Default Prevent Sims from autonomously shutting off stereo
I have a no autonomous stereo, but that also seems to prevent them from dancing and stuff. I just want the spoilsports in the dorm to stop randomly shutting it off when others (yes that includes myself) are listening.

If you don't find existed, I could make it in the near future.

I don't think there's a mod that targets only stereo shut-offs. A tuning mod that lowers the autonomy to turn stereos off might help, but otherwise you'd likely need a custom BHAV mod for that specific behavior.

They turned off the stereo (quick way to test is to drain their energy)

@Bulbizarre, @CSplayer89 would Pescado's Stereo Hack work?

Sims no longer turn the stereo on and off autonomously. The repairman may even actually repair the expensive one this time.
