@Beardedgeek, Sims 4 is just a pretty backdrop with very little significant/meaningful gameplay. Other iterations had more meaningful gameplay. As I have observed the sims in Sims 4 are just a bunch of tech addicts. They don't even really react properly to their surroundings.
And
1. We have had this discussion
2. This STILL don't answer my question why it is "bad" that the people you can only see far far away aren't fully rendered.
Because they are still Sims and if you still don't get that, that proves the Sims 4 isn't and never has been a real Sims game if none of the Sims matter. You may be ok with a not fully rendered game and the game no longer being a simulation game, but many of us are not. So yes Sims not only don't look like Sims they don't act like Sims anymore either. They are just a partially render backdrop of a badly designed movie set you could see low budget movies make like Sharknado.
None of that makes sense. You actually want the game to completely waste resources by fully rendering and AI control people you see hundred of yards away and you can't get to or talk to???? (yes that many ?)
And it proves absolutely nothing other than that they are better coders than you, because you would have completely slowed the game down to a crawl or forced players to buy brand new computers to be able to play it.
And "backdrop" is not a bad thing or an insult, btw (And again, trying to use "partly rendered" as a bad thing). It is what ALL movies and games do. ALL. Do you think all the special effects in Hollywood movies are rendered to the same quality? Do you think the practical effect Orc costume of Extra #235 in a movie that will be filmed from the waist up behind a counter 100 feet away will even WEAR the orc costume below the waist?

I know you weren't replying to me, but I think Beardedgeek was not talking about the part I quoted . To me it seemed they were curious why it is so important that things you do not even see at regular gameplay aren't fully rendered, I don't see the part they said about they think about game being a simulation game or not. I might be wrong tho, not the first or the last time :)
Exactly this. See above.
I do and people had to buy new computers anyways when the game switched to 64 bit. The good movies are. B Rated movies aren't. Plus the coders for the game are different from the FX coders. So no I don't want the Sims to be partially rendered just so 10+ year old computers can run it. I rather have poorly rendered stuff not included at all then be done poorly. Gurus don't mind feedback. I got told Afro hairs would slow down computers too, then showed CC afro hairs that were down well clayfied and bam now they are in the game. I actually have taken coding in university before when going for an accounting information system minor. Yes I do know Gurus are better at coding than me especially SimGuruSteve so if you are trying to insult me with that, it isn't going to work. But hey if you want to go into coding and do it well yourself, go for it, go to school for gaming if that is something you are passionate about. Honestly I was perfectly fine with having a blue background and real neighborhood critters in TS2 over the poorly done FX in the game that is just poorly down backdrop. It is like if a streamer used a poorly done backdrop full of trash and a dirty bedroom, it is distracting and grosses people out. So if you are fine with poop graphics as a background and at the same breath say how Sims 4 has the best graphics in the world, I just can't take it seriously sorry. I rather have interactive background than a poorly done background your Sims can't even interact with. So yes I do want the background a part of gameplay.
