Engine Sound Remover for CC Electric Vehicles (and other CC EV Fixes)

What Does This Mod Do?
1. This mod makes select custom content electric vehicles use the proper "electric vehicle" sound that the Toyota Prius Plug-in and Renault ZOE Preview from The Sims 3 Store used, instead of using the base game engine sounds that most CC vehicles use.
2. This mod makes the Toyota Prius Plug-in and Renault ZOE Preview from The Sims 3 Store much faster than they originally were.
3. This mod changes the Toyota Prius Plug-in and Renault ZOE Preview's in-game notifications so that they use vehicle-agnostic language.
4. This mod doubles the bill discount on the Renault ZOE Preview (and all listed fully electric CC vehicles) to 10%, compared to their 5% default.
5. This mod adds compatibility for all of the listed CC vehicles to Sims MX's Save the Environment Driving Eco-Friendly Cars mod.

What Doesn't This Mod Do?
1. This mod DOES NOT contain ANY of the necessary files to make any of the listed Store or CC vehicles appear in your game and function. This mod's ONLY job is to retune the mentioned vehicles. In order to actually make them appear in your game, you must download the CC vehicles from their respective creators. I have hyperlinked every supported vehicle to make this easier.
2. This mod DOES NOT provide the functionality of Sims MX's aforementioned Moodlet Fixer mod. Sims with the "Eco-Friendly" trait will still get negative moodlets when driving green energy vehicles if you only have this mod installed. In order for Sims to get the positive Eco-Friendly moodlet when driving green energy vehicles (including the ones mentioned here), you will still need to download Sims MX's mod.

The following vehicles receive ONLY change #5, as listed above.

Will You Add/Change XYZ Vehicle?
Maybe! These are the CC EVs that I play with, so they're the only ones I fixed. If I missed a plug-in hybrid, fully electric, or hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle (and you want me to add it), just let me know! This mod is very simple, so adding support for other vehicles isn't difficult. I'm not perfect (nor am I a modding genius), so I'm always open to helpful feedback. If I messed something up, you have a suggestion for improvement, or if I missed a CC EV entirely, don't hesitate to let me know!

The only exception is regular hybrids. I will add regular hybrids to Sims MX's Moodlet Fixer, but I cannot give them bill discounts and other special interactions. The way these overrides work simply won't allow for it. I can't remember if the EA Toyota Prius and Toyota Prius v have a bill discount. Regardless, (if they do) it's beyond my knowledge as to how EA did that without giving them custom Script Classes. (Read more about that in the "How Does This Mod Work?" section.)

What Happens If I Install This Mod Without Any of the CC Vehicles or Sims MX's Moodlet Fixer?
The Toyota Prius Plug-in and Renault ZOE Preview will still have their notifications, interactions, speed, acceleration, and bill discount values altered as specified.

Nothing bad will happen. This mod is nothing but XML, OBJK, and STBL overrides. If there is nothing for the game to override, then it simply won't do anything with said overrides. I do, however, recommend that you use the listed CC vehicles (mostly because I hate EA's default cars), but like... it's your game. Do what you want.

I've tested this mod without Sims MX's Moodlet Fixer mod, and I can confirm nothing bad will happen. Again, I do recommend it (just to get that Vanilla+ game feeling), but once again... it's your game. Do what you want.

How Does This Mod Work?
This mod overrides the tuning XMLs and English STBLs for the Store Vehicles, as well as the OBJKs for the CC vehicles. It also provides an override for Sims MX's Moodlet Fixer tuning file. In order of the "What Does This Mod Do?" section...

How Can I Change XYZ?
If you want to change the speed, acceleration, and/or bill discount of the Toyota Prius Plug-in (and other plug-in hybrids) or Renault ZOE Preview (and other fully electric vehicles), you have two options:

Method 1
Use NRaas Retuner

Method 2
Use Sims 3 Package Editor (S3PE)

Installation
This mod MUST be placed in your Overrides folder.

Sims MX's Moodlet Fixer, all mentioned CC vehicles, and any packages containing the required Store content MUST be in your Packages folder.

By the way it's designed, the Mods folder gives higher loading priority to things in the Overrides folder. Therefore, in order to make the game prioritize my XMLs, STBLs, and OBJKs, they must be given higher priority than the ones that come in their default packages. If you do not follow these instructions, there is a very high likelihood that something won't work because the game will not be overriding the default files with this mod's.

Requirements
For Plug-in Hybrids to work, you MUST have the Toyota Prius Plug-in from The Sims 3 Store installed into your game.

For fully Electric Vehicles to work, you MUST have the Renault ZOE Preview from The Sims 3 Store installed into your game.

If you attempt to install this mod without these two vehicles, it will BREAK any of mentioned CC EVs. It will render them completely undriveable because their Script Class will be defined as something that is not in the game.

Both of these vehicles were once available for free on The Sims 3 Store. The Renault ZOE Preview remains as such. However, the Toyota Prius Plug-in's promotional period (and EA's license) has been expired for many years, so it is discontinued. This means you cannot download the Prius Plug-in from The Sims 3 Store anymore. However, thanks to the efforts of The Sims 3's community, this vehicle (and the rest of the Prius Family Pack content) has been archived in various places across the internet.

Translation
This mod contains only the English STBL file for the Prius Plug-in and ZOE Preview. These vehicles (like all EA official content) had STBLs for all languages supported by the game. However, because I made extensive changes to the STBLs, I did not simply want to include the unmodified non-English STBLs. I (unfortunately) only speak English, so it isn't possible for me to translate the new STBLs into any other language. However, if you want to export another language's STBLs from the Prius Plug-in or ZOE Preview's files and make the same changes I did (or even just directly translate the English STBL in this mod), then that's fine by me! I'll gladly add any translations if someone makes one.

Compatibility
The only conflict I can think of would be if YOU have previously made changes to Sims MX's Moodlet Fixer tuning file. If you have manually added vehicles to their mod, this mod will override them. If you find green energy vehicles and want them added, please do let me know! Otherwise, you will have to add them yourself by editing the tuning file found in this mod. NOT the one found in Sims MX's mod file.

Other than that, I can't imagine any other conflicts would be possible. I suppose if you have another mod which makes changes to the XMLs or STBLs from the Store vehicles (or the OBJKs from the CC vehicles), those could conflict. However, I doubt any such mods exist.
