Cars can only be driven by teenage Sims or older. Pregnant Sims in ''The Sims 3'' can still drive, unlike in ''The Sims 2''.{{confirm}} Sims with cars can drive to community lots whenever they like, or take a spin around the neighborhood to relax. A car must be placed on a [[driveway]] or driveway extension when it is being purchased.

[[File:Car pulling out of driveway TS2.png|thumb|A car pulling out of its garage and onto the road.]]
Cars are much more animated and interactive in ''The Sims 2'' than in any other game in [[The Sims (series)|the series]]. Sims open the doors to get in or out of a car, and will even open a door to let a dog or cat in or out. When leaving or returning to a [[residential lot]], a car will be shown pulling into or out of the driveway if there is room for that animation to play; if there is not enough room, the car will simply disappear from the driveway, and reappear when it returns.{{Vgversion|TS2:NL}}{{Vgversion|TS2:FT}} [[Build mode|Build]] and [[buy mode]]s will be disabled when a car is pulling in or out, and will be re-enabled once the car drives off the lot, or once it is parked in the driveway and Sims have exited the vehicle. If the route is blocked, or if there is no room for the animation to play, the vehicle and the Sims in it will simply teleport to their destination.
 
With the exception of [[toddler]]s and [[baby|babies]], anyone can enter and ride in a car, although only [[teen]]s and older can drive. [[Dogs]] and [[cat]]s can be taken for a ride and will use a carpool for work. However, puppies and kittens cannot ride in a vehicle.{{vgversion|TS2:P}}
 
When a Sim uses a car or taxi to travel to a lot, the image of that vehicle will be shown inon the loading screen.
 
Cars of various kinds, including service NPC vehicles and taxis, can be seen driving randomly around the roads while in the neighborhood view; however, these cars are purely cosmetic, and do not appear whenin aactual lotgameplay. isSome loaded.vehicles, Purchasedsuch carsas thatthe aregarbage parkedtruck, outdoorsdo cannot beappear seenin-game fromat theall, either as ownable or neighborhoodNPC-driven viewvehicles.
 
Some cars have texture references from a BMW 5-Series (E39), a car presumably owned by a Maxis developer at the time. Some cars also seem to sport 1969-1980 California license plates. One of these plates read "ETA 329", presumably rearranged to avoid any privacy concerns, as it doesn't match the California plates of the time's numbering scheme. Some cars have their plates edited to "23 329".
===Purchasing and owning a car===
With ''[[The Sims 2: Nightlife|Nightlife]]'' or ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime|Freetime]]'', Sims can purchase and own cars of their own. Cars are found in the miscellaneous section of the [[buy mode]] catalog. Sims will have the option to visit [[community lot]]s using the car; however, they will use the car to go to work or school by default. The player must click on the car and select a Sim as its owner; when this is done, the carpool will not come for that Sim, and instead they will autonomously head for the car when it is time to go to work or school. However, the school bus will still come for [[teen]]s, and driving to school instead of taking the bus will still trigger the minor [[Wants and Fears|fear]] of missing the school bus.<ref group="n">There is a [https://modthesims.info/d/593810/carpool-amp-school-bus-flexibility/ mod] at [[ModTheSims]] that resolves this issue.</ref> Selecting one Sim as the owner will not affect other family members' ability to use the car to visit community lots.
 
=== NPC-driven vehicles ===
[[Child]]ren and older Sims can choose to sit in vehicles without actually driving. Sims sitting in a car can turn on the vehicle's lights and the [[stereo]]. If two or more Sims are sitting in the car, they will autonomously socialize. Sims can even [[WooHoo]] in cars, complete with rocking motion and fogged-up windows to conceal the view from the player. Sims can take the vehicle for a spin, where they will drive off the lot and return a short while later Sims get a boost to [[energy]], [[comfort]], and [[fun]] from driving or riding in a car. Generally, more expensive cars give a greater boost, but this does not always hold for [[Custom content|custom-content]] cars.
Some other cars are also in the game but were not made buyable or ownable. Some may be available as [[Car#Custom Content|custom content]].
* '''Limo:''' A stretch limousine resembling a '''Lincoln Town Car '''(1998-2003) that serves as carpool for some jobs. It also appears when a teen goes out or sneaks out with someone, or when a college student is being taken to the [[secret society]]. It also arrives to pick up [[marriage|newlyweds]] for their honeymoon.
* '''Town Car:''' A sedan that resembles an older '''Lincoln Town Car''' (1990-1997) with a soft top. It's a carpool for several jobs, and in some career tracks, such as [[Education#The Sims 2|Education]], is even the carpool for the top-level job.
* '''Small Sports Car:''' It's a carpool car that appears in either bright red or bright blue, and is very small. It resembles a '''Maserati Coupe''' (2002-2007). The red car and the blue car are actually two separate cars that are almost identical, but this is only apparent if they are examined very closely.
* '''Fire Truck. '''An average sized fire truck.
* '''Ambulance.''' Paramedic carpool vehicle, and sometimes seen on television.
* '''Large Truck:''' A delivery truck used by the grocery store, the [[Repo-man]], and the [[exterminator]]. The grocery truck is blue with a yellow streak on the sides and rear. On close inspection, it can be seen that the streak is formed by a winged PlumbBob. The Repo-man's truck has sad faces on it, and has no rear doors. The exterminator's truck is yellow, has a picture of a bug and a "No" symbol on the sides, and an oversized model of a dead bug on the roof.
* '''Bus:''' Kids go to [[school]] in a yellow school bus, and some jobs in the [[Athletic]] career track use a team bus as the carpool. The sports team bus is white with a red stripe, while the school bus is yellow with a black stripe, but they are otherwise identical.
* '''UFO:''' Technically, it's a car. The design is available as [[custom content]]. It has yet to be turned into something more fitting, such as a helicopter.
* '''HMV:''' A military truck, used as the carpool for many jobs in the [[Military#The Sims 2|Military]] career track.
 
===Purchasing and owning a car===
When Sims get out of a car on a residential lot, they will have a "Watch Out!" action pushed on them if they take too long to get off the driveway. This will override almost everything in a Sim's queue, and forces the Sim to get off the driveway.<ref group="n">A [https://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=302147 mod] at [[ModTheSims]] eliminates this behavior.</ref> Actions such as bringing in a grocery basket will not be affected.
If ''[[The Sims 2: Nightlife|Nightlife]]'' or ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime|Freetime]]'' is installed, Sims can purchase and own cars of their own. Cars are found in the miscellaneous section of the [[buy mode]] catalog. Sims can use them to visit [[community lot]]s as a faster alternative to taking the taxi. Sims can take the vehicle for a spin, which will give them a boost in [[energy]], [[comfort]], and [[fun]]. Generally, more expensive cars give a greater boost, but this does not always hold for [[custom content|custom]] vehicles.
 
Sims can use the vehicle to go to work or school, but the player must manually select them as the owner of the vehicle. This can be done by clicking on the vehicle, selecting "Change Owner", and then the name of the Sim. The carpool will no longer appear for a Sim who owns a car, and the Sim will autonomously head for the vehicle when it is time to go to work or school. However, the school bus will still come for [[teen]]s, and driving to school instead of taking the bus will still trigger the minor [[Wants and Fears|fear]] of missing the school bus.<ref group="n">There is a [https://modthesims.info/d/593810/carpool-amp-school-bus-flexibility/ mod] at [[ModTheSims]] that resolves this issue.</ref> Selecting one Sim as the owner will not affect other family members' ability to use the car to visit community lots. Owners can be unassigned at any time, and the carpool will reappear for Sims who have been unassigned as an owner. Only one Sim can own a vehicle at a time.
All cars have the option to have an alarm installed. A car alarm costs §250 and takes an hour in Sim time to be installed. An armed car alarm will go off whenever a [[burglar]] is within six or seven tiles of the car, even if the car happens to be inside a garage. Since cars are generally expensive objects, burglars are likely to come within range of the vehicle when casing the lot. If the car alarm goes off before the burglar can enter the house, any [[burglar alarm]]s inside the house will not sound and sleeping Sims will not be awakened.
 
All cars have the option to have an alarm installed. A car alarm costs §250 and takes one Sim hour to be installed. An armed car alarm will go off whenever a [[burglar]] is within six or seven tiles of the car, even if the car happens to be inside a garage. Since cars are generally expensive objects, burglars are likely to come within range of the vehicle when casing the lot. If the car alarm goes off before the burglar can enter the house, any [[burglar alarm]]s inside the house will not sound and sleeping Sims will not be awakened.
A [[driveway]] has a 5x8 section that a car can be placed on, a 5x2 section that connects it to the street, and a 12x3 section which is at a right angle to the rest of the driveway. This section is placed over the street, and is used when cars back out of or pull into the driveway. Cars will enter and leave the lot in the same way as the [[carpool]] or [[Taxicab#The Sims 2|taxi]]. Some pre-made residential lots do not have room for a driveway, and require modifications by the player in order to provide room for one. Normally, a driveway cannot be placed unless there is room for the entire street section; however, later expansions allow the player to override this by using the ''moveobjects on'' cheat. Since a driveway placed in this manner will not have room to show a car backing out of or pulling into a driveway, a car placed on it will fade out when Sims drive off, and fade in when they return. This will also happen, at least to some extent, when a car enters or leaves a driveway space that is blocked by another car.
 
When Sims get out of a car on a residential lot after arriving, they will have a "Watch Out!" action pushed on them if they take too long to get off the driveway. This will override almost everything in a Sim's queue, and forces the Sim to get off the driveway.<ref group="n">A [https://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=302147 mod] at [[ModTheSims]] eliminates this behavior.</ref> Actions such as bringing in a grocery basket will not be affected.
In early neighborhood pictures before ''The Sims 2'' was released, some houses had driveways and garage doors, suggesting that ownable cars were originally intended for the base game. Something else to support this is that there is a buyable and ownable car, but it only appears if it is made to appear in a category, and doesn't work correctly.

The five different models in ''[[The Sims 2]]'' are:
 
Sims will only use cars to visit community lots when they are part of the actively played household and were explicitly commanded to use the car to get there. Sims from other households will still arrive and leave the lot on foot, even if they own a car.

In early neighborhood pictures before ''The Sims 2'' was released, some houses had driveways and garage doors, suggesting that ownable cars were originally intended for the base game. Another piece of evidence to support this is the presence of a buyable and ownable car in the game files. This car only appears if it is made to appear in a category, and doesn't work correctly.
[[File:Cars_icon_(The_Sims_2).png|left]]There are five models in ''Nightlife'', of varying price and specifications, and each one comes in several colors. They are drivable versions of carpools or service vehicles from the base game. In addition, ''[[FreeTime]]'' adds a [[One Man's Junk Car|junk car]] that can be restored.<ref>[[:File:Desiderata Valley.png|Desiderata Valley neighborhood picture with the restorable junk car in FreeTime]]</ref>

Regardless of how many seats a particular model of car would have in real life, a car in ''The Sims 2'' can hold any number of Sims. For example, a family of eight can ride in a Hunka, even though it looks like a two-seat sports car.

This set was available in the Exchange->Objects section of [[TheSims2.com]].
 
"Numenor" at ModTheSims also made [https://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=307204 a set] of packages based on this set, which were modified to allow players without ''Nightlife'', but with a later expansion or stuff pack, to use custom-content cars as long as they did not have the "requires ''Nightlife''" flag set.
 
==The Sims 3 models==

[[File:Moranosaurus-Screenshot-0.jpg|thumb|250px|Two Sims in the Bwan Speedster YL.]]
Cars play a much more important role in ''The Sims 3'', as they are used to travel around to places (otherwise the player can use a taxi, walk/jog, or [[bike]]). However, the Sims will not autonomously drive to work, as the carpool will still arrive for them, even if there is a vehicle assigned to the Sim. The game comes with 11 cars. In addition, a Sim who reaches level 5 in the [[Lawlaw Enforcementenforcement]] career will receive a Police Cruiser based on the Yomoshoto Evasion as a bonus. In [[Ambitions]], a player who reaches level 10 in the [[Firefighterfirefighter]] profession will receive a [[Woo Woo 4000]] Fire Truck.
 
Cars are purchased from the "vehicles" section in [[buy mode]]. Their prices are more realistic and reflect real-life prices more than those in ''The Sims 2'', ranging from §950 to §105,000. Most of the families in ''The Sims 3'' and its expansion packs already own cars which are either on their lot or in their inventories.
Line 136 ⟶ 102:
 
Sims cannot die as a result of a car crash or being run over by a car. If a car or a Sim is blocking the road the car will simply pass through like a ghost. This also means that traffic jams are not possible.

Over the years, many custom-content vehicles have been made for ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims 3''. While many of these are based on real-world models, some creators and sites have specialized in Simlish models. In addition, many creators have made recolors of EA-made vehicles. Many sites have either carried sizable numbers of vehicles and recolors or have specialized in vehicles. The list below is only a small sample of what is available.
