I honestly miss the open world the most and I don't think there's any way they can implement it without completely overhauling the game engine. this sucks because it was really the greatest revolution 3 introduced. that said, everything is always very populated wherever you go because of that - visit any club, shop, or park, and there'll be plenty of people to meet there.

Because of this I have both installed. The two games offer very different playstyles and both have awesome things that the other does not. Let's hope the Sims 5 will have a super populated open world with toddlers and emotions, and create-a-style
Sims 4 just seems like a step back when it could have been a step forward. There are positives. The emotion and multi-tasking system seems interesting. But Sims 4 looks bad because Sims 3 exists.

And the art style is strange as well. They've gone for a more cartoonish look for the Sims 4, whereas I preferred the more realistic look of Sims 3.
