I'm still holding out hope for cars in this game. :D There are still a couple of things you could do with them, gameplay-wise. And now that there's weather, I think it would make sense to drive or take a public transport vehicle when it's raining. ;)

wouldn't it be cool if they made another world they could drive too ? I kind of think so. Just one itty bitty little world they could drive on the streets of. It could have winding roads like California does. #dreaming

If only...

I suppose in existing lots without a connected road, the car could just teleport like sims already do in the game. Owning and riding cars in this game still has a lot of storytelling and roleplaying potential in any case.

what kind of scenarios ?
If they just teleport that's no fun

Yeah, I'd like for them to actually move, but not all the lots in the game have connecting roads. :(

And I usually roleplay when I play The Sims games. I could roleplay a family of 5, and owning cars would help with the immersion, because a lot of families IRL own cars. And if a storyteller player wanted to do a transition scene of sims riding from one place to another, or a scene set inside a car, it would help a lot if cars were actually in the game.

A lot of people keep saying that cars would be pointless because sims already teleport and that there's no open world, but a) not everything has to be about practical gameplay in an aesthetically-focused game like The Sims, and b) The Sims 2 had no open world and was able to pull cars off. It even had carpools in the base game!
