Basically like both the TS2 and TS3 Store Car. I'd want one we could rebuild and repair and then the normal cars.
I'd love to see convertables
Also I'd love the option to see sims opening doors to get in and out,listen to the radio,chat,kiss,cuddle,makeout and woohoo and try for a baby.
No fogging of windows when sims makeout like in TS2 I want to see them like we could in the TS3 Store Car.

I know. Just want you and the developers to see what the community at large would like to see implemented just in case you do decide to.
Ideas would include:
- Sims learning to drive in a new 5-level driving skill - mastering it earns you a license
- Sims can become mechanics in an all new active mechanic career based out of a new car garage lot type
- Mechanics will also need to work on the new 10 level Mechanic skill which will unlock the ability to upgrade your cars in different ways (underbody lights, custom horns, hydraulics) and could include unlockable items like a tow truck, garage items like tool chests, etc.
- Cops! This game pack could also introduce police officers (and police cars!) to the series with them being able to pull over your Sims (off-screen) for driving without a license, speeding/getting in an accident (low-level driving skill) or even for having a broken headlight (need to fix your car by bringing it to a garage or repairing it yourself!)
- Bicycles and motorcycles should be introduced in this pack, with bicycles being available for children and up - maybe even a cute little tricycle for toddlers!
EDIT: It's important for the Gurus to understand that we don't necessarily want cars just to serve as transport from point a to point b, because in the Sims 4 we can just teleport. Therefore in-depth skills, upgrades, new lot type (garage), new career, etc. all become more of the focus rather than just driving like in TS3.
And new animations of course. Imagine our sims parked at a lookout cuddling under the stars in their car.
Love that this shows how invested you are in what the fans would like to see in the series - best part of having the Gurus interact with us!

This is really awesome! I would love a pack like this.
Normal and vintage cars would be nice too. Would be nice if Sims could upgrade it. I would love kids to be able to build soap box cars too and have toy cars. I really didn't like the poof animation for cars in the Sims 3, so I'd really like to see cars actually pull out of driveways again like the Sims 2 and have an alarm system. I wouldn't mind teens learning how to drive again too. I really hope there is a school bus, carpool, and taxi patch too and NPCs cars of course. I don't know why I want go karts at some point too but doesn't have to be in the same pack. Scooters, motorcycles, bikes, snowboards, and skateboards wouldn't be bad either. Oh cars being able to hold surf boards for a potential beach pack wouldn't be bad either. I want to see Sims and their children and babies ride in the cars and the animation to put them in there too. I wouldn't mind ADA car options either. I guess there are a lot of possibilities, but I'll stop there.

Going off of this idea, the ability to take sims on road trips would be a really awesome, fresh idea. Cars can take sims to exclusive locations, like a lookout spot (for picnics and woohooing), a beach or a lake (that sims can swim in), and maybe a cool sight-seeing place (like a famous sim monument or like said, a sim version of the Grand Canyon). Ooh, maybe even a ghost town! They'd be like the hidden worlds we have now but better with greater accessibility and funtionality. I'm really loving every idea in this thread so far btw!
Also can we have an option to wash the car.
Also teens learning to drive like in the Sims 3 have a permit than license and they have rules 10pm-6am they are not allowed on the road.
Have an NPC mechanic come and fix your car if something is wrong with it.
Can we also get transportation like taxis and city buses I mean some parts of Sims 4 seems like we have bus stops already. Also school buses.
I also suggest an NPC personal limo driver for the rich Sims.
I really would like them back. My thoughts are, have them pull in and out of the drive (maybe have a short, long and circle drive item that allows this) and drive down to the "end of the neighborhood. My thoughts on this is people in the sims 3 were happy to have cars but 🐸🐸🐸🐸 they just "appeared" on the road. so have driveway object instead of a parking space object would be a better option. this could have very specific rules to it so if the Simmer decided they wanted to place this object somewhere other than at the road it could just "appear" on the road when its time to drive off that makes it their choice.
Also i would want cars buy and sellable in the retail system along with a "broken down" model in the catalog that can be repaired. but would also want the option to "tune up" a perfectly running car.
As for community lots they could just have it appear in a parking space on the lot or have only the players car sit on the side of the road if there is no parking space/driveway available on the lot.
Gameplay activities could be car shows, buy/sell cars, woohoo/mess around/ makeout ofcourse, Drive in movie theaters for dates or parties, and a plethora of rabbithole things like car races insurance and even a possible career of mechanic sims bring cars to your shop and you walk around fixing them maybe a "similar" diagnosis system to the doctor. New trait could be something about car enthusiast or born mechanic
And if there isn't room on the road then it could just be listed as a house that doesn't have parking! :D
Also maids arriving in a cleaning van and parking it outside while at work and having the school bus arrive would be fun too!
Then when creating future worlds you could possibly have parking spaces like the ones in the Sims Freeplay maybe?
Making and fixing your car was fun to, it could be a seperate skill so when they get better they get more choices, add a faster engine or more colour options. Teens can "woohoo" in the car or sneak out and use their parents car when they're not allowed. Or they can break the car and get a sad moodlet and they get scolded by their parents. Kids can pretend to drive in the car, I know lots of kids here do that and pretend they are race car drivers lmao!
But whatever you do, please don't have the woman in labor drive herself to the hospital with the man in the passenger seat. That bugs me to no end!
CARS
1. same Sims 2 animations
2. driving to the edge of the neighborhood
3. parking in front of community lots
4. adding carpools, taxis or school buses would be great
All I want, all I need. Sometimes you don't have to add new gameplay. Like pools, they just need to be in the game.
. or like a kissing rock for the teens.
. The option for teen to take driving classes at school or from their parents.
. school bus pick up for the kids or drive to school
. I want to see my sims drive away..long enough to take good screenshot. which didn't happen with the elevators T_T
. Bring back the fixer upper car from the sims 2 and it could be a bonding thing where multiple sims can work on it. like the rocket ship
. with GTW the car could be buy-able so buidling a showroom is possible.
. maybe make a track where the cooking couters from restaurants can fit for a foodtruck on a lot. or the have some food trucks like the stands from city living
. and have different typs of cars. sports car, cheap car, trucks, beetles, those volks wagen busses .
Now, of course, they should expand on them.. they could have car wash places we could build,
washing the car at home.
go buy a car from a lot.
a lot of different car colors. not just shades.
But more like in Sims 2 and 3.
toddler cars & kids size too. to ride in the yard or house of corse lol.
Who said EA doesn't have a sense of humor
I like the game I play to be as realistic as possible and cars like pools should be in the game.
It need not be animated, but if at all possible that would be a tremendous bonus.
I enjoyed the ability in sims 3 to have to learn how to drive, and can be a skill specifically for teens..... since there is not a lot in the sims 4 game for the teens. Thereafter.... like the others suggested, your sims drives the car up to the end of the map and like the sim can just simply disappear.
Naturally if you go to another town, you need to show up there in your car.
I would suggest the cars to be objects, but not storable in a sim's inventory. One cannot walk around with your car in your back pocket.
But..... yes I would like cars...... like I would like different types of stairs!!
