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.
- simsplayer8183 years agoHero@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.- 3 years ago
@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.
- simsplayer8183 years agoHero@valohim666 players have questioned it for years. In fact if you search the key word "cars" on the index page you will see many threads where players have questioned it.
We can't make them add it. In this community we question everything. However we hit a lot of brick walls and on much more important issues than this, like game breaking bugs. But as a community we continue to question everything. In fact we've only recently pushed for more open dialogue and transparency in general.
This subject has been handled by gaming experts, gaming media and more over the years it's all out in the world to read and the same answer always comes back.
