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 (albeit remotely) 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.{{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 in 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 when a lot is loaded. Purchased cars that are parked outdoors can be seen from the neighborhood view.
===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
[[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.
Line 84:
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.

=== Other non-drivable vehicles ===
Some other cars are also in the game, but were not made buyable or drivable. Some may be available as [[Car#Custom Content|custom content]].
