Vehicle enthusiast

Vehicle Enthusiast is a lifestyle trait in The Sims 3. It was created for The Sims 3: Fast Lane Stuff, however since a Stuff Pack doesn't alter gameplay, it is available in Patch 15, released along with the Stuff Pack. It is available for children and above.

''Vehicle enthusiasts enjoy the craftsmanship of a fine ride and know the value of a dependable vehicle. Their relationship with their vehicles is a special one.''

Attributes

 * Sims will build relationships with vehicles more quickly.
 * Sims can automatically name vehicles.
 * Sims like using their car more than carpooling.

Player Notes

 * This trait won't conflict with the Eco-Friendly trait, despite the fact that Eco-friendly Sims prefer to carpool whilst Vehicle Enthusiasts prefer to drive their own car. A Sim with both traits receives the positive moodlet, "enjoying drive", and the negative moodlet, "wasted resources" from driving alone.

Rumors
The trait was hinted at during a Q&A session on Twitter and was later found within the game files. It was finally confirmed in a scan of the game manual. Although it turned out that the trait was not limited to The Sims 3: Fast Lane Stuff but included in Patch 15.
