Cars in the Sims4 with the same functionality as Sims2

tinypolecat​, What you call a "bad excuse" is the devs reading the analytic data. That data is what helps get funding for projects for the game. 

I agree with this, making it like sims 2 seems like an easy solution. Other people talking about it being because of people not liking the cars in sims 3 is a bad excuse. Normally if you do something that people don't like you change it so people like it, don't just get rid of it entirely.

I used cars now and then in Sims 2 but hated them in Sims 3 because my play style usually involves rotating households and due to the game mechanics, I was constantly having to delete cars from my sims' inventories every time I switched to a new household.  Not wanting that to happen again is the biggest reason I'm personally not bothered about cars.  I wouldn't object if cars functioned more like they did in Sims 2, but at the same time I am happy living without them.

At this stage in the Sims 4 life cycle, adding cars with any functionality at all would be unlikely 2d1ba4c0649959b1​ . It would require new game mechanics and given that even bike riding still has it's issues that might be a step too far. But I'd have liked more decorative cars for drives and garages. I think I've used all of the cars from using the debug cheat (bb.showhiddenobjects and bb.showliveeditobjects). I'm hoping someone is currently putting together a maker pack full of sports cars! 🤞

2d1ba4c0649959b1​, According to my simple research, they looked at Sims 3 analytics and found people did not utilize cars enough. A majority just used taxis. That was the reasoning behind no cars in Sims 4. I know it may not be what anyone wants to hear, but that was the basic answer. I learned that by reading articles that were dev interviews.
