1.) No Auto Perform by Cyjon

Sims will no longer perform with instruments or join performances autonomously.

2.) No Formal Piano by Cyjon

Sims no longer change to formalwear when playing the piano or violin in The Zone.

3.) Practice Perform Changes by Cyjon

Sims are smarter when using musical instruments and deciding between Practice and Perform. Sims follow roughly the following logic, in order of priority:
– If another sim is Performing, other sims will join the band and Perform as well.
– Sims who need Creativity for promotions will Practice
– Sims with maxed out Creativity will Perform
– Sims who meet none of the above criteria can select either mode

4.) Music autonomy overhaul by Gummilutt

This is an overhaul of the autonomy coding for all music instruments. There are many mods to stop Sims autonomously using them, but I don’t want to stop all Sims from using them, I just want to stop some of them. It is a global mod, and comes in two versions. The mod only affect autonomous behavior, you can still direct them to use instruments if you want to.

The mod has two parts, a package containing the global mod and an object in the shape of a small card. The card costs 0 simoleons, and can be found under misc/misc.

– Stop visitors from using instruments autonomously on residential lots
– Only allow Sims with 5 or higher creativity to autonomously perform or practice on community lots
– Let Sims pledge membership to the FUMLITT. Any Sim carrying the membership card in their inventory will refrain from using instruments autonomously, regardless of where they are.

This way, only Sims that are actually good at playing will do so in public, and visitors won’t take liberties with your Sims instruments. With the card you can fine-tune this to further ban specific Sims when you feel the generic rules aren’t enough. For example, you can give the card to the parents of your violin-playing kid so that only the child uses the violin, or to the partner of your musician to keep them from occupying the instruments or harming them with their inexperienced fingers.

5.) Microphone For Visitors + Ownership And Autonomy Settings by Lamare
