Yeah I definitely agree.
But maybe instead of just getting into the car/vehicle and going to the destination, there could also be activities/actions to do in the car. It could be like an optional event you get to do in the car (like a birthdays/parties), and there could be a timer set, and that could be the amount of time it takes to get to the destination. For example, if the commute to a sims job is one hour, within that one hour a sim could:
~ turn on the radio/sing along
~ they could talk to other passengers in the car. For example:
*Complain about traffic
*Ask to change radio station
*Ask how long left until there
*Etc.
And with the option of being able to do things in the car, TS4 could also introduce the idea of road trips (when the sims go to different wordls; Oasis Springs to Willow Creek) With this idea the sims could:
~ pack snacks
~ play car games (ex. license plate game)
~ get moodlets for the road trip
~ also a new world could be introduced in which there are
*a bunch of monuments/attractions the sims could see while on the trip
*small restaurants/fast food
*motels
*etc.
Of course in order to achieve all this, more vehicles need to be introduced so that the sims could buy cars and stuff
I also think the idea of a school bus is cool that goes to a house at like 7:45, and if a sim isn't ready, they miss it and get a moodlet from missing it. Also there could be other options such as:
~ socializing/gossiping with friends on the bus
~ doing last minute homework on the bus
~ reading on the bus
~ getting assigned seats on the bus
I know pretty much all of this is a BIG reach, but I think with additions like these and others, TS4 could really be improved.
