Is it normal to have empty TV interaction options with this installed? I have one on the main TV menu and two under "watch channel".

Same here-- I installed this mod as the only one to affect TVs, but half the menu interactions are blank.

Yeah, like I said in my description, I wasn't able to fix that.

My apologies...I just separated all the channels that came in the add ons out and uploaded it all again (I really didn't think that was going to be a problem...or maybe I just hoped a lot). Try re-downloading with just the ones you have installed and see if that helps.

Thanks for the new files, much appreciated. I had the blanks on the tv menus (don't have all packs) but decided I could live with it so long as they sat down again. And they did :-D

I am so glad that I came across this mod. So I understand that most of these files are tv channels and movies and one of them is watching the game void critters. However, I do not understand what the "watch black and white" is for the vintage glamour stuff. Is it not a tv show or movie? What interaction is this?

The Void Critters is actually a TV channel too called BEtween; don't know why it's called that, but it's sort of an anime cartoon channel featuring the void critters. The black and white is a channel called Classic TV or something like that...it's black and white and has sim's shows that look like a cross between Mr Ed and Leave it to Beaver. The names in the xml files are totally different than the actual channel names, but they ARE TV channels.

Ahhhh thanks so much for this mod! It was so annoying that they would just stand around watching tv. I always thought I didn't have my seating close enough or in the right place

Thanks for the update, I redownloaded for only the packs I have and it fixed the blank menu options.

Thanks for letting me know it worked; it was really hard to tell without feedback.

If we have all the packs, we need all the files?

Yep, or they'll choose to stand while watching the one channel you didn't download.

Thanks for making this, and also making the update to make the packs separate. I don't have Kids Stuff (yet) so got the weird empty channel, and once I have Kids Stuff I'll grab that pack

Wow, it seems EA's policy is like the governments': If it ain't broke, fix it until it is!
