MOD FRAMEWORK UPDATED TO v7.2a (2024-JAN-23):

• Improved Settings menu (click on active sim > select 'CinErotique')
• Improved Video Rental menu
• Added new CineMinis Collection Tracker + 11 new figurines to collect
• Added new 'Watch Porn With...' interaction for the 7 main channels
• New Object: Watchable Always-On Cinema Screens
• New Object: Glass Shelf Displays, optimized specifically for displaying figurines

 

Files affected by this update:

• BASE_FRAMEWORK_PECO_CinErotique.package 
• BASE_FRAMEWORK_PECO_CinErotique.ts4script
• MODULES folder / all 7 PECO_MODULE_TVCHANNEL_xxxxx.packages files

 

WHAT'S NEW: ⬇️

Spoiler

Improved Settings menu

All setting now have been moved into an easy to use picker menu tied to the sim. This provides easier navigation, and a convenient "one-stop-shop" for everything, without the inconvenience of using clumsy sub-pie menus. You can find it by clicking on the sim, then selecting 'CinErotique' from the pie menu.

 

 

One thing on the bottom of the list might catch your eye... that's the brand-spanking-new...

 

 

Collection Tracker

It has been requested by many users to have a convenient way to track your CineMinis figurine collection, but until now I couldn't really think of a good way to do so, as the ingame collection manager seems to be hardcoded in such a way, that it makes it really hard to add anything to it without the high risk of breaking the whole damn thing... so I was like "Fine, I'm going to build my own collection manager!" (with blackjack and hookers :P)

In this new Collection Tracker menu, you can see all the CineMinis listed, with an easy to keep track marking of the ones you already got... You can even click on all of them to bring up a nice info panel that really helps to showcase these gorgeous little pieces of plastics.

Note: the ownership markings are based on the active sim's inventory and (when at home) their home lot. So if the sim has a figurine in either in their inventory or somewhere in the house, then it will be marked owned.

There's also 11 new CineMinis added to the base mod, bringing their total number is up to 30 now!

 

New 'Watch Porn With...' interaction

This is another feature that has been asked for many times, and finally got around to implement it.
It's basically like the 'Watch Movie with..." interaction, just for CinErotique. You can find it on the TV's pie menu, 'Watch Porn channel' > 'Watch Porn channel With...' then select up to three other sims from the list, and let the fun begin.

Some Notes on this feature:

- The feature is only implemented for the 7 main channels at the moment, and are not available for the individual Video-on-Demand titles. That would require quite a massive update of all the individual video packages, so it's something that maybe can come at a later date.
- At the moment, You can only select sims to watch with who have at least met with the active sim (I mean, who would watch porn with strangers, am I right?! :)... this also means that if there are no matching sim available, the option to 'watch with' will not show up on the TV... but as always, I'm open for suggestions, so if you have any better idea on how this list should be filtered please share it with me in the comments.
- You'll notice that as soon as the interaction is started the TV is turned on to the chosen channel. This is on purpose, so sims don't have to waste time on waiting for each other to arrive. This is especially useful if - let's say - a third sim is coming from somewhere further away, so this way the other 2 sims can just start watching the TV without waiting around like a donkey for the last sim to arrive. 😉

New Objects

New Watchable Always-On Cinema screens

While we already had the static (decorative) always-on screens in the mod, now I've finally added some that can be watched by the sims (but can not be tampered with)

 

 

These Cinema Displays are ideal for cinema builds (duh), as you can just plop them down, and let your simmies flock to see the show.

There are two versions of this screen, one is framed and one is frameless. They are the same size and do the same thing, so it's just about which look you prefer.

They both feature 5 swatches, which represent the playlist they will show. These are:

• All videos - this just plays random videos, like the Shuffle Channel does on the TV.
• Movies - this playlist only includes the videos that are marked as movies.
• Straight / Lesbian / Gay - these are - quite self-explanatory - only play content that are marked as Straight, Lesbian or Gay respectively.

They can be found in Build Buy > Electronics > Televisions > 'CinErotique CINEMA display'

Note: you can not "change the channel" on the cinema screens once they are placed on the lot. If you want to replace them with a different one you have to do it from the Build-Buy menu... They only cost $1 though, so it shouldn't break the bank to do so 😉

PS: don't forget, if you don't like the size, you can always just resize object by using the [ and ] keys.

Also, if you're looking for some sweet cinema seats, ATS4 has you covered.

 

New Glass Shelf Displays, optimized specifically for displaying figurines

It comes in two versions, one is just a plain old shelf, the other one has built in lights - to better showcase the figurines - as they can look a bit wonky under insufficient room lights.
Not much more to say, lol, they are shelves, you can put stuff on them 🙂

 

 

They can be found in Build Buy > Surfaces > Displays > 'Glass Shelf Display for figurines'

Note: the lit version of the shelf will cast light on the wall behind it, which - depending on the wallpaper - can look a bit too bright. This is something I'm aware of and will fine tune it in later versions, but it's quite a struggle, as the lighting component of modding is rather poorly documented, so I'm kinda just experimenting with changing numbers around and see what happens. 😅

Video Rental has been updated

The 'Rent a video' option has been moved from the TV's main pie menu to Watch Porn Channel > Video Rental. Where once opened it will list all the available videos, but if you click on the top item in the list you can filter the selection further based on genre / orientation.
This is nothing new, just gives you a quicker way to navigate over the old system of using sub-pie menus.

 

I tested it quite a lot while working on it in the past month, but there could always be circumstances that I can't account for, so if you find a bug, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

 

 

Also, a bit of shameless shilling:
On top of the 30 CineMinis figurines that are included in the new base mod framework, there is now also 17 more available for download on -PATREON-

RARE BUG FOUND

 

I just found out that the mod throws a LE error, in the rare case when you have the CInErotique mod framework installed, but you haven't also downloaded/added at least one of the actual video package files as well... The issue is caused by an interaction I use for internal testing to generate a list of all installed video files borking out if it can't find any.

 

I mean this should be an extremely fringe case, as the mod is pretty pointless to have if you don't also install videos for it to watch.

 

Nevertheless, this is an oversight from my part, and will issue an update probably later on today, but for the meantime, it can be easily solved by downloading and adding AT LEAST ONE of the video package files to your Mods folder.

 

EDIT: This issue is now fixed in framework v7.2b

Hey there,

first of all: thank you for your mods. I do enjoy all your work.
Now my question: Do I also have to Update all the Videos when updating the framework? I remember last updating EVERYTHING in middle of December 2023, dont know the exact Version tho

No, when the framework is updated, you only need to update those files included with it.

The individual video packages are future proofed, and need almost no update ever!
If by any chance they need to be updated (like they did in last April, because of a total format change), then I will specifically communicate that it the update notes here.

NEW COLLECTIBLE FIGURINES ARE AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD

 

You know what's even better than one of these creeps looking at you through the window while you're having fun?... Having them the as little miniatures looking at you from the shelf!... (preferably a shelf in the bedroom that is.)

 

Your friendly neighborhood stalkers, Peeping Tom and Tina from WickedWhims are now available as CineMinis figurines, and they just can't wait for you to find them by opening a fresh CineMinis Figurine box.

 

 

 

General info on figurines: ⬇️

Spoiler

How to acquire figurines in game:

The CineMinis figurines are collectible items, that can not be bought outright, but rather you need to find them by opening CineMinis boxes.
Each box contains one figurine of random rarity.

 

CineMinis boxes can be bought from either:

• using the Computer > Order > CinErotique Webhop > CIneMinis Figurine Box ($100)
• or by clicking on the active sim > CinErotique > Collection Tracker > Purchase more CineMinis boxes.

How to install figurine package files:

• Download the figurine package file(s) of your choice from above.    
• Copy the package file(s) into the CinErotique > MINIFIGS folder within your Sims4 Mods folder.
  (Default path for the Mods folder is: Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods)

Dependencies:
These package files are not standalone mods, they need the latest version of the CinErotique Main Mod file to be installed to function!

So sorry to bug with questions, but I'm having a lot of issues with attempting to use the "DownThemAll!" extension from your main file post (I have been following the tutorial and screenshots).

Up to the point that confirm=1 selected them all and I clicked download there were no issues. But on the actual download manager every file is forbidden and can't download.

Since all the videos were updated Thursday I'm assuming I need to download all 97 files (the framework + 96 videos) again. To be clear, I do want all the videos; I don't assume I need them all.

If this extension can't work do you happen to have another place to download your videos in bulk? I downloaded your mod for the first time a couple weeks ago and I just can't go through the pain of manually downloading every file again this time around.

Hi!

1. The ninety-something individual video package files weren't updated, only the framework was, you don't need to download those again. In fact, the video packages almost never need updating, but in a rare case they do, i will specifically say so in the update notes.
2. DownThemAll seems to work just fine (tried it out just to be sasfe), so all i can think of is that maybe you are in incognito mode, that's when it usually borks up.

Thank you for the quick response! So happy I don't have to re-download those.

Regarding DownThemAll, I don't use incognito mode, but I am behind a VPN. Sadly, if I can't use this program behind a VPN I may just never be able to use it. Glad to see it is working though somewhere.

Is there a way to install all packages with just a few clicks? I mean, it's a kinda annoying install all packages one by one

[Karuselleri]

Hello!

 

I love this mod, thank you so much for creatign it for us!! ❤️ I have one question though: how can I get my sims to watch the videos until the end? I have set their attention span to maximum but still they keep shutting the TV off in the middle of the movie they´re watching  what could cause this?

ooof... hard to say what could exactly cause this. the attention spans set the porn watch-time between a lower and an upper timed boundary, which is for the Long attention span is 4.5-8 irl minutes... that should cover almost all the videos in length, though sims can still "bail out" before time if one of their needs gets really low (like, if they're really hungry or need to pee)...

which interaction are we talking about?

1. Watch Porn Channel > Watch X channel,
2. Watch Porn Channel > Video rental or
3. Watch Porn Channel > Watch X channel with

I just tested the attention span for a vanilla new game with Bob Pancake for both watching a channel and the Video rental, and - apart from being chatty with Eliza while watching - everything worked as intended... so, yeah, I dunno.

Hmm, maybe it's just the needs then. This happens mostly with the video rental, usually when they watch it autonomously they stay a little longer.

Surprised no one else has reported issues with the latest EA patch, as I did have a tuning error:

Possible Cause (Confidence: 100%)	\CinErotique\BASE_FRAMEWORK_PECO_CinErotique.package
Reason	[cjiang] Error occurred within the tag named 'possible_actions' (value: L) (TunableMinimumLengthError)

Was just about to make a post about it. I had to do the 50/50 method to figure out this was the one throwing last exceptions at me  Would love an update on it.

'ello! I seem to have an issue with sims not completing the Seasons movie premier holiday tradition. I'm not sure if it's related to this mod or not, but I took it out just in case. Does the update fix an issue such as that? Or is this due to some other broken mod?

Hello i just want to confirm do i need to redownload all the videos when the mods updates?

Are we talking about the "TV Season Premiere" holiday? Seems to work just fine for me. It showed up properly, and I was also able to complete it without a problem.

No, you don't have to re-download and/or update the individual video package files.

I had an issue where the Sims despise watching the premier didn't fulfill the tradition. One of them started watching and then went up and left autonomously. She never finished the tradition. Out of the four Sims only one fulfilled the holiday before I removed your mod for testing purposes. It was a earlier version of the mod though so maybe it's fixed now?

Sorry, but I'm unable to replicate what you're describing. This mod - by default - does not interfere with the ingame TV channels...

Left to do what?

Looking at the ingame tv_Watch_Holiday_TVPremiere interaction's tuning, it's set to last for a fixed 60 minutes, with only the usual default alt exit conditions in case one of the sims' motives (energy, hunger, bladder) are near failing or in case the TV breaks.

 

------------------

 

EDIT: I'll probably include a little "correction" to the ingame watch tv autonomy in the next update that will force the sim to choose the Season Premiere in case the holiday is active and is not fulfilled yet by the sim.

It's alright. I guess it's just my game glitching. Sorry for bothering you.

 

The Sim's motives were fine. I don't recall what exactly they went to do. Probably grabbing a glass of water or something. I don't remember. It's not important anyhow.
