First, I wouldn't call The Sims 4 world closed. I actually love how they chose to set it up - it's semi-open and I think that's optimal for both gameplay, reaching a happy medium with most Sims players and definitely for broadest computer performance.
Second, if they were to go with an open world, then I would hope it'd really be open. In Sims 3, I would still get the equivalent of a loading screen when my computer processor(?) wasn't working "up to speed" with the bloated game. Also, I would hope that this open world wouldn't mean that the look of our sims or their numbers in the world would have to take a major hit as they did in Sims 3 - I'm almost positive that the reason why the sims themselves were less expressive, less unique-looking in game as opposed to in-CAS and more robotic was because they put all of the work into making the open world (and CASt) function. A lot was sacrificed just so we could ooh and aah over an "open" world. If it has to be a toss-up between open world and sims, I'm going to choose the sims themselves every time. I don't care about walking to a neighbor's house or to a venue if the venue is only going to have 2 other sims or the neighbor's house is going to take 7 minutes to render so I might as well have a loading screen.
