Anyone knows of a working cinema lot?
Has anyone built one? I've downloaded some but when the TVs are sized up they do not work so the cinema is pointless. I wonder if anyone has built one, cinema, that works.

I ran some quick tests. When I commanded test subject Eliananana Sillyname to watch teevee she moved to the second seat and happily watched her idiot box.

In this image I commanded her to move to the third seat. She did and continued watching. But she will not move to the next seat if commanded and will remain in the third seat. Maybe she is near sighted.

If I remove the chairs, she will only watch the idiot box within range of her nearsightedness.

In this shot, you see Eliananana happily enjoying her movie from a clearly different room separated by a half-wall. So much for my theory about the screen being in a different room. If you close up the wall she will do "shruggy footprint crosshatch" and can't watch it. I thought a problem I had in my build with viewing was caused by being in a different room but I couldn't duplicate my results.

In this image I'm able to duplicate my results. I created a split level by removing the floor in the seating level, while using the foundation tool to raise the floor of the other room. This created a crisis for Ms Sillyname and she "footsteps crosshatched" in confusion.
So it seems like there are two conditions that stop Sims from viewing. Range and different levels.
If you post a screenshot of your room where you have a problem we might be able to figure out why it's not working for you.
