Traveling in your game
Anyone else pretending your sims go by plane, train, boats or bus/car when traveling between two worlds? In my Mazaloom I organized a network of various transport options, and I like the idea of kno...

Since we don't have actual cars or planes or ships in game, I admit that my sims just travel wherever they need to be and I don't give it much thought anymore. Considering how small neighbourhoods are they might as well be different areas of the same theme park and they travel just as fast by bicycle or by broom. I would love if we had more interactable means of transportation in game, like the little steam boat in Magnolia Promenade could be used for transport or maybe just for sightseeing, but I don't pretend they use means of transportation that just aren't there.
Haha @ the broom ;) Guess those can be used without a community network and tickets.
I must moderate my original input a bit. My sims will visit a bar or lounge or park etc without a lot of transport logics. They will arrive in a world (in my game they are districts") far away a few minutes after leaving home, even if it's far away. Everyday activities will be less strict, especially if the sort of location only exists one place. I might use this logical thinking more regarding bigger and repete events in life, like getting a job or when picking one of several options. In my game many jobs are tied to specific community lots, and most sims would avoid traveling through the entire nation on a daily basis, but rather get a job closer to home. Train is fine, but airplane seems a bit off 5 days a week, both ways.
I sometimes use the transport map when a household moves, depending on why they move. Or a sim might first look for friends/romances in the same part of the nation where they reside. I have a few private high schools where students can stay at home, so the traveling distance might come into play when picking the school. No rules set in stone, though.
