Default Using inventory on community lots
Hey guys . Is there any way to enable inventory use on a community lot? I thought it would be cool if I (my sim) could carry around a laptop or something, and use it at like a cafe' / coffee shop or something.

If it ain't broken don't fix it.
If it is broken, find me some duct tape

Only if you have OFB and your sim owns the community lot. There might be hack, but if there is one it would most likely require game code that came with OFB.

You want this, if you are not averse to hacks:

The latest update, which I can confirm works fine through FreeTime, is on the last page of the comments. I don't know if it works if you have Apartment Life...because I don't have Apartment Life.

I'm mostly found on (and mostly upload to) Tumblr these days because, alas, there are only 24 hours in a day.

You're welcome.

It's a fun hack that allows for some fun stuff. Like, I have my violinist tote his violin downtown to busk on street corners for a living. It's kind of fun. I know I could have him play a piano at one of the lots that has one, too...but that just doesn't seem right. Just because you can play a violin like a madman doesn't mean that you can play a piano, too. Doing stuff like this works especially well when used in conjunction with theCommunity Time hack. They can truly busk as a "job" then and don't have to live the time they spend on the community lot over again.

I suggest a hack , better than having just an OFB expansion ..coz even if you have OFB you wont be able to unlock your Sim's inventory..you can only use things in your inventory when youve purchased that community lot... and you totally need a hack for it... coz I myself not using a hack..just plain things for my sims and thats what I found out...hope this helps

Is there currently a version of this mod that's compatible with the Ultimate Collection? Does the version of Post #48 in that thread also works for other players? https://modthesims.info/download.ph...600#post1867600

@Softlism -I've got the version in your link which is for BV and am currently using it in UC and it's working for me as buy mode is enabled whenever I visit an unowned community lot in my BACC game.

Agree with TadOlson--I even posted on the thread last year that it works with all EPs.

Unless you see other simmers specifically mention that something doesn't work with UC, you can assume that an AL/MG version, or something that works with all EPs is compatible with UC--or, at the very least is safe to try. TS2 mods don't go by patch or anything, just latest EP, or occasionally SP.

Fun fact, though; UC isn't actually the most updated version, the TS2 Store Edition is, but for some reason EA forgot to include it in the UC. So yeah, don't think that the UC is like, too new/updated for anything. Usually when I see simmers having trouble and needing a UC specific version it's with a simming related program (like HCDU, SimPE, Scriptorium, etc.) not recognizing the install location. For regular mods, you probably shouldn't worry about needing a UC specific version.

Yes, that's the one, It works from OFB and above. Doesn't matter if that's disk, Origin or a download.

I only had an issue once where I'd forgotten to add something to my community lot and only noticed wheil my sims were visting it and had to send them home to save the home and exit to edit the town so I could fix that issue by entering the lot in buy mode.That's one issue to watch out for though it enables buying objects for a home or buying extras in edit mode on the community lot so families can "buy" them to take them home.
