I want open neighborhoods so badly
I just want open neighborhoods so badly. I think that would make the game so much more fun and feel so alive since I could visit neighbors quickly or go to the park and get ice cream or to the local c...

And hey, we all thought terrain tools were out of the question for ts4, no?
Did they ever explicitly say they were not adding terrain tools? I don’t recall them ever saying this. Terrain tools have never interested me so I was never checking for it like that tbh.
But I have seen them state numerous times that they are not making The Sims 4 open world.
Early after the game came out and they used to have all those Q & A with the devs we had a lot of conversations with many of the engineers and programmers and it was mentioned during that time the game as it was not capable of player terrain editing - as folks were asking for pond water tools, cellars, and terrain tools. I just remember they had said even pools were an issue at that time and then like 2 weeks later it was announced pools were coming in a free update. Leaving some of us saying - What?! You guys just said.... so then people again figured then we are get pond tools and terrain tools too. They said no, just pools. Also when we suddenly got cellars people were aghast too, as those were supposedly not possible either - but then we had them.
If you recall many of those Q & A got less and less after that and even when we had a few more I don't recall the engineers etc coming to the forum - it was mostly those working on Stuff packs that started showing up the most after that. We got their fav answer - we can't talk about future content more than anything after that it seems.
I have a feeling there was a lot of overhauling going on with the game engine and overall system during all this time to make all those things happen and why it sometimes looked like ep were slighted. They were technically working their behinds off, had to have been, to bring this game from that state to this one during development of the game even - but they probably were not allowed to share that. Of course I don't know that for a fact - but just seeing what it is capable of now compared to then sort of speaks for itself.
