A youtuber I watched said "Henford on Bagly" is a hint to Henry Ford on Bagley Street (I hope I spelled that correctly). But I still can't understand why people want cars. They're not going to open the worlds up Sims 3 style because the game engine is different and even bikes and boats make no sense in these smaller neighbourhoods we have. Not every house has a road off of it. Cars are only good if they can be driven. Any "cars" they give us in game won't be drivable, thus rendering them useless.

I disagree Sims 2 had cars they worked great the world was not open they were also not useless but instead added a touch of realism to the game making your Sims spot in the world feel a little more alive. I see no fun in firefighters poofing onto the lot or if cops are ever added poofing off with the burglar instead of putting them in the back of the car.

I do agree not all worlds are set up for cars in which they could add bus stops, taxis, boats seriously anything but my Sims poofing across the world.

Sims don't just "poof" off the world. They walk to a designated teleport spot and then leave. Would you prefer something like the wormhole generator to show where the teleport spot is?

Which is even worse. The other day my vampire was walking down the street in the sun to walk down the block to teleport to work. Makes much less sense than Sims 2 cars did. May as well get rid of walking altogether if theres no cars. Sims 5 wont need stairs! Sims can just teleport everywhere. We can just pretend they live in the future ?

As far as I'm aware, sims should teleport to work just off the edge of the lot. And why do you have a vampire that burns in the sun working a day job in a lot other than Forgotten Hollow, anyway? You should always plan ahead before turning any sim you're gonna play into a vampire. And if all else fails, just reload your save file.

Lets just get rid of walking then! They can teleport everywhere. Bring back that bug where all sims just poofed up and down the stairs! Make it a feature. All we need is decor stairs!

Walking is not the same as riding in a car. Cars need roads to drive on. Walking is the basic thing any game can do.

And what do you call the big grey strips outside of most homes? Not roads i suppose? They're FX like roads in Sims 2 and Sims 1 which also had cars were so... i dont see your point.
We can still get rid of walking. Sidewalks can be decor! Like those big grey things you dont think are roads

Things like that are better suited to modders than being implemented by the Sims team. This isn't the Sims 2 or 3. They'd have to rework every single neighbourhood. I'd much prefer a new pack with decent gameplay items and a new world. They don't have unlimited man power. I don't personally need cars to make the experience better. I don't even have a license, so maybe that's why. There are already small cars in game that you can size up as well as cars hidden in the buydebug catalogue. I think there is more of a need for family gameplay and age-specific activities than cars.

They are already reworking everything anyway lmao Heard of the pack refreshes? ?

Well then even more reason to get rid of walking! Instead of them wasting time on bikes and other future transportation methods they can give us family gameplay! Like going for long teleports to a rabbithole with a stroller or whatever it is families do with their spawn.

This right here.

There is so much gameplay that we could get with cars. Parents driving their kids to school, having to actually learn how to drive, teens driving, fixing car, listening to music in car, new career (driver, mechanic), bus picking up kids, adults, taxi, kids playing in car, woohoo. Plus the whole thing of them just not dissapearing from a lot but rather sit in a car and drive of.
I understand it would require some changes to most of the worlds but not long ago we couldnt swim in any worlds but here we are now.
And also, some worlds dont even need changing. I mean, its obvious you dont need a car on an island, or in the middle of a town etc.
It is possible and I still have hope for it.
If they add it as a free update it should have an option to turn it off an on, or just dont use it if you dont like it.
Not everyone is going to like everything added to the game, thats fine. But me, as so many people actually want cars so much.

Personally I feel that would be pretty rude if it is, we doing hints about things that they are not gonna make for this game now?

I always find it peculiar when folks say :

“Due to my personal preference there is more need for this and this and such and such. The team should not waste resources on what others want, only on what I want. What others want doesn’t matter and they should just get a mod for that.”

Why should a team waste their unlimited manpower on freeing babies or family gameplay when they could instead rebuild the worlds so other simmers can drive their cars? Just get a family gameplay or baby mod or whatever. I couldn’t care less.

But in reality I don’t talk like that because I can appreciate every simmer’s wants. Those wants are equally valid.

The only time I may refer to mods is when people are asking for content related to extremely sensitive subject matter such as disabilities or content that exceeds the teen rating.

Other than that, man, there are so many ways to implement cars in the Sims 4.
If folks just can’t see it after the many many threads about how cars CAN work in this game, it’s time they stop wasting their energy on even thinking and talking about it.

I think occasionally Simmers may feel that if a pack/update that they don't want is being developed then it delays the release of things that they do want.

It's easy to forget that we are sharing our beloved game with millions of other players. It's really easy for Sims to feel like it's made especially for you and only you (so how dare they release a pack that you don't want), but it is important to remember that the "ideal Sims game" is different for everyone.

I don't particularly want cars myself, but lots of other people (who love Sims just as much as me) do, so if it happens I'm happy for them and I'll just wait and hope that my ideal pack is made one day.

Also, yes, there are mods for things but not everyone has access to mods! (Or wants to use them).

As for the hint, is this a story about someone driving their loft away during a dramatic chase scene? :lol:

I thinks there's been more possible hints that have turned out to be nothing rather than something lately. I don't know if this is a hint or not, but I do suspect we'll be getting cars soon. My fingers are crossed for those who want that. :smile:
