Actors...Some help if possible

Post by JohnL83 » June 16th, 2019, 3:54 pm

Is there a way to bring the acting career to a town other than Bridgeport without putting in Plumbob Studio? I don't really have room for all that and I don't really want tons of actors in all my other towns.

IDK why I we can't have that option in the movie theater? I was hoping to be able to just add that job there...if musicians can preform there why not actors?? There is such a thing as stage actors you silly EA devs! ;) AND before anyone says it: I don't want to have to download that whole mod with wormhole rugs and everything if at all possible. I just want one or two actors in my other towns and I don't have room for that huge studio nor do I want an influx of stupid paparazzi!

Do you have Lunar Lakes? You could try downloading this Movie Studio http://www.simlogical.com/ContentUpload ... oads/1399/
And since it's so small you could use the moveobjects cheats (make sure to turn it off when done) to stick in a basement under another rabbithole lot.
And use Register to stop the paparazzi.

I think the reason that the actors' Backlot is so large is that there are objects on it that actors and visitors are meant to interact with besides just the rabbithole. The number of sims the career draws in will be the same no matter what kind of lot is used, but that's all controllable by way of SP -- restrict the career on Town Options and then open it up to those sims, households, and castes whom you wish to allow in. Whether paparazzi are engaged will also be the same regardless of lots used, but those can be limited or eliminated by way of NRaas Register.

You can design your own smaller backlot with rabbithole rugs but you do not wish to do that. These are just Build/Buy catalog objects, I have no idea what you mean by "the whole mod and everything". There must be custom backlots out there that are at least a little smaller (like sittingbear just suggested as I was typing this). But I would have to say that you are putting a few too many constraints on this request for it to be workable unless someone does know how to mod the career so that it shows up elsewhere.

Gotcha Igazor. :yes: I just get really tired of spending time learning how to use mod after mod, or having issues with them. I've read good and bad things about the rabbit hole mod or whatever it's called. I just said that because I don't know much about it other than reading people talk about using them (and having all sorts of trouble as well) and it seems like a lot of extra work and a kind of big thing to download when I really don't plan on using it for anything more than a one type of job. I'm happy with my towns and their rabbit holes other than wishing I could have actor careers in more than Bridgeport. (I did know about Register and the paparazzi, I know I will also have to squelch the celeb gossip stuff too because I hate that crap.)

But if the mod or download or whatever is the only way I guess I will give it a go! If Sittingbear's link doesn't work for me that is... Steam seems to limit a few options that others have. Like I can't get World Creator.

My thanks to you too Sittingbear. I will try that link first. Then if that's a bust a link to whatever is the best download to use for rabbit hole rugs would be nice. :)

Make sure to have Lunar Lakes installed or get the world if you don't have it already https://store.thesims3.com/lunarlakes.h ... ion=UpSell

But unfortunately there is no rabbithole rug for the Movie Studio because of the prop stage needs an extra slot that a rug just doesn't have.

Here's another one that uses a 20x30 lot http://simension.de/sims-3-downloads/si ... 20x30-lot/
And here's a tutorial that'll give you an idea on how to make your own I once had the Movie Studio in a basement under Hogan's Diner in Sunset Valley.
Although some of what they say to do is unnecessary if your going to have other rabbitholes on the lot http://simension.de/sims-3-english-tuto ... downloads/
MySimReality has some worlds that have rabbitholes in the basement you check and see how she/he does it http://www.mysimrealty.com/WORLDS_Meado ... dated.html

If I remember correctly the movie studio and the horse arena were both doors not rugs, something about the rugs being to small and not routable. Unless you are referring to Arsil’s mod for custom rabbithole doors/rugs the one’s made by Jynx are just objects that replace the rabbithole buildings, just plop them in and put them in a building no need to do any settings or all that. Arsils are a bit more complicated than just dropping them in.
