I think the only way to make an un-rabbitholed restaurant is to use the WA food register, or a NL bar (which serves food as well as drinks). The bar is better because the meals are less random, but I think the types are restricted on it.

It is a bit of a gyp that the base game restaurants are rabbit holes.

Take a look at the "Shop from inventory mod", you can make food and sell it through the new interaction, or when you have other Sims visiting the lot, they can buy food either single serving, or group meals, or just have lunch with friends.

I signed up here just to say this is awesome! Jumped up and down and swore up a storm when I got my theatre working. Did you upload your building and that large screen somewhere? And what type of community lot is recommended for these? I used Small Park, cause a Hangout wouldn't let me have a party, but it gives the park bonuses as a park.. bleh.

I do think you should get the moodlet after an hour at least, otherwise a "great movie" can technically be only a few minutes long and you can take the sims back home whenever, which is kind of funny, but really odd, cause it's like !!super-intensive-memory-implant-movie-experience!! LOL

Overall, this is one of the best mods I've seen so far and I can't see my sims being without it anymore. I encourage you to open up more rabbit holes just like this! Thank you!!

sorry im new to this sims stuff. can someone please explain to me how i would get my movie cinema up and running. what is a rabbit hole rug or door. im not understanding. thank you

reds28heem: The RH rug/door is just a rug/door that has the functionality of a rabbit hole, but takes less space and thus gives you the possibility to have the outside of the lot any way you like.

This is my hood's current police station, city hall and theatre, all using the rabbit hole doors for rabbit hole functionality, but also build so they can have functionality outside of the rabbit hole. The city hall actually has several RH doors in them, so I don't have to build a building for all of them.

The only thing you need for this mod to work is a community lot, a theatre rabbit hole and a TV. That's it.

Spectre Incarnate: Thanks for the comment, I use the "visitors allowed" lot type, but that doesn't let you hold parties on the lot. But maybe you could try some of the bar lot types? lounge or something. You can still hold parties, but don't get the park moodlet.

Thank you so much for this!

Very nice! Will you make that for more Rabbit Holes?

this mod does not work in my dutch sims 3 game

Hi everyone, can translate the info of this mod to german please.

i don't understand what the mod make.

Edit:

Hi Ani,

what's make i wrong the mod is dosent working in my game?

How does it not work? how have you set it up?

The mod is loaded, just kind of view it does not work with the film.

With the doors as I got this Rabbit Hole and built as a door into the building.

But when the input goes through a Sim that is invisible and is gone.

Could you maybe make an example of how the house is built properly then?

1. Add a cinema RH door or rug
2. Add a TV onto the same lot
3. Make your Sim watch the TV

That's all there is to it.

Where do I sit the door then?

Same as the front door or in the building?

Anywhere, as long as you have it in the same lot as the TV.

A seperate note:
You should not use the door as the front door of the building. Sims can only use it as a rabit hole, it can't be used as a front door. Just add it anyhwere on the lot, and make sure your Sims have access to the TV.

ani_,
I love all your mods and I love that you are opened up the rabbit holes with this mod and the shop from inventory mod. Thank you so much for creating this.

I just downloaded your mod but for some reason it isn't working for me. I set up my theater an put it as a "community lot/visitors allowed" and I also downloaded an put in a rabbit-hole theater rug in my building with a tv but when I put my sim to watch the tv no moodlet or "watched a great movie" comes up an no money gets deducted so idk what it is. I set everything up like you specified. Can anyone please explain? I have the sims 3 basegame, also ambitions an outdoor living stuff.

Does this work for 1.33?

This is my favorite mod! Thank you! :lovestruc

update to 1.47 please!

Awesome!! Thanks!

Excellent mod. So good, EA took the hint and used the idea for yet another one of their money making schemes (store content) Le Cinema Plumbob, which is actually pretty awesome and works, surprisingly, just like this mod with a few extra moodlets and objects. Too bad it's not free...
