Why do some reviewers keep saying there are no cars?

There are many cars in the Sims. Its true that they no longer drive up to take you to work, but that also means that a random cat can't hold up your car can make you miss your entire work day.

I just don't understand why they would make the no car claim

    Well.... if they have a way to implement cars in a way that will not result odd things (such as a car being blocked from moving resulting in a sim missing a day of work) then it could be cool.

  • In previous sims games cars were functional: 

    Sims 1: cars are the only way to leave the lot 

    • to leave the lot your sim had to call a taxi, wait for the taxi to arrive in front of the lot and walk up to the taxi to get in (no animation)
    • Your sim would be picked up by a carpool car to go to work . If they miss the time window of the car, they miss work . 

    Sims 2: again cars are essential to leave the lot. A later expansion added the option to walk of the lot 

    • taxi, same as sims 1 but with an animation to get in
    • All NPC would arrive with their own car 
    • Carpool to get to work 
    • Nightlife and free time added cars your sims can own. No more waiting for a taxi, just get in and go with their own car 
    • Woohoo in cars
    • Freetime also added the possibility to work on a car

    Sims 3: the open world made cars feel even more useful 

    • sims can call a taxi and you can see the taxi driving to the destination on the map
    • Sims can own a car and you can follow the car on the open world
    • Adults can teach teens to drive 

    Sims 4

    Cars are moving neighbor decorations only with no way to interact with them and no purpose or effect on your sims life. Sims just teleport on and off lots.

    Controlling and driving a car like in GTA is obviously not in the sims but for realism many simmers want some sort of functionality

    I didn't play Sims 2 and 3, so I find myself asking if there have been drivable cars?

    Of course, to me a drivable car would be a car that you control. Not one that you just climb into and it takes you somewhere.

  • Because there's no driveable cars.   Simmers want driveable cars not non-driveable cars.
