avoid loading screens when you want to visit neighbors.
And I’d argue it is fun to check in on multiple sims on multiple lots. That’s why a lot of players loved TS3 Ambitions, they could follow their sims at work, and then when that got boring they could focus on the rest of the household. I myself used to have my household everywhere, with teen sims hanging out at parks, parent sims cooking meals at home, etc. A lot of people actually hated the rabbit holes in TS3. It just makes for smoother gameplay to send a sim somewhere without loading screens.
Same here, this is what i assumed they would be doing also, not reuse a system from another EP. But it is TS4, so I am not surprised I guess. I am surely disappointed, but it hasn't deterred me from wanting the pack, I will just wait to try to get a good deal on it. (Also, yes I am one of the players who loves to play multiple sims on diff lots, so that's a huge downfall for me with this, because I always do it with TS3, and I thought maybe this EP would offer some form of that on the new apt lots.)
