There's no roads for cars

I think that some areas are intended to never have cars, especially if they're designed as a "getaway" location. Sulani, Batuu, the Magic Realm, even Forgotten Hollow, don't seem like the kind of places we should see cars. Although, I could definitely picture a horse-drawn Victorian hearse in Forgotten Hollow. <3

Forgotten Hollow with its simple circular street is the best place for cars without loading screen. I'm dreaming of Vlad driving around in a 1922 Cadillac ...

Yeah I dunno, I really want cars, but these closed off streets and lots with no driveways are making me doubt if they will ever make them.

My guess is if they are planning to implement cars, they will probably be an item like a garage or a parking spot that you are placing on your lot with an animation of the car driving away.

I'd be happy with a static image of whatever transport method a sim selected was displayed on the loading screen.

In terms of some neighbourhoods not being convenient for cars. Well, that's a thing in a few places round the world where there are initiatives to cut car use.

Funny how your perspective changes depending on where you're from. As an European it feels completely natural that those places don't have room for cars. Many European cities now have started to ban car traffic from several streets making biking / pedestrian streets only.

I guess I just don’t get the obsession with needing cars in the game. And this comes from someone who appreciates and owns some classic vehicles. The aesthetic of some worlds would be completely ruined by cars, which are pretty useless from a functional gameplay standpoint, anyway. I would be disappointed to suddenly see cars in Sulani, Forgotten Hollow, or HOB.

Roads?! Where we're going We don't need Roads!!!

Sims 4: Back to Into The future!

I wouldn't mind the cars being used for lift driving. They could disappear after drop-offs.

Um can I just say that as a Brit who happens to live in the countryside cars are absolutely essential to getting anywhere so they make complete sense in HOB - probably the most sense out of all the worlds tbf!

The driveway problem is easily solved: your sim climbs into their car and are trleported to the nearest road. It's not like they haven't skimped on animations before.

But as much as I want cars, I don't think we'll get them. However, most worlds have clear and unobstructed skies, so riding on dragons is always an option.
