    Went into my game yesterday and the welcome message at the top of the main page was: "Meep meep, AncientMuse2!"

    :o

    I've never seen that message before....? Has anyone else ever noticed this? Not to get people's hopes up too much but..... surely that must be a hint cars really are coming this year?

    I hope so, but I have seen the message before, I think. I just associate it with the old Loony Tunes Road Runner cartoons, rather than cars. But it could be cars.

    Despite of cars, I want public transports such as buses, railways and ships too.

    The way that I would want cars is with sports cars in some glamourous world like a mountainous one with winding paths to mansion retreats. I'd see it maybe connecting to Tartosa where I have some household that seems like they would drive Ferraris. I have some others like that. I get that a lot of people just want cars and sure, I'd give cars to other households but that's what I'd want. They can make them some emissions-free Formula One style but that's what I'd want. What I do remember of Sims 2 was that it was also fun to fix up junky cars so it would be great if they bring that back. Also, of course it makes sense to have electric cars. I'm not really waiting on the average family cars though I know some people are. I'd want more "Top Gear" style but I think that if they add cars then they can add both types.

    Well in one of the packs or kits there is a racing jacket….. so who knows…

    I don't think were getting cars unless there is a world design for them.

    Or a world dedicated to Cars : Need For Speed EP :p

    Of course like Horse Ranch, the competition would happen in a rabbithole.

    I think it's going to be hotels and not cars. I wish it were bands.

    All I want are bands. Hotels are cars are cool, and you don't need an open world for cars since sims 2 had them.
    But all I want in life is a SIms 4 bands. And for my spellcasters to turn people into frogs. But mostly the bands.

    Cars should be patched into the base. We had them in the closed worlds of sims 2 and the open worlds in 3. Older games could manage this, the newest one should to.

    I don't see that because the basegame worlds don't evan real roads.

    Well for one thing you can bike on sidewalk and the park
    We also bikes in discover university which you can used get to class.
    The point I was trying to make is this.I don't see them putting the base game.Because how the roads are.They could make a new world for it.Maybe a free basegame world accommodate them.

    Something we have always had since 2 shouldn't be that hard for the EA Team to implement. I got my babies and toddlers that I love so much in this version of sims. My dare for this EA team, my quest for this EA team is to bring me a Maserati ( woops dfriting on that ) that I can utilize with gameplay or just sloppy jalopy that I can fix and detail. This game needs to grow with the demands and not everybody wants play dress up in CAS. We want to play the game on our terms with a color wheel and cars and options to build more personal worlds that we connect with. Cars are an expectation in this game, not a want. Sims 4 fails if it can't produce the same gameplay as previous games.

    Edit: Maserati..not Mazda.

    I agree with this, how do you play a life simulator and never have cars? The sims 2 that is twenty years old had this. This should not be impossible when we can ride horses and bikes. Even if the cars aren’t drivable I don’t understand why they couldn’t add ones with loading screens like in the sims 2 and I would be fine with that in this game as long as it came with some interactions like being able to sit in the car or work on the car, maybe a new auto mechanic career something that makes it interesting, being able to add garages. It’s a shame if the sims 4 ends with no cars, as a life simulator I think it’s a must and should be a priority. My guess is they do plan on releasing them in the future even if it’s at the very end of the sims 4.

    Cars would be lovely, whenever we get them I hope they have proper animations and lots of interactions.

    That's a false equivalancey four and two are not the same game or have the same engine or code.Two was design with cars in mind.Four was not,and we were program to travel by phone.

    I think the babise are good example they could not free the ones in the bascinet .They had to add a new life state.It the same corlor wheel pets have to be a paint tool.Becuse the engine and how it was design.


    Another thing this game was not programed to be a sequel at the ground up.It was programed to be a mmo and than reprogrammed to be the sequel.

    Do I think cars should been in basegame
    Or other features ? Yes do I realize that because how it was code? Somethings are not possible or needs br impleted differently ? Yes

    This is my personal opinion. Agree to disagree. I really don't care about the faulty base engine in sims 4. It's proven its half baked point. You don't have to agree. What I want is a car with animations like I had before.

    I'm still fan of Need For Speed 20 years later, just I regret that the part about life is missing in this franchise.

    If the sims could be passionate about cars more than restoring an old car, it could be customizable like a pet in Create-A-Car 😍

    They could make a killing of of cars after bringing out an initial pack or putting them into badegame, they could come out with additional types of car kits.

    @LeGardePourpre I like these ideas! This makes me sad..I don't think we get cars with this game. We got a great phone though! :)

    I miss rideshare cars to work and school bus, but i don't think they will ever put in the game, not when they are already working in TS5. :(

    Well, they should've known that when they made the Sims 4 because Sims 3 is an awesome game. If they knew ahead of time that they weren't going to make a great game, makes you wonder what they will do for the 2 new spin offs(Sims 5ish). They now have all kinds of competition, so they can't just make another Sims4 and force it on us like they did. People can and will jump ship and go for those flashy new games that are coming out soon. As for putting cars in Sims 4, Sims 3 didn't play so well on many people's computers because people wouldn't update their mods, wouldn't play on compatible computers, and downloaded and kept bad content and they still redid the oceans and made underwater possible. I think they will put cars in, but I don't think it will look anything like the Sims 3. It will be more of a teleport vehicle and we will see fake cars running everywhere. I think they can do woohoo, garage jobs, ect. I can see it happening and because they can do it as a teleport type thing just the same as loading screens, I think they will do it because it is a huge money grab. Many would want it and will pay for it.

    @davina1221 Awesome. I agree with your statement. I think cars are still possible too considering how long this game is going to run. Sims 4 has already beat sims 3 in playtime years and the DLC is not stopping. At some point people will need to be picky about what EP's, packs and kits they add to their game and PC'S regarding performance. I would be happy to un-install an EP for a EP based on cars and transportation if and when we get there.

    Cars were terribly implemented in TS3 and were a downgrade from TS2. Routing was terrible, and sims would literally choose the longest most roundabout route to where they needed to be, sometimes even choosing to leave the car and walk to their destination. Travelling anywhere took ages longer than a teleport type option and sometimes where you needed to be was a rabbithole building. TS4 neighbourhoods are mostly tiny, I am not sure why we would need a car to be able to drive in them. I'd be happy with maybe a neighbourhood located race track for the cars, or something like a driving rage for new drivers to learn how to drive, and for everything else I want TS2 type cars.
