Venue Lot Traits for Custom Venues

A set of Lot Traits that enable venue-specific behavior for any lot you want.

I have an entire set of posts explaining what Venues do.

Now that we have custom venues, we can remake venues with more detail or special behaviors...but we've lost some of those special features the EA venues come with. For example, Socially Awkward Sims consider a Bar to be intimidating. But they won't consider any Custom Venue to be intimidating.

Well, now they will- because I've made a suite of Lot Traits that add "Venue Behavior" to your custom venues.

(Example: This Sim is having a bad social experience at...a retail venue?)

You can use these traits to enhance your Custom Venues to have EA default behavior they otherwise don't get! And because they are Lot Traits, you don't actually have to use them on the "right" venue. You can put this Socially Awkward trait on any venue you want, go nuts.

Note that these ONLY do what is described. There are still venue features that you need to use EA Venues for- these just supplement your custom venues. For example, Museums have many art viewing/assessing/etc interactions that afford special buffs...you won't get those by using these traits. You'll still need to make a proper Museum for that.

Available Lot Traits:

• Lovestruck Bar, Gym, Library, Museum, and Park

  • Allows use of special Lovestruck venue interactions, such as complimenting workout form, kissing by bookshelves, making out in the great outdoors, etc.

• Archaeologically Interesting

  • Causes a positive moodlet for Museum Patron Sims. (Requires Jungle Adventure)

• Mundane

  • Causes a negative moodlet for Adrenaline Seeker Sims. (Requires Snowy Escape)

• Socially Intimidating

  • Causes a negative moodlet for Socially Awkward Sims. (Requires High School Years)

• Dance Time

  • Causes a positive moodlet for Dance Machine Sims. (Requires Get Together)

• Climate Controlled

  • Sims are immune to Temperature here. (Requires Seasons)

I will probably add more of these at another time. Obviously this doesn't cover everything- Venues are pretty complex. But a lot of the other special things Venues do are already covered by the Custom Venue system, especially determining what kinds of Sims show up and which activities are prevalent.
