Some cars have texture references from a BMW 5-Series (E39), a car presumably owned by a Maxis developer at the time. Some vehicles, such as the garbage truck, do not appear in-game at all, either as ownable or NPC-driven vehicles. When a Sim uses a car or taxi to travel to a lot, the image of that vehicle will be shown on the loading screen.Ĭars 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 cosmetic and do not appear in actual gameplay.

However, puppies and kittens cannot ride in a vehicle. Dogs and cats can be taken for a ride and will use a carpool for work. With the exception of toddlers and babies, anyone can enter and ride in a car, although only teens and older can drive. 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. Build and buy modes 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. 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 if there is not enough room, the car will simply disappear from the driveway, and reappear when it returns. Sims open the doors to get in or out of a car, and will even open a door to let a dog or cat in or out. The customers came back the next day with their new rides.A car pulling out of its garage and onto the road.Ĭars are much more animated and interactive in The Sims 2 than in any other game in the series. The opening hours are between 11am and 6pm and I set a 50% discount on the few cars that they had to sell, but as soon as the first punters arrived they sold two Lamborghini’s earning a tidy §175k. I needn’t have worried, this is a screenshot of the vehicles the customers arrived in ? And yes, I am loving it ? Setting up the machine is a breeze, the entrance fee was set at §10 because I am not sure there’s a market for the high end super cars. (make sure to set a front door and lock all internal doors that lead to the living quarters). How happy was I? And how had I missed it for so long? Now the family can run a business on the ground floor and live above in their luxurious apartment.

So I didn’t think it was ever going to happen, then I found the Open For Business machine by Inge at the Simlogical forum. But I am rubbish at building from scratch, and I am not keen on downloading lots from the exchange.

As cool as that was, I still wanted his business to expand into a proper dealership.

He earned almost §200k in his first weekend selling pre-loved classics.Įven with deep snow on the ground Honest Barry seduced his customers with grilled salmon, selling §68k of cars in one day. So I quickly put together a used car lot and Honest Barry was in business once more. But that wouldn’t work because they can’t be bought – you can sell them when they’re fixed up – but Sims can’t buy them off the savvy seller parking spaces. The Gilbert family moved into a huge apartment building with what looked like an antique furniture museum on the ground floor, I really wanted to remodel it as a car show room for the fixer-upper cars. Honest Barry started his career as a used car salesman with some scorching deals and gimmicks in Lucky Palms, before moving to Roaring Heights. Selling cars is easy in the Sims 3 game, even though it goes against the environmental car sharing ideal of the original game, it seems the Sims can never have enough cars in their garages.
