==The Sims 2==
A '''driveway''' is an object in ''[[The Sims 2: Nightlife]]'' and ''[[The Sims 3]]''. A downloadable version which does not require ''Nightlife'' is available for ''The Sims 2'' players who do not have that expansion.
Driveways are available from [[build mode]] unlocked if either ''[[The Sims 2: Nightlife|Nightlife]]'' or ''[[FreeTime]]'' is installed. Players who not have either of those expansions can still download and use custom driveways as long as they have at least one expansion pack after ''Nightlife''.
 
In ''The Sims 2'', a [[car]] must be placed on a driveway or driveway extension. The driveway must be connected to the street, and is very large,. takingThere allis tilesa that5x8 section where cars can be placed on, a Sim5x2 needssection tothat enterconnects the cardriveway asto wellthe asstreet, and a 12x3 section whichthat overlaps the street. The street sections can overlap with each other, allowing multiple driveways to be placed side by side. If the lot is on a corner, a driveway must be placed overon the side of the street where the [[mailbox]] is. 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. Players should note that, if a lot is reset after adding a new expansion pack (or after adding some mods), driveways placed in this manner may cease to be recognized as being present, and cars placed on them may disappear. If this happens, the player will be able to re-buy the driveway after saving the lot, exiting it, and then re-entering it. Driveway extensions and cars on them will not be affected by this.
 
Driveways can be placed on community lots, although they will not be used by Sims. There is a [https://modthesims.info/d/424669/park-in-the-car-park.html mod] on [[Mod The Sims]] that allows Sims to park in driveways on community lots.
In ''The Sims 3'' the driveway is small and can be placed anywhere in the lot.
 
===Driveways===
{{Infobox object
|name = Driveway
|desc = Common wisdom dictates a simple saying: "You can't have a car without a driveway." But few know the driveway's origin: invented by grapefruit farmer Thomas Driveway, who originally used large sections of busy highways to lay out his fruit for ripening. Many squashed pieces of citrus and a few hip injuries later, he developed the technique of simply paving part of his yard. Years later, when people realized there was absolutely no benefit to placing fruit on pavement, they just used them as a location to park their cars. Driveways must connect to the street.

==The Sims 3==
In ''The Sims 3'' the driveway is 3x7<ref>Image in the [http://www.carls-sims-3-guide.com/buildedit/houses/garage.php garages tutorial] at [[Carl's Sims 3 Guide]]</ref> and can be placed anywhere in the lot; cars will always teleport onto the road rather than playing an animation. Unlike ''The Sims 2'', driveways function as usable parking space on community lots, and non-playable Sims can park their cars there.
 
== Notes ==
*The [[One Man's Junk Car|restorable junk car]] from ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime]]'' must be placed on a driveway, so it can be presumed that ''FreeTime'' includes driveways. [http://www.thesimszone.co.uk/editorials/index.php?ID=71 This preview] of ''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life]]'' states that ''Apartment Life'' appears to include driveways.
*The downloadable driveway for ''The Sims 2'' requires an expansion or stuff pack later than ''Nightlife'' so that the Build mode category for driveways will be available.
*"Numenor" at ModTheSims made [https://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=307204 a set] of packages based on the downloadable driveway, which were modified to allow players to use all custom-content cars that did not have the "requires ''Nightlife''" flag set.
