This is what Sims 4 is lacking

No, I didn't like the way travel worked in The Sims 3 when I played it back in the time.

And that's because I played The Sims 2 before, where you do get to see Sims driving, even if it's only to the border of the screen, but you also get to see cars leaving garages and not teleporting from it, or hell, teleporting from the Sims' inventory (!!!), that was so immersion breaking for me at the time because it was indeed, a very inferior experience when compared to what we had in The Sims 2, and just because it got even worse in The Sims 4 doesn't retroactively make it not a direct downgrade in The Sims 3.

That journey did not matter to me because it wasn't immersive, I hated to see it happening, taxis materializing from thin air even if you didn't want to have a car, hell, and all the times your Sims took the most ???? paths that caused then to get in a cab, ride it for 10s, get out of it, get another cab, ride it for another 10s, then get out of it and walk some more.

In The Sims 2 you first called a cab, had to wait for it to arrive and only then you would ride to the destiny, that was immersive.

The Sims 4 didn't exist at the time, so I couldn't have known things things would've gotten even worse from there.

That was my point. I'm not denying you your opinion, you were clearly bothered by those aspects. My post however was in reaction to your statement that I go out of my way to avoid 'the more frustrating aspects' of The Sims 3. You were filling in for me there how I feel and I corrected that. That aspect that you hate, I genuinely happen to love. And the aspect that you love (a car leaving a garage) leaves me indifferent (I played Sims 2, I experienced it). I was very charmed by a lot of other aspects in TS2 (mainly the interactions between sims, the variety in animations, their liveliness), but just not that.
