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

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.
  • As type of cars go on, I would like every type, like a sport cars, a muscle car, pick up truck... and you know, if I have a big pick up truck, I expect it to be polluing the air and also cost a lot... I mean we need that cars are really expensive, like for the top cars, being over the 100 000 simoleons, because if they bring cars in the game with lets say the most expensive one being at 15 000 simoleon for example, than that will be a lack luster.... like common, its so easy to get rich, especially if its not a first generation of sims, or if you play with the longest life span, we need overpriced things.

    I would even like to have like a car that cost a billion simoleons, that would be sick...

    Made of solid gold and covered in diamonds? :lol: They could make the limo and a few other cars more expensive and luxurious, but I think most cars would be cheaper than 15.000 simoleons.

    I would like one of these, please. Would be lovely to be able to tinker on them, and maybe even have a race track or neighbourhood we could race them or do drifting competitions.

    Racing with a chance of police coming what's a street race without the 5 0 lol.
  • I never played with the cars in Sims 2 (but now I may have to after writing and posting this LOL), but if we did have them back in the game, it would have to be with a pack similar to FreeTime from Sims 2 (one of my other favorite packs from that series due to the hobbies and hobby enthusiasm). This pack included actions like talking about hobbies, browsing the web for hobby sites, blogging about hobbies, visiting hobby community lots (unlocked with appropriate hobby enthusiasm levels) and being in the Zone when doing hobby related actions (enthusiasm level 10). Being In The Hobby Zone was a major Want for most Sims in Sims 2. It awarded Sims with major Aspiration and Influence Points when achieved, along with a special glow around your Sim when they were In The Zone related to their hobby.

    I never played with the Tinkering hobby past studying the Mechanical skill. I remember the pack gave us the ability to buy, repair, and upgrade cars. You could also install alarms on them. You could also drive them to work instead of walking or taking the car pool. I don't remember if you could drive them to community lots. There was also the WooHoo interaction.

    I never managed to get my Sims up to a career level where they had the Helicopter as a carpool vehicle due to the fact that I cannot stand the loud sound of the helicopter in the loading video of the Sims 2 UC or the game itself. This has nothing to do with the game. I have mild sensory issues due to my Hydrocephalus and shunt. It would be fun to have it back in the game with a toggle to turn the sound on and off. I don't remember vehicles having a sound toggle in the Options. I will have to look when I load the Sims 2 UC again later today.

    As far as clothing options go, there was a Diesel SP in Sims 3 that gave us clothes that went along with having vehicles in the game. I did dress my Sims in some of the outfits so it would be fun to have those back to go with the vehicles.

    So in conclusion, a FreeTime hobby EP (from Sims 2), along with Diesel themed clothing (from Sims 3), and a base game update to add carpools to fully flesh out gameplay would be my request for adding vehicles and other related items to the game.
