SimRide — A Rideshare Side Hustle For Your Sims | Preview

A rideshare side hustle for your Sims. Start driving from the phone whenever you like. No career, no schedule, no boss.

Base game compatible. No packs, no XML Injector, no other mods needed.

DRIVING

  • Start Driving from the SimRide app. Young adults and up.

  • Shifts last 4–10 hours, one ride every 45 sim-minutes.

  • Paid in one go when your Sim gets home, with a shift summary.

  • Cancel any time and you're paid for every finished ride.

  • Rush hour (7–9 AM, 5–7 PM) pays ×1.25.

RIDES

  • Smooth ride — +1

  • Generous passenger — +2

  • Backseat driver — −2

  • Spill in the back — −2, lose 45% of the fare

  • Flat tire — −2, lose 70% of the fare

  • Five stars — +3, +10% fare

Charisma: bigger tips, fewer backseat drivers. Handiness: fewer flat tires. Fitness: fewer spills. Max three bad rides a shift.

CHOICE EVENTS

Some shifts bring a choice. A pop-up asks what your Sim does:

  • Shared Ride — take two passengers for extra pay. If they argue the whole way, −3; if not, +1.

  • Something Left Behind — an umbrella on the back seat. Keep it for a moodlet (1 in 4 chance they report you, −2), or drive it back (+2).

  • VIP Passenger — a §40 tip and +3 if it goes perfectly, a public one-star (−5) if it doesn't.

FOUR SOCIAL INTERACTIONS

For Sims who have driven, each with a moodlet:

  • Vent About Passengers

  • Tell a Wild Ride Story

  • Brag About My Star Rating (Top Driver)

  • Convince Them to Try SimRide

THE LADDER

Rating starts at 15/100.

  • New Driver — §11–22 a ride

  • Rising Driver (30) — §16–29

  • Solid Driver (50) — §23–38

  • Top Driver (70) — §31–47

  • Elite Driver (90) — §40–61

Plus tips up to §15, doubled at Charisma 10.
