Cars in The sims 4?

@mfulcher77 , yes this is true.  But you are replying to someone from almost 3 years ago, so I think they probably have moved on. 😉

I really want to emphasize that when we ask for cars in The Sims 4, we don't just want a static object that teleports us. We want the full, deep functionality that we had in The Sims 2. The Sims 2 cars felt like a real part of the family's life. Here are the specific features and animations that made them so special and why they should be added to TS4:

• Immersion & Animations: I want to see Sims actually walking to the car, opening the door, sitting down, and fastening their seatbelts. We need the animation of the car reversing out of the driveway and driving away—not just a loading screen pop-up.
• Social Hub: In TS2, Sims could sit in the car together to talk, listen to the radio, or 'WooHoo'. It was a private space for them.
• Teen Interactions: Remember teaching teens how to drive? That was such a huge milestone for families! Also, teens should be able to 'hang out' in the car or even sneak out at night using it.
• The Junk Car (Restoration): One of the best hobbies was the 'Restorable Car'. Spending days under the hood to build the Handiness skill and then finally painting it and driving it was incredibly rewarding.
• Safety & Utility: We need car alarms to prevent theft (bringing back the Burglar!) and the ability to lock the car so only specific Sims can use it.
• The School Bus & Carpools: Seeing the carpool arrive for work or the school bus for the kids added a sense of routine and 'life' to the neighborhood that is currently missing.
• Customization: We need to be able to choose the colors, set the lights, and hear the engine start.

The Sims 4 engine can definitely handle these 'lot-based' animations. Please, Maxis, don't just give us a prop—give us the soul of the Sims 2 vehicles!
