Default Going to Old-Town alone?
Hii! I wonder if a mod to travel alone to old-Town exists because going to the shop to get some groceries with the whole family is a little bit annoying.

You could put the item that sells whatever it is you want to buy in a community lot in Magic Town or Downtown. You go to Magic Town as a whole family if you call on the phone, but you go as a single individual if you jump in a hole ... and it's free.

I've made some mods for The Sims 1 -- yes, The Sims ONE :-) -- which you can find at http://corylea.com/Sims1ModsByCorylea.html

Good idea, I do that all the time but I wanted to use more oldtown for a change but I guess there is no way to do that, thanks ❤

You can go t Old Town without your family without any mods, but not really alone: when calling someone over the phone, you will get the prompt to either Just Talk, Invite Over or Invite Out. One of the options to go out is Old Town, where both sims will enter a date, even if it's just a friendly get together. You can either continue the minigame or say goodbye to your sims' companion.

Here's what I did: I turned the empty Downtown lot into a farmer's market and placed everything you buy in later expansions on it (seeds, berries, baking goods, mask stand, candle stand, poster stands, etc). Then I downloaded the vegetable cart upgrade from Simslice (http://simslice.com/freebies/ProgramsAndPatches.html) which makes it so you can place the veggie cart with Farmer Gardener Bob in Downtown. Now my sims can go buy seeds and groceries or sell produce without dragging along the entire family and all their pets. They can also buy all the little knick-knacks they want in one convenient spot, but there is a catch: the posters and candles require a "return home" action that Downtown doesn't trigger, so they will remain in the sim's inventory when they get home. The solution is simply to make them go somewhere that triggers the "return home," so I make them jump into the Magic Town hole and immediately return, which prompts them to go empty their inventory of their treasures so you can place them. It's not elegant, but to me it beats having them run all over creation to buy stuff.

Anyway, this is not exactly the same as going to Old Town alone, but with the vegetable cart hack you will be able to buy everything Downtown that you could in Old Town and will no longer need to go to Old Town for anything except the ambiance (which is admittedly quite nice). You can even make a pet adoption center Downtown if you want. I think the only thing you can't get Downtown is Miss Lucille--the mask stands do not summon her Downtown, so you'll still need to go to Old Town if you want to revive a dead sim or roll the dice for a rejuvenating fortune.

One final advantage: needs decay slower Downtown than they do in Old Town! (Why? I do not know!)

Okey I found the best solution EVER :

Those above are maxis cars, now I found a LOT of custom cars which are amazing, is there any way to transfer the functionality of the pandora's ones to this new ones?, because even though this new ones are rideable, you can't travel alone

In various different Sims communities, for The Sims 1, 2, 3, and 4, I've seen people complain that Pandora Sims grabbed objects that belonged to others and put them up for sale. I'd be careful about anything downloaded from there, maybe test them in a neighborhood you don't care about first...
