could cars be returning to the sims4 look at the screenshot?

People have been using those debug cars forever. Hope they don't put cars in a kit, though.

Just a debug car sadly and the garage door from City Living a lot of us players have been forced to play pretend with cars since release.

Here's a portion of an interview with one of the Guru's prerelease of Sims 4.

Simified: Will Sims be able to have and own cars? Will cars in The Sims 4 have functions similar to The Sims 2 (opening doors, etc.) or will they be like The Sims 3?

Grant: Sims will definitely be able to own and have cars! As far as how they will function, I cannot comment on that yet. I do know that opening doors, like in The Sims 2, would require a lot from our animations team, so this may or may not happen.

Yeah 7 years later they don't care about us players who need cars in our game just another empty promise that will never come if they were possible prerelease why 7 years later do we still not have them.

Kits are way to small for cars but cars could come in a Free Update.

Opening doors requires a lot from the animation team…. What??

I don't think this particular picture is a hint. It comes from a Sims Community post. Here's the link to the original https://simscommunity.info/2022/01/30/the-sims-4-story-starter-kit-father-knows-best/

If I'm not mistaken, this is a picture of the house the family is going to live in and uses a debug car. People have been decorating with the debug cars for a while. That said, it is possible we may get cars at some point. I'd be open to the idea of them being in a kit *IF* they add cars to the base game and then use the kit as a way to do extra stuff with them (like an auto repair kit or something).

I think there were hints to cars in the name of the Cottage living pack. I would assume they would come in an expansion pack if we get them. Maybe with a Mechanic career, a gas station/mini market, or something like that. I do hope we get cars.

Cars should be in an expansion pack so we get a good amount of items.
I’m not sure a game pack would be enough.
A stuff pack wouldn’t do cars justice.
A kit would be a no.

They could add cars in a patch, like they added toddlers. They need to add the basic gameplay and at least a few models. If they add mechanic career and car repairs and upgrades and other significant gameplay would be ok to add in a pack.

I've made put together a nice idea about cars with a gas station and mechanic shop and a car lot to buy them from. Car wash would be neat too. I think a few will be in a free update if they do it at all. Little roller cars for toddlers, bikes/4 wheelers/ect for kids, and motorcycles, side by sides, antique cars, vans, and trucks would be great. Car woo-hoo, infants freed so they can go in car seat would be nice.

Oh my goodness... sounded to me like:

We will give you some cars, sure, but our animations team, they can't even get the car door to open. Enjoy your debug car deco items. -Grant

:joy: :joy: :joy:

10 years later ... Animations team! Don't listen to this Grant person! Keep trying to get that car door open! You can do it! We have faith in you! -Simmers :heart:

Seriously though, if they can't, how about a motorcycle?? Or a car that lets you tinker with it on the driveway to build mechanical skill? Who got the door to open on the space rocket?? Can they make a flying car?

Nope. Not in a kit. Not in a stuff pack. Game pack could possibly work.

Yeees, motorcycle would be great! A sidecar!!! OMG, I got too excited.
