Vehicles and transportation

I remember being able to drive cars in the sims 3. Considering we are at gen 4 and in the making of gen 5 for the sims, travel and vehicles are lacking. I mean, we have bikes, horses, and aqua zips. No cars or boats. We should have options to have a sim use public transport like a taxi, subway, or trolley (especially in worlds like San Myshuno and Evergreen Harbor). I mean, I think it's so boring to always use the phone menu for travel. Plus, there should be historical gameplay options like a horse and carriage. Attention to detail is important to a lot of players. Sometimes I like walking down the street or cycling to lots, because I get to see all the street level content such as: like car drive-by animations, the trolley animation, NPCs walking their dogs and jogging, and all the neighborhood activity. I also think that traveling to lots via the street shouldn't require a loading screen. Like a sim will bike or walk to a lot in the same neighborhood, be at the lot, and then a loading screen appears. And if EA adds cars, they can add vehicle related gameplay such as: gas stations and body shops. You ever notice the amount of parking meters in the worlds? There are a ton and there are no actual drivable cars. There's a subway train in San Myshuno, but no actual train or interactive shell for players to use. I also want to see a world with an airport that can be used to travel to destination worlds.

    i remember in Sims 3, we could travel around the world in vehicles and not have to have additional loading time. right now, you can't even visit your direct neighbour and you have additional loading time. id rather sacrifice an additional 30sec-1 minute for initial game load then to have to load new neighbourhoods every time. be nice to drive to the local watering hole, walk in and start chatting with other community sims and not have to load further.

    EA MAKE THE WORLDS FREE RANGE AGAIN!
    BRING BACK VEHICLES!

    I agree. This would make gameplay & storytelling so much better. I also hate just using a phone menu. It's so unrealistic.
