private strip club

[MiddenMang]

First of all, thank u ww-team for this wonderful mod

I want to run a private strip club only for invited guests. Is that possible?

I tried to find out by myself but i can't find any options (except limitation for man/woman or relationship dependent).

I tried to find mod extensions but unlucky so far. The only hint i found was to install the "Basemental Drugs - mod" but it doesn't give me additional customer exceptions.

 

pls help and best regards

AFAIK, the only thing WW offers is a "known faces only" kind of option that forces the game to spawn Sims already existing in your game instead of generating new ones if necessary. With the Sim tuner (found under "Wicked" when shift-clicking on a Sim), there's an option to mark a Sim as "does not go to strip clubs", but that is a general setting (and very tedious to do for every single Sim).

Then again, these strip clubs are intended to be run like any other business, so an option for a private club would be kind of pointless (same as a "private" restaurant or retail store).

 

Not sure what exactly BMD could offer, unless I missed an update that added something like a blacklist/whitelist option to the "Bouncer" lot trait.

 

The only thing that comes to mind for doing something like what you want would be the "Gender & More" mod by LittleMsSam, that allows one to blacklist/whitelist categories of Sims like gender, different ages, occult types, and a few others. These "filters" can be combined, e.g. to allow only male young adult vampires (by forbidding female Sims, all other ages, all other occult types and "normal" Sims). All Sims not allowed on the lot will still spawn, but leave again right away.

For a private club, all you would have to do is make all "members" fit such a rather specific set of criteria while getting rid of any other Sims that also fit them. Job NPCs should not be affected by this (same for your actively played household BTW), so your strip club dancers and janitors should still show up for work as usual.

If all that sounds good enough to you, you can check out the mod here: https://www.curseforge.com/sims4/mods/gender-more-custom-lot-trait

thank u Crashdown

 

not exactly what i'm searching for but it helps. I have to wait until all dancers are in the building, then i can deactivate all what is not vampire at the front door. A little awkward but it works. ..and 'yes' i do not want that the dancers are vampires until the appetite of my customers rise

If you have the Get Together expansion, you could put all of your desired "customers" in a "Club" and have the main entrance locked for everyone but that club. Allow access for employees.

 

If dancers / bartender / janitors have issues entering, put another entrance elsewhere and lock it for Everyone But Employees. I always use an employees only entrance - gets Sims indoors quicker.

 

You can use MCCC if you need more then eight club members. I use this mod:

Still works fine for me.

ok, i had to study a little simology at sunday. I never used the club function.

 

The club-member and employee entrances work well. The employees do what they should do.
And true, the more-club-members mod still do the job. Btw i can't find any MC Club options
except to give more points to the club.

 

But the club members don't interact with the strippers,
don't use the lapdance spots, don't order drinks at the bar etc.
They dont use the club as strip-club. Most of them talk to each other surrounding the outdoor trashcan,
the others ignore the employees.
And yes, after i displaced the trashcan, they surround the new spot.

 

The program generates outside the club area a crowd of people like
I would give away free football tickets. I guess these are the real customers.

 

thanks anyway the idea was good.

Weird. It USED to work. Make sure your employs aren't in a club. I DO remember that other Sims showed up outside and stood around but couldn't get in. Mort Goth had a "Private" club in Oasis Springs. Small club - 6 dancers, 1 janitor, bartender.

 

He had a club with only "iconic" males Sims - Mort, Bob Pancakes, Eric Lewis, Bjorn Bjergson, etc. Mort's club members interacted with the girls (including prostitution) and the girls danced. There were people outside, though.

 

This was a couple years back, though. Maybe something changed in the game, or I just forgot a step or forgot about another mod. I'm working on a giant hotel now (and the four story waterfall into a ground level fountain from the rooftop infinity pool is driving me nuts!) but I might take a break from that for a bit and try a new strip club.

For the "club gathering" idea, I think you need to set having sex and drinking at the bar as club activities (perhaps also flirting with others) to have club members interact with the dancers / prostitutes like "regular" customers. Maybe also set those same activities as forbidden for club members amongst each other, so that they only approach other Sims (i.e. the dancers), and double-check that all Sims involved are compatible preference-wise (part of gender settings in CAS).

 

In any case, you won't get rid of the crowd outside. That's the one big drawback of special doors and door locking in this game, not just in the context of strip clubs.

I’ve been messing around with mods too and had a similar idea to create a private strip club for a select crowd. I came across some mods like the "Basemental Drugs" mod too, but like you, I didn’t find anything that would let me fully control customer access, like invitation-only features. Honestly, it seems like there’s a gap in the modding community for something like that. A place like Shinlim Shirt Room (신림셔츠룸) comes to mind—kind of a niche, exclusive vibe where you can create an intimate experience for your guests. It’s not exactly a strip club, but it works for more controlled, invite-only environments.

Fantastic idea. Would love to see this implemented.

 

Does anyone know if it’s possible to do the following: Attract rich clients only. Force clients to wear formal or party attire.

AFAIK, rich clients only isn't possible, but you can use the "Gender and More" mod by LittleMsSam to have certain Sims (e.g. ghosts, elders...) sent away automtically. These Sims will still spawn on the lot, but leave right away again (note that this can significantly reduce the number of people in your club, if the game continuously spawns "undesired" Sims).

You can check out the mod here: https://www.curseforge.com/sims4/mods/gender-more-custom-lot-trait

 

As for forcing Sims to wear a certain category of attire (or none at all), LMS also has you covered with the "Dress Code" mod. Since the dancers and janitors at strip clubs are job roles, they should not be affected by any dress code you set, but I haven't played around with this mod in a while, so I'm not perfectly certain.

Anyway, you can get the mod here: https://www.curseforge.com/sims4/mods/dress-code-custom-lot-traits

 

Note that while they are called "lot traits", both of these mods offer an additional file to turn them into lot challenges (which are not limited to three per lot) and can thus simply be added to any existing lot.
