I hope we get open worlds in this game.

This is the one make-or-break component for me. If it's not open world, I will not be buying it. I have invested too much money into sims4 to switch to another generation that would basically offer the same thing. Open world is the only thing that will sway me to buy it, hence why I am looking forward very much to paralives. The fact that project rene (why the weird name?) hasn't confirmed whether it will be/won't be, that I have seen anyway, makes me very concerned that it will not be open world. I know they are in early stages but so are paralives. Paralives is very open about where they are at in the process and their confirmed features which open world is. The main thing that sims 5 has been confirming and pushing is the multiplayer component which the majority of their players have said they really don't want. I have read that it is optional, thank god for that, because I don't want the multiplayer component in my game.
