    what is the point to have a car in a closed world????, for me is pointless have "cars' if we can't use, or to be just a masked rabbit hole O.o(instead of the sim walk and vanish a car come and the sim vanish, still the same rabbit hole but just masked), have a car without at last the open neighborhood is just giving free money to maxi/ea.

    if is about decoration use that mode.

    The point @Ellessarr is to make the game feel more realistic, (it's a life simulator if you forgot) and it's always better than just disapearing, at least you could see some cool animations and interactions with the car. :)

    how have a car which we can't drive be more realistic"???? if is about go to work, you know not all peoples goes on a car to work, and we dont know "how close a person live to the work to need or not a car and again just see a sim enter in a car and vanish still the same of walking and vanish, it's totally pointless have a car and being unable to drive is just give free money to ea/maxis.

    i will use myself as a exemple the first place where i worked a long time ago, was just behind my house, i dont needed a car to go i just needed "walk".

    I would rather have a car stop in front of my Sims house to pick them up for work. A school bus to pick the kids up for school. Even if it goes to a loading screen because its more realistic.

    We might get cars now since you mentioned giving free money to maxi/ea B)

    Even if a Sim worked in a building behind their house, you wouldn't be able to walk to it, the loading screen would kick in ;)
    again the effect will be the same, the car will be there "static" waiting for the sim, then sim enter the car then he move a little and vanish like the sim when goes to work, then how this is more realistic than a sim walking and vanish, the only difference will be being inside a car but the effect still the same.

    have cars like that i could be one to not buy it, if i have a car i want to drive it, not just have it in my house as a deco to make woohoo and vanish in a rabbit hole.

    Are you comparing a Sim to a car? Just trying to understand here. A sim getting in a car and vanishing vs a sim walking and vanishing?
    Either way, they will vanish but again, its all about options, LOL. I would like the option to vanish in a car!

    I loved driving the cars in Sims3. It wont happen in this game though :'(

    Also, there were cars in the base game in the sims 2 if you don't remember, your sims could not own them but there were carpools and school buses and the services vehicles and even those had animations, I think they could at least put those... :(

    I agree. Miss the little things like that.....now my sim kids just up and *poof* to go to school. I'd rather them disappear into a car than that.

    I'm thinking that if they do decide to add cars, they'll probably do it like how our sims jog around their home area without loading....that can be a possibility, but knowing the sims team it would a basic animation of sim get in car (hopefully) and then BAM!!!!!! a loading screen to where you are going. It would be nice to have them back though.

    I can also see them possibly making the trolly and the ship accessible to sims in like an expansion pack to downtown and such maybe.

    I don't see them making the trolly and ship accessible. Its like the backdrop. Just fake :s

    I get what your saying but in the sims 3 the ocean wasn't even accessible but became so through a patch for our sims to swim into, so I don't know I just throwing some wishful thinking into the mix lol

    i'm comparing the way of travel, as you confirmed will still the same, this dont make the game "more realistic" will give a better cosmetic effect but the rabbit hole will still there:

    ok let' me put in that
    you are saying who you could pay a expansion like 20 or 30 buckets to have as the only features in have a car, to be able to make woohoo and get teleported to work inside a car and have a decoration car inside home???(that last option already possible by mod)??? this is wort of a exp????? if it's fore you fine, not for me, if their gonna give me a car, give me a car dont give a deco which already exist in game to just have in home to say "look this game is realist i have a car in my home" but i can't drive it, because it's so realist >.>, ok if you like that fine, but please dont try to make your sound yourself a fool with it(dont take as offense but as a advice). for me the whole point in have a car is being able to use it to go to places on it, what the point to have a mercedes or a ferrari or any other car if i can't proper use it, just to show how i'm rich to have it at my house???? even a collector who love to have many type of cars will agree who even many cars and not being able to drive at last one is s- t- u -pid.

    No one spoke about cars being the only feature in an EP, they weren't the only feature in Nightlife and I honestly don't belive that Maxis will make one just about it, or at least they could sell it as an individual DLC through origin and I don't think it would go to such high price as 20€, 15 maybe if they actually add in lots of vehicles and good car desings with all those animations and stuff included.

    :o Just got home from work a little bit ago, had a few things to do before checking the forums!

    I didn't realize I was making myself look like a fool for having an opinion. I apologize!

    I liked the idea of learning to drive as a teen, but even if you didn't you could still drive as an adult. I think if cars come back you should have to learn before you can drive (even as an adult - you can ask friends/spouse to teach you). If you can't drive, the options are carpools, taxis, public transport (such as the subways/tram (trolley)/train etc.)

    Maybe kids should even learn how to ride bikes before they can cycle (adults too)
    And same with motorbikes/scooters. Learn or can't use them.

    For starters, car dating.

    what you means car dating??? making woohoo inside the car like the telescop??? well and what more??????,
    ok again have a car to "make woohoo and vanish in a rabbit hole is "real life for yours???? for me real life is being able to drive it to where i want even this means go to a load screen, have a "static" object car is not even close to have a car O.o.

    Just learned you can woohoo inside the telescope. Cool!
