Cars would never work in the sims 4.

Maybe, but they worked in the Sims 2 and honestly those are my favorite despite the closed world how they would pull out of the driveway. It was cool building a car from scratch in that game too.

The carpools, limos, taxis, and schoolbuses in the Sims 1 were fun too. Was funny when Drew Carey would show up for popular parties in a limo.

Maybe. It's just that not every lot in the game connects to the road. Some in willow creek, for example, have a fence between the lot and the road.

The only way it would work is if the cars just magically teleported from the lot the road but then how many people are going to be ok with that? And some worlds dont even have a proper road, like the island in windenburg (I believe)

And then we just drive down the road for 2 seconds and get a loading screen? That was acceptable for the sims 2 but what's the point in the sims 4?

That is an interesting and very good point. Base game would need to be recoded probably if they were to be delivered. I know the base game neighborhoods have changed drastically since I bought the game in 2014. There are actual streetlights and crosswalks now, so I think roads to lots would be doable. Well Sims 4 does loading screens for transportation with portals and boats, so honestly I wouldn't mind for cars too and even horses. I actually wouldn't mind more transportation options with bikes or skateboards either. Whole base game neighborhoods would have to be recoded to open world to handle all transportation differently. So no I don't think because Sims 4 is a closed world, cars should be treated any differently from the transportation in the game. I would love if teens got taught how to drive a car while staying in their hood too.

I actually thought of this all day and you are right about the lots. I was thinking where I live there are rural areas. If we do get cars I hope we get four wheel drive and two wheel drive options. That way those lots without a road can drive with the four wheel drive vehicles. I know cars don't have driveways but dirt tire marks in the rural areas. Then for lots not marked rural we could have two wheel drives. Rural lots could be a lot trait like how off-the-grid can be for some lots. Anyway thank you for making me think on this. It was a pleasure talking to someone who really knew and played with the Sims neighborhoods with understanding of routing.
