We still don't have any form of vehicular transportation!
In The Sims 4 we have a closed world. To get to a lot, you have to wait for a loading screen. This isn't any different from previous iterations, except The Sims 3 with its open world. I was bummed out that we don't have open world in The Sims 4.
What really makes me more dissapointed is that we don't have any form of transportation. Your Sims just teleport anywhere they want! Or they walk to the edge of the neighbourhood and then we see a loading screen. I think this really breaks the immersion of my game. I'm not even asking for ownable cars here, even though I don't think that's too much to ask. We don't even have a simple carpool, taxi or school bus! We had all of these three in the original The Sims, EIGHTEEN FRIGGIN YEARS AGO! (fyi same goes for ponds and simple terrain tools). I just think it is so absolutely ridiculous that eighteen years ago we had simple transportation and now we don't have any!
It's just the fact that they won't even bother doing these simple vehicles in the game just dissapoints and angers me. Of course I can't expect much anymore, but still. It is so mind-boggling to me! Some it won't bother maybe. It's just a few seconds of some animations, but as a life simulation game I find this a very important issue.
