I am so impressed with the way bicycles have been handled! They slow down when Sims ride through mud or uphill. The shadows and the sounds are perfect. And it's so adorable watching my Sims ride around! I feel like it was worth the price of the pack just to watch these bikes. <3

Same here, I just love seeing my sims pedalling around merrily.I like it how the animation changes when they ride up or down the hill.It's generally nicely done :)

And ridimg the bike fills their fun needs pretty fast. Gotta love it ☺.

I'm surprised someone is just now mentioning it. I've been screaming over bikes since day one. It's definitely the best part of university lol I have a blast with them. And it reminds me how much well done animations mean. All of that spinning, twirling, appearing, disappearing and teleporting just doesn't excite me the way watching these natural bike movements does ??

That's awesome! I'm really excited to get DU but I can't afford it quite yet. I'm gonna have to wait for a sale, however many months that takes, haha!

I even love how npcs will have them and you will catch them riding by your house on them sometimes. Also love how it brings their fun meter up really fast. While my sim was at Uni and her fun meter was low before class, a bike ride to class always fixed that right up. :)

I have yet to have a sim ride one, but my Sulani family owns one. A shame there are no kid bikes, but can't have it all lol

They are great. My only gripe is that sims ride them indoors.

I got a mod for that lol. I watched a video on Youtube and as soon as I saw that I looked for a mod to stop it, but I can see the irritation for those that don't like mods

I would love to ride a bike indoors. :smiley:
When I was little, my parents were preparing to install carpeting and let me rollerskate indoors on the bare hard wood floor. It was the best! :smiley:
