It would be interesting to have both methods… Currently, I enjoy controlling the zoi by walking and running around the city while holding down ‘W’ or ‘W + shift’ and moving the mouse to change focus/viewing angle. This way, I end up redirecting the zoi exactly where I want without needing other directional keys. I’d like all vehicles to work this same way, since I’m not accustomed to/practiced in using WASD keys, but I also didn’t enjoy playing with an Xbox controller (I liked it only for movement, but for other activities, I still find it better to use the mouse and a few keyboard commands/shortcuts).

I’m hoping that KRAFTON let’s cars stay where we park them

Hello everyone!
I’m new here, and I know there are topics about cars, but there are a few small things different in what I’d like, and some additional ones too.
Cars are the point I care most about (because I have too long a list of things in my head). Being able to drive them, and even with a controller if you want, is just great! But making them disappear? Why? Realism is that they don’t disappear. That they stay where we left them, even if it means getting a parking fine, or having to take a bus or taxi to go pick it up if our Sim went elsewhere. There are beautiful parking lots, parking meters, garage doors in build mode, we really have everything we need to have great moments driving, parking, picking up the car, etc… I hate seeing it disappear when my Sims leave it, or seeing it appear on the road when I want to drive. Not to mention that all the vehicles around disappear as soon as the engine starts, which is really too bad.
Leave the cars always in view, never make them disappear again, and let us park anywhere, even crooked, that would add charm and fun to this game! And not just our Sims, but NPCs too. Or any Sim in the city. It would be fun to go meet a friend somewhere, see them arrive by car, park crooked, and why not have an interaction like “did you see how you parked?” or “you might want to retake your driving test” 
CONTROLLER. I love using the controller, mainly for driving, and actually, I was wondering if it would be possible to let us assign each button to allow us not to have to use the mouse for certain things. For example, being able to choose which controller button I want for the left or right turn signal, hazard lights, etc… That would be great if it was possible! Because going through the mouse, clicking on the car, then on the headlights, and choosing to turn on the turn signal, turn, and do the same thing again to turn it off, is less immersive than doing it directly with the controller. So I stopped using turn signals 
LIGHTING. By the way, the lighting of the car lights needs to be reviewed, because they don’t light up in front of us at all, and in darker areas, it’s rather dangerous 
WEATHER AND DRIVING. Also, why prevent us from driving when there are heavy rains? At the same time, I saw scooters driving without any problem, and that makes no sense. Let us drive whatever the weather, I promise, we’ll be careful 
BOATS. One of my Sims fishes regularly, and she rents a boat. So, unless I missed a detail, I never found the option to “return the rented boat”. But especially, why not allow us to buy a boat (or two, why not 
). It would be nice to be able to own one, and why not be able to equip it a bit and customize it with different things to make it stand out from the others? That would be really nice!
Sorry, that was a bit long, but I hope some of these ideas will be in the game one day

Hello @Meghan , I’ll merge this thread with the existing one since it’s known wishlist: Improving Vehicles and Cars. I’ll be closing this post for now. Thanks.

The ability to listen to your own music (added by the player) while driving and some navigation besides a compass. The ability to return home by car, because Zoe always comes back from somewhere by metro.

Although the thread has been quiet for a while, it’s the only place I thought of putting this. The thing is, I think that when it comes to vehicles, we should be able to choose a default one. I’m not sure yet how they’re going to handle it with the family to take everyone without having to choose one by one, but especially if the Sim has something to do and has a vehicle, it would make sense for them to take their vehicle rather than the bus, honestly. And I think, like many others, that the vehicle should be able to stay parked outside and not always be disappearing.

@Ivlaya This - or a part of this - is coming with the update tomorrow! I don’t think the parking is coming but Kjun confirmed in one of the latest updates that Zois would now use their car as default transportation if they own one.

Hello, thanks for the reply. I’ve noticed that the sims I don’t control, whether from my family or other families, if they have a vehicle they use it, but my sim doesn’t, my sim always takes public transport whenever I tell him to go somewhere. I have to force him to use the vehicle. Is it like that for everyone?
I’ve also seen a motorcycle that goes 90km/h, and I’m not sure if it’s a bug or if it’s made that way. Could you clarify this for me please?
Thanks. It only happens to me on that model
