Game version 1.105.345 compatible

Packs such as Seasons are no longer required, but rather recommended. Some features of the mod are pack-dependent, which means if the required pack for that feature is not installed, the feature itself will be disabled.

The console is functional if City Living EP03 is installed. If not, it's mostly for decoration.

PATRON-ONLY FEATURES

  • Cinema Business (requires Dine Out game pack and the Basemental Venue List or Zerbu's Venue Changes): Be the owner of your own Cinema. The cinema can be managed from the phone. Please note that this is a Work-In-Progress business, so more tools to manage the business and more staff will be added in the upcoming versions.

  • Sims Film Festival: This is a 12h event held in Magnolia Blossom on Mondays. During the  event Sims will be able to watch premiere movies before their general  release, grab some swag, make friends, meet some celebrities, grab a  snack at the food stands, pick up some handy items and fan t-shirts at  the merch stall! Have fun and enjoy the show!

  • Movie Lovers Club: This Club Is For Movie Lovers. Everything About Movies. Get together to watch movies and discuss the hot movies your Sim just saw.

FEATURES

  • Turn On TV: Using this interaction will turn on and lock the TV  on the desired movie. Other sims will not be able to change channels or turn the TV off autonomously.

  • Movie Premiere Holidays (Requires EP05): This feature will scan all the already installed Movies and check if any  of them contains the "Premiere" tag. For each Movie 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 Movie, 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: 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.

  • Settings Menu: Players will be able to disable specific features from the mod, or configure them to their needs.

Installation

Download the file below and extract its content  into your Sims 4 mods directory (typically C:\Documents\Electronic  Arts\The Sims 4\Mods).

Updating

Same as installing, but when asked to overwrite existing files, press Yes.

PS: Zipped files come with a structured folder and sub-folders, to make installation easier and to avoid creating duplicates. If you copy TanksMods from the zip file and paste it in your Sims 4 Mods directory, it will automatically create the main directory (TanksMods) and its sub-folders (DVDs) for you or overwrite your existing ItsMovieTime mod or movies for you (when updating)

Remember to delete localthumbcache.package and avatarcache.package in your Sims 4 directory when updating mods.

hey! do the sims watch the FULL movie? it always starts in the beginning but my sim never watches too much of it before shutting it off because of their needs.... also, do they have to watch the full movie before finding out if they like that movie genre? Thank you! <3

_tank_

Hey Stephanie! There are some criteria for the Sim to watch the full movie, and most of the time, they dont watch a full movie (stressed, motives near failure, feeling miserable or bored, etc). You can use the Turn On function, to play a movie and then have the Sim watch it. This way, if the Sim does stop watching it, the TV will stay on. Also, there is a 10% chance that they will like or dislike a movie genre after watching it. I tried to stick to the original game-play.

Stephanie

a 10% chance of getting a like or dislike if they watch the entire movie? or can it happen even after watching for only a few minutes? Also, how long are the movies? are they actually the full movies!?

_tank_

It can happen after the sims stop watching, so it might happen at any time. The movies are on average 10 mins long, as they are movie clips.

Stephanie

Hi! Just wanted to give you the update that "thriller" is misspelled! It's missing the h! <3

_tank_

Oh, ok lol, thanks for letting me know. Ill fix that in the next update.

amilyah

Hey don’t this mod suppose to tell you how many movies you download in the notification pane because I don’t see no pop notification telling me I how many movies I have in like the public free version?

amilyah

It works but jt don’t pop up notifications telling how many movies I installed.

_tank_

Hi Amilyah, sorry the delay, could you please switch to Discord server for the support? The Patreon notifications when someone leaves a comment dont always show up immediately. Also, did you delete localthumbcache after updating to Patreon version?

amilyah

Sorry I didn’t know today my first dsy being Patreon I will try that.

_tank_

Also, in order to make the popup less annoying, it will show only once when installed, and everytime you install a new movie.

Sandra Asare

Hi, i noticed that whenever my Sims switches to towel they wear your Film Festival outfit.

_tank_

Huh, thats weird. Im gonna check it in a bit. Thanks for letting me know.

_tank_

Ok, i believe i have fixed this, one of the female tshirts wasnt properly tagged. Make sure to delete localthumbcache from Sims 4 directory after updating. Although i have tested it multiple times, let me know if its fixed on your side too.

Magic Getio

can you prevent the sim from turning off the premiere? i keep trying to watch it but he keeps turning it off

Farfalla_in_Borsa

Hi! Thank you for you job! But cinema function in this version of the mod doesn’t work. Once my sim try to buy a cinema or go to the cinema and I choose the lot (which I've done with all the options there) the game stops and the Better Exceptions reports that there is this kind of error: Possible Cause (Confidence: 30%): Projects\TanksMods/src\tanksmods\zone_directors/cinema.py Exception raised while processing zone spin up sequence: TANK:ItsMovieTime_ObjectStates_Movie_Channel_States (KeyError: TANK:ItsMovieTime_ObjectStates_Movie_Channel_States)

_tank_

Hi! Can you confirm that you have at least one movie installed? Because during once the lot loads up, the mod tries to locate any installed movie and play it on the lot TVs. Im guessing that might be the case. Also, if possible, please upload the Exception file on discord, so i can have a deeper look at it.

Farfalla_in_Borsa

Hello! Can you explain please how does The Sims Film Festival work? Whether I have to do something to activate it or no? Because now i can’t see any information in my calendar, there are only Movie Premier holidays. I've put all the objects to watch movies in Magnolia Blossom (screen and chairs) and I also tried to find some objects of the festival, but I've found only the statue and there is no shop. So, how does it work? Or is it possible that i can't see it because of some mod conflict?

_tank_

Hi. The festival is fully automatic, so no need to do anything on your side to activate it. All the required objects will spawn automatically once you go to the festival. Try to keep an eye during Mondays at 3 AM, because thats usually the time when it gets marked on your calendar. There is also a notification that pops up when the festival is up.

Boudicca of the Southern Wastelands

I just wanted to pop in and say I'm loving the Movie Festival! It's a blast watching those silly sims root and cheer during the movies and chat with each other. Thank you for such a fun mod, Tank!

amilyah

hey every time try to clickk for ticket on the cashier it exit out in tpose.

_tank_

You mean you cant buy a ticket from the cashier? Is there an error or lastexception or something? Im gonna check tomorrow on my side

_tank_

Hi. I just tested it on my side, but everything is working ok. Do you have MCCC or BetterException installed? See if there is a lastexception report or something, ill have a look at it and see whats the issue.

_tank_

If you can, upload it on Discord in the support channel, ill have a look at it

amilyah

How do I upload it I never did it before 🥴🥴🥴

_tank_

Are you on discord? If yes, this is the server https://discord.gg/cerQs6jcHz. if not, install Discord and click this link, it will take you to the server. Once in, ill tell you what to do.

_tank_

Ok, go to Support Channel, and click on the + Button, just next to where you start typing. Thats the upload button, select the LastException and press enter, that should do it.

OGSimmaSimma

How do you own the cinema as a business? I do not see any instructions

_tank_

There is a new Cinema menu in your sims phone, you start from there. You will also need either zerbu's venue changes mod or the customized basemental venue list attached to the mod page. It works as any another business, except its managed through the phone (unless you have EP01 as well, it would then be possible to manage it from business panel too, once you have bought the business).

OGSimmaSimma

Thank you I was able to see it. I’ve noticed that I’m not able to use the mod. Every time I try to go watch a movie nothing shows up. Did I install it wrong? It started working on its own at the theater but not at the houses.

Farfalla_in_Borsa

Hi! Just want to ask. Can you please make possible to put cinema tickets on cork boards (like postcards) and to give them a name like we can do it with pictures? It would be so nice to memorize the day of movie premiere or the first date of my sim, for example. . Is it possible in one of the next renewals of the mod? Thank you 🙏

Love the mod. Is it possible to have a random function? I'd like to tell my sim to just watch a random movie without having to scroll through all the titles and trying to pick one at random.

_tank_

Yeah, that would be possible. Its actually already implemented, but its more like an autonomy thing, not as an interaction. I'll see to it. Thanks for the feedback

BreakBeats91x

Hi Tank! First off, thanks for the brilliant mod - been using it for a while now. Quick query? Now with the new patch, it shows up in game but the movies won’t load, even though the mod message pops up and acknowledges how many I have. Is there somewhere I can send you the LE report?

_tank_

Hi there and thanks for the feedback :). You need to redownload the movies too, they have been updated for the latest game patch. I have a early flight in the morning, so cant help right now, but you can updatd the LE on the discord server and i will give it a look as soon as i can.

BreakBeats91x

Thanks for the quick reply! I’ll put it on the discord as I’ve re-downloaded all the movies too so not sure what’s happening. Have a safe flight!

Stephanie

is there a way to make the festivals happen at different times? they always happen while my sims are at school so I thought like maybe a different time or day when they don't have school!

Simminwithniik

Do you know if the movies for this mod conflict with other tv overrides?

Ronni

Love your work! Keep it up! Any chance we can get more horror movies? I'ma huge horror movie fan and so is my sim lol.

_tank_

Thanks for the feedback :) I have a big list of movies lol, but ill do my best!

Kimie M

Tank, you really are amazing, i appreciate your work with these mods! Thank you :-)
