Let's talk about vehicles and what they should do if/when they get in game

I would like to have many different cars from various eras. It would be funny to have one that matches the description of Adam Sandler's vehicle from "Ode To My Car".

From old beaters to shiny new cars. I realize they can't make all the cars in existence because there are too many. It would also be nice to have other types of vehicles like wagons, horse-drawn carriages, (eventually would be great to have horses to ride for transportation). Boats would be nice-- (I think we got some limited ones in Island Living but I never played around with that much).

We could go from the very low tech stuff like rickshaws (pulled by a person either on foot or on bicycle), to small carts, to covered wagons, to carriages, etc.) up to hovercraft and flying cars.

I personally would love to see a Bowden Spacelander bike. They just look so cool. If I could ride a bike & actually had a place to ride one (no bike lanes in rural area) I'd want one.

As for cars, I would like some vintage ones. I'd love to see some Volvo Amazons. The 2 door, the 4 door "saloon", and the "estate". I'll have to dig up pictures later.

Pickup trucks would be nice. I'm partial to the Honda Ridgeline (because that's what I drive).

Perhaps they could be powered by gas, but maybe sims could make fuel from plants and other stuff they way they make fertilizer. Some stuff will work better than others. Solar power/electricity would also be good. Vehicles could charge up via solar powered ports.

I like all of the suggestions for car activities that you've listed. Perhaps handymen could upgrade the car to never break down, never have flat tires, never need fuel, be self-cleaning, etc.

I do *not* want sims forming "relationships" with cars like they did in a TS3 pack. That was a bit on the creepy side.

Pets should be able to sit on top of cars and go for rides with sims.

I'd like to see new lots types that are built with cars in mind. A old fashion drive in movie theater would be nice though the films would need to last longer than Movie Night, a romantic mountain lookout where your Sims can see the city below, fast food drive thru, car lot who wants a buy a car in build mode and most importantly a race track.

I love this, if they can't be driven at least they should be used otherwise. I'd also like camping van type cars that can be used by sims to live in them or use them as food trucks to start a business.

Maybe they could add buses and motorcycles too

well first 10 thoughts

1.motorcycles
2.kicking down row of parked motorcycles *results in sims immediately showing up to rage at you (urbz)

3.racing (on lot item and off lot events)

id really love if we had motorcycle races in the backalleys like in urbz
track could just be nice object to place anywhere and slot motorcycles of choice on

and i think it be mega cool if it appeared like how festivals do in some driveways in worlds we have like for example behind spice market apartments is like perfect unused spot for it

and well cars... why not though i think that rink would have to be on actual lot

4.tuning/ building/fixing cars and motorcycles... and no not in the vague way like "purchase upgrade part done" make it actual handy handy hobby and have them actually build maybe even as group if want to there is so few things to use that handiness for

5. the basics like woohoo, music, makeout,hang out...

6. 2 sims can ride on same motorcycle (romantically or less romantically)
and at least 4 sims in a car (maybe there should be ridiculous 8sim car or bus or something too for funs)

7.actual garage doors.... so much faking for those :tired_face: they could maybe also have off chance of accidents that you could turn off but for fun

8. skateboards or kids cars :lol: something fun like that for the younger than driving age

9. yes motorcycles and cars should use gas and there could also be eco option to charge with electricity instead

10. washing them cars and motorcycles...there could be a flirty option too ;)

So we already know it's a sims 2 world with the load screens so I think cars should have more game play since we can't really drive it around like in Sims 3.
1. I want to be able to wash vehicles
2. Fix Vehicles or have a mechanic job.
3. Woohoo in vehicles
4. Turn on the radio
5. Like hang out in the back of a pick up truck and look at the stars or clouds or even sleep back there.
6. Eat/ Sleep in the car.
7. Have like an Uber job with your car.
8. Teens learn how to drive in the car
9. Teens take car for joyride
10. Chance of a car wreck possible death but that might be to morbid.
11. Should we put gas in car?
12. An angry ex or your enemy comes and break your windows or flatten your tire
13. Flat tire
14. Clean inside car like vacuum.
Anymore ideas someone has.

This will do.^^^^


Sims with certain traits will be more likely to have an accident, or have someone vandalize their car.
Like, mean sims will get their car keyed. Or your car may be keyed by a mean sim if you get in an argument with them.
You could do some interesting things with traits and emotions.

Some sims will get moodlets like road rage and come home angry or stressed.

Yeah especially the moodlets of road rage lol.

When they do finally decide to put playable vehicles in Sims 4, I want:
K.I.T.T (Knight Rider)
DeLorean (Back to the Future)
Motorcycle (Ghost Rider)
Batmobile
Batplane
Batcycle
Xmen Jet

Basically, I love unusual vehicles. ;)

Motorcycles, Vespas, skooters, motor-trikes, would all be cool. Smart cars would also be cute.

I said I would post pics later:

Having a camping car to live in would be nice.Maybe add mobil homes too,they are a kind of vehicle since they can be moved.Caravans also maybe?Trucks and trailers?A new job delivering stuff with your truck?Just some ideas that came to mind.
