Open world is obviously the ideal, given a capable development team with a committed publisher behind them.
So they should probably avoid it.
I can't imagine any development team would be incapable of building such a feat, but Maxis is a division of EA, so there is no distinction between them. It would be great if EA didn't rush it all out on a deadline though, show some committment to their work and their customers every so often.
I can't see it coming for TS4 in our lifetimes, it would mean getting into the coding, rebuilding it and then building a whole world. It's very possible it could come in TS5 instead where extra resources don't need to be added when it can be built directly into that game during its development.
