Re: Cars and not the animated ones

@Mis_Meik01 , sadly no.  Year ago the Sim Gurus stated that the game engine in The Sims 4 does not allow for an open world, which is what it would take to eliminate most of the loading screens. And without an open world there isn't much use for cars, though we could get the type of cars that they had in The Sims 2 (which was more closed-world than TS4 is!  🤨 😅 ) where there are cars that you can get into, drive off your lot and then after a loading screen arrive at your destination with an animation of getting out of the car.  You could also listen to the radio and woohoo in TS2 cars, as well as get an old beat-up car and fix it up to use yourself or to sell for a nice profit! 😎  So, if we ever get cars in TS4, it would have to be like those in TS2, so we would still have loading screens.  

The Sim Gurus have also stated that the reason TS4 does not have an open world is because many people didn't have good enough computers to support an open world with The Sims 3, causing a lot of lag, stoppages, and even game crashes.  I experienced all of those with TS3, so much so that after a few years my game was pretty much unplayable. 😭  However not everyone had these problems.  

Fortunately, loading screens the loading screens are short!  Much shorter than my wait for TS3 to stop lagging ! 🥳 If there is going to ever be a The Sims 5, and if it were to have an open world, I really hope it doesn't grind to a halt like TS3 always did for a lot of people! 🤞
