Mod Function
With this mod, your sims will be charged for Taxi rides. Your sim will call a taxi, pay the fee accordingly, and continue to their destination as usual.
Details
Is your sim addicted to riding taxis? Have you had enough of their free rides? Do you think Sailor Moon is the best anime ever?
Well, you're in luck!
Starting today, you can now charge your sims for their precious taxi rides. That's right! Surprise them like giving your cat their first bath. They will love it for sure! So whenever they call for a taxi, they will charged a fee every time.
This is a full script custom mod that took forever to code, so I'm sure it will be downloaded with love.

How It Works
This code is activated whenever a sim calls or uses a taxi.
- If the sim has money to cover the fee, then the sim is charged, money will be taken out of the sim's household fund, and given a positive notification before proceeding.
- If the sim does not have money to cover the fee, then the sim's charge will be added to the sim's unpaid household bills and given a negative notification, then the taxi will proceed.

To be fair to everyone, there are different fees for each age group.
Age Group | Default Fee | Tuning Description | Fees Changeable in Tuning |
---|---|---|---|
Young Adult/Adult | 20 | Base Fee | Yes |
Elder | 50% of Base Fee | Elder Discount Fee | Yes |
Teen | 70% of Base Fee | Teen Discount Fee | Yes |
Child | 30% of Base Fee | Child Discount Fee | Yes |

Explanation
I did not want everyone to pay the same fee. In the real world, there are discounts for the age groups.
If the base fee is 20 simoleons, Elders will pay 50% (10 simoleons), Teens will pay 70% (14 simoleons), and Children will pay 30% (6 simoleons).
You can change the Base fee and the discount percentages in the XML file (inside of the package).

Credits
This mod would not be possible if not for my friend, SucialSpiders, who wanted a taxi charge in the game. I have finished this in your honor.
Ms. Byte (CmarNYC). I know, you know, we all know how many times I have said 'Thank you' to you while creating this. If not for your guidence and forcing me to relearn a language that has been dead in my head for so long, I would not have finished this mod. I honestly would have just given it to you. Thank you once again (not the last time).

For the other people who have tested this mod and have given advice, Thank You for your services. Your sims game will love you.
Last but not least, my computer. Because you held out until the end, or until I replaced your battery. You are the best thing ever. Let's watch Sailor Moon sometime, yes?
