This is turning into a series . . . So some simmers can't stop talking about how much they want cars, others are bored with the topic. Where do you stand? Which aspect of cars do you care about? On the one hand you have drivability, i.e. the ability to drive your car around the neighborhood. On the other hand, you have parked car interactions: making out, woohoo, listening to the radio, napping, etc. If we have a drivable car without parked interactions it would basically be like an Island Living water scooter, except that it goes on roads instead of water. If we have parked car interactions without drivability, I imagine this being like a fixer-upper car that, once it's fixed up and painted, you can use it for woohoo and naps and all that, but it still doesn't run well enough to drive.

Why give us cars that you can't drive to other lots? I don't want open world driving, TS2 style loading screen kind of driving is fine and preferable, but no driving at all is just weird.

I know I'll be in the minority, but I don't miss cars in the game. Cars are not a big part of my life. I've never owned one; it's kind of a hassle in a big city like mine where just parking a car almost anywhere costs money. I drive a Communato (car-sharing) once in a while, and take cabs/Ubers sometimes, but most of the time I walk or take transit.

We need drivable motorcycles with sidecars that pets can ride in...

I would enjoy having cars in the game, since I think not having them does impact the realism-especially as someone from the midwest, a lot of my life involves around driving since nothing is walkable here. It would be another way to spend money (yes, I do think the money system is too easy in the sims 4) on the cars themselves and also maintenance. Cars could allow for new careers like taxi driver or repairing cars. That said, at this point I think it is unlikely that cars will ever be added to the sims 4. A lot of the worlds aren't really optimized for them and they don't fit in as well in the closed-world system. There are other additions such as further improvements to personalities, more outdoor activities, and preteens that I would like more.

Nah, if I want to play with cars I can just play my Sims 3. ;)

Cars would be sweet, but we're already in too deep with The Sims 4 that I really doubt they'll be optimized for literally anything in that game. At most, I imagine they'll be drivable on only one world. Every other world? Just there to rust and collect dust.

Not having cars in the game have bothered me since day 1 when the game was released.

Without it neighborhoods and lots feel like movie sets, the solution of having sims fading away into nothing have always looked bad in my opinion or when sims like firemen appear out of thin air.

It doesn't feel like you are traveling anywhere and it also makes it unnecessary complicated if you want to build lots with garages or parking lots. There are plenty of cars driving around in the neighborhoods but we can't own one ourselves?

I voted ‘Need drivable cars, would be nice if they have parked interactions’. As I think if cars did ever come, the focus would be on the driving status than when it’s not moving.

More likely the car will go in a Sim’s inventory and you click on it in there. The car will probably teleport to the road with the Sim inside and drive off.

No teleportation and TS3 style cars, please. We saw with bikes, how they like to take them out of their inventories while still inside buildings and park them next to the couch when they get home. I don't want the same thing to happen with the cars. They need to have their designated parking spaces and ideally should be able to drive in and out of the lot, and sims should be able to open doors and get inside.
