- it might be unknowingly included in your uploaded lots (so, use the Clean Installer to remove unwanted hacks from your lots before uploading them);
- it will be copied in any stereo you clone with SimPE, if you have included the Downloads folder in the File Table (so, uncheck the Downloads if you want a "clean" clone).

- Base Game:
- Cheap stereo
- Moderate stereo

Game Requirements
The hack can be installed in any game, including FreeTime; of course, it will affect only the stereos that are normally available in your game (if you don't have Nightlife, don't expect to find a Karaoke machine in your catalog
