Will we ever have drivable cars in TS4?

I mentioned this before; they can go for a ''hybrid'' system between the Sims 2 and the Sims 3 cars.

Sims 2: Have animations to get in/out of the car, listen to music in the car, woohoo in the car etc.
Sims 3: Teleport onto the (nearest) road and drive away.

Neighborhoods without proper roads they can also just teleport away into the loadingscreen.

This is honestly the only thing I can see cars being happening in The Sims 4 (unfortunately).

I'd be fine if they just had the animation of them getting in to the car (TS2 style) and then the car teleports out of the driveway. Still adds more realism than them walking out to the grass and teleporting lol And now that we have brooms I really want the helicopter back because all that did was go up and down to land and take off.

And neighborhoods without proper roads are easily dealt with. Some regions just dont support certain travel. It could be similar to climate where you'll find different transport options in different places. Sulani would be primarily dependent on boats, offroad vehicles and bikes.
I'd love a Venice type world where everyone walks or takes bikes or takes gondolas

A Venice type world would be amazing

Yeah and at least in a Venice type world walking and biking everywhere would make actual realistic sense lol I wouldnt mind the lack of cars in the game so much if it werent for the fake roads and fake cars making walking everywhere look even more ridiculous. Had they given us worlds were driving just isnt much of a thing we'd have probably given them less slack about it. And there are plenty of places like that. Theres a couple of handfuls of towns and cities in the US that are completely or almost completely car free.

I know that car-free places are a thing and that not everyone owns a private vehicle, but it still boggles me that other forms of transportation (other than the ones in IL and DU) don't exist in their world. No buses, carpools, and I think the subways are only implied to exist in San Myshuno, but otherwise have no gameplay impact. Kind of weird for a modern-day life sim

I think cars are coming for 3 reasons

Because we now have boats and bikes

Cause we now have a Transportation Catagory

Cause starting with Get Famous and then Strangerville there is a lot of fake cars in various places.

Also the improved roadways. Sulani aside (which makes sense to be boat dependent) they've made sure not to have any Brindleton-esque homes with no driveways.

Also, I noticed that there are more (fake) cars driving by. My Sims live in Newcrest and it was always a quiet neighborhood, now it is quite loud with all the cars driving by... Or maybe the cars are just louder now, I have no idea what happened.

I believe there will be actual drivable car sometime in 2020 because we now have transportation in build mode. Also, there probably be at least an open neighborhood in the near future.

It would be really cool to see but I feel like at this stage it would be hard to implement or only be achievable if they created a new world dedicated to just cars.

Probably sooner then later. The 20th Annivesary of The Sims is in February. Perfect timing to bring back cars.
