@Ellessarr Nobody prefer to play on low-end hardware. But casual gamers will only buy expensive hardware for their gaming if they have a lot of money because obviously other things are more important for them to buy.
Anyway I am sure that there are a lot of hardcore gamers in this forum because casual gamers would rarely or never use so much money for their gaming as many people here do.
But even this doesn't prove EA wrong in their assumption that the Sims games are played more by casual gamers than EA's other games because only about 1% of the people who buy Sims games ever visit this forum. A lot of Sims games are probably bought as presents for birthdays or Christmas to casual gamers who often don't play them very much. Many of those simmers probably don't have a special gaming computer and they would often never buy it. So EA may be right in keeping the minimum requirements low to avoid losing a lot of customers.
So to get back on topic: EA chose to omit the open world to keep the minimum requirements low enough for people still being able to buy the game as a present to a casual gamer who only had a cheap computer for her school work. I actually think that EA could be right here even though we didn't like it and would have preferred TS4 to have been a 64 bit game for high end computers.
