⩥【Module Introduction & How to Play】 ↴
【模組介紹&玩法】

This mod introduces a functional record label to the game, allowing players to manage music production, talent scouting, and album releases.

🔸 How to Play🔸

🔸如何遊玩🔸

1. Set the Lot Type:
   Change the lot type to "General" and place a computer, microphone, guitar, and piano/electronic keyboard on the lot.

2. Launch the Record Label:
   On your PC, select the new "Launch Label" menu to obtain the Label trait and unlock additional interactions.

3. Close the Record Label (if needed):
   If you wish to disable the record label feature, use the same menu to close it.

   Note:
   If the venue is not set as "General," the purchase interaction will not be available.

🔸 Find Music Talent (Social Menu)🔸

🔸尋找音樂人才(社交選單)🔸

You need to actively scout for new talent to grow your record label.

• Use the "Find Music Talent" interaction from the social menu when clicking on Teen Sims or older.
• Assign them to music groups of specific genres: Pop, Rock, or Rap.

Group Requirements:

• Rappers require only one Sim as their team.
• Other bands require 4 Sims.

Use the Label Menu to manage these groups. Currently, you cannot view the group members directly, so you'll need to take manual notes.

🔸 Music Lawyer (Computer Menu)🔸

🔸音樂律師（電腦選單）🔸

Hire a music lawyer through the "Record Label" menu on your computer.

1. The hiring cost is 2,000 yuan.
2. Build a high friendship level with the lawyer until they become your friend.
3. Once friendly, select "Complete Record Deal" when interacting with the lawyer.

Through this contract, you can invite musical talent and offer them a record deal.

Note:
You must first complete the record deal through the lawyer, then provide the contract to the artist.

🔸 Record Contract🔸

🔸唱片合約🔸

There are two ways to create albums:

1. Studio Recording (Live Performance):

   • In a studio equipped with a guitar, microphone, and keyboard/piano, ask signed musicians to sing, rap, or play their instruments.
   • Use the "Recording Studio" menu to manage these interactions.
   • To end a session, select "Ask to Leave Studio." Tracks they recorded will then be added to your collection.

2. Record Session (Computer):

   • Use the "Record Session" menu on your computer to create tracks.

Album Requirements:

• It takes 8 tracks to create a full album.
• Distribute tracks or albums to earn income using the Music Distribution menu.

Legal Support:

• Use the "Music Lawyer" menu for Copyright Services to protect your albums or file lawsuits against music theft.

🔸 Running a Record Company🔸

🔸如何經營唱片公司🔸

Use the "Talent Management" menu when interacting with Sims to access various management interactions.

To meet with your artists, invite them to meetings via your computer.

🔸 Record an Album🔸

🔸錄製專輯🔸

1. Build tracks through the recording session. It takes 8 tracks to complete an album.
2. While artists are not required, you can enhance realism by including singing, guitar, or keyboard performances.

Editing Albums:

• Use the "Create Top Albums" interaction to edit your albums and potentially produce hit records.
• Once editing is complete, select "End Album Editing Session."

This will finalize the album and send it to your Sim's inventory.

After obtaining the digital album, you can choose from several options to distribute it: upload the album to music streaming services, license it, or sell it directly to fans. Each method generates a random amount of revenue, which may result in either a profit or a loss. Note that digital albums will disappear once they are sold.

⩥【Troubleshooting Issues: Game or Module Not Running Normally】 ↴
【模組下載後無法正常遊戲、模組沒有正常運行或在遊戲運行時出現任何問題】

1. Confirm the installation path:
   Ensure that the installation path is correct. If you have any questions about module installation, refer to the installation tutorial video.

2. Delete old files before installing new ones:
   Always delete the old version of the file before installing the new one. Do not overwrite files during installation. If this is your first time installing the module, you can ignore this step.

3. Regularly delete cache files:
   Locate and delete the cache file at The Sims 4/localthumbcache.package.

   1. Script file placement:
      If the module includes a script file (.ts4script), ensure that the script file is not placed more than one folder deep. Example: Mods > Custom folder > ts4script.

4. ❞ If the issue persists after following the above steps:
   Temporarily remove all other mods from the Mods folder,

   leaving only the problematic module and any custom mods required for its functionality. Before launching the game, make sure to delete the cache file again, then test the module with a new save file.

   ↪ If the problem is resolved:
   This indicates a conflict with one of the removed mods. Use the 50/50 troubleshooting method to identify the conflicting mod. (Refer to the video guide on resolving mod conflicts.)

   ↪ If the problem persists:
   Ensure that your game version, module file, and Chinese translation file are up to date. Verify that all necessary components listed under [Required DLC & Custom Mods] and [Other Mod Conflicts & Compatibility] are properly installed.

   ⩥【How to Resolve Chinese Display Issues】 ↴
   【漢化顯示問題的處理方式】

   ❞ If the Chinese version appears blank or is not displayed:

   • Confirm whether the installation path is correct and not too deeply nested (e.g., Mods > Custom Folder > Chinese Version File).
   • Delete the "!" at the beginning of the Chinese version file name (only delete the "!" symbol).
   • For MAC users, replace the "!" at the beginning of the file name with "1" or "A".

   ❞ Simplified Chinese Language Support:

   • Simplified Chinese does not require a separate patch but is only supported in games set to Simplified Chinese.
   • If your game is set to Traditional Chinese, the Simplified Chinese version may not display correctly.
   • For players with the game set to Simplified Chinese, if the text appears blank, please leave a message to report the issue.
