After celebrities, it's time for cars and thieves!

I know everyone here is talking about this possible Easter egg. I'm almost 100% sure that they did not put it out for nothing.


Police cars:

It could be a fine example of a decorative object because there is a police career in Get to Work. But some time ago, this rumor was shown to us in the form of icons inside the game, found by the user Adamskii6:

Alarm for thieves, police cars, an expensive car, school bus, .. Exactly what we had in previous versions of The Sims.
This user has also encountered icons related to Seasons and Cats and Dogs before they are released.

And of course, we also have a little hint, in the demonstration live of the new construction tool. A building that looked like a garage.
I just really hope they invest so much time and good ideas for it to come in a way that has never been seen before.

There are many good ideas for cars and thieves here in the forum. I have reviewed many times on many topics about this. I hope they get the best out of every user's ideas and make them possible.

I hope they bring more active thieves and more than simple Npcs. Maybe an active career as they did with actors. A nice "Upgrade" to Get to Work's police career too, with more roles for the police career. A prison where your Sim Thief really could stay. We need upgrade for a criminal career, this career has incredible potential.

I also hope they bring incredible experiences with the cars. New activities, new skills and more challenges for gameplay, as additional expenses with gasoline or car maintenance.
A trunk to make woo hoo and carry objects: Shop purchases, gifts or even items stolen by kleptomaniacs.
A Drive-thru for restaurants, Outdoor cinema on the cliffs, parking for shops and events, dealerships, new function for mechanics skill, functional gas stations and many new detailed animations for each of these things!

    Have you been watching the Maxis Monthly? They created a family of thieves that steal and then sell those items in their shop. All profit. :D
    I have created two sims from a favorite movie, Ocean's 11, 12 and 13. Danny Ocean and Rusty Reynolds. They will be my thieves who steal from the rich and museums and sell the plum for profit.


    OMG. It's looks so funny! hahah

    I had not seen it, thank you for sharing this. It is a good use of the "kleptomaniac" trait in this case. I wish they would use some more of this creativity to give us hot news.
    I would love to see more possibilities and interactions like these. As the friend quoted above, even "car thieves" is not impossible.

    Hope they put them in stuff packs so we can opt out with out losing anything important as I see no point for either and would like the choice not to have them with out losing anything else. I detest the burglars and see no point in cars for these small lots and towns with out real roads - so


    agree pointless to have cars without roads. we needs roads first. I still don't get why we don't have burglars with police active career. wish they patched it in already!!!

    Honestly Cars would be cool but I dont heavily need them in sims 4. Its just an object connected to a click and a short animation.
    Like I said it would be cool but honestly It does not make the game better for me anyhow. I super did not care for cars in sims 2 either. Sims 3 was diffrent because I liked to follow my sims in their cars but without the free world I dont need cars.

    Glad if it comes for those who crave them but I want the sim gurus to work on packs that influence highly on the gameplay. aka witches.


    The point of having cars is not just them getting your sim from A to B but also the interactions sims can do in them together.


    And being abel to build houses with garages.
    I just wish they'd tell us so I can put one in my build already XD

    Everytime people start asking for cars all we get is more fx cars, fx roads, and decor vehicles our sims not only do not see but cannot even interact with. On top of it I can't help but think all that fx every where is why we have no room for lots as sims cannot even use FX paths so they become visual blockades and sims still do not have cars on top of it. Pretty soon they won't have lots to even place the decor cars on at this rate.

    Maybe we ought to stop asking for cars and go back to yelling for lots.


    Why can't we have both? No one is asking for all this FX. I don't want fake roads, fake cars, and decor everywhere. I barely even look at the map. If they just made cars Sims could actually use, they not only wouldn't have to worry about us complaining about it, but wouldn't have to fill the world with fake cars that take time and energy away from more substantial objectives, like getting more lots.

    And a counter argument could be made that since customers are complaining that there aren't enough lots, they'll just add in more fake houses and buildings. So it goes both ways.

    Bottom Line to Maxis: Stop with the boring FX, and make something substantial that players can actually use!


    Sure no one is asking for it - but it is in the game already and where it exists nothing else can. Where will you put the roads and the cars that are not fx? They cannot use the same paths.

    We need more NPCs for sure. But vehicles? I mean all the premade houses would have to be redone in order to add garages so I do not see that feature ever being added. I hope those who want vehicles get them, but me personally? I can live without them.

    Yes! Cars are totally needed if they don't work I'm tired of using the few toy car options and scaling them up. I agree with the comments about the driveways, why have them if we are not going to have garage doors and cars!

    At the very least, I think the Sims team wouldn't find it hard to patch burglars and cops back in. Even without vehicles, the police could still spawn and run in, which is how TS1 did it. It's not as realistic as the previous two games, but I'd take that if we're not yet getting cars soon.

    I was also going to mention bringing firefighters back, but the sprinklers are so effective that they're pretty much obsolete in this game anyway.
