O.K, this is going to be a long post. I've thought about this for a while, and here are my ideas for a Cars themed EP (some of these may have already been said):
World: Plumbob Speedway
Similar to Granite Falls but instead of a vacation world, it has a drag strip, dirt round track, asphalt round track, car show lot, car dealerships, mechanic shop, auto body shop, junk yard, auction lot, and car wash.
Aspirations: Car Enthusiast:
-Classic Car Enthusiast: Build your collection of antique cars
-Sports Car Enthusiast: Build your collection of high octane, high speed racers
-Luxury Car Enthusiast: Build your collection of the most luxurious cars
-Master Mechanic: Tied to Handiness skill and new mechanic skill. Work on car engines and be able to build a Super Engine
-Master Body Man/Woman: Tied to Handiness and body work skill. An engine is great and all (and very important) but these Sims are artists and can make even the biggest rust bucket look brand new.
-Dealership Mogul: Work your way from a "lemon" car dealer to the biggest luxury car dealer
Traits:
Lead Foot/Speed Demon: These Sims love the feel of being thrust into the driver's seat from doing high speeds. What's the point of owning a fast car if you always do the speed limit?
Grease Monkey/Mechanic: These Sims don't mind getting their hands dirty. They get a boost in mood when in the garage tinkering on engines
Auto Body Artist: Creativity comes in all forms and these sims' canvas is the body of a car. While other sims see a rusty pile of bolts as ruined, these sims see the untapped potential to make a beautiful masterpiece.
New Gameplay:
-Build, tinker, race, drive, wash, paint cars.
-Kids can work in the garage with adult supervision. They can give the proper tools to mom/dad. They can also pretend to fix their toy cars with their own tool playset
-Teens learn to drive. They also get more freedom to work in the garage with mom/dad
-Give gift (car) to teens
-Take away driving privileges from teen
-Cars breakdown and have to be repaired.
Careers:
Car Dealership: Buy, sell, trade cars
Mechanic: Oil Changes, repair engine, change tires, install car alarms
Auto Body Technician: Repair the body on the car, paint, and restore cars
Build/Buy Objects:
-Cars (obviously): American Muscle, Project Cars, Everyday drivers, sports cars, luxury cars, family cars
-Garage Doors
-Garage Clutter: Oil cans, gas cans, wrenches, tools on walls, car posters, tires stacks
-Gameplay objects: Engine hoists, car lifts, tire machines, paint booths, motorized toy cars for kids to drive around, tool playset for kids
-Car themed furniture: Car seats as chairs, sofas; tires stacks as end tables, race car beds for kids
-Kids garage playset--like the dollhouse
