Which is exactly what my original comment was regarding .... this "open neighborhood" we were told about, is not REALLY open because I can't go inside my neighbor's house without hitting a loading screen, I can't visit retail stores, restaurants, bars, lounges, libraries, pool venues and so on that is IN MY SIM'S NEIGHBORHOOD, sometimes right next door to their house, without hitting a loading screen.
I thought it was going to be, you know actually open, as in all of the areas, lots, houses, community venues, etc, etc I would have access to freely go visit without a loading screen until I ventured past that particular neighborhood.
What use is an open neighbourhood if there are no sims at the venues when you visit? When they announced that TS3 would have an open world I was excited at the idea, but then the idea didn't match the reality. All the sims my sim was trying to meet or befriend, suddenly had to go home or to work, there were no clients in the bar because all five of them got stuck in the elevator, and the venues were almost all rabbitholes, so visiting them wasn't even an option. In TS4 at least you can avoid the loading screen if you create an open air venue.
