Thanks to everyone who's checked the mod out so far

Unfortunately this mod doesn't unlock the feature to earn money while tending the bar at home. I did leave a NRaas forum post on how you can possibly unlock it your self but that will require a separate XML tuning mod:

Oh, and to deesim and anyone else interested in tending a bar as a home business, it looks like that doesn't require a script mod to do. (Haven't tested it myself but I suspect what I'm about to suggest SHOULD work)

If you made an XML tuning mod to edit the Bars XML (or already have a tuning mod that edits this XML, e.g. one that changes the opening/closing times or/and the types of food and drinks served in the Late Night bars and other venues), open up the XML using S3PE and then Notepad and CTRL+F to look for the lines

<Venue>Residential</Venue>
<PriceMultiplier>0</PriceMultiplier>

As far as I can tell from the code EA doesn't specifically block moonlighting sims from being paid when they tend the bar on residential lots, but the price multiplier above means they earn 0 times the original cost of every drink they make, so just change the value to 1 (or any non zero number you like) and that SHOULD allow your sims to earn cash from serving other sims drinks at home. (btw, if you wanted to do this via Retuner, you can't sadly since it's table based tuning)

WOW! This is really helpful. Finally I don't have to replace every juice bar in the town.

And here are the translations for both CHS and CHT:
Enable Professional Bar interactions - 啟用專業酒吧互動
Disable Professional Bar interactions - 禁用專業酒吧互動

Thanks for your great work, icarus.

Oh my gosh, am I excited about this mod! Where have you been my whole life? Okay, only since Late Night...lol. I'm always wasting time replacing the regular juice bar, with the professional. Yahoo! I can't wait to play my game again now. I don't have to replace all the bars anymore. Can you tell I'm excited? Good job on this mod...and thank you so very much for sharing this with the community.

i must confess my undying love for your mods, icarus! this takes the pressure off of me a whole lot, in terms of gameplay. it always bothered me how the beach (in SV) and the lots that came with showtime didn't have the professional bars. although, i did notice.. (in that karaoke place that came with showtime?) that the 'proprietor' was making drinks and he kind of intercepted the mixologist. other than that, no issues here. thank you again

You're currently one of the best (if not THE best) modder available on MTS. Thank you A LOT for this work, it has always been a huge frustration to me before you made this mode possible. Ice bar venue from Seasons, here I come!

Oh, sorry, I didn't see that. Yep, I can do that, that sounds easy enough. That's so good that it doesn't need a script mod to be done! Thank you, again Icarus.

Awesome!!!! Finally I don't have to go and change bars in homes and don't have to rework homes to fit in bigger bars. This will make gameplay so much better!!

Thank you thank you thank you!

Not only is it amazing that we can now use the regular juice bars on community lots as actual bars, but we can practice making more advanced drinks on residential lots, too.

I can't tell you how long I've been looking for a mod like this!

I just wanted to chime in with the thanks. This is one invaluable mod that should have been introduced a long time ago. Thanks to people like you we can truly enjoy our games without hassle.

Cheers!
