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...

What is wrong with pretty backdrops being A focus though? If backdrops are impressive, people will be talking about them, lol. It is just, some people say, "NO BACKDROPS" and all of that nonsense.
Well like I said in my last post. Wouldn't you rather go to the beach than see it? It's not necessarily the backdrop, it's the fact that we still can't go there. Which leads to another question that would eventually arise, "Why isn't there a beach yet?" and then other questions arise. and the simmer comes to the conclusion of "If they can paint it? Are they at least looking into putting it in the actual game?"
So It's not a "No backdrops", I just think some of us would simply like to go to those pretty places they paint. Honestly I've never really been excited for a backdrop, it's cute but it doesn't really get me excited. But I'm more interested in if/when they actually put those things in the game.
Like that pretty place on the side of willow creek that we can't go to (by the fairies)....or those 'other houses we can't use. Like I said it's cute and it does make the neighborhood look fuller, but in all honesty I could have actually used those lots for more of my families if those lots were real :cry: .
That's just my little view on it though. So in a way, even though the backdrops are nice, I'd rather it not be the "full" focus because I'd also like to go to some of those places (in some way).
But that is the whole point of backdrops.. YOU CAN'T VISIT THEM. They are for scenery purposes. If you could GO TO THE BACKDROPS, what would be behind them? Just white space. Do you really want that?
I don't think you fully understand what I'm exactly explaining. Like I said, time after time in that exact post. It's not the backdrops the simmers feel sad about. It's the overall serious focus on them. The same amount of focus they could have had on making an actual beach lot.
Like I said in my post, we still don't have beaches where we can go to. There's not many lots for housing (newcrest helped but even by now most of the lots for simmers are full) and we can't customize those choices. Yet it feels like they use the backdrops as "full" fillers for those things.
