HELP ME....I Created a Bar, but Sims come and leave, they don't stay?!!

[justacondom]

I have all the ESPs installed and they are all updated...

I created a bar (local watering hole) in Sunset Valley...

I got everything a bar needs, toilets, entertainment, hot tub, bar counters, and 3

mixologists working. But sims just come, get in the door...walk a little and then leave...

why?? Is it the lighting? Is it because it's a hot spot? or the type of bar i chose is wrong....

Any help...plz!!~ :cry: :cry:

Who are these people who are just walking in and not staying? are they local residents or paparazzi/other NCP's. Maybe you are encountering a mod conflict?

they're just normal townies....i once had a party there....still they came and left in seconds....and I've only installed Nraas mods and alwaysmoregigs mod

It's just the way the game is: it summons sims without regard for whether they might have commitments to be elsewhere or even reason to be there, and once the summoning wears off, they promptly realize they do need to be elsewhere.

Well...somehow I got it solved....I changed the lot to Lounge....then it works fine...curious though, why does it not work being a local watering hole.

The 'watering hole' description was made before actual Bars were created in game. It doesn't have the same attractiveness to sims, apparently. I've always found it to be the most useless of lot assignments, since sims don't like to use those lots very much. I think it also depends on what else is going on in your 'hood, and how many spare sims you have to go hang out.

I'm glad you figured out that if you want it to act like a bar, you should give it a real bar assignment, like Lounge or Sports or something.
