I will gladly welcome a 15 sec load screen to avoid stuttering and this happens even with a great video card in my computer

We are back to having to use the phone to travel to our destinations, along with getting to enjoy the "waiting" screen while it loads

THE NEGATIVE:-Load screens are back

I don't like the loading screens and the closed off feel

However, I don't find this all that annoying (especially when the sim 3 I had a solid 15 minute loading screen)

Annoying load screens whenever you want to go anywhere: check

(loading screens that would not load, relationship bugs, etc.)

Within 12 hours, my laptop was acting like it was infected with a virus, and my laptop is now dead - a black screen is all that will happen when I turn it on

And you can't even go outside of your sims little area of about 6 lots without TRAVELLING -- remember that dreaded load screen wait in Sims 2 whenever your sim wanted to go visit a friend or the library

I also really hate loading screens

TS4 is claustrophobic to me and I find that I keep my sim at home much more just to avoid those lame loading screens (there's a loading screen even to visit your neighbor!)

I find the game play boring and do not like the static screens when switching neighborhoods

The story is Sims 4’s saving grace
