Lounge

Lounges are a group of of similar lot assignments introduced in The Sims 3: Late Night. These venues attract celebrities and serve drinks provided by the Mixology skill.

Lounges are represented by martini glass map tags. These are the highest class of juice-selling venue but also the most exclusive. Every premade lounge in Bridgeport has a bouncer, and the price of food and drink is notably expensive. Each type of lounge offers an exclusive preset selection of Mixology drinks.

Lounges open at 2 PM and close at 2 AM the next day, making them the first juice-selling venues to shut their doors at night. All lounges feature stages for bands to play on at gigs.

Fusion Lounge
Busiest days: Friday and Saturday.

A maximum of three celebrities will visit this lot at any one time. Party Animals and Excitable and Dramatic Sims like Fusion Lounges, while Bookworms, Cowards, Loners or Shy and Neurotic Sims will not autonomously visit here.

Fusion lounges encourage Sims to work on their Charisma and Martial Arts skills.

Vampire Lounge
Busiest days: Friday and Saturday.

Vampire lounges attract Vampires, but also Sims with a wide range of traits: Virtuoso, Dramatic, Evil, Flirty, Snob, Loner, Artistic, and Hopeless Romantic. One the other hand, Slobs, Cowards, Couch Potatos, and Neurotic Sims avoid visiting Vampire Lounges.

Vampire Lounges encourage Sims to work on their Charisma skills.

Exclusive Lounge
Busiest days: Friday and Saturday.

Exclusive Lounges also attract Sims with a wide range of traits: Star Quality, Snobs, Schmoozers, Dramatic, Charismatic, and Ambitious. They deter Sims who are: Evil, Frugal, Loners, Neurotic, Over-Emotional, or Slobs. They also attract Sims involved in the Film career.

Exclusive Lounges encourage Sims to work on their Charisma skills.

Banzai Lounge
Human and vampire celebrities or anyone willing to pay a small bribe are allowed in the common area of the Japanese-themed Banzai Lounge, which features a dance area and tables for shuffleboard and foosball. Human Sims with at least 3-stars of celebrity status (or §100 to spare) are allowed into the VIP backroom, where the arcade and bubble bar are held.

Plasma 501
Plasma 501 is a dark lounge with disturbingly red decor. Vampires are welcome at this lounge just as humans are, so long as they're at least a little noteworthy or can give the bouncer a moderate bribe. Along with a small dance area in front of the stage, the lounge features a chess set on the gallery, a telescope on the balcony, and the urn of an anonymous Sim in the main room. In the basement of the lounge is a crypt containing two coffins, as well as a staircase leading to an alley behind the building where Lotta Greaves is buried.

The Prosper Room
As can be expected from any exclusive lounge, The Prosper Room is the hardest venue to get into, requiring a hefty bribe just to enter the main room. The common room is open to Sims as lowly as 2 star celebrities, but only contains a small dance area for entertainment. 5 and even 4 star celebrities are allowed access to the exclusive second story, where they can enjoy a bubble bar, a hot tub, and a wall-mounted television. No amount of money will grant lesser Sims entry to this fabled place unless they own the venue.
