Garages

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.the-sims (More info?)

I've learned that if a house has a garage & I buy a car & just place it
into the driveway, the Sims won't drive it into the garage themselves.
They just keep driving into the driveway & getting out. So I have to
move the car myself into the garage. LOL I guess I think my Sims are
smarter than they are. heehee

Wait till they have a car stolen. Then they'll start parking it in the
garage!

LOL... I sort of noticed the same thing yesterday. That is, that you
can place cars in the driveway, in front of the garage, while having
one in the garage as well. So if one sim works longer, he gets the car
on the outside, and the other sim who goes to work after him, and
arrives before him, takes the one inside. Or if you have a
stay-at-home sim, they can use the one inside the garage to take the
kids to school, go downtown, shopping etc.

Oh, I'm so glad I'm not the only one who noticed this. I kept clicking on
the garage waiting for the "Garage the Car" option or something like
that.....and nothing!

Also, am I the only one who can't put a door for my Sims in any side wall of
a free-standing garage? I can place windows, but not doors. I wanted my
Sim to park the car, put down the garage door and then go through the side
door across the breezeway to the house. But it doesn't happen, as I can't
put a door in the wall. Haven't tried with a garage attached to the
house yet, will see if that changes things.

Hehe, I've already had a thief, twice, luckily both cars had alarms!

You have to build the garage at least one tile larger than the
driveway slab, otherwise they can't access it. Theres a corresponding
floortile for each slab. Hope that helps.
