WickedWhims v153.1 [2020-03-28] (Patreon)

Hey you, I hope you're protecting yourself and staying home as much as you can in these crazy and difficult times for our entire world. I bet it's not easy, but it's for the better of us all, and I wish you the best 💜
As for this post, it's not a proper update, but instead a major change for the implementation of Strip Clubs. The recent introduction of the custom Strip Club venue type came with an issue of it becoming stuck after selling the business. Once the stuck venue was in place, there was no way to get rid of it. Here's how we get to fix it.

How to fix the stuck Strip Club venue?
Any user who sold their Strip Club and is now unable to change its venue type, here's how you fix it. If you're not planning on selling your Strip Club and repurposing the lot for another build, then you might not need to do this yet.
You're welcome to sell your Strip Club, fix the lot, and re-buy it again with the WickedWhims v153 update installed, as the new implementation will not cause this to happen anymore. Keeping the Strip Club venue is still permitted and you can always come back to this later.
1. Make sure to first read all of the points in this instruction.
2. Download the 'Changeable Strip Club Venue' mod by clicking on the link.
3. Install the 'Changeable Strip Club Venue' mod by placing the "!!! [REMOVE AFTER USAGE] WW_ChangeableStripClubVenue" folder in the Mods folder.
4. Turn the game on and edit the lot that has the stuck Strip Club venue (The business has to be already sold for the venue to be changeable. You can't change the venue of an active business).
5. Change the venue of the lot to anything else besides the Strip Club venue.
6. Save and turn the game off.
7. Delete the 'Changeable Strip Club Venue' mod. Keeping it will cause errors in the future.
Can't change the venue after installing the 'Changeable Strip Club Venue' mod?
The most plausible cause of this is a conflict with mods that modify the world/region files and add new venues. The mod has to be loaded first for this reason, as such it supposed to be placed in the "!!! [REMOVE AFTER USAGE] WW_ChangeableStripClubVenue" folder, directly in the Mods folder.
Mods like Basemental Gangs, More Buyable Venues, Venue Changes, Go to School, AEP, RedAppleNet, and probably way more, will cause a conflict if the 'Changeable Strip Club Venue' mod is installed incorrectly.
v153.1
- Fixed Sims save data getting wiped when saving the game from World View Build/Buy
- Fixed issues with joining to sex in Polyamorous relationships
- Fixed Servos visiting Strip Clubs (and subsequently dying)
v153
- Made Strip Club businesses use the Generic venue type for improved compatibility
The recent introduction of the custom Strip Club venue type turned out to be a failure. Using a custom venue type without the ability to select it from the Build/Buy menu means that it will become stuck even after the business is sold. This change has now been reverted and the Strip Club business uses the Generic venue type from now on.
Existing Strip Clubs that use the custom Strip Club venue type will stay fully functional, but stuck unless fixed.
