The alternative to rabbit holes usually is to just let them go to work off screen. Would you really prefer that?
I would. I really don't understand the point of rabbit hole buildings. If the Sim is just going off screen anyway, why waste time having them walk to a place that is just wasting space in the neighborhood anyway? Just let them go away at home and I'll get on with the rest of the household and put a useable venue in that building space. I just don't get the appeal. But I will say that I prefer the Sims 2 method over Sims 4 (and 3) because at least the Sims got into a car and drove off the lot, and I did like how the car got upgraded as they advanced in their career. It was a nice touch.
The appeal is I guess what makes people open world fans or not: the feeling your sim is actually part of a world. For me it matters whether my kids go to school in Dragon Valley or in Sunlit Tides, because I have an image of the building they are going to. Which is why I hate the rabbit holes in Lunar Lakes (though I understand the idea): they are all identical (and therefore as dead to me as no building). Space of course is no problem in Sims 3, you can throw in lots everywhere if you feel you need more than what you got. And you don’t waste any time, working time or school time starts at the moment your sim steps into the vehicle that takes them there, exactly like in Sims 2.
