Cars in The Sims 4 idea

🌟 The Sims 4: Get to the Car! — Fan Expansion Idea 🚗

I had this idea for a new Sims 4 expansion (or free base game update) that brings cars and transportation back into the game — with a fun, modern twist!

 What can be new:

Buy cars right from your phone or computer.

Customize them in Create-a-Sim style — change color, shape, rims, interior, and even add fun accessories.

Give cars traits just like Sims! Example Car Traits:

Business Car – Gets to work faster, never late.

Racer – Drives up to 300 km/h but increases bills.

Taxi – Can carry unlimited Sims and still drives normally.

Mascot – No limits for accessories or editing.

Vet – Extra seats for pets.

Parenting – Extra seats for kids.

Brokie – Cheap and fast, but breaks often.

Sneaky – Great for burglars… or midnight adventures.

Road Trips and Travel: Sims can plan road trips and vacations using their cars! You could even see fun little cutscenes when they drive off to new places — adding life and realism to traveling.

Fun Gameplay Ideas: New events: carpooling, parking spaces, garages, or repair shops.

Optional driving modes: autopilot or manual control for storytelling.

Funny or dramatic moments — like a “Car Chaos” accident that leaves your Sim singed but okay (classic Sims humor, not realistic violence).

Why It Fits? Every generation of The Sims had cars — except The Sims 4! This pack would bring back the nostalgia and open up tons of new storytelling and gameplay possibilities.

Thanks for reading! 🚗✨

What do you all think? Would you play The Sims 4: Get to the Car!?

  • thesimmer64​ cool ideas for a pack! 

    I use the debug cheat to add cars to my Sims drives and garages (bb.showhiddenobjects and bb.showliveeditobjects) but it occurred to me yesterday that my Sim can travel anywhere by selecting the elevator...but not the cars on the drive! They are purely for decoration only and I'm running out of debug vehicles to use too. I had hoped (and saw a few rumours started by a random tyre photo) that the Restoration Workshop kit might add cars but it didn't, so I was a bit disappointed. I still recommend the kit as it's perfect for creating garages but I still have to add debug cars and my Sims can't interact with them. I hope we get something with a car theme soon 🤞.

  • It would be cool but I don't like traits for the Sims now I would like cars to function like In Sims 2 but with more gameplay like washing inside and outside of the car, putting gas in the car, with the restoration upgrade the engine and what not put neon under glow and a spoiler and tint windows. Customize if you can. 

  • Cars! Yess they are an essential part of life. It doesn't matter Sims 4 doesn't have an open world road system. They can still drive them around short distance like they do with bicycles. And yes to all Briana2526​ said. We could've had functioning garages, car dealership, and automotive mechanics as an active career.
