Vehicle for Sims
I would like to suggest bringing something back which is in the PC version. Bring back vehicle Sims can drive around to travel or for work. This would allow us to make driveways and garage. Als...
@nhvijtwds2q5 we've asked for this for a while but logistically I'm told it's quite problematic without an open world and that's been the definitive answer for a while. But there are decorative cars in Debug which I still haven't tried and other players are more knowledgeable on that subject. There are also the cars in Decorations though and I use one of those and place it on a drive outside a house, I blow it up in size. To get the right size for me I make it 8x the size of the toy. I'd actually be happy just with more cars added in this way, particularly as we have horse trailers now.
To make a garage, if you have City Living there is a garage door in outdoor activities which is for painting murals but I use it as a garage door. I put one either side of the wall to look realistic. If you don't have City Living, I've used 3 or 4 tiles of coloured siding to get a similar effect and then used a wall covering that has edges to create an edge around the mock door, or a flat style column can work too at a pinch.
To make a drive, it depends on the lot type. If the house is on a deck or platform I use a section of roofing, place it on the ground and use the gravel roofing to cover it, because there is a matching flooring for that so I can match the ground and deck to the roof section and make it all look like one big drive. There are metal coverings too but I find the gravel looks more effective. If it's on raised terrain, you can just create a drive by creating a terrain ramp.
I've added an image of my farm drive here to show you an example of how I've added vehicles but there are examples of other players builds on this thread here, which has a few other examples too:
I've linked it to page 19 because in my opinion it has an image of one of the nicest driveways I've seen by another player.
Additionally...if it's the console controls that you are having issues with, here's the thread for that so you can share your thoughts if you'd like to. Quite a few of us on console are having a few problems with the changes but the good news is that we are in positive conversation with EA about it and we've had lots of great feedback and support:
