When are we finally gonna get cars ??

Well I’d rather have them as an EP than not at all but I think they should ideally be basegame, as well as garages (well, at least garage doors).
Then they could add car racing, car dealerships or garages with a mechanics career, new types of cars etc in an EP.

I think cars would have to come as an expansion pack if they ever come at all. It would have to involve a complete new type world with driveable roads or large special lots for car racing zones or something like that.

It's probably too late in the game though and possibly not able to be done in this iteration.

Nissan used the UK Sims Forum to advertise a couple of new cars as a download for us in Sims 2 once though so maybe a car manufacturer could back a pack tie up as Moschino did. I loved the snob effect of having an up-market car in Sims 2 or one that nobody else had.

Well they’re still torturing us!! I was hoping if we got farming we’d get tractors.....
And I want cars so bad.....the sims team is torturing me!!!!

Yeah, cars in tropical places or the mountain area would be odd.
Perhaps you’d have to place a car park spot or something to allow the car on the lot.

I don’t have Island Living but do the decorative cars drive around there?
I’m playing later so I’ll check the mountain. I wasn’t looking last play as I explored the lower neighbourhood with my Sim walking to where the vending machines were. It was gorgeous views.

So don’t use cars there. There are still plenty of worlds that are designed for cars. Players can move their sims there if that’s the way cars work. It can be totally optional.

I also don’t see why they can’t add flying cars for the places with no roads. This is a quirky game and it could be something you have to buy to use, otherwise you can’t see them flying around.

I do not see it happening as it may be one of those features that will never make it into Sims 4 so EA/Maxis will continue to give me the illusion of cars, bus and trains in the game and what an joke.

We will definitely never get drivable cars, simply because the worlds were not designed for it. We won't ever see a Sim get into a car and drive away, unless the team implements that functionality in specific neighborhoods.

That said, it would still be great to have cars as purchasable, interactable objects that Sims can get inside of, or tinker with.

Tinkering with a car was possible in Sims 2 Freetime. Once repaired you had a useable car. I didn’t get Nightlife until I got Sims 2 Double Deluxe, my first disc wore out. I could only buy stuff packs until I started working. So my first experience of cars for my Sims were the hobby ones to fix up.

Maybe they could use that system to start implementing cars in Sims 4. ?
The more you repair the car, you upgrade your lot to be able to use it. Parking space, unlock additional moves and car alarm etc.
That way players who don’t want cars just don’t place the one to be fixed. Would that work?

@Dianesims I hope we never get cars. However, they can bring back that build a car kit - would be great for handy sims. Sims can build cars, trucks, monster trucks, they can have a monster truck rally venue with competitions and other simmers in the world compete - you get to join them and see it. Now that would be cool. But to actually have cars they drive around in like TS2 and TS3 nah - they don't need them in TS4.
