Title: Taxi charges money *UPDATED to v1.1*
Post by: nobody7382 on June 11, 2008, 10:54:06 am
1omg  Taxi charges money

* Requires     : Nightlife or any later EP
* Compatibility: Nightlife, Open For Business, Pets, Seasons, Bon Voyage, FreeTime, Apartment Life, & all Stuff Packs
* Modifications: Semi-Global (affects all taxi cabs)
* Hack Version#: 1.1

Update ( 09/21/2008 )
~~~~~~
1.1
- Introduces compatibility with all Expansion Packs from Nightlife through Apartment Life (prior version only worked on FreeTime and nothing else)
- Adds ability to ride the taxi even when you don't have enough money, by putting the family funds into the negative
- Adds charge for the taxi ride back home (enabled by default)
- Adds charge for the taxi ride to a University Secret Society lot (enabled by default)
- Adds charge for the taxi ride to a vacation getaway (enabled by default)
- Adds separate configuration file _CONFIG, for easier version updates
- Adds ability to choose which cost MOD (modification) you desire
- Adds MOD-COST.TXT to help would-be hackers write their own cost MODs

Quick Info
~~~~~~~~~~
* You must also download the following addons for this hack to work correctly:

  df_game_edition_addon.package
  http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=94482 (http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=94482)

  df_budget_transact_addon.package
  http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=94483 (http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=94483)

Riding a taxi will now cost you Simoleons for each trip you take.  The amount charged will vary based on which cost MOD you are using.  The charge is usually either related to the distance between the source & destination lots or is a flat rate fee for each trip.

* You must download a "cost MOD" or else the hack will have no effect and just cause an error preventing you from riding any taxi!

* Check out the readme.txt file for more information.

I thought the sim had to pay 50 bucks on the phone? Hmmm I might be wrong. If wrong, this is much more realistic :)

It probably will not work correctly on Seasons, but I will work on a new version soon that should be compatible with Seasons and earlier.

This is brilliant! Always wondered how Sim Taxi drivers made money, especially with rising petrol costs lol! Thanks for this :D

It's awesome that the price can be based on the distance, I didn't know that was even possible!

I've never tried this mod before.  I love for things to be realistic in my game.  This is truly wonderful!  Thanks so much for updating it for AL, also!

I can't wait to use it,  I'm choosing the one for distance too, it's fantastic to have that ability!

the beauty of it all is now the sims can actually own cars and actually drive them so they won't need a taxi muahahahahahahahaha.:-P
