It's build/buy mode, shift+click I believe to change the music.
ETA: You want to be careful where you put those speakers, I stuck some in the Chapel I made and it became the neighborhood gym. :roll: Every time I would send a Sim to visit there were 5 or 6 others working out on the dance floor.
I'll try clicking again but I sure didn't see a way to change the genre, you could change the volume, skip through the songs of the genre playing and something else, I think. I know I've got to be missing something obvious, like the doors on the garages
I haven't tried stealing clothes yet. I didn't even know it could be done until someon on MTS made the towel available for download. There is definitely a learning curve where this game is concerned.

Okay I'll pack up the one sim I am playing because he has skills and put him in my library and download the new test version of Moon Base and test that a tiny bit tonight and more tomorrow.
I also had tried changing the music in the bar to no avail. I have never seen any sims in the dark vampire lounge side of the club but my active sim routed there no problem so I'm not sure why it has been empty. I have a fully loaded town and see sims in all public places that I have been to so far. For a hot spot the bars can sure be dead. I know in Bridgeport the one bar that is always positively packed is the one that looks like a sports bar. I forget the name--maybe it is Waylons. Maybe the bar needs more toys for grownups in it to attract the sims.
I do keep getting wishes/wants rolling in that say my sim wants to visit 4 hotspots or drink at several bars and there's only one bar so I can't do that one. I think that's kind of crazy--we are already at a heavy saturation point on the kinds of "required" public buildings and computers aren't going to take any more. It's to the point all the worlds will have to be done on the largest map size to accomodate all the wishes and opportunity rolls.
I was thinking the same thing. Why do we have to have 5 bars or more? And right away too. Never one at a time with EA.
It's 1 skill level and then 4 skill level wish.
Level 1 promotion, level 5 promotion wish.
~seems like.
It's harder to make a Simple world when we do want all the bells and whistles yet we can only have a salon on a salon and consignment on it's own lot. Maybe a Room marker like Tomb markers is what EA needs for Community lots.
Just wanted to let you know in the older test version that I'm about to uninstall, I did see bugs in Lunar Park. Some kind of beetles. Or is it beatles? One's the bug and the other is Ringo, Paul, John and George. I think the latter is beatles. And to think I was once winner of my school spelling bee. I can't spell like I used to.
Oops just checked and it's not just beetles--loads of flying insects, too. I believe earlier in that same park were pigeons but I didn't see them there at night. There was a woman playing with the portable knubb set backwards when I went there in the morning and she was still there late at night after I left the club. At first I feared she was stuck but she left after my drunken sim spoke babbling insanity at her.
Okay latest version is downloaded and installed. To clarify, I remembered to delete world cache files pertaining to the previous version. No cc installed. Let the games begin!
Hm, the pigeons were supposed to be there and they do leave at night. I just hadn't seen the beetles the last time and the only thing I changed were the pigeons. ~sigh~
SS that fix keeps Sims from using the hoittub with the Mixologists, not the bouncers.
Oh and your hair and face mask may be a problem as i saw a thread at modthesims that said face masks, some skins, hairs based off of EA hairs, window, doors, and build mode stuff made off EA stuff is now conflicting because EA diddled with the programming again to make all their stuff work right in NL and with new animations including all the CAS stuff, so if you content uses EA's info, meshes what ever, it will now have conflicting or scrambled programming. Freeze like you descibed was described as that is the game trying to figure out how to use the same stuff it knew how to use before they changed the info, so it just goes into either minute pauses or hard freezes. As with all things EA, the games "brain" just gets obsessed with trying to solve the mystery of the instructions because technically it somewhat recognizes the CC that is based off of EA's stuff, it's just confused by the programming it no longer knows. From the sounds of things a lot of stuff that is not mods but usually safe CC, made off EA stuff is not longer safe. Unfortunately I did not stay in the thread long enough to really know exactly what is not good, but they had doors and windows (mostly from TSR) as bad, face masks, hairs that had been altered like hat removal or that from Sims 2 or EA for both genders or all ages and skin defaults. Sliders also were listed and the skin mod that allows us to have more skin types.... I can't think what else... Most of that was with the first patch, I have no idea as far as this new one.

In dreams - I LIVE!
In REALITY, I simply exist.....
I am in the latest version. I never tried it before, but upon trying to play bass in the Lunar Park I got a route fail. I guess the bass is too close to the wall.
WR thanks so much. So now we know it is the face mask and possibly a hair on a sim I was not playing but was in the town that was messing up RFlong's beautiful work. The two hairstyles I had and it was only two measly hairs were EA wedding hairs minus the actual wedding features. Sounds like they fit the description of the kind of cc that got broken.
Well thank goodnes it was not anything in RF's world she needs to hunt down and fix, then. But I am heartbroken as I spent so much time and effort per day to get my new Buffy sim just right and she needs Will Stefan's face mask blush. I was part of the Buffy Sunnydale crew on MTS. It was an ongoing project to recreate characters and sets from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer show and I had promised those people an update to my Buffy for ages once we got new facial sliders and I could refine her. This was a very long term work in process and I FINALLY got her JUST RIGHT...and now... It's sort of fitting in with the run of luck my family is having and today in particular. Tonight my daughter broke her very favorite Christmas ornament. She never even got to see it on the tree--we had bought it at the beach this summer. My husband came home dispirited about work. It was a stinky evening. Still, compared to 80 percent of the world, we live like charmed beings. Stuff happens, vent, move on and deal.
I wouldn't have minded about the face mask being borked now if I hadn't just succeeded in getting that sim finished using it. Will has not posted new work in ages and I doubt he can or would update that blush now. Oh well...grr grumble. I'll live. But I really did love my Buffy. I'll miss her.

Thanks.
I have seen Sims do the route fail there and I only got it from having a male sim try to use the urinal (I didn't try any more there).
I guess they don't like the urinals so near the wall.

There were some small pauses too. I just couldn't find them.
Lots of things come to mind but I will not say the silly things. Vent... it does help.
~ sorry. :hugz:
Oh no, the stutter pauses in the club are back. And there's a filet o fish, too. I don't think I saw that before. I immediately thought of DM. I need to put John Kerr in this world, lol. Right now I don't have any CAW Lane folks in it, by the way.
I never saw the hole last time--was it there before? I know there was a car behind a wall before--I saw that but could not figure out a way to get into that room--I never did much traps and tomb exploration so I am not familiar with all the props that go with that sort of thing.
My sim got all dirty trying to fill it in. Finally I had him stop trying to do that as he was getting really grungy and I wanted him to talk to some sims at the bar. He saw one other patron he shared a pizza with. There is now one less bouncer. More stuff to do...yay, love the video games. Still nobody on the elite lounge side.
I'm actually still in the game and in the bar. It's a really nice bar...now if only we could get more customers!
I wouldn't freak about the stutters yet...might be spawners filling it.
Oh no stutter is bad like last time I had trouble. Also there are no ladies rooms at the bar anymore. I didn't see any rest rooms upstairs anymore and the downstairs ones have the mens room doors on them. My current sim is a man so no biggie at the moment. Just reporting in as I find things.
Okay I have to quit for the night. The stutter followed my sim into the house. I might have a corrupted installation. Or it is something messed up at the bar since there were some changes made. I'm willing to try reinstalling the world again tomorrow. I think it could be something borked on my side of it so let me try a reinstall of the world. I can't be positive I remembered to clear all my other cache files like I was supposed and like DM said to. I thought I did but I could have forgotten.

They are? What fish and hole? :shock:
It's a window decoration. There isn't anything to do there and I don't think Sims can do anything to the car anyway- like a post with a window. I might need a door. *See what happens when I try to do interesting*
Oh, the hole! I removed the Station and I thought a Construction hole would be suitable. It doesn't go anywhere. I couldn't find the new saw horses so used the white ones.
It should be two both gender bathrooms. There wasn't a reason to have them upstairs since I removed the Station.
And it's stuttering? I played over a week. Longest I've played since LN was released.
I'm not disbelieving you, just wish I knew what was happening.
I can always redo from the map world like I did Broken Heart.
Gads, while reading through I thought I had just spent the last few hours testing the wrong version :shock: about sums up what I felt, lol. However, I downloaded the MBC2 rar and it looks like it is the same according to date modified. Whew!
I almost popped right out of the game because I got such a kick out of the subway stations in the domes and wanted to tell you what a great idea I thought that was! You are so darn creative, it just blows me away at times.
The first couple of sim days of play were filled with short little pauses but so far, I can't find anything to account for them. Kiwi_Tea mentioned in the thread on MTS for RBH that it takes a larger population to run a world smoothly now, something I had not given much thought to until he mentioned it. Consequently, it might be possible that we may see these stutters in new empty worlds as they start populating and spawners start activating. Everything leveled off after those first couple of sim days and ran smoothly until right before I quit to post an update for you. On days 10 and 11, the little pauses have started again but not until approx. 12:30 am.
I do have Twallan's MC and Overwatch mods in and on day 10, the pauses stopped after his 3:00 am car cleanup. It's eliminating about 25 cars nightly. On day 11, though, they ran until mid-morning, so now I have to consider there may be a pathing issue I just haven't seen yet. They are 6 to 8 seconds apart but don't last but a couple of seconds. Since they are so short in duration, I don't see how they could be caused by a sim being stuck somewhere. It's more like what I was seeing before you put the door on the garages, just not as severe, thank goodness.
I'll keep looking but am glad there are multiple sets of eyes testing
I almost forgot to tell you that while I was waiting for a doctor to get off work, I moved my camera ever so slightly to the right, if you are looking at the hopital from the front. I saw what at first looked like multi-colored somethings, which turned out to be the fish window thing. Confused me because I thought the club was further right than where my camera was. I was afraid to try and delete it because if it was in the actual club, I was afriad I would really make a mess. Why don't you take a look and see what you think.
Wait, if there are fish because something isn't transferring... I wonder if I'm using something I shouldn't.
Maybe I should uninstall my Stuff packs to make sure I don't use any. But there shouldn't be anything major, right?
I wasn't getting any pauses like that. Blah, I'll find it.
Don't forget to see if you see the fish in the black hole thing. When I got close enough to see what it was, I did immediately go to surface above it and the club was further away, well the exterior of the the station bldg. That's why I thought it might spread out a little underground but don't understand why all I saw was fish, no room, nothing else. Reminds me of what a tree that has fallen down below ground looks like.
EDIT - Oops, you snuck a post right by me. The fish I am seeing are the digital ones from the fish window, which you do have in the Station club.
No stutters for you at all? How far along are you? I went like 8 straight days after the initial stutters with none at all. Day 10 brought about the return and they are super short in length.

I saw the window fish from club while my Sim was in the Hospital building basement. Is that the fish?
I think I hit day nine or ten. I was waiting for the freezes the first few days and nothing. She spent time at the club also. No one else was there though. She ate, drank, danced and went home.
** The club has both male/female doors to the same bathrooms...

Okay, off to play in space for a while.
Thank you, DM. And for the Warning.
(or 15 minutes)
I also had tried changing the music in the bar to no avail. I have never seen any sims in the dark vampire lounge side of the club but my active sim routed there no problem so I'm not sure why it has been empty. I have a fully loaded town and see sims in all public places that I have been to so far. For a hot spot the bars can sure be dead. I know in Bridgeport the one bar that is always positively packed is the one that looks like a sports bar. I forget the name--maybe it is Waylons. Maybe the bar needs more toys for grownups in it to attract the sims.
I do keep getting wishes/wants rolling in that say my sim wants to visit 4 hotspots or drink at several bars and there's only one bar so I can't do that one. I think that's kind of crazy--we are already at a heavy saturation point on the kinds of "required" public buildings and computers aren't going to take any more.

I will redo each house and lot just to make sure. Sometimes just checking- looking- isn't enough since this is a not a redo but a add-to world.
So, I'll pause the testing until I get it back into CAW.
Maybe I should uninstall my Stuff packs to make sure I don't use any. But there shouldn't be anything major, right?
