Can children ride a bike if you buy "Discover University"?

I have not found any information regarding kids and bikes so I'm just wondering if I missed something.


There are a few ways to get your sim to move around the map quickly.

- You can become a vampire and unlock a skill that let's you move superfast. But kids cannot become a vampire
- You can become a spellcaster and take the broom. But kids cannot become a spellcaster
- You can lvl up the wellness-skill and teleport. But kids cannot use the wellness-skill

If you buy "Discover University" then teens and up will be able to ride a bike but how about kids? One day we might get cars in the game but I somehow doubt that children will be driving cars anytime soon so I would really like to know if kids will be able a for them a pretty darn useful way of getting around the map quickly.

I would in fact be really sad if they cannot ride a bike because it felt like a big thing for me when I was little, being able to get around quickly and get moving somewhere by myself.

Did I miss something? Is there any news on this. Keeping my fingers crossed.

    You should put this in the question thread for the Livestream. SimGuruFrost popped in.


    Will do :)

    Edit: where is that thread? I haven’t been able to find it.

    Thank you so much! RL is a bit hectic at the moment so I am not as up to date as I usually am on info about coming packs.

    We don't know for sure but doubtful. Anyway bike riding looks on par with jogging, not faster transportation like brooms. Boring if you ask me.

    Guess we will have to wait and see if bicycling will be in other neighborhoods to determine if it will be possible.

    My guess would be NO. Just because a Uni pack is about YAs in college, I don't see them adding game play for kids. I strongly doubt that bikes can be ridden (not rode) in other worlds. I know, I know, there was a tweet that said bikes can be ridden off campus. All that means for sure is that bikes can be ridden anywhere in Britechester, as in other parts that are not the campus, like the town neighborhood. That in no way guarantees us the ability to ride a bike in any other world. Again, as with cars, it's a routing issue and other worlds do not have routes for bikes and I have no doubt that they did not add them. But, they might in the future, probably when they add ocean swimming in all the other worlds too. (sarcasm alert)


    Yeah they never said in any world. Just off campus..


    I agree with you on this but guess we will have to wait and see if EA/Maxis can pull an rabbit out of the hat trick, but not holding my breath.

    Here are the previous two University packs - as you can see anything in the packs was made for University students and not for the people at home. So I suspect Sims 4 University will be the same way. So I really would not expect things for kids at home.

    I know they're holding out information for the stream but because its children riding bikes, I feel like it has nothing to do with the university pack at all.

    So the fact that they're not answering this specific question when they've answered a select few already probably means that the answer is no.







    Which is kinda annoying.


    Or childrens bikes could be coming in the November Update for free? Probaby not though.
