| How To Get A Car Sims 4 |
Option 1: The Humble Ride (No Cheats Allowed)
You're a purist, a Sims traditionalist who likes things above board. That's respectable! But be warned, there are no shiny Lamborghinis or Teslas just waiting to be driven in the vanilla Sims 4. However, there are some adorable miniature car models you can find in Build Mode.
- Hit up the Sculpture Category: These little guys are perfect for placing on a shelf or desk, adding a touch of car-themed whimsy.
- Search Bar Savior: Type in "car" and see what pops up! You might be surprised by the variety of miniature motor vehicles available.
Now, these aren't exactly the muscle cars you envisioned for your gearhead Sim, but hey, they're a start! Plus, with a little resizing magic (hold Ctrl and press ]) you can turn those tiny toy cars into hood ornaments... kind of.
Tip: The details are worth a second look.
Option 2: Cheat Codes: Your Key to the (Debug) Garage
Alright, so maybe you're ready to ditch the walking and snag some wheels, even if they're just for show. That's where things get interesting. We're entering the realm of cheat codes, a Simmer's best friend (or worst enemy, depending on how many glitches you unleash).
Here's the lowdown:
QuickTip: Pause at transitions — they signal new ideas.
- Open the Cheat Menu: Hold Ctrl + Shift + C (PC) or Command + Shift + C (Mac).
- Testing, Testing, 1, 2, 3: Type in
testingcheats trueand press Enter. This activates the cheat codes. - Unlocking the Hidden Garage: Now comes the magic trick. Type in
bb.showhiddenobjectsand press Enter. This reveals a treasure trove of hidden items, including, you guessed it, cars!
Now the fun part! Head into Build Mode and browse the newly unlocked category (it might be under debug). You'll find a variety of full-sized cars, from rusty jalopies to sleek sports cars. Just remember, these are strictly for decoration – no joyriding allowed!

Word to the Wise: Using cheat codes can sometimes have unintended consequences, so use them with caution!
QuickTip: Reading regularly builds stronger recall.
Option 3: Mods: Your Gateway to a Fast and Furious Future
If you're feeling extra adventurous, the world of mods awaits. There are talented modders out there who have created functional cars for the Sims 4. With mods, your Sims can zip around town, cruise to work, or even go on a scenic road trip (with some limitations, of course).
Just be sure to download mods from reputable sources and make sure they're compatible with your game version.
QuickTip: Reread for hidden meaning.
So, there you have it! From miniature models to debug delights and the wild world of mods, there are ways to spruce up your Sims' transportation situation. Remember, the most important thing is to have fun and unleash your inner gearhead (or Barbie car enthusiast)!
