Is it safe to leave vehicles parked in the game world? Do zombies attack them?

[The Elder Scrolls IV: Sex Mod]

Wondering if it's worth the hassle to open the radial menu and take a vehicle back into my inventory then replace it again outside after I'm done looting a place, or if I'm fine to just leave it on the side of the road while I scavenge

Zombies have no interest in your vehicle if you are not on/in it.

just... make sure if you're running Trader missions at a POI, do NOT park your vehicle on the plot itself. It could get wiped out when the place is reset for a quest. Best to park it across the street or next door.

Also, while zombies will basically ignore your vehicle for the most part, if they try to path through it, they might take a random swing at it as they pass, just as they would for any terrain or tree, ect. So while it’s not a serious worry, it’s best not to leave your vehicle where zombies will be running past on horde night, and don’t park it next to a wall that zombies might try to swing at.

Otherwise, it’s fine to leave your vehicle around the place, just keep it out of POI areas that you’re resetting, as mentioned above.

Vehicles are made very durable. It would probably take a hundred or more errant hits to destroy one. The bigger threat, historically, has been vehicles that accidentally fall through the ground and out of the world. That's been theoretically fixed, and I haven't experienced it in ages, but if you want to be absolutely sure you don't lose your vehicle it could be worth picking up.

Highly doubt this. Your car isnt part of the poi so why would it be reset? When you start a quest you are on the plot, so does that make your skills and inventory reset? I always park my car on the poi, never had any problems.

The POI reset will nuke any player placed blocks/entities/objects, including chests and such even if it has items in it.

There have been reports of the POI reset nuking vehicles as well, as it is technically a player placed block/entity/object when the player isn't in it.

That said, I have never personally experienced it and I park my vehicle in the POI area as well when doing quests.

The vehicles are entities, so one could test this more safely by, say, shooting some arrows into the POI, or dropping some small stones on the ground, and seeing if they disappear on hitting the quest marker. I haven't really tested this, but I'd be surprised if vehicles can disappear from starting a quest. For one thing, surely somebody would've complained about losing their vehicle this way by now.

I did a test on this now, put 40 motorcycles in a poi and hit the start quest. All of them survived, I think its pretty safe to leave it wherever.

The unsafe part will be taking on the biker gang apparently meeting up in that house.

Your Vehicle won’t disappear when a POI is reset however, if something spawns inside of it, like a car that you’d broken down, tree you cut down or a pallet of cement you collected, it will blow the vehicle up. At least, in A18, and I dont think it’s changed for A19. So once again, a minor worry, but better safe than sorry.

Haha yeah.! I should have filmed my first try at this at the stripclub, it really looked like a bikergang was having a party there. :)

Tested this also, it doesnt do anything to your vehicle. You might need to break down the car again to get to your vehicle.

Good to know then. I've always erred on the side of caution and parked clear just to stay safe.

A18, so it’s possible they fixed it, but I haven’t tested it myself.
