That cars weren't in the base game was already ridiculous since it was one of many things that where in Sims 3's base game.
Just as weird that after all these expansions we still don't have pool tables, elevators, spiral stairs, sims with different personalities and at least one full expansion with a more fantastical theme.
And they just keep throwing in stuff that no one asked for, that seems to be the Sims 4 theme considering how highly unpopular some full expansions are. (Eco life.)
Heck, instead of eco life they could have given us a full expansion filled with all those widely requested things that we got very used to having in at least sims 2 and 3, sometimes even sims 1 as well. Even sims 1 had pool tables in the base game.
