We still don't have any form of vehicular transportation!
In The Sims 4 we have a closed world. To get to a lot, you have to wait for a loading screen. This isn't any different from previous iterations, except The Sims 3 with its open world. I was bummed out...
I agree. Not sure why they didn't included vehicles or at least the car pool and cab (or open world, though I have a feeling why). And yet a game form 2000 has them.
