- it might be unknowingly included in your uploaded lots (so, use the Clean Installer to remove unwanted hacks from your lots before uploading them);
- it will be copied in any stereo you clone with SimPE, if you have included the Downloads folder in the File Table (so, uncheck the Downloads if you want a "clean" clone).
-----------------------------------------------------
UPD 02 SEPT 2007 - Added DJ Booth (Nightlife)
-----------------------------------------------------

- Base Game:
- Cheap stereo
