Tester Wanted: Always turn off CAR stereo *and light* when getting out
Nightlife Required - Compatible with any additional EP up to BV
As per request (by our beloved "Administratrix" Daysies
), I've created a global hack that will force the sims to turn off the radio (and An obvious side effect of the hack is that the driver can't dance to the car stereo music: if he attempts to get out of the car, the music will stop...
All the other family members and visitors, on the contrary, can dance as much as they want around the car

An unwanted side effect is that if you shoo a passenger from your car, the stereo will turn off as soon as the passenger gets out of the car
(but why you should the passenger, if you don't want to get out yourself?)
GAME COMPATIBILITY
This mod requires Nightlife: it affects the ownable cars, and therefore it can't work without the Nightlife. Any other EP up to BV, in addition to NL, is compatible with this mod.
Though the various EP manage the "Get Out" interaction in a different way, my mod checks your EP's and act accordingly: therefore, there is only one verson for all gamers.
This mod is IN TESTING
Please test this hack for me and report any problems you might find:
the code of the "Get Out" interaction is not particularly hard to understand, but managing 6 different EPs into the same mod is somehow difficult
