So I bought the barrier to entry ticket system, anyone use this?

The release notes and documentation on the door locking/charging mechanisms for the current version of GoHere apparently never made it to our current site. They can be viewed by way of The Wayback Machine for now. These can be used on any doors, gates, and archways and yes, any amount can be charged for any door independently of the others.

Although a bit fussy as one gets used to it, there are a lot of creative ways to use this feature such as charging on one door (in one direction) for certain classes of sims while allowing others to use a second door only that leads into the same space and for free or for a different amount.

In some particular instances, I still find the Barrier to Entry ticket system to be more pleasant to use. But there's nothing wrong with having both in play, just not on the same lot at the same time.

well fudge, remind me to check NRAAS mods documentations before i go buying anymore store stuff :P

but owell i like the aesthetics of the ticket machine anyway

You can assign multiple tickets by the way.

So say for gym you need both green and red, but for pool you need both red and blue etc. for private venue perhaps you need all 4 tickets, costing $40 entry total. etc :)

Yeah, I know about that. But except for making some places more expensive, if they go to multiple places, they might still be able to get in some of them without paying at all.

@igazor I plan on using both. I'll use Go Here for indoor venues, and the barrier to entry for outdoor ones, like subways, the boardwalk, the festival, and the orchard I made for my latest CAW project.

Yeah I get you.

What I'm going to do is use the barrier where it makes sense, like cinema, pool, etc

Then use nraas gohere version for things like clubs that have bouncers, because it makes sense you'd 'pay at the door' rather than use a ticket :)

Does the Sims that owns the venue get the money?

.

One thing I forgot to mention about the GoHere method is that in order to work, the area to be restricted or set with a fee to enter must be seen by the mod as an enclosed room. In the case of outdoor usage, that means fences/gates need to be all around the area to be restricted with no breaks except at walls, which can be a pain if the terrain is uneven in places or there are small bodies of water in the way. Usually this requirement can be worked around with some practice, but we can't have a restricted entrance that a sim can just walk around to bypass either.

The household that owns the lot gets paid unless the lot is unowned. If the sims gaining entry this way can't afford the price of admission, the amount gets added to their weekly bills assuming SP Money and Unified Billing. Not as sure about the Barrier to Entry ticket system now, I thought the sim owning the lot also gets paid but maybe that's not so.

Oh, well, now I'm just going to have to make a 'woohoo professional' sim. line up outside the door boys

i put one outside our bedroom as a test, so now my simhusband had to pay $10 to enter and woohoo his sim-wife. i always make other household members NPCs, and just like inactives, he walked past ticket and through the door but $10 was deducted from household funds so. all good

Only $10?? I'm going to have to talk to my wife.... She might be over-charging me. :D

I've used the ticket machine on a movie theater lot and a skating rink lot. Seemed to work just fine but I didn't pay attention to the NPCs.

One thing I like about the barrier system is I've been able to cut down on professional bars for certain places.

For example at resorts or exclusive hotels/vip establishments I've been able to just plop down a normal help-yourself-bar, buffet table and barrier door so you pay to get in drinks included with ticket price. (i ask for all 4 tickets for these establishments). but $40 is a little low for all those free drinks so i'll slowly convert htem to NRAAS Gohere's thingy instead now :) $100 entry seems about right for these.

Oh, duh me! YOU CAN CHANGE THE PRICE OF TICKETS!!

Retuner -> Sims3.Objects.Store -> TicketMachine -> TicketPriceRed(/Blue/Green/Yellow) -> 10 (default)
Change 10 to whatever.

You can also change the time it takes for hte ticket to self-destruct (expire)
Ticket+TurnstileTicket
TimeToSelfDestruct = set to whatever :)

Ive got mine now setup as
Pool: Green ticket (25)
Rec center (bowling/skating/arcade): Yellow ticket (50)
Library: Green ticket (25)
Gym: Blue ticket (75)
Private venue/club: Red ticket (100)
