![]() Vu, as he is affectionately known by the Rush Hour team). There are over 80(!) different U-Drive It missions, most of which can be directly attributed to Thomas Vu (or The Insidious Dr. You can also just casually take one of your Sims out for a spin around the city in a vehicle of your choice (and that they can afford). The UFO does not become available to drive until you have Area 5.1, much like the Tank isn't available until you have the Army Base. Other missions are tied to rewards or business deals. For instance, to drive a passenger train mission you will need at least three Passenger Train Stations connected by rail. The U-Drive-It missions are tied to different ploppable buildings. Once you've completed these training missions, you will see real mission options appear as little icons around your city as your city grows and progresses. you will not be required to redo these training missions at the start of each new city). You will only ever be required to do these training missions once to get yourself familiarized with the handling of the different types of vehicles (i.e. You start off with three training missions, that let you command air, sea and land vehicles.
