I decided to re-purpose the Police Crown Victoria into a taxi model for SimCity. This mod is part of my ongoing mission to replace every single vehicle in SimCity 2013. If you notice any problems, please report them in the comments and I will look at the issues as soon as possible. Be looking for more mods like this very soon! Thanks for your support. Happy modding :)

Hello, ayusasha81

 

I am unaware of a compatibility problem with my mods in offline mode. I just tested a number of them to be sure, have you double checked they are installed correctly? All of my vehicle mods are showing up as expected. Let me know if you have any other issues.

(working on a fix for replacing Taxi Vans as well)

Why replace a taxi-van this car? Do better for that slot Dodge Charger Taxi or a completely new model. The same thing to say about the ambulance and fire truck with a ladder.

Effectively two cars will look the same purpose .. looks great with police cars that you did. In my cities often have a small police station at the entrance to the town (Dodge Charger Police Patrol) and a large police station (Ford Crown Victoria police patrol and Hummer Detective SUV)

Why should it be up to me what people want to replace in their cities? If I made a van taxi model, who's to say someone wouldn't want to replace both taxi types and have nothing but taxi vans?

 

I plan on making more models, all I need is time. These will have to do for now.

Apparently we do not understand each other. I assumed that your model will replace both versions taxi. That is like so: Taxi sedan - Ford Crown Victoria Taxi van - also Ford Crown Victoria And so I suggested: Taxi sedan - Ford Crown Victoria / Other Car Taxi van - Ford Crown Victoria / Other Vehicles That was a separate file replaces sedan, and the other file replaces the van.

Quality stuff..

 

A suggestion for a quick and easy addition: Add the new outer boroughs lime green cabs.. should be as easy as color swapping the NYC one with the new color.

Yes, I saw those and thought they would be a good addition. Will add them in the next update! :)
