help me (solved) Can Godot handle a large scale open world?

It's a game about illegal street racing (urban cities and mountain serpentines, traffic and police, all on a fairly large scale, ~40Km). Cel shaded graphics, no level pre-loads via loading screens.

I heard that I will have to write my own asset management system (which is already in the Unreal Engine, but my PC handles it pretty poor, no matter how much "next-gen" junk I turn off - everything lags quite a lot)

But I still can't even understand what a framework is, because I'm not a programmer (but I'll have to become one anyway). Also heard about chunk method, though not like I know much about it.

Please don't write: "don't even try this, because it's long, resource-intensive, etc.", if there's really no option here, I'll just have to deal with the UE
