It takes less time in a loading screen than it did to travel across the map in Sims 3. This is Sims 4, not Sims 3 and many of us like it like that. I hated how long it took to get places in Sims 3. I love in Sims 4 how easy it is to click on the phone pick your companions and boom, you are on your way. Pick a destination (In any world - not confined to one) and you are there. That is the beauty of Sims 4. Stop thinking in terms of Sims 3. Or go and play Sims 3.
Players should be allowed to post their thoughts freely on this forum without having another player come and tell them to 'go back to Sims 3' just because they disagree. That's pretty rude, actually.
There are for's and against's for loading screens. For me, personally, I quite like the open world because travelling around made the game more immersive and realistic. I liked roaming around the open world, but that's just me. Having loading screens plays like second life or similar which is not really my thing. It's all down to personal taste. If they must have loading screens, then at least the neighbourhoods could be open because they went from a completely open world to a completely closed world - one extreme to the other. A compromise might have been more acceptable.
