hello to all players seen this on twitter could cars be returning to the sims4 via a kit?https://i.imgur.com/behsjoq.jpg seen this on twitter

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).

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

I think cars might be coming in the new GP, but not because of the picture posted. But because of SimGuruNinja's tweet about it will be right up someone's alley. If his tweet about DO was hungry for news, and serving up some fresh information...then alley has to be about cars...right? lol

"Right up your alley" is literally just a turn of phrase that means "the kind of thing you'd enjoy".

I wouldn't read anything more into it than that.

Maybe 'alley' is a red herring. We ought to be looking at 'right'.

But… isn’t an alley too narrow for a car? Like, alleys are usually narrow streets between buildings, or narrow paths/lanes, meant for pedestrians, not cars.

I also really doubt they would suddenly put cars in a kit. Maybe a patch and part of a gamepack/expansion.

I think the twitter comment meant either a weird way of aisle (for wedding/church), a skinny passageway, or garden walkway.

Where I live we have a ton of alleys and they are all accessible by car, only one car at a time though, not like a road, but you can definitely drive a car down them.

They are sometimes between buildings or sometimes behind backyards (we have a lot of garages behind homes that have an alley entrance, meaning you have to drive down the alley then turn into your garage, rather than having an actual driveway on the side of your house).

But, I don't think it's a hint that cars are coming. "Right up your alley" is a pretty common phrase in US when you're conversing with someone about something they'd enjoy. That tweet he responded to was from someone who was inquiring about when more gameplay would be happening.

Original Twitter'er posted:
Digital Food is great, I'm looking for Gameplay, animations, life simulation?

Ninja's Reply:
Gamepack news coming soon! Hopefully right up your alley

Thanks for the info about alleys. :smile:

Yeah, I was aware of the idiom, but sometimes that guru likes to give wordplay from what other simmers said, if he’s even hinting at anything at all.

I’m hoping it’s just an idiom/saying, either way.

The simmer who asked for more animations/gameplay/life simulation likes historical gameplay and does some builds, but also loved life simulation stuff in general, and prefers the more gameplay we got from older Sims games like Sims 2/3, etc, so it makes sense.

So I hope this game pack does have some gameplay. (I doubt cars would be in it, though.)

The “right up your ally” comment could be hinting at a future Expansion or game pack we don’t yet know about. Many people think that Henford on Bagley was a definite hint towards cars as supposedly the first ford(s) were made on A street called Bagley.

An alternative theory:

Hen
Female chicken or other fowl

Ford
A shallow part of a river that can be crossed by wading/riding/driving though it

Bagley
The surname of a developer on the Sims team, a Senior Game Designer called Nicholas Bagley

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.
