What's your prediction for cars in TS4?

If it would come.. my prediction is that
1. You can build garage or parking area on lot. (Sims with car keys(owned cars) will park while other sims just travel normally)
3. Cars will fade out from lot to on road like in TS3 but with a little animation when sims goes travelling before loading screen. (Or not?)
4. Clicking on cars option would allow us to travel anywhere we want without need to go to map.
5. Interactions : woohoo, play stereo, nap in car, storage, travel (by listing or go to map), wash, repair, upgrade, repaint, attach stickers/props, sabotage... some of these can be group activities.
6. You can ask butler as personal driver.

What's your ideas? It could be different from my perspective. I just didn't know whether or not we will have these.

    Everything you mention above is what I imagine we might get with The Sims 4 and I'd be happy with that.

    I'd be happy with everything except for 3, but I don't see any way around it taking into account the way worlds are designed...

    If it would happen on only roadside venues?

    If we ever get cars, I honestly just predict them to have a 'Travel...' interaction that goes to map view and that's it... (similar to the elevators)
    Sure there would probably be an option for garages but that's about it...

    That's all I predict, I just think this game's engine wasn't made for cars, since the sims in TS4 NEVER use any kind of vehicle...

    To be honest I don't really miss cars in the sims 4. The only thing I really enjoyed with cars was during the days of TS2 where sims could make there own as part of freetime.

    I would be happy with cars being teleporting device that just disappear on the spot, as long as we have entering/exiting animations, various interactions with them (like fixing/tinkering) and garages to put them in.

    Cars in TS4 really confuse me because the driveways to the lots seem like they might not be able to use them. It would make no sense to have the car first fade from the garage to the road and then fade another time when the sim drives away from the neighbourhood. I'm thinking maybe we could have the car on out lot with a travel option (like @Omri147 said), but there would be no actual driving unless perhaps in a EP dedicated for road trips or car racing or whatever.

    We now have an aeroplane icon when traveling on the map view, obviously they would change that and maybe re-design the loading screens to show our transportation vehicle (like in TS2). I also wonder how car pool, bus & NPC vehicles would work. Maybe those could spawn in the neighbourhood for our sim to catch the ride, then drive forward a bit until vanishing again. Would the deco traffic get in the way? There would also have to be boats for Windenburg! With all the platforms ready it might be a possibibility. But then City Living would need to have a metro...

    I don't think they would miss the chance to add cars, but it would take whole GP or EP focusing on transportation :worried:

    I dont really miss cars in ts4. I imagine if they put them in they will be similar to ts2 cars.
    What I do miss are bikes (for adults and kids), strollers and brooms. :p All these could easily be used in the "districts" without a loading screen (ride around, visit a nearby lot with it ect.). Especially on a map like Windenburg or a future bigger map.

    Not to derail the thread but I'd LOVE a GP focused on kids and toddlers with strollers, bikes (and you need to teach your kid how to ride them!), skateboards, pedal cars for toddlers, etc. I'd have this over vanishing cars without driveways.

    Eta: I'd also like them to address the issue of insta-travelling. I'm not completely against the current teleporting system but I hate it that my sims leave their house in WillowCreek at 6pm and arrive to their destination in Oasis Springs at 6:01pm. This game is also about time management so travelling time should be taken into account.

    This would really help the game. I'm hoping for something like this towards the end of the year or maybe next year. The sooner the better.

    I love the various interactions you listed! Hopefully they will take another approach to cars than before, and focus on interactions inside and outside of the cars, since actually making them drive on roads is pretty much impossible at this stage. I imagine you will click on the car to travel, get inside and then immediately be taken to the loading screen. When going to lots without parking space, the car will probably simply sit in your inventory.

    I wonder what kind of theme they could combine this with? It doesn't seem like enough for a Game Pack, maybe a Stuff Pack?

    I'm not into cars but if it means we don't get loading screens I'm fine with that.

    Those are mod or cc cars and probebley maxis in game cars would have the car animations like TS2 cars did.

    Cars wouldn't stop the loading screen. You'd still hit a loading screen but we could have all the fun in car animations like woohooing,chatting ect.

    A patch would be awesome! :D But I think they won't give that much for free after the huge toddlers patch, they want to make profit too. :P

    If they add cars I think it will have to come with a new neighborhood? I doubt if the existing neighborhoods have roads where cars can drive.

    Hi, you again, I'd like to add that those cars aren't drivable. They just stand there and the only difference is your sims teleport standing next to them, instead of standing somewhere else before teleporting.

    I don't really care about cars because they won't take your sims anywhere quicker, it will be the same time as it would take you walking as a sim.

    Cars aren't high on my wishlist, but if cars do return I hope that they're implemented similar to TS2. By that I mean cars with full animations of sims getting in/out of the car, backing up and driving down the street before they faded away. None of the TS3 teleporting (which felt lazy).

    The way Sims 4 is made - I say no vehicles of any kind unfortunately as I love sims vehicles - but the game so far can't support map roads.

    I don't think we are getting cars or at least fleshed out as I would like because of the way some of the lots are away from the roads. I never liked the way in TS3 where they just faded into the car before it drove off and much preferred the TS2 way where you see them get into the car, sometimes struggle with the door on the older cars before driving off the lot. I don't mind if it then fades out TS2 style at the edge of the lot but the immersion was in seeing them actually walk up and get into the car and see it leave the drive or front of the house in the case of the carpool.
