A new mod by LORHANDAGOTH! LORHANDAGOTH mod notes:

Update: 08/08/2026

New features: - Sims can now talk to each other inside the car (both when parked and while driving). - Added kTalkChancePercent setting. See the XML Tuning section for details.

Bug Fixes: Fixed an issue where selecting "Nap..." while driving together to a community lot forced the Sim out of the car.

Translations: Added Traditional Chinese translation by kimho406 (currently supported languages: English, Russian, Traditional Chinese).

No matter where your Sims are headed, be it a fun road trip, a lively party at a friend's house, or a visit to relatives who might be short on beds, the car is always part of the adventure. This mod adds a few more interactions to vehicles: Sims can sit in the car, take a nap, or turn the headlights on whenever they feel like it.

Features:

- Sit in the car: Sims can sit in any seat, driver's or passenger's, and just relax for a while. Fun goes up while they're inside. - Nap in the car: Sims can take a nap in the parked car (or even in a moving one, if they're a passenger), slowly restoring energy with a custom sleeping animation. - Toggle headlights: You can turn the headlights of a parked car on or off. They stay on until you switch them off or someone drives the car. - Traits matter: Sims with the "Vehicle Enthusiast", "Adventurous", or "Loves the Outdoors" traits get better rest from car naps and won't wake up with a sore back. Sims without these traits aren't always so lucky.

Compatibility:

- It's a lightweight script mod. It doesn't override any core game files or write to your save file, so it's 100% safe to add or remove anytime.

XML Tuning (via s3pe):

- kSitDurationMinutes: How long (in Sim minutes) a Sim sits in the car. Default: 120. Set to 0 to sit until canceled. - kNapMaxMinutes: How long (in Sim minutes) a Sim naps. Default: 0 (sleeps until fully rested). - kEnergyRateNormal: Energy restore rate for ordinary Sims. Default: 0.85. - kEnergyRateTraited: Energy restore rate for Sims with the listed traits. Default: 1.2. - kTalkChancePercent: The chance (in %) that Sims in the car will start talking. Default: 45.

Install:

- Just drop CarInteractions.package and CarInteractionsSleepAnim.package into your Mods/Packages folder. Done! Download from MTS! More car-related mods by LORHANDAGOTH below! Car Radio:

Brings fully functional radios to cars! Just click a vehicle to turn the radio on/off, change the station, skip tracks, or adjust the volume.

Features:

- Works exactly like regular in-game stereos. - NPCs will turn on the radio while driving and play their favorite genres! (The chance of this happening is tunable). - Service vehicles (police, ambulances, ice cream trucks, etc.) don't get radios by default. You can edit this list. - All text is pulled directly from the game, meaning it's automatically translated into all languages (except for the pie menu). Read more and download from MTS!

Car Speed:

Sometimes you just want your Sims to go for a nice, slow drive. This mod lets you actually pick their driving speed. Throw in my Car Radio mod, slow down, put on some music, and just enjoy the ride.

Right now, my mod only supports English and Russian.

Features:

- Change speeds while driving: Just click on the car your Sim is in, open the new "Speed..." menu, and pick your pace. - Three speeds to choose from: They automatically adapt to whatever car you're driving:

High (1.0) - This is the car's default (maximum) in-game speed.

Medium (0.60) - A nice, normal pace.

Low (0.30) - Perfect for a slow, scenic cruise.
