If you have Discover University, it will be under Transportation, not Outdoor Activities, and all I can suggest is make sure the package is in your base Mods folder and not in a sub-folder as that can sometimes cause items to not appear in game, and to try running the game with no mods except this one in case you have something that conflicts with it.

If you don't have DU, it seems to be hit and miss. Shows up fine for me, under Outdoor Activities, but two other players have reported not being able to find it. It may be a pack conflict, it may be some other technical problem, or it may even be that it will only be available in a base-game-only installation if your Origin account shows that you've purchased DU although you're not using it on that particular computer (I have DU on my desktop PC, basegame-only on my laptop). I just don't know. Two players without DU have said they can't find it, but I haven't had any other reports of the same.

It didn't work for me idk if was because it doesn't work well with my few other mods or what. Cool motorC though!

This is absolutely AWESOME-SAUCE! -- By any chance would you be able to possibly convert a wheelchair mesh to function like this? I've been dying to really use Lincoln Broadsheet in-game.

Someone messaged me on Discord saying the latest update broke the sound, but I can't confirm since I don't use it.

Yep, that's right, it did indeed, Found out when I patched my game and checked all my creations. My guess is that they changed the Walkstyles AGAIN, this time for the addition of the Firefighter and Repo NPCs? If so, I guess that broke the custom sound, which is a Walkstyle. I see that Sims 4 Studio has not yet been updated for the new patch, they probably are finding it a big task as apparently so much was changed/broken in the patch. When a new version is up, I'll see if this item can be fixed by re-packing it with the new version. If not, I'll repack it without sound and have to call it a day. That's what I get for going out on a limb and making a modded (custom sound) object, thankfully all my other stuff still works fine - what is it with EA, the game is 5 1/2 years old yet they still have to keep breaking it regularly with continual patches? Firefighters and Repo were in the TS2 base game upon release, why add them to TS4 after 5 1/2 years? Argh. /rant, ha ha.

Sorry if I'm being a bother, but does this still work? And any possibility for a fix for the custom sound?

No bother! I haven't played The Sims 4 in a couple of years, so had to fire it up and spend about an hour of the EA launcher downloading & installing updates so that I could test it, and yes, this bike no longer works. Can only guess it's due to the patch that coincides with the horse EP, with its new riding animations. I'll look into re-cloning the bike and see if that works. Unfortunately there's no possibility of a fix for the custom sounds, as I don't know how to fix whatever they broke THAT time.

ETA: Ugh, having looked into it, it looks like it's probably not the horseriding but that EA added a bunch more bicycles of different types since I last played, which added a lot of changes and new effects. I can't even re-clone the bike, because that throws up loads of errors to do with things that didn't exist before. I'll have to remake the whole thing from scratch. As IRL is extremely busy at the moment, that may take some time, sorry. Will see what I can do.

Thanks so much! It's okay if fixing it isn't in the cards, your life stuff is more important. I'll be fine either way.
