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.
@crocobaura I agree with you about open world driving be an underwhelming feature, especially if you don't even have open world. For driving into a loading screen, I just don't see the appeal. Now I was playing Sims 2 back in olden times when the loading screens lasted 20 minutes, so I'm a lot more chill about Sims 4 loading screens than some other players are. I'm still not eager to add even more time to the process by tacking a repetitive animation to the beginning of it. Not only that, but it would take up Sim time, not just player time.
Well, since there will be loading screens regardless of whether you are on foot or in a car, then this issue is not really an issue. As for adding extra time, it's not different to riding a bike or a horse. People who enjoy that can have them in their game, those who don't can continue walking to lots. Drivable cars could be used to drive on large lots, teens could practice their parking skill and such. If they add a racetrack to the neighbourhood, sims could even possibly participate in a car race or maybe drifting. Also, it would be nice if sims could open a garage and have sims bring their cars in to be fixed, cleaned or upgraded. For this you would need drivable cars and it would offer so much more gameplay than a static object that you just admire once you've finished the one time restoration.
