It's really sad that I know my neighborhood is alive because I see Sims out jogging and gathering in community areas endlessly BBQing and filling picnic tables with food (sigh) but at the same time I KNOW where some of them live, I know that they have gardens and chairs outside and pools. If you zoom in to a home in free cam (I think) you can see all the furniture inside. It's like the game came so close to having this feature where neighborhood at least we're going to be "open" but they had to disable it. Static furniture is different than objects and Sims having gameplay and animations that need to be processed I guess.
I'm happy that Sims mull about here and there and do stuff within the neighborhoods/world's it does make it feel alive, but the main thing is as the world's get more spread out and filled with fake houses they are actually defeating the purpose and in turn creating ghost towns.
