Hi, everyone!

My WA worlds are a mess!

Especially Egypt which is littered with Taxi cabs. Is there a way to stop taxis from taking over the worlds? I have the 'Traffic' mod installed and tried adjusting one of the settings which dealt with EA generated vehicles (the last one in settings, I think). The result was there were no cabs but also no one could use their bikes or any other form of transportation and had to walk or run to far of destinations. So, I returned it to its original setting and the cabs have taken over once again. There is also the side-effect of no one being able to use any transportation still.

How do I solve this problem?

Thanks.

Are sims actually getting into these taxis, or are they empty taxis that are just driving around town?
The latter is the ghost-taxi system from Late Night, added to all worlds by Traffic. Setting the Traffic Delta to -500 is supposed to stop these spawning. Adjusting this shouldn't have any other side effects because these weren't real to begin with- so I'd suggest checking that you didn't make other changes, or have tuning mods in play, that are restricting real taxi routing.

I personally have bad luck with those taxis no matter what settings I use and end up taking Traffic out entirely- but that could be a conflict on my end or specific to the world it happens in.

I use -15 to stop this, and it seems to work fine.

@CardinalSims and @Turjan - Thank you or responding.

@CardinalSims - No, sims don't seem to be using them in any of the vacation worlds, taxis are just there clogging up bridges and pathways. I am pretty certain they are the ghost taxis. I only adjusted the one setting which (after the change) wiped out all sims being able to use their bikes or scooters.

One thing I forgot to mention in the initial post is I do have Ani's 'Mountain Bike' mod installed and in play. My sim in Egypt (not France or China) had the bike in her inventory. I ended up deleting Ani's bike and purchasing the base game one from the General Merchant, but the end result was the same, she didn't use the basic bike and continued (like the rest of the population) to run or walk everywhere. I don't know if this would have an effect on the taxis or not but since they are both vehicles of transportation, maybe??

@Turjan - I am going to use your setting and see what happens. I initially set it to -30, I'm hoping the lower number works.
