The Sims 2 didn't have an open world either but in my book it still beats the Sims 3, even though I have to admit, having an open world in the Sims 3, and then going back to not having one in the Sims 4 may be a touch disappointing when I finally get the Sims 4 myself.

From what I've seen, the Sims 4 graphics are better than that of the Sims 3, so that would definitely be an improvement for me. Whatever happens, I'm still willing to buy the Sims 4 and give the game a chance.
