The '''carpool''' comes whenever a Sim goes to [[Career|work]]. (For [[child]]ren,
If two or more Sims are scheduled to go to work at the same time, only one carpool vehicle will come. At least in ''[[The Sims 2]]'', it seems that it will be the carpool for the Sim who will come home earliest.
In ''The Sims 2'', if the ''[[Nightlife]]'' [[expansion pack]] is installed, the carpool will not come for a Sim who has been made the owner of a [[car]].▼
▲In ''The Sims 2'', if the ''[[Nightlife]]'' [[expansion pack]] is installed, the carpool will not come for a Sim who has been made the owner of a [[car]]. In ''The Sims 3'', the carpool comes regardless of whether or not a vehicle is assigned.
==Carpool vehicles==▼
In ''[[The Sims 4]]'', there are no carpools; the Sim simply vanishes from the sidewalk when leaving for work.
▲==Carpool vehicles==
The vehicle used as the carpool for a job will generally reflect the job's status, and may reflect the nature of the career track. For example, the carpool for jobs in the [[Law Enforcement]] career track is usually a police car, and carpools for jobs in the [[Military]] career track are often military vehicles.
In general, the carpool for a low-level career (level 1-3) will be a junky car. In ''The Sims'', this is [[:File:Carjunk.png|a very dirty car]] that resembles a 1957 [http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_09Op0KYA6BQ/S71Otd2rIMI/AAAAAAAAA0s/TeC6pwUHz6E/s1600/1955+Bel+Air+project.jpg Chevrolet Bel Air]. In ''The Sims 2'', it's a somewhat beat-up Smoogo Minima. In ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business]]'', that appears to be the carpool for playable [[employees]].
The carpool is not always a wheeled vehicle. In ''The Sims 2'', Sims at the top level of the [[Business (career)#The Sims 2|Business]], [[Military#The Sims 2|Military]], [[Politics#The Sims 2|Politics]], [[Show Business]], and [[Paranormal#The Sims 2|Paranormal]] career tracks have
A Sim doesn't always need a carpool to go to work. ''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life]]'' gave Sims the ability to walk to work. With ''The Sims 2: Nightlife'', they can use a car to go to work whether or not they have been made the owner of the car.
If a carpool driver is added to a family or made controllable in ''The Sims 2'', they will no longer work as a carpool driver and a randomized carpool driver will be generated to replace that carpool driver.
==Carpool vehicles in The Sims 3==
Low level career (level 1-3): Sloppy Jalopy
Medium level career (level 4-7): Wornado Triage, 4-Everything Van, Yomoshoto Evasion, or Tofunda Wagon.
High level career (level 8-10):<ref>Level 6-9 in music career (rock branch) use tour bus as carpool.</ref>

While pre-made carpool drivers the ''The Sims 2'' have names, they are still [[NPC|non-playable NPCs]].

{{Warning-header|'''DO NOT''', under any circumstances, attempt to add a carpool driver to a family, try to turn them into a supernatural creature, such as a vampire, a werewolf or a witch, make them selectable, or tamper with them in SimPE in '''any''' way or form. Doing so will corrupt the neighborhood they are in.}}
==Trivia==
*In ''The Sims 2'', ''The Sims 3'', ''The Sims Stories'', and ''The Sims 3'' for Console, Sims will still go to the carpool even if [[Free will]] is turned off.
*In the console versions of ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims 2 Pets'', due to a glitch, if the player switches to the Sim that is heading to work, that Sim will change back to their normal clothes and miss the carpool (This occurs only when using Direct Control).
*In ''The Sims 2'' (Console) and ''The Sims 2 Pets'', the carpool comes about 12 minutes earlier than in ''[[The Sims 2]]'' and [[The Sims Stories]].
*In ''The Sims 2'', each carpool driver has an incomplete character file and therefore, should not be interacted with outside their designed in game purpose. Doing so will corrupt the neighborhood they are in.
*In ''Life Stories'', the game will generate large quantities of carpool drivers in addition to the carpool drivers that are already in the game, although the limit of excessive carpool drivers the game generates is significantly smaller than the limit of excessive [[social class]] [[townies]] that the game generates in ''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life]]''.
