Hey everyone,

The time has finally come for your Sim to take to the open road with their very own set of wheels!

This week we present: Drivers Wanted, so buckle up and get ready for a wild ride!

New Project Item

Before your Sim can pick up the keys to their brand new car and drive into the sunset they will have to complete three quests.

The first quest ‘Nice Set of Wheels’ is all about checking out Bella’s beautiful new car ‘The Presto’. Completing this quest will unlock Mr Talbots ‘Learner Car’.

The second quest ‘I Believe I Can Drive’ is about teaching your Sim how to drive with the help of Mr Talbot, Littlehaven’s resident driving instructor. Mr Talbot will teach your Sim all the necessary skills they need to pass their driver’s test! By completing this quest you will unlock your very own car!

The third and final quest ‘Driving In My Car’ will have you aiding Chloe as she applies to get a loan to purchase her very first car. Your Sim will have to help Chloe research what car she would like to buy as well as show her some cool driving games in anticipation of her new purchase. Completing this final stage will unlock your car’s interactions; including ‘WooHoo’ and ‘Respray’, which will let your Sim customise the color of their car!
