this hack'll be also pretty useful and makes the game a little bit more realistic and challenging....thanks again!

This is really neat I remember in the Sims 1 that they charged for rides, you know I actually never paid attention to the fact that the Sims 2 didn't have it! Would it be possible to charge a bit though? Thank you so much!

Thank you, I've always thought it was ridiculous taxi rides were free, when in real life it's bloody expensive.

TashaFaun, there are instructions in the readme file on how to set the amount charged to anything you want. I think that $5 is too little even. Maybe $10 or $20 would be better.

Neat! But what about sims moving out or going to college? What if they can't afford the taxi?

I actually just tested this with moving a Sim out of the house, and it does not charge for that taxi trip. It probably will not charge for the taxi to take teens off the college either.

d4nny The readme file explains how to change the price.

dickhurt Thanks for checking the move out ride thingie. If I have any problems wiwth sims going to college, I'll let you know, but I'm thinking it will work fine.

Well, I can see why EAxis did it. After all, in the base game, up until Nightlife, the Taxi was the only option to leave the lot. There were no cars except for when you took the carpool. Of course, now that there are more options (driving to a lot/walking to a lot(NL&BV respectively) it now makes sense to start charging for the Taxi whereas it didn't before.

I don't get why so many Simmers hate Marsha Bruenig. She actually grows up to be quite pretty if you allow her to.

Uuh... The new version is a little bit complicated ! And I've noticed that the first version of it wasn't compatible with Better Phone Message. I didn't know if this new version is...

But, great job ! Some Sims will hate you for the rest of your (and theirs) days

Where do I find df_game_edition_addon.package and df_budget_transact_addon.package? I tried searching for "edition" and "transact" respectively, but nothing showed up?

eta: Nevermind, I noticed your post about InSIMenator, so I went there and found them.

I just wanted to mention that this mod does not work if you have the "Service Taxi Replacement" by hexameter installed. The taxi fails to show up altogether. I removed the mod by hexameter and it worked fine and vice versa. Guess the two mods just don't like each other ... lol. Just thought I'd mention it in case anyone else out there has the horse and carriage installed.

NOT. THE. POINT.

In the real world, you have to earn money. I like these hacks, because they create REALISM.
