I really hope we get transport back! They can just do it like TS2 style.... where you can call a cab when you want to go somewhere... and carpool to work! It adds a nice touch to the game... rather than just watch them dissapear in front of your house....
Happiness!

I want the full animation of the sims getting into the cars. Not like 3 where they just disappear & all of a sudden they're in the car

Well, the kids still get on a bus, but it does suck that you can't watch them. I remember watching a let's play of TS2 (which I hardly even remember now) and they actually got in the car and backed out of the driveway, and I was absolutely blown away. I miss open world. The way they do it now makes the game run faster, but I miss it anyway. I liked the realistic feel of it. Now they just come and go like ghosts and it's weird.
It looks like it might be an interesting expansion to explore.
Curious about how long it can hold my interest, and kind of looking forward to exploring it.
ughhhh noway! SCHOOL BUSSES!! almost forgot about them
Also imagine that they're adding skateboards! That would be fantastic!
It look more to a security door than a garage door. It also looks as if it were 2 tile width, making me more doubtful that cars will be returning in this EP.
Yeah, it's definitely a security door (as in for a storage locker).
Public transport is something I've wanted since day 1, so I am all for San Myshuno having a mass transit system of some kind. I honestly don't believe cars themselves are worth the trouble (not only are the neighborhoods seriously small, so you'd hit a load screen in like 2 seconds, but Maxis would also have to put some kind of driveway marker on every. single. lot, so that your car had somewhere to actually spawn at when you reach your destination... to say nothing of the neighborhoods that don't even have roads: Windenburg, I'm looking at you).
Honestly, just making a bus stop at the edge of every street would be a much easier approach, since it's only a dozen or so neighborhoods to edit, instead of several dozen lots.
The smartest way to go would be a subway. All you would need is a subway station which could be placed anywhere in any world. You could place one at each of the small neighborhood play parks in WC or OS. Then your sim would walk out of their house, down to the play park, enter the subway and descend the stairs. They could even bring back the subway pick pocket.
I'm afraid that you may be right. Some things they have so well it amazes me, but then, they miss the mark with other things so badly I wonder if the same people are working on the packs day in and day out. It seems as if the first shift are working on something great, then the second shift comes in and pucks it all up. It's like a split personality, you never know who you're dealing with from one day to the next.

wow................ your so right about windenburg.......
how the heck are they going to work around that one....................
I know it was mentioned somewhere (I think the SimGuruTrev message) where he said that they like to prioritize things and some things don't make the cut. Also there has been too much talk about old things not being implemented in the game so that didn't surprise me about cars and transportation.
