Back when The Sims 4 came out, one of the Guru’s gave us some insight as to why they can’t have more than one lot active in The Sims 4, with one of the reasons being Multitasking. According to t...

Honestly the multitasking is great! I love it! But was it worth the loading screens. Yes and no, for me.
Like IF they would JUST open the spaces a bit more... or a "neighborhood" a bit more (not a world), but at the least! a neighborhood, that would make the loading screens not as awful.
I feel that if my Sim lives around a bunch of stores, or houses, etc.. those houses and stores should be freely accessible. No loading screen. But let's say I wanted to go to the Pier, or to the Lighthouse, or the what's the place called with the "pond like" area where you can swim? Brain is drawing a blank. Anyways! you get what I mean.
Those places should have loading screens for the simple fact that there is no animations/boats, etc to get to them.
Between worlds should have a loading screen
Between houses and venues that are REALLY far apart, should have loading screens.
But the spaces shouldn't - so if I wanted to visit a neighbors house, I could without loading, or a venue, without loading.. I should be able to and also be able to still maintain what's going on over at my Sims house (especially when I have like 6 Sims at home...that I want to be able to still control/to be able to have them doing specific things where I can still see what they're doing), etc.
I still have my fingers crossed that this some day happens.. because we could use a little bit better openness...even if it's not full open world, at least something. :( While toddlers have finally filled some of the family play emptiness I was feeling before, loading screens are still something that cause me to be somewhat disconnected from my Sims.
