Cars?

I've noticed several EA Sims downloads have cars. How in the world do you get a car to you lot?  I'm baffled. Or is it only in Sims 3 and not 4?

  • You can find cars in debug in build/buy mode.
    First open the cheat box  by using ctrl+shift+c
    Then type in testingcheats true
    Press enter
    Then type in bb.showhiddenobjects
    press enter
    Type in bb.showliveeditobjects
    press enter
    Then type in debug in the search bar in build/buy mode
    You can then look through the items to find cars

  • AG8291​ Another way to place a vehicle on a lot without having to use cheats is to use one of the toy cars and upsize it using the bracket key.  

    Hope this helps.

  • Thank you for your assistance. Now to figure out if I can actually do this.  I guess a question for CGrant - what's the bracket key?  it  does simplify the process.

    The bracket key is ]  on your keyboard. By holding the shift key and then pressing the ] key, it will make the item bigger. Each time you press the ] key whilst holding the shift key will increase it further in size.
    To make an item smaller, hold the shift key, then press the [ key 

  • oh I knew that. Ha ha  I thought it was a game thing, however, Rosemow, I did try to locate a car using your method. I found a small assortment of items, but no car among them.  now the next method--  using [upsize]  correct?   I've place a toy car on a pad of concrete already, or should I do anything else. I tried holding onto it and entered upsize in the cheat box. now I know that was incorrect. 

    So many cheats so little time-

  • Thank you. I'll look into the site. I appreciate your help
