I've been running into some challenges when running my Wicked Whims strip clubs.

I'm usually not the type of person who likes to get online and complain, but I've been running into some challenges whenever I choose to run my strip clubs for a night. It wasn't like this when I first started using wicked whims in 2021. However, I'm definitely noticing a big difference & it appears to be getting worse with each update. Maybe if I post about this here something could be done to help solve the problems I'm experiencing whenever I use this specific part of the mod.

 

The first issue I keep having is the loiterers & the amount of trash they leave behind. At first the loiterers would leave just 1 layer of trash per pile, but now it will literally be 3-5 layers of trash per pile. This wouldn't be an issue if the dancers that I've assigned to charm clients would kick the loiterers out. That leads me to my next issue. Around the time I first started using this mod the dancers would actually put in some effort to kick the loiterers out. Now they will RARELY do that. Instead, now all they care about is charming clients & giving private lap dances. They'll even try to charm the loiterers instead of asking them to leave. Again, I know some people might like this challenge. For me it takes some of the fun out of it if I have to focus solely on kicking out every loiter that comes into my club because I know the other dancers aren't going to kick them out. So, since the loiterers leave so much trash & the dancers won't kick them out, the trash in my clubs begin to pile up very quickly. This leads me to my next issue. The janitors barely do their jobs anymore. If they're not dancing to the music that's playing, they're picking up the trash piles but then putting them back down on the ground. They weren't like this when I first started using wicked whims. They were really good about cleaning up behind the patrons. They're still good about fixing broken sinks & toilets. However, now every time there's trash on the ground, either all my janitors will try to pick it up at the same time causing them to glitch/reset or one janitor will be in the process of picking it up but then they'll put it back down on the ground. Also, they never autonomously mop up the vomit left behind by the drinkers. I always have to instruct them to mop that up. Speaking of the drinkers, another issue I'm having is now the drinker sims have started picking up the trash out of the trashcans & putting them on the ground. So now I have to worry about not only the loiters leaving trash but also the drinkers. The last issue isn't that big of a problem, just something that I've noticed. The watcher sims now usually tend to crowd around one pole dancer & they'll only focus on that one pole dancer for most of the night. This might be happening because of how I've built some of my strip clubs, but in earlier versions of wicked whims I do remember the watcher sims taking the time to watch all the pole dancers throughout the night.

 

If someone else is experiencing these issues, please tell me. I feel like it can't be just me. Again, it's not like I want running a strip club to be easy. It's just getting to a point where it's hard for me to enjoy running them. I have to focus on doing everything because the staff I hired aren't doing what they're supposed to do. This specific part of the mod wasn't always like this. After so many updates I've begun to notice these issues happening more & more. I don't know if these changes were made on purpose, but I hope the mod creator will try to find a better balance in the future.❤️

It might be due to too many Sims being on the lot and the game literally cannot compute, or maybe other mods that cause confusion in Sims' autonomy.
