I miss cars!!! I want to petition EA to do a Cars and Wheels stuff pack that adds motorcycles and cars. Vehicles pop in the inventory and can be placed on a parking spot (transparent with a curb stop of different colors). Selecting it from a Sims inventory would route you to the world travel screen. It would also introduce the driving skill, which you can select any sim and have them practice driving with another, which builds relationships. If no other sim is available or qualified to mentor, they can select their vehicle and select "practice driving at DMV" which both options can provide a variety of moods and scenarios cards. The mechanic skill would also be introduced with a Mechanic NPC job.
Hot Rod Aspirations would now be a thing.
A cheap car will give tense moodlets for "being late" and angry for "breaking down". A car enthusiast trait would be sad to own a cheap car. A luxury car would give them a confident moodlets. When arriving at a location, other Sims could get happy from "seeing" an expensive car, or embarrassed from seeing a poor one. Scared moodlets for motorcycles would be for Sims with low driving skill and can only be for skill 5 or up.
Cars could have upgrades when parked, weither your sim does it their self with a mechanic skill, or hires a professional to do it (instant but pricey)
I would believe upgrade car parts can be scavanged and would be needed for upgrades and they would be rare and more expensive than electronic upgrade parts.
Customizing colors, paints, rims, and upgrading the interior would be options that make the car your own (Similar to how the holiday house decorating box works and has a lot of options for seasons)
I would say the loading screens would still be a thing, but it gives an extra breath of life, especially for those who like building garages and having cars, no more cheats on toys.
I wonder what's in store going forward and how this possible deal may effect things?
