This is an easy-mode-game play update of the mod, with a few requirements been disabled, for a smoother gameplay. The requirements in the previous version, such as the necessity to buy or have DVDs in the active Sim inventory in order to play DVDs, or the requirement to have a DVD player either installed or connected to the TV or have the Video-On-Demand service installed in the Lot, has been disabled.
Once the mod and any DVDs has been installed in the game, the "It's Movie Time" menu will show up on the TV/Console/Computer, and you can either have your Sim watch the DVDs through the "Play a DVD..." sub-menu or play the DVD manually through the "Turn On..." (TV/Console only) sub-menu. The "Turn On" feature will lock down the TV on the chosen DVD, so no other sim will be able to take over the TV until you turn it off. This feature will come in handy for those who own a Cinema venue.
Want to give your Sims some more stuff to do? Let them watch something new on a computer or the big screen. With each DVD, there is also a poster, which you can find in Build-Buy mode. For a better experience, click on the Sim watching the movie and press Shift+Tab to enter first-person mode. This will allow you to watch the movies through your sim's eyes.
Once you download the "It's Movie Time" mod, don't forget to download any DVDs as well, found here (free SD-Quality)
FEATURES
Turn On TV: Using this feature (from ItsMovieTime menu) will turn on and lock the TV on the desired DVD. Other sims will not be able to change channels or turn the TV off autonomously.
Movie Premiere Holidays: This feature will scan all the already installed DVDs and check if any of them contains the "Premiere" tag. For each DVD found, it will create a custom Movie Premiere holiday in your Sim's calendar. During the holiday, the sim will be able to watch the premiere movie, and earn aspiration points.
Movie Night event: You can create Movie Night events in your calendar and invite other sims to watch movies. The main goal is to have Sims watch a DVD, but there are also minor goals, in order to reach the Golden Reward. During the event, the sims will be able to talk about the event, like bragging, complaining, etc. Being social during the event also helps with reaching the Golden Reward. After the event ends (successfully), the sim gets a reward in their build-buy inventory.
Invite to Watch a Movie: Your sim will be able to invite other Sims to watch a movie with, but he/she will also get random invitations from other sims to go watch a movie at their place. After the event ends (successfully), the sim gets a reward in their build-buy inventory. You can use this feature either by using the Sim's phone or by clicking on any of the sims in your Sim Relationship Panel
Movie Gender Preferences (requires Zerbu's Custom Preferences): Sims will discover whether they like a particular movie genre or not, after watching a movie. If they like or dislike that movie genre, they will also be able to discuss it with other sims who like or dislike the same genre. They will get a bad moodlet and their fun level will drop if they watch a movie genre they don't like. Each preference is configurable in Create-A-Sim mode too. IMPORTANT: Please note that this feature will cause the forever loading CAS issue if the requirement is not installed.
Settings Menu: Players will now be able to disable specific features from the mod, or configure them to their needs.
How it works Once the mod and any DVDs has been installed in the game, the "It's Movie Time" menu will show up on the TV/Console/Computer, and you can either have your Sim watch the DVDs through the "Play a DVD..." sub-menu or play the DVD manually through the "Turn On..." (TV/Console only) sub-menu. The "Turn On" feature will lock down the TV on the chosen DVD, so no other sim will be able to take over the TV until you turn it off. This feature will come in handy for those who own a Cinema venue.
