Buckle Up, Simmers! How to pimp your ride (or at least your driveway) in The Sims 4
You've built your dream mansion, complete with a walk-in fridge bigger than your first apartment. Your Sims have mastered the art of the perfectly grilled cheese and can throw epic dance parties that would make Studio 54 jealous. But something feels... missing. Maybe it's a nagging sense of existential dread plaguing your Sims (therapy llamas sold separately), or perhaps it's the glaring lack of a four-wheeled companion.
Fear not, fellow Simmers! Because while The Sims 4 doesn't exactly offer the thrill of a Grand Theft Auto joyride (although, wouldn't that be an interesting expansion pack?), there are ways to spruce up your suburban sprawl with some vehicular flair.
QuickTip: Reading twice makes retention stronger.

| How To Get Car Sims 4 |
Option 1: The Modest Mini
Let's face it, not everyone's Sim is a high-roller. Maybe your virtual family just can't afford a Lamborghini on a salary of blowing bubbles and writing bad novels. But fear not! Head over to buy mode, my friends, and explore the wonders of the decorations section. Under sculptures, you'll find a delightful collection of miniature cars. These little guys are perfect for placing on a shelf or using to create a charming (and fuel-efficient) car museum in your basement. Pro tip: Don't forget to use the bracket keys to resize your miniaturized motors to truly supersize your cuteness factor.
Tip: Don’t skip the details — they matter.
Option 2: Cheatin' Like a Sim Boss
Now, some of you might be craving something a little more... substantial. Something that says, "I may not be able to drive it, but at least it'll look good in my driveway." Well, my friends, it's time to unleash your inner hacker (Sims-style, of course) and delve into the glorious world of cheats.
Reminder: Revisit older posts — they stay useful.
Here's the gist:
QuickTip: Take a pause every few paragraphs.

- Open the cheat menu with Ctrl+Shift+C (PC) or Command+Shift+C (Mac).
- Type "testingcheats true" and hit enter. Just remember, with great cheat power comes great responsibility. Use it wisely!
- Then comes the magic trick: type "bb.showliveeditobjects". This unlocks a treasure trove of hidden goodies, including, you guessed it, cars!
- Go back to buy mode and type "debug" in the search bar. Voila! A whole new world of vehicles (think tow trucks, fancy sports cars, the whole shebang) awaits your decorating pleasure.
Important Note: These are mostly non-functional scenery pieces, so don't expect your Sims to suddenly develop a need for speed.
Option 3: The Expansion Pack Extravaganza
Let's be honest, there's nothing quite like having official, drivable (well, almost) cars in your game. While The Sims 4 base game doesn't offer this functionality, some Expansion Packs come to the rescue!
- The Sims 4: Get to Work: This pack introduces cabs that your Sims can hail to travel between work locations. It's not exactly a Ferrari, but it's a step closer to having some semblance of a car culture in your game.
- The Sims 4: City Living: While this pack doesn't offer controllable cars, it does introduce a subway system that allows your Sims to zip around the bustling city. Not quite the same as a road trip, but it adds a touch of urban realism!
So there you have it, Simmers! From miniature models to cheat code magic, you now have the tools to transform your virtual world into a haven for car enthusiasts (or at least car lookers). Now get out there and pimp your ride... virtually, of course!
