Finally! Thanks for this mod.

Here's the Russian translation:

Зачем мучиться в загазованном авто, если можно поехать на экологически чистом транспорте: и стиль, и полезно?

(Поездка на экологически чистом транспорт&#1077

@Dennis6791 and Serega_93 Thanks for your translations! I'll add them ASAP.

@JeffreyC Do you have the latest patch? Where did you install these packages? The patch 1.12.70 changed the way to install files, make sure you're following these instructions: Installing Sims 3 Package Files - Old Way to New Way. If you have further doubts/issues, keep posting. I'll test the files anyways. Edit: Do you have Ambitions?

Awesome job! I have been wanting this mod for a long time and I tried to edit the Buffs_XML file but I couldn't get it to work for the life of me.. now I know why. It required a script mod lol I'm still learning myself how to script mod.. so again.. amazing job!

got carried away on the delete I've been avoiding the "new way" as having the files under documents is really stupid and something I always hated about Sims 2. Doing that though has allowed your mod to work. Strange, it is the only mod I've had problems with. Oh well, I guess everything can't been good about Sims 3, back to the dumb having files under documents method.

Thanks for this mod! This was something I never understood...

I've also attached my European Portuguese translation, so please include it (and I believe the same STBL can go with both files)!

@Serega_93 I redownloaded the packages and tested them and everything is working fine for me. Did you installed both packages? Try downloading both and remember to install them to your Mods folder in Documents.

@GTNS Thanks, I just added your translation !

I'm actually having a unique problem. I downloaded this mod, but the game is now treating the Prius and Twizy like it's not a vehicle. It won't snap it to the driveway -- in fact, it insists that I "can't intersect objects" if I try to place it anyway -- although it will let me put it down on the grass anywhere else. When I do so, my Sim refuses to use the vehicle, instead using a taxi. I even tried dragging it into her inventory, but it refused to let me drop it in there. I've tried this with both Eco-Friendly Sims and non-Eco-Friendly Sims, but the result is the same.

I'm using the Old School download method, because I never could get the New Method to work for me. I've noticed JeffreyC had a problem (although he deleted the original post so I don't know if it was the same problem) that was caused by putting downloads in the old place. Is mine the same?

Take Requests?
I always hated the fact that personal libraries in Sim's houses do not get the "Power Study" moodlet. I thought about modding a bookcase so that when Sims are near it, they gain the Power Study moodlet so they read faster. Do you think you would be interested in taking this up?

@Serega_93 That's weird. It works fine for me. I need more information in order to help you. Did you downloaded these cars legitimately (I mean: did you buy the from the Store and installed them through the Launcher)?

@Nukapei It's the same problem JeffreyC had. You have to install them the new way.

@bcollins87 That sounds cool! I'll give it a try, I just started script modding and this mod is pretty simple. So I have to learn more!

you know the way i think about it using an electric car actually hurts the environment more.because even though it doesn't burn fuel i THINK for example that it makes less pollution to burn 30 miles of gas than to produce 30 miles of electricity.
great download and thanks for listening to my thoughts :D

Yes, of course. I try again redownload sets from The Store and fix from MTS and install on my game, but it again work only on Renault Twizy.

@Serega_93 I'm sorry I'm unable to reproduce your issue and I've ran out of ideas. I tried going here to download the Twizy again but it's already owned. So the Russian version and the one I got must be the same. I already suggested this but redownload both files, install them and clear your caches. If that doesn't work, then I don't know what it's going on. Простите.

Well, I'll try it again. I will ask someone from the Russian players to also try this fix in their game. Then I tell the result.

Any update needed with the new updated Prius Eco+Celebration Pack? Or has the code remained the same? I figure it is probably the same, but then again, if something can get screwed up....

Edit: I notice it is even named ToyotaSet2 - where the original was just ToyotaSet. I guess you should check that....

@Evil_Jax Make sure to install packages "the new way".

@Daelda I checked and nothing seems to be changed, the car is the same. So this mod should work.
