We need transportation!

edited September 2015 in The Sims 4 Ideas Corner
Am I the only one that thinks maybe it would be cool to have some Sims 2 features back that could be in an update for Sims 4? I'm thinking things like calling for a cab, ordering groceries for the fridge (with a slider of how full you want to make your fridge) and other things like that.

This means transportation could return! Of course, you could also buy CARS (yas I said it, cars everybody :smirk:) So you could get in your car, and then the loading screen would turn up so it's more like you're driving. Also talking about transport, they could introduce bus stops where a bus turns up every two sim hours. It would cost a small fee to jump on and ride, but a school bus would also come for the kids on school days. This way it's a little more realistic, and could put people who wish for open neighborhoods more at ease. So, cars, cabs and buses are now in use, without them having to spend months and months on it.

In addition, EA could work on more services for your sims, including repairmen, maids (not 100% sure whether we have these yet, please forgive me if we do), emergency services and the most wanted return of calling for the magnificent GROCERIES! Fridges could now run out of food and you'll need to go online or call over the phone to get more groceries. In the meantime, you can order a pizza from the local Italian :wink:

Would anyone else like this? Or at least a little bit of it, because although the Sims 4 brought a lot of needed features, it missed out on a lot too.

Please comment what your thoughts are too, I think the more threads there are about this stuff the bigger the chance of the Gurus seeing it are.
Happy Simming o:)

    I'd like a repairman, I'm tired of fixing everything myself.

    HI :)

    Yes, there are many people who've been begging/asking/questioning about cars, Service Sims, and Stores... Shopping for books, groceries, clothes, furniture! without it all being Poof'd in my magic fridges, bookcases, dressers- since we found out there wouldn't be any. (even from TS3 days for shopping).

    Now I'm sad again. rmmn2o.jpg

    Transportation as a way to soften the closed world doesn't really appeal to me but lots of people would love it. I certainly wouldn't complain if it happened.

    Now stores and service sims would be a victory.

    I would love to have a grocery store or grocery delivery service. I hate it that my baker sims cannot buy ingredients and instead either have to maintain a garden or just have things they can't bake. I would love it if beyond that, you could pay a premium for better quality ingredients. One of my favorite mods in Sims 3 added a way to buy ingredients from local restaurants if you knew someone who worked there. You could go from low to quite high amounts, gaining better and more rare ingredients as you did so.

    Your title is misleading. I thought something made you think transportation was coming. "I want transportation" or "We need transportation" would be better.

    Yes I want all those things back. The nannies and smart milk of the Sims 2 was awesome too.

    I think this goes in the ideas/feedback section.
    "I'm a Simmer, not a gamer. I feel like my frustration with the game and the reason I don't "get it" is more about a disconnection and confusion with the vision...I'm worried about the future of the franchise."

    Or I'll sometimes just replace it if I'm too lazy to have my sim repair it. LOL!

    The thing I miss the most is the open world environment. I miss that SO much! Riding horses and driving cars through out the world, being able to walk about the world, anywhere you wanted to go... That was a huge part of the game to me.
