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.
Yep.
In addition to what you've already said, from a storytelling point of view, current 'worlds' don't even come close to the mark.
In TS3, I had a stay at home Mom that used to drop off and pick up her kids from school every day. Those things are not possible with this version of the game because those places do not exist. Options don't exist.
I'd prefer real venues. However, if I'm only given a choice between rabbit hole buildings and nothing at all, I'll choose the rabbit holes.
