Cars and Garages would me amazing. The game is a life simulator yet sims cant own or use cars.
Simulating life has nothing to do with cars. Not everyone in the world has a car.
Not everyone has pets, lives in a city, is part of a club, or is a doctor either. What's your point?
My point is that this version is not now, or ever will be set up to drive cars like in past versions. At best, maybe.....maybe, they will be objects like any other object that can raise a skill or serve a purpose, but never, ever for cruising the hood.
Perhaps. For the first time, lots aren't explicitly connected to the road. Maybe we won't get cars, or maybe we will. I'd like to keep the possibilities open for the more plausible options (CASt probably won't come because they'd have to go back and apply it to everything, for example). And I think transport-based cars could still be possible with some tweaks. I mean, I thought toddlers would never come back, and I was wrong, so I'm more open this time.
Cars could be a great addition, even if they are only objects. Forget about driving or transportation and think on what can be done with a car object and ask the devs for that.
For example:
1. mechanic skill
2. auto restoring skill
3. listening to the radio
4. making out
5. woohoo
6. catching teenagers making out
7. star gazing in a convertible
8. child/toddler pretending to be a racecar driver with animations (similar to play object with pirate or space animations)
9. décor (having a car in the driveway for realism)
10. a place for your cat to climb on (my cat always left footprints on my hood)
These are just a few off the top of my head. I'm sure other players could think of more.
But people are going to want to drive and its not really going to work out nicely in this version of the sims.
If it hasn't occurred to those people yet, then let me enlighten them. There is absolutely no form of transportation in this game and there probably never will be. No cars, no bikes, no skateboards, no boats, no buses, no trains, no planes, no hot air balloons, nothing, zip, nada!
There might be exercise bikes or roller/ice skates and, if we're lucky, cars as objects, but no forms of transportation.
For Pete's sake, they added a boat to C&D but your sim doesn't even get into it before they teleport.
I'm wondering if you said the same about toddlers because I heard similar reasoning with people saying things like "this game was never built to implement toddlers" "Sims cant pick up babies they would just put them in their inventory this is why babies are locked to the bassinet you will never get toddlers" and yet we have toddlers if they put the time and effort I say its possible will they who knows.
I knew we would get toddlers because there was base game coding and, when questioned, the devs said that toddlers could not be finished in time to release with the base game, so they held them back to do them right and make them the best they have ever been, which, IMO, they are.
I listen to what is said and do not turn it into what I want. They asked what we wanted in toddlers, so that confirmed to me that they were being worked on. That did NOT confirm that they would be coming. There still could have been many problems and set backs that could have kept them from releasing them.
They have also asked what we want with cars. That tells me they are thinking, maybe, working on something to do with cars. It does NOT confirm that cars will ever come and it does NOT confirm that they will be transportation in a game, that for three years, has had no transportation in it.
Whether we get cars in a patch or not, I don't know. But I don't understand why people say cars are impossible just because we've never had means of transportation before? Sims 2 didn't have it for a loooong time, and just bc TS3 had transportation from the beginning people seem to think it's not possible to implement it any other way.

Actually we got cars in the sims 2 in Sept 2005 with the second EP Nightlife. Only a year after release. Before that we had the illusion of cars with carpools, school buses and taxis. Sims 4 doesn't even have that. I think @Dannydanbo is correct, we may get cars as some sort of object but not as transportation. Look at the boat in BB - totally fake. I don't even consider that a form of transportation since the load screen kicks in when your sim is half way there. So many of the worlds and lots don't have functional roads alongside them for cars to use.
I think we will get cars going back to Sims 2 the roads were technically never drivable all we saw was a car backing up from its drive way into a rabbit hole aka the loading screen if we went somewhere and when they came back all we saw was the car appearing from a rabbit hole into a drive way same thing with a community lot all it did was park by the curve drive to a rabbit hole and I don't know about anyone else but I was fine with it. I personally think Sims 4 roads are drivable in some sections of the game we even got what looks like entry ways to a drive way in the game I just wish we can have an open neighborhood not a world but an open neighborhood but that's probably to much as well.

True, now when I think of it it was I that didn't have it for a long time hehe, never bought nightlife but the free time (?) ep finally gave me one! :)

The gurus have said from the beginning that the world map is updatable and expandable after we yelled at them for being so small and lacking. Its basically a cartoon interactive map. They could easily update it so that the places missing roads or transport could have it (like the island on windenberg). In fact if they turned that useless pier there in to a ferry i would be happy because you cant even fish off of it and its such a useless tease
My speculations on hints for future content:
-Cars Update
-Spiral/Diagonal Stairs Update
-Hotel Pack
-Romance Pack (possibly combined with Hotel Pack)
-Bands Pack
-Royalty Pack
-Fashion Design Pack
-Fairies Pack
-Werewolf Pack
-France-inspired World
Previous posts about cars got me thinking It would be so cute for toddlers to have those little electric ride cars they could zoom about in the garden and outside the lot.
I would eat my own hat if we get cars for free. I’m not even sure due to the layout of the worlds functional cars are a possibility. It is immersion breaking though having no cars, car pools amd school buses. This game doesn’t like transport!
its simple, they function the same way they did in the sims 2. The sims 2 did cars better then the sim 3 as there were driveways and car door animiations. Not just a sim walking to the curb and teleporting into the car. You wouldnt be able to watch sims cars going around town but having them drive on or off the driveway and then off down the street then you hit a loading screen .
But the problem with the worlds of TS4 is there's no functionnal road.
That's what the heck happened! God!
Sorry but sometimes I really don't understand your posts... Can you be more clear please...?
Wow I completely forgot about cars. I have this theory that they've been releasing a "Nightlife" EP in chunks (Get Together, Bowling, Restaurants, Vampires...). So maybe cars and the attraction system are the last things to check off their list?
I think cars the way they were handled in TS2 would be great in TS4. In lots where sims can't park the car, it would just go in their inventories.
Otherwise, I reaaally hope you guys are right and that there might be a big base game update ahead. Those are seriously the updates I get excited about the most.
Playing onIntel Core i7-5960X 16 core CPU - 32 GB DDR4 Ram - GTX 980 Ti
Why would you even start this thread before we actually get January's patch? Getting a little ahead of yourself aren't you?
Cause of a possible big update to the base game next month.
Why can’t we get a big update this month? We don’t know anything yet.
I'd say Toddlers came out for PARENTHOOD, and was basically the free patch that made sure everybody could buy Parenthood, even if Vampires was technically next. I know this isn't now, but I think weather will be the free patch that makes Seasons work for everybody. I'm not saying it'll be our next patch, I'm just saying it makes sense.
Prepping a list of mods to add after Infants are placed into the game. Because real life isn't 'nice'.
I wish there was something cool coming next month but I think it will be bug fixes because there are to big bugs in parent hood
there's the dish washing bug and in cats and dogs there's the return to lot bug
Seemed to imply? Did he or didn't he? And Unisex was not a BIG UPDATE TO THE BASE GAME. Update, yes, big, no. I don't see a lot of talk about sims wearing any genders clothes. And toddlers were planned from the start but could not be implemented in time for release. So, they continued to work on them until they were the best version they could be. Then and only then, were they added.
You need to stop with all the misinformation you put out. It's not facts but wishful thinking.
Wow, who pee'd in your Cheerios? I think this is completely unnecessary.
Check my builds and Sims out on the Gallery, username Lizzychicago!

I am so darn clear if these developers are psychotically won't listen and work on some random packs!

Did you read the posts prior to this or did you just pick mine out so you could show off your snarky quips? And if you think my post was unnecessary, what does that make yours?
You know what would be a good addition? Chinese New Year stuff! It’s in February this year and I know they did Diwali. It would be fun to see some other cultural holidays represented.
I wish there was something cool coming next month but I think it will be bug fixes because there are to big bugs in parent hood
there's the dish washing bug and in cats and dogs there's the return to lot bug
I'm sure something will be added to the base game if the Gamepack is next month and I think it is. Also I hope if we're getting a free valentines day set I hope the February Patch comes out the first week in Feb cause VDay is on the 14th.

I hope your right
At this stage I can't imagine something, I let Maxis surprise me.
I'm still hoping for cars early this year.
Same. I'm still waiting for the basics like cars and burglars. And body hair.
