Open world totally breaks immersion for sure

The thing with rabbitholes is, that I've played entire generations where my sim hardly entered any. Yes they went to school (but that's a rabbithole in Sims 2 and 4 as well) and yes they got their diploma in the city hall. But after that? My ghost hunter didn't work in a rabbithole, nor did my inventor. My unemployed adventurer spent a lot of time in open tombs and once he became a magician I could constantly follow him as well. Another adventurer was a painter who sold his paintings in the local consignment shop (open). My sims just are way more often outside rabbitholes, not needing them, than inside. And when I do play a sim who has a rabbithole job, there's almost always a partner who doesn't.

I do understand it was disappointing restaurants and shops were rabbitholes, after Sims 2 where they had been fleshed out EP features. But that's really all there is to it. It has nothing to do with open world and Sims 3 is much more than rabbitholes.
