TOO MANY LOADING SCREENS!!
Too many loading screens! You shouldn’t have load to a new lot when you are within the same area. It takes up more time and lags generally the loading screen to reload to a new scene in the SAME a...

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.
Did you ever clock that? Because I did and it’s in fact not true.

I just did a 'speed' test, because I was curious what the differences effectively are between travelling in an open world and travelling between loading screens (for 'scientific' reasons, not because I care but because others seem to care; I don't mind waiting for a bit in 4 myself and I love travelling through an open world).
I made sure to be as 'honest' as possible, so all the sims testing for me were standing in their house and I included everything while timing. Also zooming out to press 'travel' in TS4, and zooming out to view town in TS3 and looking for/selecting the spot I wanted my sim to travel to. Everything was clocked from the moment I decide my sim has to travel till the very moment they arrive there.
Sims 3
I picked Hidden Springs, sending my sim from A to B.
Slowest car (3): 35 seconds real time (speed 3)
Sim time: 11:07 – 12:12 (= 65 minutes)
Fastest car (10): 21 seconds real time (speed 3)
Sim time: 17:23-17:55 (= 32 minutes)
Teleporting (cheat): 15 seconds real time (all-in, finding the spot B on the map and give order to teleport); sim time: 18:13-18:14 (= 1 minute to the very spot you want your sim to be)
Sims 4
From hallway to the café in Windenburg: 30 seconds real time
Back home: 35 seconds real time (due to walking time till loading screen, I used speed 3 of course)
Sim time going: 12:14-12:16 (=2 seconds); returning home: 2:32-2:42 (=10 minutes)
This on the same computer, obviously.
So apart from the fact you can teleport in an open world, even the slowest car is just a fraction slower than Sims 4's loading screen and that is to the far end of the world. When you visit your neighbours you're a lot faster (in Sims 4 you're not).
Hey, you started the comparing business didn't you?
