'''Cars''' are objects that allow Sims to get around the [[neighborhood]] or [[world]] they live in. Cars first appeared in ''[[The Sims]]'' as [[carpool]]s, and [[taxicab]]s were introduced in later expansion packs starting with ''[[The Sims: Hot Date|Hot Date]]''.

===Purchasing and owning a car===
If ''[[The Sims 2: Nightlife|Nightlife]]'' or ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime|Freetime]]'' is installed, Sims can purchase and own cars of their own
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.
Line 52 ⟶ 49:
[[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 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. 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.▼
