There will still be loading screens. Some lots would be unreachable by car . I'm not really sure how it'd work, unless your Sim just gets into the car and it disappears.

What we *really* need are improvements to the AI/personality system. I can guarantee you, cars will get old fast because the Sims driving them will be no different, more or less. This goes for every other piece of content they release. It's why TS4 tends to "get old fast". You need to make the stuff using the content interesting, immersive. Or else the content itself will be just as stale.

I'm not really a familial player so I may be biased. Most of my Sims are fantasy-esque, and wouldn't drive cars. :wink:

I don't want cars at all! My Sims are health- and environment-conscious and prefer to use people power. :)

You can choose not to use them.

I doubt it. As of now, bicycles are being used by random Sims in the worlds, so I expect cars will work the same way. I'll most likely be seeing my Spellcasters, Vampires and Mermaids getting out of a Toyota at the cafe in the bright, early afternoon sunshine. :/ Now, if they drove hearses or Munster jalopies, I could be okay with that.

Don't really want cars at this point myself, but we'll see what happens.

If it warrants a trailer, it must be really huge. I don't think even terrain tools had a trailer.

The last free update that I can remember having one was toddlers. Do you think the announcement is somewhere along that scope? I can see cars/transportation or CAW being trailer-worthy updates.

I've had a look at this - the video file (which they've removed) was in the same playlist as last month's maxis monthly. It could be that they have already recorded it and uploaded it too early?

They had planned on live streaming the GuruGarage on YouTube too, but apparently ran out of time. That's what it was - Frost confirmed it a couple days ago.

Car Ferry maybe, what I can’t imagine is what they going to do for San Myshuno. Isn’t there at least on neighborhood up in the air? And, will they be able to add a place to park cars for apartment dwellers?..... maybe a parking garage or something?

I'm thinking cars is a big possibility (while I don't see how it'd work, I'm sure y'all have more of an idea), but what about a colour wheel?

Oh, I would love a color wheel for clothes and especially furniture!

Bicycles are great though. And I don't see the problem with vampires and other lifestates using cars? As a matter of fact having NPC spellcasters use brooms in the normal world would ruin the immersion of players who do not want to tackle any occult content in their saves. Brooms aren't even a transportation object for spellcasters, they can't use them to travel to other lots in TS4 which is very unfortunate.

@Dianesims also it looks like there are driveways on all the premade lots in whatever that neighborhood from the magic pack is called.

They will announce the closure of TS3 Store.

If they do, good riddance.

But keeping expectations low..

As I learned, they are excited for the littlest thing...

No lies detected here!

More shade thrown. Y'all need to learn how to comment on the game, not the players.

This comment was not aimed towards the playerbase but towards the developers/EA.

Just for the record..

They have hyped Starwars costumes in the past, so that's why.

Imagine the big announcement is more Disney propaganda..... I would riot.
