I did read that and it didn't help, hence my posting this question. And the reason I said something about the arred version That eighties guy- is because I've googled this problem before posting on this site and tried to fix it on my own but to no avail. I looked on multiple sites and they all said it
was because the game was pirated. I'm not a gaming expert (which why I am asking for help) and assumed that the people who said (on multiple sites) that it was because the game was arred knew what they were talking about, and yes I know what they say about assuming. Anyway here's a video I found on youtube of the problem. It would seem several people besides me have this problem. I cannot get rid of the cabs because that causes the whole game to crash.

Sims 3 Characters won't walk? (Only use Taxis even for a foot away)?
My characters in the Sims 3 won't walk anywhere, and they can't get into their house. I just started the game and these taxi's keep popping up. How can I stop this and let them just walk inside or around??
