idk I would love cars but I don't see too much practicality in having them in Sims 4.
In Sims 2 cars were great because after you called a Taxi you had to wait for it to arrive on your lot, same with going to work, you had to wait for the carpool that came to get you an hour before work started. Your sim owning a car meant that they could leave later for work and leave earlier to go to where ever they were going!
In Sims 3 it worked because of the open world, though I do have an off topic question: was the carpool supposed to stop after buying a car for your sim in Sims 3? Because in my 10 years of playing I could never get the carpool to actually NOT come. But anyway it worked because otherwise, we'd spend most of the sim day watching our sims walk from point A to Point B.
In Sims 4 you open the phone and your sim just falls off the face of the earth, there is no waiting for a certain object to appear to take you somewhere. You just go. I could see a real benefit to cars if they revamped how traveling worked, where they would have to wait for a taxi or SimUber or something to get to work or for traveling to other lots. Otherwise, I see the dev team adding them as nothing other than just decor, which there is already CC for cars out there as decor.
And if they do add cars I dont want to see them just teleport into the vehicles, like how the do with Jetskis and Boats and Cars from Sims 3. I would love to the see the finer details like Sims 2 had, where the junk cars they had to slam the door twice to get it to close, I want to see them actually enter the vehicle and drive down the drive way.
