Ownable and "Functional" Cars

This mod introduces buyable, ownable cars into The Sims 4 and adds basic functionality to make them feel more than decorative. While the game still lacks fully drivable cars, this mod simulates aspects of car ownership and travel in a way that integrates with existing systems.

Core Features

Ownable Cars

• Cars are objects that Sims can purchase and own.
• They appear in Build/Buy Mode under vehicles and can be placed on lots.

Functional Interactions

• Sims can “Drive To…” a destination, which triggers a travel interaction (uses the standard travel system, but adds immersion).
• Custom animations and effects (like walking to the car before traveling).

Car Storage & Inventory System

Cars are linked to the Sim’s ownership, so they persist as personal property.

Car Keys System (Optional)

Adds an extra layer of realism with keys for ownership/permissions.

Parking Spots

Decorative parking spots for realism; can be used to organize cars on lots.

Extra Gameplay Details

• Moodlets: Sims may get positive moodlets for owning or using a car.
• Car Sounds: Includes sound effects for starting and “driving” away.
• Variants & Styles: Cars come in different styles/colors for aesthetics.
• Travel System Integration: Uses EA’s travel function but wrapped in a car-related interaction.

What It’s NOT

• Cars are not fully drivable in an open world because The Sims 4 is not open world.
• The driving is a simulated travel action, not free movement like in The Sims 3.

Why Players Like It

• Brings back the sense of car ownership from The Sims 2 and 3.
• Improves realism for family gameplay, suburban builds, and storytelling.
• Great for players who miss drivable cars or want a more immersive travel system.
