Since their appearance in The Sims 2: Nightlife, cars have felt essential to The Sims franchise. And when 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Sims 3: Generations added driving lessons and licenses, that feeling only got stronger. However, cars disappeared from 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Sims 4, and have yet to make a return to the official game. Given that The Sims 4 is not open-world like The Sims 3, this ꦰchange makes some sense; with loadi༺ng screens between lots—even neighboring lots—why would teens need to learn to drive?

Why would Sims need cars at all? Still, The Sims 2 was closed-world, and cars still adde🥀d a lot of character to the Sims that drove them. In mod, functional cars make a return. But that’s not all; from improved bikes to subways to new vacation options, SimNation Travel is a great addition to any save.
9 Cars
Teen-Elder Sims can purchase cars from Buy Mode, under Outdoor/Transportation. All cars vary in price, eco-footprint, and environmental score, and different cars also have different fuel efficiencies and maintenance needs. Cars will also need gas and servicing occasionally; how often they’ll need these things depends on the type of car you have. Usually, though, servicing happens every 14-28 days (so, approximatelꦑy once per season), and gas should be filled once every week or so. Cars can be sold, but not in buy mode; to sell a car, click on it, and choose “Sell Car” from the pie menu.
8 Licenses
Sims will also need a license to drive. Sims apply for a license at the DMV, but🌞 teenage Sims will have to complete Driver’s Education lessons first. At 50 Simoleons per lesson, they can be expensive, so an older family member can also teach them for free. Once a teen is eligible to apply for a license, you’ll receive a notification, but you won’t know how they’re progressing, since driving is a hidden skill. Any Sim with a license can purchase a car. The Sim who purchases the car will be automatically assigned as its owner, but all Sims in the household can drive♒ it.
7 New Subway Systꦛem 🍰
For Sims who don’t want or can’t afford a car, anyone Child-Elder can use the subway. The Subway is the cheapest form of transportation, since it doesn🐻’t require any servicing. 7, 14, and 28-day passes are available, after which a Sim won’t be able to travel unless they get a new pass, or a different mode of transportation. Unlike cars, which can be used by any Sim in a family who has a license, every Si🧸m who wants to use the subway will need their own pass. Sims can also use the Subway in combination with things like bikes or cars, depending on the type of traveling they’re doing.
6 Improved Bikes 📖
Bikes were first introduced with The Sims 4: Discover University, and SimNation🅰 Travel makes them function more like cars in terms of the care they need. Bikes can be purchased the usual way, but like cars, they’ll need to be registered in order to use them.
This means that they are only usable by the Sim who registers them; any other household members will need to buy and register their own bikes, or use another form of transportation. Like cars, also need servicing, which happens approximately 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:once per season, or every 21 days. Bikes won’t be usable while they’re being serviced, but luckily,💜 it only takes about 90 minutes.
5 ♒ Realistic Vacations
With SimNation Travel, Sims will need to pay a rental deposit and book international travel reservations. Deposits can range in price depending on what kind of vacation you’re taking, and Sims can pay within a range that they’re willing to put down. Sims can also choose whether to fly in Economy or First Class, which will result in a random buff, and a chance of losing their luggage. Only one reservation a🉐nd deposit is needed per household, and everyone in a household will fly in the sa﷽me class (Economy or First Class).
4 🌌 International Travel and Passpo꧋rts
Some vacation destinations are also considered International destinations, such as Batuu, Granite Falls, Mt. Komorebi, Selvadorada, Sulani, or Windenburg—if your Sims do not live there, of course. Travelling internationally requires a passport, which Sims can obtain with an online appl🌜ication, and a trip to the Passport office. Sims will receive thei🌠r passports in anywhere from 12 to 48 hours, depending on the shipping and service they pay for, and passports and shipping each incur separate fees.
Passports expire every 36 days, after which Sims will have to re-apply if they want to travel internationally again. You don’t need to have all of the packs listed (168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Journey to Batuu, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Outdoor Retreat, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Snowy Escape, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Jungle Adventure, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Island Living, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Get Together) for the mod to work, but of course, you do🐲 need to have the packs associated with the aforementioned worlds in order to travel to them.
3 New As⭕piration: Seasoned Traveler
International travel also counts toward this mod’s new aspiration, Seasoned Traveller♋. This aspect of the mods does require several packs to complete all of the associated goals, including Jungle Adventure, City Living, Snowy Escape, Outdoor Retreat, and Island Living. Fittingly, this aspiration involves a lot of traveling.
Completing this aspiration will give Sims the Prepared Travel reward trait, which reads: “These Sims enjoy traveling all over the world. They have an easier time learning new languages, socializing with strang๊ers, and have more fun when they are not in their home region.” If you want your Sims to actually learn new languages, Adeepindigo recommends installing . Some of these aspiration milestones do involve learning languages, but the mod i💃s not required to complete the aspiration.
2 ♔ 💟New Career: Travel Critic
This new career is modeled off of the Art Critic Career that shipped with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:City Living, except this time you’re focusing on a more natural artistic landscape. Travel Critics will review food, drinks, and performances across the Sims universe, learning skills like photography, writin💧g, and maybe even Selvadoradian culture skill.
Sims can go to work via the usual rabbit hole, or take advantage of new work-from-home interactions. Plus, the hours are short (which leaves plenty of time for exploring these new worlds on your own tim🦋e!), and members of this career gain a boost to their language learning skills—though, this aspect of the mod also requires the Language Barriers mod to function properly. Again, you don’t need Language Barriers to play with SimNation Travel, but it does make the experience feel more complete.
1 Settings And Cheats 🦹
There’s a lot to play with here, and as you experience new parts of the mod, you may find yourself looking for a fresh start. Luckily, there is a way to completely reset all of your existing settings. Within the in-game cheats menu (168澳洲幸运5开奖网:accessed by turning testingcheats on), choosing Reset Mod from the menu will remove all cars, licenses, subway passes, and passports⛦ for every Sim in the neighborhood.
Bikes will stay, but they’ll function as they usually do w💫ithout the mod’s augmented features. recommends using the Reset Mod cheat if you’ve previously played with a test version of the mod🉐 prior to its official release.
