Will it be open world
I loved The Sims 3 and a big part of that was because of the open world (I actually didn’t buy the Sims 4 because it wasn’t there but now it’s free…) So I’m wondering if this game will have one or no...

@kaze_____90 To be fair, there are already quite a few open world games. For instance, Genshin Impact. That game works fine on most mid to high end phones. There is also minecraft on mobile-- Which despite how it looks is a very complex game with a lot of simulations occuring.
Let's be honest, low end phones will probably not be able to play it regardless. But low end phones (I'm talking those cheap, $50 phones) can't play 99% of games anyway except the most basic things. So.

To be honest I think the phone version will have limited features, and the graphics/resolution will be different from the PC version.
We already know that buidling and decorating will be possible on mobile from the footage they’ve shown us. But I am not very concerned about it as I don’t intend to play on mobile.
I would be happy enough if the whole world isn’t just scenario and is fully editable, and wouldn’t mind as well to focus on neighberhoods/districts without going through loading screens.
Althoug I would say that the game will still take years to be released and by then the average PC’s being used will have better graphics/specs to run a full open world.
Personally The Sims3 wasn’t lagging that much for me. Ok sometimes yes, but it was playable and not a very huge deal as many people complain about. And we are talking about 2009. So in my honest opinion there is no excuse nowadays to not enable and optimoze a full open world.
The fact, and this is a thing make me so angry, is technically the open world, or at least an open district mode, is possible even on the sims4, if you play with your sims, all the furniture of other lots (no matter if there are house, bar, park...) are loaded in the game, yes if you zoom to much on another house, it become a "rabbit hole" and you don't see anything, but if you see at a certain distance (or see in first person), not only the game load all the furniture of the home/lot you watch, but even the objects reflexed on a mirror, and all of this things are loaded at the highest graphic level (i mean, the highest graphic level you set for your game), but if you want visit the lot, bum, loading, and this is useless, if nothing except our house and the "community" space are loaded, i can understand a loading during the visiting to lot from another lot, but in this case, when everything is still loaded, everething is "ready", it don't make any sense, i see it only like a cut content, it's seems in the beginning they want to add the open world in sims 4, but they have a little bit problem to optimize it and said: "you know what? no open world for players", but leave the possibility for all the furniture of the district to be loaded in game, giving us a fantastic useless resource eater, because yes, even if you don't visit a specific lot/house, the game doesn't care and load everithing, and this is a useless "weight" for your pc.
