Re: Movie Theater Woes
@taoron24121 Don't think this is a bug tbh, don't think it was intended to work as like a movie theater at all. It's a TV, not a movie screen.
Awesome job on the build though.

@crinrict Even though the screen I am using is called "Indoor Movie Screen" from the Movie Hangout Pack?
- @taoron24121 Yeah, cause it's an oversized TV but I'll check if I can get some info on this.
@crinrict Thanks. I weep. I look forward to seeing it you can find anything else on this. I did some searching and found some things, but nothing pertaining to tiered seating, in general.
Seems sort of counterproductive to have a Pack all about Movies, with 2 different movie screens that cannot be used in a movie screen type of situation.@crinrict I may have found, at least a basic fix (although some Mods out there might also work out even better. I'm not sure) by using the Outdoor Movie Screen. The controlling Sim stands up to turn the screen on and choose the Movie, but then they will all sit, anywhere in the theater and watch the movie.
It looks goofy in the theter, but it works.[CM - merged multiple posts together]
- @taoron24121 Unfortunately I haven't been able to get extra info but since you solved the issue for now, I'm moving this to game info.
I'll let you know when I get further info and/or move back should it turn out to be a bug. - @crinrict Thanks for the update! It's all good. The outdoor screen worked fine and the Theater even earned me a Maxis Fav, so I'd say it's fixed. =) I appreciate your help and dilligence.
- @taoron24121 Congrats for the Fav.
- @crinrict Thank you ♥
I'm a little late with this reply and I saw that you found a fix but I was just wondering this: is it possible that the tiered seating are all in different "rooms"? When you click on them in buy/build mode, does the game select the entire theatre or just the area where the seats are on the same level as each other?
I'm asking because it would make sense to me that sims can't see the tv if they're in (what the game thinks) is a different room than the actual tv. Which could explain why they all move to the level where the tv is at. Maybe the outdoor screen works differently, I would assume an outdoor screen isn't limited to a "room" as you often have different area's outside (garden, patio and whatever you have outside).
I'm glad you found a fix though! I'm just asking because I'm intrigued and in case something like this happens in the future.
Oh and your build looks awesome! Nice job! 😃
