As soon as I was about to give up on new Sims 3 cars this upload showed up. Although it's yet another Big Lemon clone, it has to make do. Great work.

Wow...nice! You know, it would make a great default replacement for the lemon we always see.

Thank you guys so much! I'll work on a default replacement. See you soon!

*Update on Default Replacement:*

Well, as it turns out, replacing the default mesh proved itself to be the easy part. The default replacement lemon mesh pops up no problem. The default texure is another matter. Those appaling steel wheels WILL show every now and then. It will work fine though, if you are patient enough to go around town and recolor each and eveyone Big Lemon, BUT, for some odd reason, EA base car uses a different pallete for a entirely different "Full Grey Lemon" (without the mismatched color doors) whenever one of these hellspawns are newly acquired by a NPC's. So, unless i find a definitive solution for this problem, without demanding the user to fiddle with its core game files, i'll just leave it like that for the time being.

I'm accepting suggestions though

Oh, that's annoying! I'd secretly love to default-replace every vehicle in the game with one of these gloriously dated 80s cars but if that's not practically possible, well that's a shame.

Good one! There's a reference to texture tweaker! I'll give it a good read through in the its and bits of it to see how it works. Hopefully there's a light in the end of the tunnel! Thanks!
