A wee bit of a nightlife problem... -Sigh-

I had the same problem with the car (a Maxis one) on the first day I got NL. Nothing seemed able to fix it (and at the time, I had removed all hacks.)
What I ended up doing was sending my Sim home in a taxi and the car was there when she got home. ???
hmm I have only had the problem when the car is assigned to a different family member using it at that particular time. the woohoo issue I get a lot in downtown for some reason. my sim can whoo hoo at home in their drive way or a neighborhood community lot but not downtown

I've had a problem to woohoo on a downtown lot just this weekend but did came around it. Let me explain the scenario.
My romance Sim went on a date and they were really a perfect match. During the date they fell in love with each other. Both had the want to woohoo in the car which would make me get a "dream date". I put my Sim in the car, clic on the other Sim to join no problem for that, but the option to woohoo would not appear. I made them go out of car and back in a few times with no luck. So I decided just for fun to go on another lot and see if I would have that problem. To my surprise the option to woohoo in the car was now available. My guess is that the game did not save the relationship when it was on the other lot and thought they were not in love yet, since when we go to another lot the game do save, it updated the relationship making the option to woohoo available.
I did not try to send Sims which were already in love to woohoo in a car on downtown lot but my guess is it should work.
As for the other car problem which is not being able to come back home with it from a downtown lot. I never experience it and made Sim which are assign as owner go, Sim that are not assign and Sims that the car was assign to another Sim. For all these options, I never experience a problem. I have sent at least 20 different Sims on downtown lots on many occasion, send them to regular community lots too, send them to downtown lots then on regular community lots on the same trip all this with no problem. I don't have hacks in my game at all, maybe one of them is causing this in your game? This is just a thought...

I had this problem (I still have it) and I did some pretty extensive testing (in my own opinion) and found some interesting results. You can read my posts over at MTS2 in the help section, or you can just read the result here :)
--------------------------------------------------------
I have found what is the cause of my problem! (sort of)
It is indeed something in my meshes folder, but I haven't found out yet. I have found out One very important thing though. When I buy a car for my sim, assign it to him/her (tried this 10 times), the first drive to a community lot always results in a taxi ride home. However, the second time in the same car, she/he can return home in his/her own car! But if I sell the old car, buy a new one and assign it to that sim, the first ride downtown results in a taxi ride again, and the second time I go, I can use my car again!
I uninstalled the whole game (all ep's) and reinstalled it, patched it, but only put in my hacks, reinstalled CEP, mesh folder, recolors folder (not the skins just yet), but I didn't try my neighborhoods. I created a custom neighborhood from the list. Then I created new sims everytime I put in a folder and tried taking them downtown.
testing (1)
Clean game- sim(a) can go downtown, can return home no problems.
Just hacks- sim(a) and sim(b)(newly created) can go downtown, can return home no problems.
hacks+CEP+meshes- sim(a) and sim(b)(newly created) can go downtown, can return home no problems. BUT! sim (c) newly created cannot return home in car, so I make him take taxi home. Then I again direct him to go downtown in the same car, and he can go home from there this time.
testing (2)
hacks+CEP+meshes- change car (sell and buy higher models)for sims (a,b and c), assign them to sims, go downtown- return home in taxi. Then try again after returning home, successful!
I think before when I first came across this problem, I always quitted to neighborhood without saving and tried different families all the time. Now I'm gonna see if my old neighborhoods can be saved, maybe at the weekend I'll try and see what causes this problem or maybe next week
**** I'm back. I put my custom neighborhood in from my backup file (it was an after- nightlife neighborhood so it's totally compatible, just the car problem), and the same result, the second time my sim goes downtown she can go home in her car, With a date even! I'm soo happy it finally works, even if it doesn't work the way it's meant to. I can see it maybe as a 'drunk-take taxi home' or 'new car too scared to drive it back home' incident

If you have any questions, pm me, as I'm not around much these days ;D
ZephyrZodiac:
Just out of interest, have you fitted alarms to your cars? I always do that first thing, and so far I've only once had a problem with a car, when the teenage passenger wouldn't get in, but that was due to the lot i was at suffering from furious sim syndrome! (When the adult sim got home, she was there!) Normally, I operate my cars without any problems at all. (Oh, and I have several custom cars in my game, the only wierd thing about them being that every time the sim gets in he or she claps their hands and then somehow teleports into the drivers seat - same applies to the harley.)
