About FlicBuster
Movie Hangout Stuff is required to watch movies. Otherwise all objects are Base Game Compatible as decor.
Our Sims have always had their entertainment at their fingertips, but with a blast from the 2000s, DVDs and your favorite blue & yellow video store are back in style!
Purchase a CasaVue DVD Player to enjoy cinema quality stereo sound, and hundreds of colors right on your own home TV! Rent your favorite flicks from FlicBuster Video Rentals through the mail, or stop by a blue Express Box out on the street. Drag and drop the discs onto your Player to get started.
The FlicBuster Mod is the perfect companion mod for Simzlink. If you don’t have a TV subscription, or you’re visiting a location out of the service area, you can bring your DVD Player with you and watch your DVDs on any TV!
