Open world totally breaks immersion for sure

Sarcasm aside, if the sims 5 (that's if it's ever made) brings back open world, would you want a new and improved sims 3 open world or do you want a semi-open world instead?

I know I'm going to earn some zagadoos for this. What I'd like is if s5 has somewhat open world like Skyrim. Like there would a huge land mass that is completely opened, world designers could build anything want mountains, forests, fields, sometimes you'd see random sims just wondering around in the world. Then there would be regions that would require a loading screen. These could be urban areas, tropical beachy areas, or quaint rural towns etc. everything by the buildings would be open, here you'd see plenty of sims just walking around doing there own thing. If you want to go into a building then that's going to require another loading screen. Let's say you're just walking through the city, you might see a mountain in the distance, if you leave that region you could actually walk to that mountain.

The reason I'd like things this way is because I think it's a good compromise between what would function well and what would make the game the most realistic.

I like that idea, with Skyrim. LOL When I do play the game (hasn't been since last December, 'cause I'm hate those giant spiders), I couldn't help but wish the whole world was open. I like moving in and out of a store or any building without a load screen. I've slowly been building the current world I'm in "workable" stores with a rug hidden on the lot. So I can see my sims shopping for items, or inside the school and hospital, etc. But that's just my personal preference. It think with the technology we have today, and technology to come, there is no excuse for EA and Maxis not to deliver on a spectacular open world for Sims 5. Unless they still with their current course, if it's not cheap and easy it's to hard to do. :(

By the way, I have you an "insightful" because it really was. :)
