I've been griping about this little discrepancy since Ambitions came out - thanks for fixing it! I'll give it a go tomorrow, after I am awake - lol

Great job, I know a lot of people who were really annoyed that it didn't work with those cars. Thanks for fixing it O(^o^)O

Twizy only has one seat anyway, silly EAxis.

Life is moving too fast, I don't have the energy to keep up.

Yay! I've been trying to figure out how to do this myself, but I couldn't find the right thing to modify. Now I don't have to wrack my brain any more!

By the way, the Twizy may only have one seat, but two people can ride in the car, as I found out by surprise when one of my Sims went on a date with one of my other Sims -- they rode together in a Twizy!

Yay! Thankyou so much! This has been irritating me since the day I bought the game! Whoop!

Thanks so much! Just yesterday I tried to get my Eco-Friendly Sim to drive a Twizy and was shocked that she got the negative "Wasting Natural Resources" moodlet. I thought the whole point of the Twizy was that it ran off of electricity, not "natural resources". So instead of going back to a super-slow bike, I just used testingcheats to remove the Eco-Friendly trait. Now I can put it back on, yay!

Thanks, it's great to see this change, one that I've been wondering about since Ambitions came out.

Will these two mods - the Prius and the Twizzy - work together at the same time? I have *both* of the Eco packs installed, so I just want to make sure....

Thank you so much, I came across the same thing as people stated above. I had an eco-friendly sim so I thought, oh I'll buy her a Twizy. And what's this? A negative moodlet from driving it? Dur EA come on!?

Oh, yes! I've been waiting for this! How silly to get a driving alone negative moodlet while sitting in a one-seater Twizy! Thank you for this great mod!

I'm wondering the same thing as I have both.

What a great idea - this makes so much more sense. Thanks for sharing =)

Thank you so much! I was just contemplating requesting this somewhere, because it seemed like such an obvious thing, but then I thought, well, gee, it's such a tiny thing... probably no-one cares enough about it to create a fix, but obviously I am not alone!

@Impatient Cow Thanks for the translation. I'll add it soon.

@Daelda and WinHawk Yes, it'll work. I have both cars installed and this mod running and no problems so far. They are separate files because not everyone might have both.

@mollipopster I'm always there to fix these annoyances. I also made a fix for Xing the tiger toy from the Store. If you have it and open your toybox, you'll notice that this tiger and the rabbit are treated as the same object. I made a small fix for it.

I haven't shared it, because it's a very tiny fix and I'm sure most people haven't noticed it .

My sim would be afraid of riding in a Twizy. Talk about death on wheels.

It was shortly after reading the Harry Potter scene about the magical car trunks that I got it - Sims use wizard cars! That, or they like to practice for the circus.

Thanks for this! I made an eco-sim and hated that she always took her damned scooter all the time, even if she had the Prius and her police car available. Now that I finally found the solar panels, she can be truly happy!

Seems to work great! My Eco-Sim uses her cute white-pink Twizzy with pride! Thank you VERY much!

Thanks for this mod.

Here's the German translation:

Warum in einer Abgasschleuder rumfahren, wo doch viel umweltfreundlichere Fahrzeuge so toll aussehen?

Thanks for this...Maybe now I can get rid of the bike.

Strangest thing happened...my eco-friendly sim went into labor...and proceeded to hop on her bicycle and ride it to the hospital, even though there was a perfectly fine car right in the driveway.
