Hi everyone.. This time I bring you one of the cars that I love so much

You know The Mystery Machine, there are many models that represent it and it's difficult to choose one
I chose the Volkswagen Bus to create The Mystery Machine for The Sims 3...

*UPDATE* [15/12/2011]
The new 1.29 patch puts the car accessories in the sim's inventory after driving
I've fixed the accessories, now all works fine
Please Redownload the new file and delete or overwrite the old one.
Sorry about that, this patches really make me crazy...

I have made 4 presets using the stencils.

Preset 1 - Mystery Machine in english
Preset 2 - Mystery Machine in Simlish Style
