What's new:

Channel Rating System

What does it do:
It allows you to assign personal watch preferences for each ingame TV channels (both basic and porn).
Channels can be Liked (x5 watch probability), Disliked (x0.2 watch probability) or Disabled.

Where to find it:
Currently active watched channels can be rated from the top of the TV's pie menu by using the "Rate this Channel..." option + there's an in depth picker also available on the second page of the TV's pie menu, called "Set Channel Ratings"; this will let you assign several ratings at one go.

Some notes:

  • Channel ratings are done on an individual, per sim basis.

  • Liking channels does not mean that the sim will auto choose them every single time, it just means that they will be more likely to choose Liked channels on average.

Cheats: Shift click Sim > Assign Baseline TV Channel Ratings > Here you can assign likes/dislikes based on some pre made profiles, or can reset all to default.

Cable Box object

New CineSAT cable boxes have been added. Basically they work just like the satellite dish, they're just an alternative way to unlocking all channels for every TV in the household in case you don't want to use the satellite dish.

Can be bought while initially unlocking the channels on a TV, or from BuildBuy > search for: cinesat

I'd be really grateful for any feedback - especially if you found any bugs -, so please don't hesitate to share it with me in the comments below - or if you're shy, you can just send me a direct message :D

Thanks for your time,
take care, p.

The new cable boxes are a nice useful addition for apartments.

Got an idea...how about a shopping channel? The porn version of QVC, that is...

Hmmm... Not bad, but it probably does not have the depth to warrant a whole new separate channel... but it could be something timed, like in the real world where some cable channels fill the "worthless" late morning/midday timeslots with TV shopping ads, I can see that could work.

Thanks for the update!
