Missing 4 full-res photos, 1 file, as this post has not yet been imported.

Content

Want to give your Sims some more stuff to do? Let them watch something new on a computer or the big screen. With each movie, there is also a poster, which you can find in Build-Buy mode. For a better experience, click on the Sim watching the movie and press Shift+Tab to enter first-person mode. This will allow you to watch the movies through your sim's eyes.

Installation

Download the file below and extract its content  into your Sims 4 mods directory (typically C:\Documents\Electronic  Arts\The Sims 4\Mods).

Updating

Same as installing, but when asked to overwrite existing files, press Yes.

PS: Zipped files come with a structured folder and sub-folders, to make installation easier and to avoid creating duplicates. If you copy TanksMods from the zip file and paste it in your Sims 4 Mods directory, it will automatically create the main directory (TanksMods) and copy the necessary files or overwrite the existing ItsMovieTime mod for you (when updating)

If you need support with the mod or want to leave a review or  make requests, please join Discord server https://discord.com/invite/NhYVhY35ex

Remember to delete localthumbcache.package and avatarcache.package in your Sims 4 directory when updating mods.

Requirements

Translations

Changes

  • Added a new autonomous "Watch Movie With Sim" sim picker interaction on TV objects.

  • Fixed an issue with the interaction "Watch a Movie" not working properly on console objects.

  • Reworked the "Watch Movie With..." sim picker interaction, so that its hidden when there are no sims around or the actor has not met any of the nearby sims.

hey! do the sims watch the FULL movie? it always starts in the beginning but my sim never watches too much of it before shutting it off because of their needs.... also, do they have to watch the full movie before finding out if they like that movie genre? Thank you! <3

_tank_
>>121016744

Hey Stephanie! There are some criteria for the Sim to watch the full movie, and most of the time, they dont watch a full movie (stressed, motives near failure, feeling miserable or bored, etc). You can use the Turn On function, to play a movie and then have the Sim watch it. This way, if the Sim does stop watching it, the TV will stay on. Also, there is a 10% chance that they will like or dislike a movie genre after watching it. I tried to stick to the original game-play.

Stephanie
>>121016744

a 10% chance of getting a like or dislike if they watch the entire movie? or can it happen even after watching for only a few minutes? Also, how long are the movies? are they actually the full movies!?

_tank_
>>121016744

It can happen after the sims stop watching, so it might happen at any time. The movies are on average 10 mins long, as they are movie clips.

Stephanie

Hi! Just wanted to give you the update that "thriller" is misspelled! It's missing the h! <3

_tank_
>>121827211

Oh, ok lol, thanks for letting me know. Ill fix that in the next update.

amilyah

Hey don’t this mod suppose to tell you how many movies you download in the notification pane because I don’t see no pop notification telling me I how many movies I have in like the public free version?

amilyah

It works but jt don’t pop up notifications telling how many movies I installed.

_tank_
>>124283830

Hi Amilyah, sorry the delay, could you please switch to Discord server for the support? The Patreon notifications when someone leaves a comment dont always show up immediately. Also, did you delete localthumbcache after updating to Patreon version?

amilyah

Sorry I didn’t know today my first dsy being Patreon I will try that.

_tank_
>>124283830

Also, in order to make the popup less annoying, it will show only once when installed, and everytime you install a new movie.

Sandra Asare

Hi, i noticed that whenever my Sims switches to towel they wear your Film Festival outfit.

_tank_
>>125658004

Huh, thats weird. Im gonna check it in a bit. Thanks for letting me know.

_tank_
>>125658004

Ok, i believe i have fixed this, one of the female tshirts wasnt properly tagged. Make sure to delete localthumbcache from Sims 4 directory after updating. Although i have tested it multiple times, let me know if its fixed on your side too.

Magic Getio

can you prevent the sim from turning off the premiere? i keep trying to watch it but he keeps turning it off

Farfalla_in_Borsa

Hi! Thank you for you job! But cinema function in this version of the mod doesn’t work. Once my sim try to buy a cinema or go to the cinema and I choose the lot (which I've done with all the options there) the game stops and the Better Exceptions reports that there is this kind of error: Possible Cause (Confidence: 30%): Projects\TanksMods/src\tanksmods\zone_directors/cinema.py Exception raised while processing zone spin up sequence: TANK:ItsMovieTime_ObjectStates_Movie_Channel_States (KeyError: TANK:ItsMovieTime_ObjectStates_Movie_Channel_States)

_tank_
>>128320534

Hi! Can you confirm that you have at least one movie installed? Because during once the lot loads up, the mod tries to locate any installed movie and play it on the lot TVs. Im guessing that might be the case. Also, if possible, please upload the Exception file on discord, so i can have a deeper look at it.

Farfalla_in_Borsa

Hello! Can you explain please how does The Sims Film Festival work? Whether I have to do something to activate it or no? Because now i can’t see any information in my calendar, there are only Movie Premier holidays. I've put all the objects to watch movies in Magnolia Blossom (screen and chairs) and I also tried to find some objects of the festival, but I've found only the statue and there is no shop. So, how does it work? Or is it possible that i can't see it because of some mod conflict?

_tank_
>>129498132

Hi. The festival is fully automatic, so no need to do anything on your side to activate it. All the required objects will spawn automatically once you go to the festival. Try to keep an eye during Mondays at 3 AM, because thats usually the time when it gets marked on your calendar. There is also a notification that pops up when the festival is up.

Boudicca of the Southern Wastelands

I just wanted to pop in and say I'm loving the Movie Festival! It's a blast watching those silly sims root and cheer during the movies and chat with each other. Thank you for such a fun mod, Tank!

amilyah

hey every time try to clickk for ticket on the cashier it exit out in tpose.

_tank_
>>130235414

You mean you cant buy a ticket from the cashier? Is there an error or lastexception or something? Im gonna check tomorrow on my side

_tank_
>>130235414

Hi. I just tested it on my side, but everything is working ok. Do you have MCCC or BetterException installed? See if there is a lastexception report or something, ill have a look at it and see whats the issue.

_tank_
>>130235414

If you can, upload it on Discord in the support channel, ill have a look at it

_tank_
>>130235414

Ok, go to Support Channel, and click on the + Button, just next to where you start typing. Thats the upload button, select the LastException and press enter, that should do it.

OGSimmaSimma

How do you own the cinema as a business? I do not see any instructions

_tank_
>>130353135

There is a new Cinema menu in your sims phone, you start from there. You will also need either zerbu's venue changes mod or the customized basemental venue list attached to the mod page. It works as any another business, except its managed through the phone (unless you have EP01 as well, it would then be possible to manage it from business panel too, once you have bought the business).

OGSimmaSimma

Thank you I was able to see it. I’ve noticed that I’m not able to use the mod. Every time I try to go watch a movie nothing shows up. Did I install it wrong? It started working on its own at the theater but not at the houses.

Farfalla_in_Borsa

Hi! Just want to ask. Can you please make possible to put cinema tickets on cork boards (like postcards) and to give them a name like we can do it with pictures? It would be so nice to memorize the day of movie premiere or the first date of my sim, for example. . Is it possible in one of the next renewals of the mod? Thank you 🙏

ShayLaSoul

I hope this isn't an overstep and my apologies if it is. Just wanted to throw out some movie ideas for your next movie drop: - The Equalizer - Olympus Has Fallen - Logan - Poetic Justice - Man on Fire - Black Phone - Kiss the Girls - The Accountant - A Quiet Place - The Holiday - Mortal Kombat (2021) - Unbreakable - Split - The Prisoners - The Day After Tomorrow - Peppermint - The Bourne Identity - Inglourious Basterds - The Departed - Bebe's Kids - The Untouchables (1987) - Unfaithful - A Beautiful Mind - Good Will Hunting - The Notebook - Girl, Interrupted

_tank_
>>131136151

Ideas and suggestions. I love them! Thanks, i will add these to the To-Do list and release whatever is possible, as soon as i can.

Jason Irwin

Love the mod. Is it possible to have a random function? I'd like to tell my sim to just watch a random movie without having to scroll through all the titles and trying to pick one at random.

_tank_
>>131204689

Yeah, that would be possible. Its actually already implemented, but its more like an autonomy thing, not as an interaction. I'll see to it. Thanks for the feedback

BreakBeats91x

Hi Tank! First off, thanks for the brilliant mod - been using it for a while now. Quick query? Now with the new patch, it shows up in game but the movies won’t load, even though the mod message pops up and acknowledges how many I have. Is there somewhere I can send you the LE report?

_tank_
>>131358958

Hi there and thanks for the feedback :). You need to redownload the movies too, they have been updated for the latest game patch. I have a early flight in the morning, so cant help right now, but you can updatd the LE on the discord server and i will give it a look as soon as i can.

BreakBeats91x
>>131358958

Thanks for the quick reply! I’ll put it on the discord as I’ve re-downloaded all the movies too so not sure what’s happening. Have a safe flight!

Stephanie

is there a way to make the festivals happen at different times? they always happen while my sims are at school so I thought like maybe a different time or day when they don't have school!

Simminwithniik

Do you know if the movies for this mod conflict with other tv overrides?

Ronni

Love your work! Keep it up! Any chance we can get more horror movies? I'ma huge horror movie fan and so is my sim lol.

_tank_
>>132916548

Thanks for the feedback :) I have a big list of movies lol, but ill do my best!

Kimie M

Tank, you really are amazing, i appreciate your work with these mods! Thank you :-)

Elhea Fauvette

I can't get my sims to buy tickets. its an exception for me

_tank_
>>138089443

Hi. Can you upload the exception on Discord, so i can have a look at it?

Christina Richmond

Hey there, loving this mod!! Question, when I visit restaurants now, the only controls are for the cinema on the cashier station, I can no longer check into the restaurant. Have I got a setting messed up somewhere? Thank you!!

Cici Bibi

heyyyy this is one of the most perfectt mods honestly, how many tv shows/movies i can download at a time??? becuase if i can i want to download them all lol

_tank_
>>140617391

Hi Cici, thank for the feedback :) There is no limit, you can download them all.

Gemma Anderson

Hey Tank! First of all, thank you for this mod! It's one of my favourites! I do have one issue though...I have downloaded nearly all the movies and I've put them in the mods folder, however they dont all show up in the game since the latest patch? Thanks again!

_tank_
>>144887953

Uhmm, some show up and some not? If thats the case, im guessing its because some of the movies are premiere movies, and when installed, at first they will create a custom event for the specific movie, and the movie wont be visible in the picker till the event is over. You may disable the premiere feature for any movie category or altogether, if you want to see the newly installed movie right away.

Gemma Anderson
>>144887953

The premiere event toggle is turned off so I don't think it's that, plus I've had the movie in the folder since you released it (Harry Potter). I might have to reinstall the movies. Thank you so much anyway 😊

TMac

Hi, I joined your Patreon just to support this mod from you. So thank you for this. I love it, but I am getting an LE, even when this is the only mod in my game, regarding a "Module Not Found Error" for a cinema bartender? Is this a known issue?

_tank_
>>145369262

Hi TMac. Thanks! There shouldn't be a problem. If you can, please upload the LE report file on Discord server, so i can have a look at what module is missing.

Nance

Hi Tank! I love this mod so much, thank you for all you do. Since the new Lovestruck release and the lastest update I'm having problems with this mod. I played the game with no CC's in the MOD folder just this mod and the CAS isn't loading properly when I go to edit a family. I also get UIException errors. I think it has something to do with the CAS selection which has been removed, you can't select favourite movies anymore.

_tank_
>>146442420

Hi Nance and thank you for your support. Please make sure to install Zerbu's Custom Preferences too, as this is a requirement for the Movie Genre Preferences, since the Lovestruck release.

Nance
>>146442420

Ah ok, thank you it works now. I did have Zerbu's Custom Preferences it just needed the current update. Thanks for that.

SHAE

Hey would it be possible for them to Relax in bed and watch a movie? its a option for regular watching would love that feature

Stephanie

Oooh would it be possible to watch movie while working out?

Kimie80

if we have basemental venue AND zerbu venue at the same time, will they conflict???

Kimie80
>>146870390

Thank you so much, I had a feeling it would so I removed zerbu's already but wanted to make sure bc some of my stuff said I need theirs but I guess they don't know about Basemental's. I appreciate you clarifying!

_tank_
>>146870390

Actually, i would suggest to keep Zerbu and remove the other one. Zerbu doesnt need updating.

Kimie80
>>146870390

ah okay! thank you for the advice Tank, always appreciate ya :-)

Dreamview

Hi Tank, I installed the newest updated for Its Movie Time, but when I am entering the CAS to modify my Sims I cannot get into it and Better Exceptions is showing a window: Better Exceptions: UI Exception v3.13 | Created by TwistedMexi A UI Exception occurred while you didn't have a household loaded. I did 50/50 method and finally I found that when I removed your mod I was able to go into CAS again. Can you help, please?

_tank_
>>146880462

Hey bud, you need to install Zerbu's Custom Preferences (the last one) as its a requirement now for custom preferences like Movie Genre. This due to the changes EA made, so Zerbus mod is more like a global mod for custom preferences. You will find the link to Zerbu in the IMT description page.

Dreamview
>>146880462

Oh, wow! Didn't know it was updated 3 days ago. Thank you for all your work! This mod is a MUST for me :-)

Christina Richmond
>>146880462

TANK!!! You just fixed my ENTIRE GAAAAAME, I could not figure out why I had been having so many issues, even 50/50'ing wasn't working! THANK YOU!!!

Stephanie
>>146853492

If it’s too much of a hassle please don’t worry about it ! 🫶🏻

Nance

Hi Tank! Any chance of adding The Crow movie? It's one of my favs. As well as Almost Famous, Rockstar and Step Brothers? Would it be possible to add Documentaries as a movie genre, along with some documentaries?

_tank_
>>147144789

Hey Nance! Yes i like The Crow, one of the best. I'll see how fast i can do it. And yes, ill see to the documentaries, to implement them somehow, wanted to add animes too and cartoons for kids, so ill work on them as soon as time allows.

Minnie
>>146880462

literally been having this same issue for the last week! took out all my mods to find this same problem. so glad to find the solution. thank you!!

Cornelius Steward

Hey Tank!! Do you know of any reason why I wouldn't be able to go into CAS, when the itsmovietime nod is in? I kept running into an issue where all of sudden I was unable to go into CAS, it would just give the forever loading screen, and when I removed all my mods to find the culprit, it was this one that was causing the issue.

Kammi

Hi Tank, I am getting Sims4Tycoon.package Invalid Tuning TANK:Sims4Tycoon_CareerEvents_Bartender_Day_1 TANK:Sims4Tycoon_CareerEvents_Bartender_Day_2

_tank_
>>151494802

Hey Kammi, there is a unusual error happening only on some pcs apparently, which im trying to figure out, so for now, pls use v1 1 4. Its something related to the active career but on my side everything works fine, both my pc and laptop, yet you and another player is having the same issue.

Realplayerxxx

Thank you for all the movies, my sims have so much to watch now. Quick question, how do I fix it so that my child and teen sims dont watch the NSFW movies?

Lady Applejacks

when i downloaded the upadated version, there was no script file. Was i suppose to keep the last one?

Dreamview
>>153977900

You need to download other modules, as this mod is now divided into a couple of parts. Please check below.

Josie

are we still waiting for cinema venue back?

Davica Chambers

Hi, is this mod not compatible with directx11?

LRBJade

Will there there be an update message letting us know when all the movies are compatible with directx11? They are one of the main reasons I really enjoy this mod.

LRBJade
>>154181594

Also I forgot to ask if the TanksMods.ts4script no longer required. update: Never mind, I found it.

Raehart

I can't seem to get my mod to work, I have all the files downloaded and it even pops up telling me how many movies i have. But there is no way for my sims to watch any movies or anything similar. Can someone help me please? Thank you

BaddiestB

love love this mod! I have an idea, could you possibly add for more like tv series but from the early 2000s? or music video channels? Getting old news channel archives from like internet archive?

BaddiestB

the thumbnails for the movies dont show up, is that normal?

_tank_
>>155437342

yes, its a compatibility problem with directX 11, but im working on making them compatible.

Josie

we need this venue available for sim dates 😟

PersonOfInterest

the ticket never goes to my inventory like it says so i cant watch movies

Jojo

Im last help! do I put both in my game the TanksMods Mod Central and ItsMovieTime_v.4.0.1.zip ??

_tank_
>>156232715

Thats right. Both, TanksMods Mod Central and ItsMovieTime 4.0.1 into Mods folder.

Tiffany

Hi! Where do I find the movies? I subscribed and the movie post is locked. Am I doing something wrong? I subed to the $4 tier

Serae Holmes

I have all the movies downloaded however the pop up in game says I have no movies

_tank_
>>157926698

Im not sure how you installed them. However, the movies need ItsMovieTime v4.0.1+ to work

Lala Gucci

where do i purchase movies not appearing on computer

chiggeuk

I have a question, do I have to re-download all the movies every time this mod gets updated?

_tank_
>>158421614

Purchasing movies is not necessary, as they will appear in the movie list straight away once installed. But please note that some of the movies are marked as premiere movies, and they are "hidden" by default (if you have CustomHolidays mod installed too with the Movie Premiere feature ON) and will create a "Watch Premiere Movie" event in the calendar once installed. And only after the respective event is over, will the movie be visible in the movie list with the rest of the other movies.

boyo

i downloaded the recent update, but there's no option to watch it movie time movies on tv, nor does it show any of the movies I downloaded as well and placed in mods folder, ( i downloaded all of them)

_tank_
>>159013448

If everything is installed correctly, you should see a TanksMods.log file in your sims 4 folder. Open it and see if there is any warning, and let me know.

Panamanian Coco

I keep getting last exceptions for this mod I have redownloaded everything all over again

Lily Macy

Missing function on computers and most tvs when SashaT1804's custom channel injector is installed :(

_tank_
>>159678973

Yes, custom channel injector code breaks other injectors and needs updating, but the modder doesnt seem to be active anymore. I wrote to her like a year ago about the issue. Anyway, i have found a way around it, and it should be available in the next update.

JoãoPauloGQ

does'nt work, the prompt does not even appear

ThatBihD

yeah i dont know why it just doesnt show up in game no more

_tank_
>>160662828

You need to install the requirements (in this case TanksMods Mod Central)]

NVEEMA

downloaded new patch and this just keeps breaking my game

Story Time

it says i need to download movies to my game in order to watch them. is there a link for me to download movies, i have all the requirements ?

brittany

Hello. But Your modded movies are not showing up in game yes I get the green notification that I had installed it right, however I am getting errors to your script your movie's script is an error to them. None of the movies will show up. Can you please help this issue immediately I have downloaded all of your movies, again your green notification shows up that I have done it right it will not show any movies in game?

_tank_
>>162799849

Did you install TanksMods Mod Central (link in the Requirements in the above post)? That needs to be installed too in order for ItsMovieTime to work. So, its ItsMovieTime, TanksMods Mod Central and a few movies. Thats all. Also, make sure that files ending with .ts4script can not go deeper than 1 folder in your Sims 4 Mods folder, while .package files can go up to 5 folders. If everything is set, you should be able to see a tanksmods.log file in your Sims 4 folder, open it and see if there is any warning/error inside (it will tell you whats missing).

Josie

i forgot. do i still need venue list or basemental? i have both (zerbu) and it doesnt appear

Unknown CLAN

i have both mods install but its not working

_tank_
>>163592071

Need more information. Version of ItsMovieTIme, version of TanksMods Mod Central, version of your game, etc. Check also tanksmods.log file in your Sims 4 folder for any warning/errors, and let me know.

_tank_
>>163040417

Sorry Josie for the late reply. No, only zerbu's, as that venue list doesnt need updating.

Yasmin Crown

I'm not able to see the latest combined collections and I have the highest membership :|

Ryleigh Lagoe

the link to TanksMods Mod Central doesn't work.

pleasure119988

does anyone know if the movies from https://simfileshare.net/folder/234074/ by Astercholik for this mod still work with version 4.1.0? it says on the folder name (only to 4.0.x up) but I don't know if since it has that up qualifier in there, and since even with the official its movie time movies they appear to say they're updated for 4.0.1+ and later. oh and does its movie time 4.1.0 work with the newest update to the sims 4? sorry for the questions, I'm getting back into the sims 4 after not playing since mid 2023, and need to redo all my mods so they're up to date.

Danada Shiverdecker

Hello Tank. I have just become a Patreon for the highest tier, yet most everything is still locked. Can you please assist me?

_tank_
>>165650014

Hi Danada. I cant see on my phone which tier you picked, but please note that sfw and nsfw tiers are separate tiers, and im guessing you chose one of the two, which are mid tiers. In order to have the content from both tiers, consider switching to full membership tier.

_tank_
>>165632044

They should work with ItsMovieTime v4.1.0 (which is compatible with the latest game update)

_tank_
>>163986126

Apologies for the late reply! I keep updating the same posts over and over, so in the case of combined movie collections, download the last part of the of the zipped files as that contains the latests released movies. I hope this helps?

Patrice M

so are the disney movies NOT IN HD? I only see the adult ones in HD. Am I doing it wrong?

_tank_
>>165940581

yes they are but they are in the SFW tier. You might switch to that tier or upgrade to get the content from both tiers.

💙Rachel 💙

are your mods compatible with the new businesses and hobbies update

Po3tic_Gmr

For some reason some of the movies are not showing on the list. The notice says I have 76 movies installed but only a few of them show under "all" when I click to watch a movie.

_tank_
>>171411818

Some of the movies are marked as premiere movies, which means they will be by default hidden and show up during the respective "Watch Premiere" event. Check with the calendar. The option can be disabled in the ItsMovieTime Settings

Ketruth

Greetings, i'm getting BE-ExceptionReport for itsmovieTime Script

dae4ever💕

Is this the newest version as of May 2025 (the last patch update)?

Ja’Maya Lester

Hi! So for the longest the movie time mod has not worked for. It doesn't pop up when I click on the TV and it doesn't show in ModCentral. How can I fix this?

_tank_
>>174319002

Just check that is installed properly and that you have the latest game update.

Bethany Mckay

hi i downloaded this and all the movies but its not showing up in my game... am i missing something ??

_tank_
>>177183600

Hi, install TanksMods Mod Central v1.2.0 too. Also, make sure scripted mods optiom is enabled in game and script files are no deeper than 1 subfolder in your Sims 4 Mods folder.

Niyelle Valeria

Hi, I'm getting a better exception with the movie mod. Can you help? :)

_tank_
>>177973413

Sure, but before that, please make sure you installed the latesr version 4.2.0 and TanksMods Mod Central v1.2.0 and not some older version, 99% of the cases that is the problem. If still having problems afterward, let me know.

Johnny Dawson

Thanks so much for this mod I've been using it all the time. It seems to be broken with the latest update though. The options no longer pop up when I click on a TV.

tammy

where do we downlod the movies from

Charlisse

This might be my favorite mod yet. So ecstatic I found it! Can't believe this mod isn't more popular!
