Hangout

The Hangout is a lot assignment introduced with The Sims 3: Ambitions, and also available in The Sims 3: Late Night and the downloadable world Hidden Springs.

Hangouts look like a bar or pub. They generate a blue map tag featuring a cafe table. Hangouts always have juice bars in them, but adding a barbeque or a food register allows them to serve food as well. Beds can be added to create a tavern.

Sims with the Party Animal trait are attracted to hangouts, and Sims with the Loner trait avoid hangouts. It may also attract Sims with the Excitable or Childish (The Sims 3) trait, as well those who have some charisma skill.

Lot compability
As of patch 36, if you add the required Showtime objects in a hangout, it will be able to host live show type gigs without requiring to change the lot assignment, allowing it to function as both lot types.
