Cinebar, I'm with you totally! All that useless territory in all the 'worlds' we can't use, all the opportunities missed because those lots, buildings, parks, and general area are fake. Those rows of inaccessable for anything buildings in WC, the useless boats in BB, the 'city' that has less to offer than the half horse town I live in, and on and on. TS4 is just an off line online game we can sort-of wander around in but can do nothing meaningful with it. I briefly played one, and that's all I could do with my had to make it first before anything would work character, wander a bit, slay monsters, and sometimes find loot to plunder. Whoopppeee...
