After playing TS3 and watching YT videos from TS2, I really miss cars! It’s just something I hate about the way sims just disappear off the lot into thin air that drives me away from the game(no pun intended). I try to use bikes every time my sims travel but there’s no “auto use” button, so it becomes tiring. They could work similar almost identical to TS2 cars (which were the best in the franchise obviously), and with the way they’ve made bike animations for bikes I have high hopes they’d do this for cars. I’m praying so hard that the “big announcement” :# and with the way they have every other mode of transportation in the game, and countless vehicle hints in game I don’t see what’s the hold up!

personally i think cars in TS4 would be redundant. the loading screens in the game already do what cars would hypothetically do. i just don't think cars would be a worthwhile addition to TS4, especially since it's not open world

It doesn’t have to be just “Sims get into their car and drive off.” There’s repairing cars, car woohoo, radio, teaching teens to drive, real garages for homes, etc. Heck even TS1 and Freeplay have cars so I don’t see what’s holding TS4 back

How will you have cars in places like San Myshuno, no room for a garage or places like Sulani which have no room for a Garage, hell where exactly will you drive a car to? the edge of the neighbourhood cause unlike the bikes they cannot maneuver through tight corners or in interiors.

I know there are people who want them really bad, so I'd like them to come in a pack so I don't have to use them. I actually really like the worlds without cars.

Cars would obviously be placed in your inventory the same way boats and bikes are. The Spice district for example (since it wouldn’t support garages) they can appear from your inventory and they’d drive off into a loading screen the same way they did in 2. The same thing they did with open water they’d have to make more worlds in the future that’s functional with cars in all areas. And cars are optional so you can still use the phone ?‍♂️

I don't care too much about cars in general, but I'd still like to have them in the game. A lot of people have been asking for cars, and I wouldn't mind them for the sake of realism, especially in terms of the family homes I build. If repairing cars was also implemented I'd be pleased as I've had some sims who could fit the type to care and invest a lot of time on their cars. It would just add something to the game and that's always welcome, big or small, but if we don't get them I'll live.

i agree. that way everyone gets what they want. people who want cars in game can have them and people who don't can choose not to. it's a compromise

Yes, they are functionally redundant. There’s no arguing that.

But for me they go a long way towards immersion. Just pulling out of the driveway and disappearing down the street in a car is preferable to sims walking everywhere. And having cars in the driveway just feels right.

I would really like to have cars too, while we already have fast travel I guess they could add bonuses if you use a car, like adding options to stop at a rest stop to fill your hunger or other needs.

There are also a lot of gameplay mechanics they could add, like having a car condition and being able to fix it with a new skill or pay for repairs, buy used cars with lower conditions and be able to fix a car and sell it for more money, fuel economy, customization and upgrades and maybe even racing as rabbit holes.
