With the custom venue option I was finally able to get a reasonably well-used cinema. Not a getaway, but a good family venue.
There were still a few annoyances - 1) every single sim who came to watch a movie changed the movie channel so, at the beginning, the picture on the tv kept swapping or resetting as they all filed in and 2) some sims (even my own sim stood at the back, who I had told to sit) refused to sit down. But it was certainly more occupied than any way I tried previous to this pack and the sims spent a good time watching movies before moving to the bar or to have popcorn. I was also able to have both a downstairs and upstairs bar staffed and have a spare staff member for fixing and cleaning.
Looks awesome!! Sure has its annoyances, but like you said works way better still 🤩
