I don't like how the mixologists from The Sims 3 manage their bar, just they work as a bartender, it's too limited.
I would like the advanced management features of Open For Business for the nightlife business : bar , club and lounge.
My sims dream to manage the dance clubs of the city and to turn them into the hottest spots in town.
Their bouncers should work like the TS3 Store Barrier To Entry System and they become more useful than TS3 Late Night.
The features :
- Hire bartenders
- Hire a DJ (dance club)
- Hire bouncers (dance club)
- Manage the drinks and the foods
- Manage the price of the entrance and of the drinks : For example, FREE entrance for the female sims
- Get more visitors by being friend with "Bro" sims, if the "bro" sims like your club and they'll bring their friends
- Host the parties of NPC townies
FREE entrance for female = More female sims = then more male sims
But if the entrance is too expensive, the male sims won't come.
Because the bouncers can control the type of visitor, you can also do a club for female only, the rule above won't be applied.
So it requires to find the right balance between the entrance price and the drink price, it will also depend on your business reputation.
