Thanks for this! I noticed in the video that each Sim was charged individually. Is there a way to make it so that if a group of Sims gets in the cab, they will be charged only one fee for the whole group? In my city, the number (or age) of individuals doesn't matter, the fee is based solely on the distance traveled, and it would be nice to be able to implement that in my game.

OMG, this is awesome! Love this so much!

You are the best!

Yeah... We tried it that way, but there is no way to actually do that right now. I could not find a piece of code that represented the actual 'time' in the Sims 3 code. I just decided to do a flat fee. I thought that would be easier to handle, especially with discounts and such.

There is a way to just charge on person in the group for the total fee, but you will have to make sure that that sim (whichever you want to be 'ring leader') is active/selected. I found that out through trail and error.

(^.^) I'm glad you love it.
I completely understand how you feel. But you will get the last laugh because they will now have to pay for their cab rides to the subway, and possibly soon the subway rides.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but this current mod does not affect inactive sims; however, with a few simple tweaks, I can make that happen! I also learned through trial and error.
