Continued work on Hotel Hospitality v4 and Sexy Gigs v16.
I'll have 2-3 mods release Friday or Saturday. Functional Blood Banks and Functional Nail Salons. Someone suggested functional Lash Bars, I'll look into this idea as well.
I'm also still looking into a fix for CAS traits being removed for some players and Social Events not ending. I'm going to completely restructure the social events and rewards to see if that ensures they work for everyone.
I'll also update Nightclub Madness with release on Saturday. Fixing camera movement when npcs spawn. Should be an improved experience. If there's something else for this mod you'd like please let me know.

Updating the traits did not fix the missing trait issue. Still searching for the cause. This issue happens to a few players and causes missing interactions.
Hotel Hospitality Mod v4 - I ended up adding even more gameplay and features with the ability to add a functional gift shop in the hotel and hire gift shop retail employees. The hotels and resorts are ownable and a Hotel Ratings Skill, and Resort Ratings Skill. The higher the ratings skill the more your hotel or resort can offer. You can own both at the same time but that'll have to be tested.
I'm also trying to make upset and angry hotel guests with ways to improve their stay with a refund or fixing the issue. You'll be able to manage staff and give them functional tasks. I'm working on the behavior of the guests. So they participate with what you have available.
Last I'm adding functional conventions for hotels. This adds a new revenue stream, invite convention guests, and a speaker.
The added gameplay will take a little more time to complete. I'll work on this for the next few days.
Sexy Gigs v16 - I'll split time between this mod and Hotel Hospitality this week. I'm currently fixing object tunings, making sure they work properly and testing for last exceptions. From there dealing with interactions with custom animations. Once everything is fixed I'm hoping you'll enjoy the mod. Almost every gig has been updated, more stable overall, and finally able to use my own custom animations in some interactions.

This week I'm releasing 2-3 mods. I've been digging into the ownable venues tuning and making changes. The prior functional mods will have the ability to purchase venues once again. I've also put in more study into creating my own script files and using xml injector. Making sure both options are available in the future to expand all mods.
I got several reports of Traits not sticking to Sims. I think I've found the solution. I can't be sure because the mods are working on my end. However it could be that my traits are missing the human species tuning. It's basically code the specifies between a sim or cat and dogs. I'll add this to all the traits in the coming days.
If you had this issue please let me know if it's fixed when a certain mod you were using is updated.
Some have reported they don't like the way the camera moves to where npc spawns. I'm looking into removing that feature. It's something that was included in the tutorial I used to learn how to spawn npcs. I'll have to check the game files for alternatives.
Sunday And Monday
Focused on Hotel Hospitality Mod v4 - releasing very soon
Later This Week
Functional Malls and Shopping Centers - added a lot new gameplay with details coming out later this week.
Sexy Gigs Mod v16 - Ongoing testing and fixing issues, and new script file means I can add in needed Simpickers and other interactions that require injection. I'm also releasing the gameplay guides for this version early on my website.
Time permitting I'll make and release a few free small mods.
I hope everyone is doing good these days, staying healthy and safe. As always your support is greatly appreciated and hope you enjoy the mods coming out this week. :)
