It was different shortly after release: exit car → click to “park” it → then car despawns. If I remember correctly, this has been the way your video shows for many months now. I think at this point it’s not a bug but rather a change made by the devs? :thinking:

ohh id really hate this, i love realism and when i park somewhere i want the car to stay there, and maybe even get handed out a fine from the police when i parked at a no-parking zone or at whatever place that shouldnt be drive on

here i didnt even click on park tho, like, i just moved the car there and then i got out of the car and then it said the car got parked (and probably got parked somewhere else or despawned, idk)

It’s always been this way since the beginning. Pressing “Park” is not required for the despawn to happen. It happens any time a Zoi exits their vehicle, unfortunately.

I made a wishlist for this to change months ago, but the devs expressed concerns about allowing the cars to stay after parking them anywhere because of how it may affect certain parts of the simulation. My hope is that they will be able to make this possible one day.

I believe they’re working on a compromise, but we don’t know what it will look like yet. In the meantime, see my Wishlist entry, if you’d like: No Auto-Disappearing Cars (Let them Park Anywhere)

Side note: If you want to be able to do the extra car features, such as washing the car, repairing it, opening the trunk, etc., you can still do that by clicking the “Get in Vehicle” button as you normally would, then cancelling the interaction before they actually start to get in or on the vehicle. The car will stay where it is without despawning, and if you click on the car again, the extra interactions will be available.

Hi @Scarlett,
As HeinziDerHeld and LazyTaco have pointed out, this is not a bug.

Just to clarify, we understand that it can feel a bit confusing in certain situations — and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. :psycat_sad:
If you have any ideas for how this could be improved, feel free to share them in the Wishlist category!

Since this has been clarified, we’ll go ahead and close this topic for now.
Thank you for your understanding.
