Cars and not the animated ones
Is too much to ask for cars like we had in sims 3. I’m even fine with a taxi, again….😫Just give me something other than the loading screen😭
Forum Discussion
@SimmerCarl92 The devs said a while ago that this can't happen as it's not an open world so travelling by car isn't possible unfortunately. Maybe it will be added when Sims 5 is out (Project Rene).
But just purely for info only you could take a look at the advice on this older thread on how to add more decorative cars to your game whether on PC or Console. At the end of this old thread there are some really helpful tips if you want to add some cars on your drives/garages/car parks.
I do miss my cars from Sims Bustin Out and Sims 3 in particular but for now I just add them to my builds by resizing model cars. It can get a bit samey so I wouldn't mind a batch of new ones.
It's not quite what you wanted, but it's all we have for Sims 4.
Noted. At least i lived on what I have for The Sims 4.
Why does anyone think the game needs to be open world for cars, have none of you ever played Sims 1 or Sims 2? Neither game is open world, in fact Sims 4 is more open than either of those games ever were, yet both games still had cars even if they were just to travel. If EA really wanted to, they could implement cars into Sims 4 and even add simple animations when using them like those in Sims 1 or 2. There's also more they could do with vehicles other than just traveling. Restoration projects, careers (for example an auto repair shop), hell even selling cars with an owned business are just a few ideas I have.
The problem isn't the lack of an open world, the problem is that the game was designed in a way that simplifies travel so much that cars are essentially pointless as traveling tools. In the time it would take for your sim to even walk to their car you could already be at your destination. At the same time though, I still don't think that's a good excuse. Some people want cars, personally I doubt I'd ever use them for travel but then again I feel a lack of vehicles has hurt the immersion of the game.
So if you ask me, there should be no excuses especially for things that were done in previous games. They can make it work if they wanted to.
- @valohim666 it's not our reason, it's the established reason that we've been given for years. In fact if you Google it you will find dozens of articles giving the lack of an open world as the reason.
I've played since day one Sims 1.
Players have asked for years to have cars and there are numerous threads on here all giving the same answer.@simsplayer818 I'm sorry, but it still sounds like an excuse to me. Again, if the first two games can have vehicles there's no reason this one can't too. The fact remains that EA put vehicles into two separate games, neither of which have an open world, so to say it's not possible because of a lack of an open world to me is just silly. If people want to believe that then that's fine, but at the same time I also feel people should actually look to the past games and see what was possible in those before just agreeing with the established reason.
And hey maybe there is something different about this game that won't allow vehicles without an open world, so I won't deny that it could be a genuine reason though that doesn't mean we should all just accept it and not question it.
