Now that we have a bingo default that makes its appearance more usable, I thought it would be nice to have the game function properly too 🙃
The main issue with the unmodded version of this object is:
1) it fills your sim's whole fun bar within an in-game hour
2) sims quit the game after reaching max fun
This basically means that full games never occur. Sims appear indecisive about using the object too as they still might join playing when their fun bar is close to max, only to quit almost instantly.
This mod fixes these problems and improves various other aspects of the Myshuno game:
Players don't need to sit facing the bingo console anymore*
The fun gain from playing the game is greatly lower, elders still gain more fun from playing but the increase is moderate
Sims will only quit mid-game for a pressing reason (usually due to other motives dropping or the interaction being canceled)
Players sitting in dining booths no longer cause errors
Players sitting on dining chairs next to tables no longer stop the game from progressing
The advertising of all interactions is lower
The 'practice' interaction is not autonomous anymore
The caller winning anim is revamped so that it doesn't clip with dresses and works better with PF's default
*Sims use a new custom routing for finding a place to play. Playing is possible from chairs, barstools, armchairs, sofas, and dining booths located in the same room as the bingo console and within 10 tiles from it. Sims will choose a free seat close to the console unless their personality is on the shyer end, in which case they look for free seats far away from the console. Sims will stand if no seating is available.

The file is compressed. Free Time is required as the object gives gaming enthusiasm.
🚨 This mod doesn't work with Myshuno replacements that include custom BHAVs for it. PF's default (obviously) is compatible.
The preview is by @pforestsims. Thank you for testing, too! Honorable mention to MogHughson whose TV routing code helped me to figure out how to make my own.
