As you work on building a family inThe Sims 2, you may find that public transportation is less than acceptable when it comes to getting to work, taking the kids to school, or just going out with friends. While it’s nice to have work come pick you up, sometimes you need a change of pace. That’s where your own personal vehicle comes in.

Demonstrate your wealth in The Sims 2 buy building a garage and buying a car. We’ll show you just how simple it can be to buy a car and house it safely so you can drive to work in style.

How To Get A Car

To get a car for your Sim, you’ll need tostart by adding a drivewayto the lot. This can be foundin the build menu under the garageicon. You’ll finddriveways and garage doors, as well as a helipad in this section.

Select the longer drivewaywith a small bar at the bottom. The larger section of the driveway will go in your lot and thesmall bar will hang over the sidewalk. You’ll need to place the driveway so itconnects to the streetand has enoughspace for your Sim to back out.

After it’s placed, you canpurchase a carfrom themiscellaneous section of Buy Mode. Below are all the available cars you may find:

$950

$2,250

$4,250

$6,250

Once you pick your car,place it in the drivewayto purchase it. You can thenassign an ownerto the car by clicking on it. Additionally, you can send a Sim toget a car alarm installed for 250 Simoleons. The installment takes an hour of in-game time.

When you assign ownership of the car to a Sim, theSim will always take that car to workand when leaving the lot.
