[OPEN] [GT] DJ booths at dance parties are unusable

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.48.90.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Get invited to or plan a dance party social event in Windenburg.
What happens when the bug occurs? The DJ booth is unusable - either the "Use" option greyed out and the tooltip saying "Electronics don't work in the rain" even if it isn't currently raining; or the Use option is selectable but drops from the queue immediately and does nothing. The NPC DJ for the event is also unable to interact with it and just stands at the spawn point.
What do you expect to see? The DJ booth should work if it isn't currently raining or broken.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

I had this happen a few times before the December 2018 patch and it is still an issue in my game.

I can't recall if my sims were invited out to the Ancient Ruins dance party once while it was raining, and then the DJ booth broke and is still broken;

Or if the game incorrectly assumes it shouldn't work - the weather is just cloudy and the season is Fall, but there isn't any precipitation today and the booth is still unusable. It hasn't rained at all during the event.

EDIT: Now I also have a similar issue at the Chalet dance party location - the booth is not visibly broken, the "use" option is available and not greyed out, but does nothing. The NPC DJ is also unable to use it, so they just stand idle at the spawn point. The weather is sunny, but freezing temperatures (no snow).

  • Same issue for ne after I started a club gathering at ancient ruins in the rain, now my DJ booth is broken and when I click to repair I get the option but hours go buy without it reaching 'fixed'. I've been back several times in all weathers, nothing helps

  • Yes, it's still happening for me, also. Will we ever get a fix for this? In one location I was able to set up an alternate covered speaker but it's not an option everywhere. Thank you.

    It seems the bug is still there. Today I organized a dance party in Ancient Ruins and the default DJ booth did not work either (there was a choice “use” but my Sim could not do anything, neither the DJ could perform and the machine does not seem to be broken). I bought another DJ booth and there was no such issue, unfortunately it was only possible for it to be placed on a very distant point so nobody preferred dancing instead of hanging around the bar... *smh*

  • Still have this problem in my game. DJ booth is not usable - even when it's not raining. A workaround for this would be for the sim organizing the party to have a portable DJ booth in their inventory that can be placed on the ground. The DJ will then use it. Won't help much if you get invited though, unless you keep the booth in all of your sims inventories...

    Edit: I want to add that it's saddening to see this not fixed. GT parties were such a big thing in my game when the pack game out.

    Does anybody know a mod that fixes this issue? Seems it won’t get a fix.

    Thanks so much @Sid1701d9 Your method worked to fix the DJ Booth at the Ruins! I can't believe this is still happening in 2022.

    It's November 2023, and the bug is still there,

    Why don't developers just add a tent or cover???

    I'm going to try T.O.O.L. by TwistedMexi and see if I can add a cover that way

    When the mod is needed to fix the original game 🤔
