What are you looking forward to with cars?

I would like to see cars in game, some classics, sofops were sims can watch stars and ordinary car just a few sports, I'd prefer it if sims cant get them unless they have worked so many hours to get the money to buy them kinda thing and would expect them to cost a lot. Motorbikes I'd love to see ingame and bikes for toddlers and child
Having them breakdown and sim having to call repair or learn to fix it themselves.
I wouldnt want cars if the sims couldnt actually drive them and just had to sit in the driveway because well, whats the point?

I want a convertible.

If Cars are added, and added to the Base Game, then when an Eco Pack Comes out, they can add Electric Cars. I liked that they added Ecological Items to the Sims 3, but I don't like that most of them are now unavailable (like the Prius Cars).

What would you have to put on the property to plug them in? A big old fat outlet, oversized, no doubt and taking up half the yard. lol joking, but not really. Then that leads to where is that outlet getting that power? Now we have to add a generator another overisized object, and then where is that generator getting that power, power plant or windmils, and if it's not windy, where does the Sim get power, if the wind stops blowing? I think they could go down many avenues if they want to make me believe that is an electric car.

Then who is running a power plant so Sims can drive an electric car? and what type of power, and won't they need employees, lol and then they will also need the source...sun..wind..oil..etc. Then that leads to who is mining those sources and more jobs, and more Sims generated to do those jobs. I always wanted a game where things connected in various ways to make it believable. Sim City is a good example.

OMG. I am house shopping for my sims, and its so sad?!?!? I want a house with garage but there's no cars in the sims 4!!?? I cannot wait until cars are added.. ::crossing fingers it happens in 2018::

Who is running the power plant so a sim can turn on a light or the TV? Who's running the water treatment plant and pumping station so sims can drink water from the tap? Let's not delve into the silly impossibilities of the game.

Sim City Light and Power - every simmer knows that - well the ones who played Sims 1 anyway.

I'm sure some modder will make us some gorgeous sports cars, remember Fresh Prince?

Oh be still my fluttering heart...YES! I do remember Fresh Prince. The at one point I wondered why he never made my favorite (at that time) car, the Dodge Neon, haha. Yes indeed, I most certainly remember :)

Guys, sorry to disappoint you but usable driveable cars are impossible due to game engine
Maybe we can kiss and woohoo in them yes but unfortunately the main feature (driving) is impossible..
They'll have to reprogram the engine so the moving decor cars in the background can be removed and replaced them with real usable cars..
You think EA would do that for us? Lol

If that's the case why were they mentioned in numourous surveys and why did a simguru ask for suggestions if they do bring them back?

Because they meant it like a garage GP, you can fix and rev car engine like in sims 2 freetime and we'll have interactive cars parked IN LOTS but they probably won't be usable on roads.

Did you read the survey?

Get behind the wheel of different vehicles including cars, trucks, and motorcycles. Fix up old cars, build a hotrod, or jump in your ride and explore a number of unique tourist destinations... another part of the survey says... Your Sims can now choose from a wide variety of vehicles to own and drive including cars, trucks and even motorcycles.

This sure looks like its more than fixing up your car in a garage both driving and fixing cars are mentioned multiple times not just working in a garage.

Man I sure hope we see cars soon and I hope they'll do a Livestream on cars like they did with Toddlers.

I'm not particularly interested in watching my sims drive around in cars, cellphone teleport works for me. To make cars interesting at the very least there should be some gameplay like setting your driving style similarily to your work options. Going faster might end up the sims having to pay a fine and driving slower might get another car (probably even a playable for who´m I defined a reckless/impatient driving style before) crash into yours from behind. Chance cards might be a nice addition, too, for those who like them. I like the concept of chance cards, but often either the scenario described is unlikely (space exploration is a little different from the fantasy rocketship chance cards) or the wording doesn't sit well with me (probably due to a generations and/or cultural values dissonance).

However, I'd love to get the second aspect mentioned in the survey! It would be exiting if they made the garage work the same as the vet career: Players can use all the equipment at home with not restrictions, but if you want you can also get the full experience by buying and running a garage.

Sit in it, turn on radio, make out, and woohoo just like Sims 2 cars. Hopefully they work like Sims 2 as well and not like Sims 3, but if fade on and off the driveway it must then so be it. Long as it drive down the road and we hit the loading screen like Sims 2 it should be fine. Modders will expand cars for us so Maxis just needs to deliver a stable framework.
