Okay, people, I know people want cars. But I understand why we don't have them in the game. In Sims 2 how a sim travel to community lot we had a taxi, or in Night life we had cars. The only way to travel was with taxi, and cars. In Sims 3 we had an open world, and use them to travel. In Sims 4 we travel by phone.Im not against cars, but I understand why currently are not in the game

Sorry but how does this highlight the reason we don’t have cars ?
Because you don't need cars to travel to lots. You just teleport by phone. To be fair we didn't need cars to travel in three, but it did make it faster.
But cars should always be in The Sims regardless, there is a need for them. Otherwise we don't need stoves, refrigerators, beds etc, Sims needs could just automatically get filled, but that's not realistic at all. It's just something that should be in the game. It is a simulation of life after all.
Yeah I think time because they had redo a lot of things.
It's like saying we don't need doors if sims could materialize from one room to another. Why take the effort to animate and code doors if sims could just vanish from one room to the next?
TS4 is weird because there's all the public area around the lot, and some lots don't even have anything that could be considered road access. I'm pretty certain that there are prototype cars that the Sims team is working on. (There are prototypes for a lot of things that aren't ready for public release yet.) The catch is that once cars are released, it'll be harder to justify working on them more in the future. And it's hard to make cars feel like proper cars that you drive, instead of simple teleporters, within the game as it stands now.
I but it was a reason we had them in 2 .Becuse you couldn't travel without a taxi, or car.Sims 2 cars came with late night.
they could have very well made it in ts2 to be able to travel by using the phone, but they went the extra mile and gave us cars. The fact that we can travel using the phone right now doesn't negate the need for cars. It's like when you buy something on the computer it magically shows up in your inventory instead of having to wait for it to arrive in the mailbox and picking it up there. It's not a feature, it's lazy shortcut.
But you never actually said why they are not in game lol. Because of phones? That makes no sense. You could also travel by phone in previous sims.
The sims 4 desperately needs transportation. It feels incomplete otherwise given that most every house on the planet has garages and cars and bikes and skateboards etc...it's essential.
So many people are over thinking it saying it's impossible with how the roads are. Roads don't matter. Car animations and objects matter. The loading screen could start up right after a sim pulls out of their driveway. It's that simple.
So car yes for sure but not only. Walk, bikes electric bikes motorbikes boats small and big ones windsurfs skate boards rollers ULM helicopters and public transportation of all kinds too.
I am sure I did forget a few ones.
From the posts I'm reading on here lately, the new excuse for not having this or that is because there wasn't time? I really hope that's not true. If it is, it's a pretty sad excuse.
By having cars in Sims 3 it showed off the open world and there was no loading screens. For me I was glad there was vehicles even though unlike Sims 2 you would magically teleport inside the car. It would be nice to include Cars in Sims 4 but the tech for me is an step back in time as how they will be used even if they magically pop in their car.
So it would actually take you longer to get to places if you used a car,
It would look nice, but right now if they were working on cars, they wouldn't be working on Terrain.
I so agree it is based more on the design of the game, I am so used to how Sims 4 work I really do not care now and if Sims 5 is on EA/Maxis radar I hope they do an proper car feature then.
