Taxicab

Except for the holes in the ground which go to Magic Town lots, traveling to Sims 1 community areas is done by going to the phone and calling a cab. How much the ride will cost depends on where the Sim is and where they want to go. The ride home is always free, but going to another lot in the same community area may cost.


 * Downtown: The cab is a yellow taxicab. Going to a Downtown lot costs 50 simoleons, regardless of whether it's from home or from another Downtown lot.


 * Vacation Island: The cab is a blue SUV with the Vacation Island logo. Going on vacation costs 500 simoleons, but travel from one Vacation Island lot is free. Unless the Sim is taking a date on vacation, the cab will not come unless all family members are home.


 * Old Town: The cab resembles an old-style streetcar, and is free. Unless the Sim is taking a date to Old Town, it will not come unless all family members are home.


 * Studio Town: For Sims who aren't on the Fame track, the cab is an orange-and-white striped tram with the Studio Town logo. Going to a Studio Town lot as a fan costs 50 simoleons, regardless of whether it's from home or from another Studio Town lot. Sims on the Fame track can call a car that will take them to Studio Town lots for free, but can only go to Studio Town once per day.


 * Magic Town: The cab is a fanciful-looking balloon. Going to Magic Town in the Balloon Cab costs 50 simoleons, but going from one Magic Town lot to another is free. The Balloon Cab will not come unless all family members are home.
