Open Neighborhood Rather than Open World
In TS3 the entire world was open and i think this contributed to difficulty running the game. In TS4 the active lot and a portion of the neighborhood within the world is open. I'm not sure if this can...

How do you know the backdrop sacrifices gameplay? And everything added to the game sacrifices SOMETHING. If the developers decided to add in seasons, they are using those resources that could have been spent on preteens or something else, so that would be sacrificed. And the whole point of BACKDROPS is that YOU CANNOT GO IN THEM. IT IS FOR SCENERY AND FOR LOOKS. Would you rather have just a blank, white backdrop?
Why are you shouting? :|
I've already explained about backdrops and that it wouldn't bother me when I play closed world games if my sims have no back drop around them.
We aren't talking about seasons or preteens. It's my opinion that I would rather have a more interactive world than a world that is more set dressing than playable. That's all."MidnightAura;c-16022139" wrote:"FloppyFish;c-16022126" wrote:

Great. So lets have some white space in the background of our worlds.
TS3 has backdrops you place them yourself while in CAW. They are moutains etc. at a far distance once you have routed the world to where Sims can travel. They are layers upon a layer to hide all that white backdrop and to hide where the world's edge ends etc. The difference in that and TS4 is these are right next to your Sim's house...how about more space for played lots, and a lot less backdrop and if any backdrop then at a greater distance away from your Sims.
