- 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)
-----------------------------------------------------
As per request, here is a Global Hack that prevents the game to show any "visual effects" (flying notes and sound waves) when a stereo is turned on.

The stereos affected by this hack are the following (updated list):
- Base Game:
- Cheap stereo
- Moderate stereo
- Expensive stereo
- Wall-mounted speaker (residential)

- Community Speakers x 6 (Bluegrass, Jazz, Metal, Rap, Salsa, Techno)

- Nightlife:

- Community Speakers x 4 (Big Band, Reggae, Surf Punk, World Music)
- Free Time:

Game Requirements
The hack can be installed in any game, including FreeTime; of course, it will affect only the stereos that are normally available in your game (if you don't have Nightlife, don't expect to find a Karaoke machine in your catalog
