    I'm pretty sure you have better chances to request and receive something wild like toilet paper rolls printed with money, grilled cheese, or Nancy Laandgraabs face than functional cars in TS4. 😁😂 They might even add appropriate moodlets. 😀😊

    Functional cars are problematic due to a lack of open world and given the odd routes taken by Sims on bikes I doubt they'd stick to the roads! But there are a lot of cars and vehicles in debug. Including car wrecks and tires. 

    bb.showhiddenobjects and bb.showliveeditobjects (testing cheats is not required).

    On console I find they don't all show up unless I do a blank search by opening up the search box and hitting enter without adding any search terms. I hear it's easier on PC. I just have to scroll a lot to find them. There are wagons and trucks too.

    I thought we might get car maintenance with the Restoration Workshop kit but the items from that kit paired with some car wrecks and cars, etc could still make a cool garage. I've added something like this to a Sim's home and I've been working on another one too.

    We definitely could use more garage doors, currently I use the ones from City Living. There's plenty of graffiti with Lovestruck, Get Together, Business and Hobbies and I think there is some in other packs but unsure when I'm not in my game. I use it quite a lot.

    Low key I don’t even care if the cars ain’t functional I just don’t wanna fill my underground parking garage with the same ugly low pix yellow white and blue cars 🤣 standards in the trenches with TS4 but I aim high with it so when they undoubtedly disappoint then at least I get one item that I actually want 🤣

    Simian868​ they don't appear with a search for me unless I use a blank search. So after using the debug codes, go to the buy section of the build catalogue and open the search box, don't type anything in the box and hit enter. It will then show you all items including debug ones. You have to scroll through all of the items to find the cars and vehicles. It's all there. Note that you can't copy debug items so it's easier to place them when you first see something you might want to use and then delete them if you change your mind. If you do this on an empty lot you can save them in your library to use later. The cars and vehicles are further through the search items for me and they aren't all together, they're spread around so it takes a lot of scrolling.

    I found the carssssss I scrolled for timeee down that whole list checkin everything out🤣

    they need to resize them though cause even with the size up tool it’s either too tiny or too big and goes through the roof of the garage 😭

    I beg they give us a car kit , don’t need them work just make it a realistic size and decent resolution

    That's great Simian868​ glad you found them I was also going to suggest looking through the Gallery as there are garages and car lots made by other players, or so I'm told (Gallery isn't working properly for me on Xbox). 

    But absolutely agree with you we could really use a car kit.

    I mean the cars will work like Sims 2 it technically wasn't functional but it had a lot of gameplay also you can put a car in the inventory when visiting other lots.

    Simian868​ same for me. I can only upload my own creations, that's because if I place builds I get an Xbox error code that wipes my saves. I can't search either or follow others. I'm resigned to it now 😞.
