Strip clubs =========== Start a new business of managing a strip club, consider a new career of becoming a dancer, or do both at the same time! Create a Business Create an entirely new business - Strip Club. Just like retail stores, restaurants, and veterinary clinics, assign a lot for your Strip Club business and build it up from scratch. Simply take out your phone and buy a club! Strip Club businesses come with the same requirements as a Nightclub venue but offer so much more. Prepare the stage, hire alluring dancers, and let the music play! All of the managing functions are controlled from the special club managing category on your phone. Including designing dancers outfits, handling paychecks, and improving the club quality. All of the hired employees define the type of your club with their gender and preference, allowing you to make a regular club, a gay club, or a mixed club. This affects what kind of clients show up at your venue as well. Talented Dancers & Needy Clients Every Strip Club needs dancers, but not just for dancing. Each employee is assigned a task to optimize the business for the visiting customers. In many situations, the person managing the business needs to decide what is the best approach to handle the clients at the current moment. Dancers can take a charming role, picking random clients to engage them in a conversation and encourage to spend more or get a private dance. Certain clients come specifically for their favorite dancers and socializing is all they need to be satisfied. Dancers with good social skills are better at charming, making connections with clients that are then willing to pay more for their favorite dancers. It’s not always about looking at naked bodies, sometimes you just want to chat a little. No matter the circumstances, charming always benefits the business by establishing clients that are invested in their favorite dancers. Every club comes with a bar and someone has to be tending it. Dancers can be assigned a bartender role which encourages clients to buy more drinks. A dancer that manages the bar can persuade other clients to get a drink, shifting the dynamic of the club customers to spend more money on alcohol. Some clients visit the club purely to drink so assigning a dancer to tend the bar is often necessary. Be careful how you design your club, as you wouldn’t want non-drinking clients hogging the bar. Obviously, dancers have to dance. Preparing a stage, dancing poles, and sitting positions for clients is necessary. Each dancer is always ready to get on the stage and dance for everybody in the club. Clients interested in the dancer will get around and happily tip them for their sway moves, especially if it’s their favorite dancer. It can get pretty dry without music, so getting a DJ is a no-brainer. Dancers come with their favorite music genre that increases their dancing performance which reflects in the profit they make. Coordinating dancers with the played music greatly benefits the club, making both dancers and clients happier. When the client is not into loud music, going to a quieter place for a private dance sounds like a tempting idea. Dancers can offer or be requested a private dance which makes things a lot more interesting. A private dance is a lot more profitable for dancers and a lot more exciting for clients. And who knows, maybe more can happen than just a dance. And there are useless clients, that just sit around without spending any money. Charming dancers can try to involve them into the club flow and bartending dancers can suggest getting a drink... but if none of it works, kicking them out might be the best option. It’s better to make space for clients that are good for business. Pole Dancing & Private Dancing Every dancer can either get on the stage and dance on the pole for everybody or get in a dark room with a client and give them a lap dance. Pole Dancing is handled by a new system that operates similarly to how sex animations play, allowing creators to contribute with new dance moves. Ideally, dances are categorized by their performing difficulty which affects how often certain moves are made. Playing favorite music genre of a dancer improves the performance allowing for more high difficulty moves which result in higher tips. Clients gathered around that watch the dance gain appreciation for the dancer and throw money at the stage which directly benefits the dancer or the club. Private Dancing uses the same new system, allowing creators to contribute animations and configure how involved the moves are. Dancing, rubbing, touching, or being naughty in any other way make clients really excited. And when they get far too stimulated, they may pay for more than just dancing. But let’s not ruin what has been developing for so long, after all, it’s all about teasing and letting them come back for more to increase profit. You wouldn’t want to give it all on the first night, would you? Voyeurism ========= Peeping No one knows what you will see when peeking through a window into your neighbor's house. Any Sim can do it, through any window, at any house, or even public venue. Yet there isn't always something to look at, which can get quite boring (Bored Moodlet). But once some naked bodies get into view, it can get pretty exciting (Excited Moodlet). Be careful though, getting caught can ruin your reputation, especially when the owner of the house sees you, and then it's time to run away (Caught Moodlet, Running Away). Showtime When naked bodies present themselves in the window, especially through sexual activities, the showtime begins. Sims are encouraged to get naked and have sex in certain rooms, as if some greater power made them do it, to increase the chance of showtime occurring (Sex Autonomy). And if spotted, at the right time, maybe even you can be a part of the showtime when invited inside (Initiating Sex). Sexual Gratification Peeping Sims will rarely join up on the action, but the pressure of peeking on sexy bodies has to be released somehow. That is when masturbating comes into play, which might help, but it definitely increases the chance of getting caught... but that's part of the fun. Shady Business Why waste the value of showtime that you might never see again - take pictures! Sims will automatically take pictures when something is happening. And if that's okay with you, it's possible to sell them on the internet for some money. A picture can be either of a naked Sim or a Sim in sex, each is worth a different price. Think about it though, interest to buy pictures of the same Sims all the time decreases, which lowers the value. Constantly selling the same content will not be as profitable. Peeping Tom Where is the fun if you need to do everything yourself. Enjoy the thrill of being observed and tease the peeping Sims. A male or female Sim will randomly visit your neighborhood, looking for a naked occasion. Will you be one of the naked Sims teasing the voyeur? Sex Autonomy ============ Situation The base is still the same, the process looks for available Sims, but this time it includes Player Sims too. And there is a setting that allows you to exclude Player Sims from the autonomy process. One new thing that Sims test for is the risk. If they are teens or elders or there are underage Sims at the active lot, the risk will be higher. The risk is used to determine if Sims want to take it, but currently, it doesn't affect the overall possibility of autonomy too much. Later this process will include pregnancy chance as a way to affect the risk too. Relationship Not much changed in this process. In a previous update, romantic conversations were hooked to trigger sex autonomy. If Sims are flirty long enough they will eventually get to the business. Now, if both Sims have a flirty mood and if the target has a high desire level, the chance for sex autonomy trigger will be higher, as much as 75% on the High Level setting. High Autonomy Level has more effect on other things too. Location This process got the most of the work. Locations are now divided into 5 location style categories. Privacy Location Style will look for the most private place, something that was the default process since autonomy introduction. Comfort Location Style will look for the most comfortable place, like a bed, this one is more common this time around. Semi-Open Location Style will look for bigger rooms or anything from the previous locations styles and ignore more restrictions. Open Location Style will look for something without a roof, like your backyard. Public Location Style will look for anything outside the current active lot. Location Style is picked based on the Sims that will be having sex, the lot venue type, time of the day, if it's a party, and a little bit of randomness. Every location style carries a risk chance with them, so more extreme places will be less likely to occur. Evaluation of room types was reworked to recognize them base on the majority of objects. Picked objects are shuffled and only counted as unique to allow for more options. And the performance of finding locations was significantly improved.
