===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 instead forof calling a taxi or using other means of traveling. 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.
 
[[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.
