Title: Week end shows fix
Post by: Kaliban on 2009 August 05, 17:33:14
Please note that this unawesome XML fix has not been tested with AM, nor with the last patch. It may be already corrected (or not working) with any of them.

While reading XML files I discovered that the shows at the theater should work as follow:

- from Monday to Thursday, one evening show, Movie only
- Friday : one evening show, may be a Movie, a Play, a Concert or a Symphony
- Saturday, Sunday : a matinee (Movie only), an evening show (Movie, Play, Concert or Symphony)

In my game, there never was a show on Saturday/Sunday evening, only a matinee - making the "see Symphony" wishes useless.

Problem was that Matinee shows ended at 17:00, just at the time the evening one should have began - making the second show impossible.

This childishly simple xml mod has the matinee show begin at 10:00, leaving room for the evening one, and changes nothing else.

Simply put : on Saturdays and Sundays, you'll have two shows at the theater : a Movie one beginning at 10:00, and eiher a Movie, a Concert, a Play or a Symphony at 17:00

Thanks Kaliban - good find - It seems like my game has that same problem - I never paid too much attention though.  I'll put this in my game and test it out.

My sim wants to take his family to see symphony but...no show.
I scratched my head for a long time till your thread.
Thanks so much.

It seems I uploaded the wrong file - if it doesn't work, please download again.
Some reports suggest that it may only work with new games, not with existing ones.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks Kaliban for this fix - I did try it and it only works with new games.  No big deal though.  Will come in handy if I ever start my neighborhoods over.
