S4 would have been perfect in my eyes if they hadn't reverted to putting us back into boxes. You can't do something like S3 did and give us open worlds and then just do away with it. I love S4. It's the first time I adored the artistic style. I absolutely love emotions and multi-tasking and how it creates sims who don't feel like robots. However, when you give a player tools like Create-a-Style and terrain editing found in 3 and then leave it out for the sequel, that doesn't feel intuitive.

For these reasons, I'm really hesitant when it comes to how long I want S4 to last. I like it, but it has major faults that I'd want to see corrected in S5 sooner rather than later, but if they do a half baked job and strip out emotions and multi-tasking, then I'd rather just keep playing S4 and hope it goes on for many more years.

I never liked the open world. I just felt there was more to look at rather than do. Only really thing you could do was collect stuff, most of the lots were rabbit holes and just for show.

San Myshuno and Bridleton Bay have both been adding unique things like festivals, food stands, merchants, lighthouses, musicians, performers etc and that's the kind of thing I hope becomes standard for the worlds. I actually really like that.

I completely disagree. There's always so much going on in my TS3 games because of the open world. In TS4 sims are constantly doing the same scripted things over and over. With open world they have the freedom to do almost anything. They have actual lives unlike in TS4. I get that some people have issues with story progression on TS3 but I love it though sometimes funny things to happen. I hope TS5 if it ever comes to bear has open world. I also hate the closeness of the worlds in TS4. The illusion of open world with the ugly 2D props kills me.
