Simulating life has nothing to do with cars. Not everyone in the world has a car.

Not everyone has pets, lives in a city, is part of a club, or is a doctor either. What's your point?

My point is that this version is not now, or ever will be set up to drive cars like in past versions. At best, maybe.....maybe, they will be objects like any other object that can raise a skill or serve a purpose, but never, ever for cruising the hood.

Perhaps. For the first time, lots aren't explicitly connected to the road. Maybe we won't get cars, or maybe we will. I'd like to keep the possibilities open for the more plausible options (CASt probably won't come because they'd have to go back and apply it to everything, for example). And I think transport-based cars could still be possible with some tweaks. I mean, I thought toddlers would never come back, and I was wrong, so I'm more open this time.

I would eat my own hat if we get cars for free. I’m not even sure due to the layout of the worlds functional cars are a possibility. It is immersion breaking though having no cars, car pools amd school buses. This game doesn’t like transport!

its simple, they function the same way they did in the sims 2. The sims 2 did cars better then the sim 3 as there were driveways and car door animiations. Not just a sim walking to the curb and teleporting into the car. You wouldnt be able to watch sims cars going around town but having them drive on or off the driveway and then off down the street then you hit a loading screen .

Not really some of the worlds don’t have functioning roads outside the lot.

And some lots dont have clear access to the road. Not big enough for a car to come through.

Cars could be a great addition, even if they are only objects. Forget about driving or transportation and think on what can be done with a car object and ask the devs for that.

For example:
1. mechanic skill
2. auto restoring skill
3. listening to the radio
4. making out
5. woohoo
6. catching teenagers making out
7. star gazing in a convertible
8. child/toddler pretending to be a racecar driver with animations (similar to play object with pirate or space animations)
9. décor (having a car in the driveway for realism)
10. a place for your cat to climb on (my cat always left footprints on my hood)

These are just a few off the top of my head. I'm sure other players could think of more.

But people are going to want to drive and its not really going to work out nicely in this version of the sims.

If it hasn't occurred to those people yet, then let me enlighten them. There is absolutely no form of transportation in this game and there probably never will be. No cars, no bikes, no skateboards, no boats, no buses, no trains, no planes, no hot air balloons, nothing, zip, nada!

There might be exercise bikes or roller/ice skates and, if we're lucky, cars as objects, but no forms of transportation.

For Pete's sake, they added a boat to C&D but your sim doesn't even get into it before they teleport.

I'm wondering if you said the same about toddlers because I heard similar reasoning with people saying things like "this game was never built to implement toddlers" "Sims cant pick up babies they would just put them in their inventory this is why babies are locked to the bassinet you will never get toddlers" and yet we have toddlers if they put the time and effort I say its possible will they who knows.

Actually according to Sims VIP there had been coding since the base game for toddlers

Yeah, that wouldn't be surprising considering that they just needed more time to implement pools and toddlers.

I dunno if anybody said this already but my guess is theyll unlock the color wheel from CaP throughout CaS

Whether we get cars in a patch or not, I don't know. But I don't understand why people say cars are impossible just because we've never had means of transportation before? Sims 2 didn't have it for a loooong time, and just bc TS3 had transportation from the beginning people seem to think it's not possible to implement it any other way.

Actually we got cars in the sims 2 in Sept 2005 with the second EP Nightlife. Only a year after release. Before that we had the illusion of cars with carpools, school buses and taxis. Sims 4 doesn't even have that. I think @Dannydanbo is correct, we may get cars as some sort of object but not as transportation. Look at the boat in BB - totally fake. I don't even consider that a form of transportation since the load screen kicks in when your sim is half way there. So many of the worlds and lots don't have functional roads alongside them for cars to use.

I'd like new CAS items - I just never feel we get enough of those.
