Default Watching TV but without "Watching "!
Long time no seeing!

I made for you a TV that your sims can LISTEN:
They don't have to watch it and be stuck in-front of it
Just turn the TV on and if your sim in the same room with the TV - will gain fun!
It means they can:
* Eat & Watch/Listen to TV
* Work & Watch/Listen to TV
* Prepare food & Watch/Listen to TV
* And more!

See photo:



I hacked all my Tv's + Maxis Original Tv's
All files are here:


Download here all Tvs

Wow! That's such a cool mod! Being able to watch TV while eating breakfast will really help my sims get ready for work! Thank you!!

Edited to add: I just tried this out, using the hacked Maxis TV, and I see that those TVs now add to the Fun score until Fun is full. The Maxis moderate TV usually fills the Fun score to a level determined by the sim's Playful personality score; my sims usually stop gaining Fun at around 85% full. So these TVs cheat their fun to a higher level. You might want to mention this in your description, so players know about it. Or you might want to add the "what Is Max Fun" function (already in the file) to your fun-gaining code.

I've made some mods for The Sims 1 -- yes, The Sims ONE :-) -- which you can find at http://corylea.com/Sims1ModsByCorylea.html

Hii! I hacked my game so sims will never stop using objects after gaining maximum fun... So I didn't thought this is important to mention...

@Gothi_family_4ever How did you make it so that sims don't stop using objects after gaining maximum fun? Is there a download link somewhere you could please provide? These TVs are a great idea! Does listening gain the same amount of fun as watching? Personally I think it would be more balanced if the fun gain was slower while only listening than when watching, so there's still a reason to watch. Would you be interested in making this flavor or could perhaps provide some tuning instructions?

I'd also appreciate instructions on how to apply this to custom TVs.

I know for a fact the sims 2 on ps2 had this feature where if you was in the same room as a tv but not watching it, the fun meter will go up
