I hope we get open worlds in this game.

TBH yeah haha. And the bistro in TS3 you had the choice to sit outside and eat your food. There were so many other lots that weren't rabbit holes, so I personally don't mind some only having a pop up screen to shop or waiting till they exit. It is at least better in an open world setting where if you have other sims you can go to them and do other gameplay. In TS4, if you go to the movie theater in San Sequoia, you have to stay at that lot and wait, or are forced to bring your other household members there if you want to play them. I just personally prefer an open neighborhood/world concept as it grants more player freedom.
