Line 178:
The base game included three bars, ranging in price from §600 to §1000. ''[[The Sims 2: University|University]]'' introduced an "island bar", and more of these were included in later expansion and stuff packs. Most "island bars" are designed to match a type of island-style counter, and will mesh with that matching counter.<ref>The tiki-style "island bar" included with ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons|Seasons]]'' does not mesh with the matching counter, but the tiki-style counters do not mesh except at corners. ''[[The Sims 2: Bon Voyage|Bon Voyage]]'', ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime|FreeTime]]'', and ''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life|Apartment Life]]'' include "island bars", but not matching counters.</ref> However, an "island bar" can be extended by any type of island-style counter. If stools are placed at these counters, Sims can and will sit at the bar to drink their drinks. However, other Sims on the lot may be aware that a drink has been made, even if they are not in the room. If that happens, one of those Sims may have an autonomous "Have a Drink" reaction ''before'' the Sim who ordered the drink begins to drink it, effectively stealing the drink.
''University'' also added a second type of NPC, a bartender, to staff bars placed on community lots. With ''[[Open for Business]]'' installed, a bar on an owned community lot can be staffed by an [[Employees|employee]] or by a member of the owner's household. Bars on unowned lots still get an NPC bartender.<ref>The three base game bars lack features such as spawning an NPC bartender on community lots and the ability to assign employees as bartenders. [http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=284916 Lord Darcy's mod] from ModTheSims fixed this. Note that this mod requires OFB or later, or any stuff pack other than ''Happy Holiday Stuff''</ref>
There is a bug in ''Open for Business'' known as canceling the action of a playable sim to tend the bar when another sim is interacting with the bartender. There is a fix in it in mod. <ref>However, http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=511539 provides a fix for this issued bug</ref>
