Carpool Replacements for Medieval / Fantasy / Rustic Neighborhoods
These vehicles are made to complement Hexameter's NPC vehicle replacements so that you can play a neighborhood that is almost entirely free of anything modern.
Below are two files, you should download only one of them. Download "Carpool Replacements.rar" if you have Pets or anything later. Download "Carpool Replacements (Basegame+)" if you have just the Basegame, University, Nightlife, or Open for Business, or any combination of these without anything else.
I have tested these at length and they seem to work well. They do not seem to conflict with my custom carpools that I use in my careers, nor with Hexameter's drivable cars upon which they are based. Pets use them just fine. I have marked this as "in testing" because I haven't explored every situation possible nor every game configuration. I don't expect any problems. If you have any, let me know and I will do my best to figure it out.
To install these, just drop them into your downloads folder and remove them when you want the normal carpool to come again. Note, however, that if you have saved your lot with a carpool sitting on the road outside, then you try to add or remove the default replacements and load that lot again, the game will crash. If this happens, simply exit the game, remove (or add, as the case may be) the default replacements, restart the game, play the lot, let the carpool leave, and then save again. Then exit the game and put in (or take out) the carpool replacements. I haven't tried to change the carpools while a sim is at work, but I don't feel that this would be a problem.
While you have these in your downloads folder, the normal carpools will not come for any career, even custom ones. This will affect all your neighborhoods, so that if you want to go from your medieval neighborhood to your modern one, you will have to quit the game, remove the replacement carpools from your downloads folder, then restart the game and play the modern neighborhood. Any custom career that calls the normal carpools will call these instead. Custom carpools will not be affected.
Note that while they have the same appearance, these are completely separate objects from the vehicles of Hexameter's that they are based on, and from previous custom carpools I have made. If you want Hexameter's drivable rickshaw, and my replacement for the sedan, and you want the carpool to come properly for my warrior career, you must have all three vehicles.
All of these vehicles have custom sound, created by Hexameter. The sound package is included, but is unnecessary if you already have it from one of Hexameter's other vehicles, or maybe from a career I made.
Just in case you want to know:
The ambulance, police car, and minivan are replaced by three different versions of Hexameter's Pioneer covered wagon.
The sports cars are replaced by red, blue, and yellow versions of Hexameter's Rendezvous hansom.
The town car, limo, and executive helicopter are replaced by the brown, black, and white versions of Hexameter's victorian carriage.
The HMV is replaced by a darker version of Hexameter's Pioneer uncovered wagon.
The military helicopter is replaced by Hexameter's chariot.
The sports team bus is replaced by Hexameter's school bus replacement.
The hatchback is replaced by Hexameter's ridable horse.
The sedan is replaced by Hexameter's rickshaw.
Here's a screenshot:

Credits:
Hexameter created all the wagon meshes and has graciously allowed their use by me. He also created all of the horse meshes for the vehicles except for the ones for the Sports Team Bus replacement, these were created by Dragon Slave with texture by Charme699. Without these people, these objects could not exist. I can't mesh and I'm not good at texturing. I can't thank them enough. Hexameter in particular was extrememly helpful, and we have been writing back and forth for some time now. So much that I fear that I have taken his attention away from his own projects. I am extremely grateful for all his help.

This is a new mesh, and means that it's a brand new self contained object that usually does not require a specific Pack (although this is possible depending on the type). It may have Recolours hosted on MTS - check below for more information.
