If your sims want more than a Love Hotel to make their trips and trysts a lot more fun, they may find one of the Hotel Hospitality mod worth rating five stars.

Hotel Hospitality Mod

In the vanilla version of The Sims 4, sims have a couple of options for staying away from their homes depending on what DLC you have. There are rentals which work sort of like a Timeshare or Airbnb situation, and they can plan stay-overs with loved ones. But what if your sim is tired of being a Guest and wants to run a Hotel on their own? With the Hotel Hospitality mod, they can make it happen!

The Hotel Hospitality mod by Wicked Pixxel allows sims to own & operate their own Hotel. To use the mod you will need to pick the sim who is going to run the Hotel and give them the Hotel Hospitality Trait in CAS. You can use the Edit Sim Cheat to give them the Trait if you’re using a sim that you’ve created previously.

You will need to create a Hotel on a Generic lot to use with the mod. You can build your own or find one from the Gallery, but be sure it has the following:

  • 8 Hotel rooms with beds
  • A Front Desk area with a Computer for accessing different Hotel functions (the mod recommends using the base game All-In-One PC for this)
  • A Kitchen for preparing meals for guests
  • Activities for your guests to do!

Once your Hotel is ready to open, there are 4 main areas of attention your sim will need to dedicate time to in order to run a successful business. The Hotel Front Desk menu and Hotel Security System menu can be accessed via computer, and the Hotel Hospitality menu and Hotel Security menu are accessed by clicking on a sim.

Hotel Front Desk

The Process Reservations option will open the Hotel for business and spawn guests to check into the Hotel. Guests will arrive and begin to interact with whatever activities you have made available to them. Selecting Start Work Shift will spawn several Hotel employees (Receptionist, Housekeeping, Security, Cook) to the lot who will perform activities relevant to their job position. Your sim can manage their employees through the Social menu and ask them to do things like cook, clean, etc. if they’re not doing them already. Be advised that the menu shows up for non-employees too, and we’re sure they don’t want to do any work while relaxing at a Hotel!

Tip: You can hire Entertainers, Mixologists, Masseuses, etc. by clicking on the relevant object(s) like you would at any other Community lot to keep your Guests entertained.

Every 24 in-game hours your sim can run the Process Payments option which will pay out a random amount up to §8,000 per day, and selecting Close The Hotel will force all visiting guests and employees to leave and close up the Hotel.

Hotel Security System

Your sim can Check Alarm Systems and Monitor Security Cameras and you will get a pop-up notification of any findings. If there is an unruly Guest at the Hotel you can involve the Police and Create Incident Report*.

*There is an optional Lot Trait called Hotel Problems that can spawn in an NPC to cause trouble around the Hotel which can be dealt with through the Hotel Security menu.

Hotel Hospitality

Your sim can socialize with their Guests to make sure they are enjoying their stay. These socials include boasting about Hotel reviews and the WiFi, hearing complaints about various issues, and asking the Guest if their room is comfortable. You can also select Send On Day Trip which will immediately send the Guest away on a rabbithole adventure for a few hours.

Hotel Security

If an unsavory sim is causing a ruckus at the Hotel, there are several options in dealing with them. Your sim can Confront Unwanted/Criminal Visitors and Threaten To Call Police, which may result in a physical fight! Your sim can also Create Incident Report on the computer as previously mentioned.

Tips For Success With The Hotel Hospitality Mod/Known Bugs

I tested this mod over two in-game days with no other mods installed however your experience will vary depending on what other mods you’re using, the computer you’re playing on, etc.

Although the Hotel Hospitality mod will make visiting sims into Guests, there is no ownership assigned to items within Hotel rooms. Sims will use bathrooms, computers, and other items in Hotel rooms whether or not it’s their Hotel room, so I suggest keeping the fun items in communal areas to make things less awkward. Sims will flock to computers—including the Front Desk Computer—so have multiple on the lot or manually lock the Front Desk Computer so it’s only usable by your sim and/or the hired Receptionist. I would also suggest creating a “suite” just for your owner sim that is locked so they can tend to their needs without Guests barging in.

For me, it took a long time for Guests and Employees to spawn the very first time—I actually selected the option(s) several times because I thought it wasn’t working. Eventually I ended up with multiples of Employees on the lot and I’m unsure if it was a delayed reaction to my choices. On the second in-game day the spawns happened almost immediately.

It seems that many of the Hotel socials are only unlocked after your sim has made an introduction to the target sim. I ran into an issue where my sim kept giving me routing errors when I tried to get them to instruct a chatty Security Officer to get back to work. The Hotel Management socials menu will show for every sim, not just Guests and Employees. I noticed that Michael Bell spawned in as a Cook but was still labeled “Creature Keeper” when I hovered over him.

After about 8 in-game hours all Guests and Employees lost their statuses and became regular sims just hanging out on the lot. I’m unsure if this is a feature or a bug, but if you want the Hotel in use for more than 8 hours your sim might need to Process Reservations and Start Work Shifts more than once per day.

Conclusion

If you enjoy the business management aspects of The Sims 4 but want something new to play with, the Hotel Hospitality mod might just be worth checking in out! Create a crummy hotel with bedbugs and poor service, or a five-star resort with pools, spas, massages, hot springs, and more. Staff it with employees or run it on your own (or with your family), hire entertainment to keep Guests happy, or have an all-out brawl with trespassers and trouble makers. Will your venue be the top of San Myshuno’s next review or 1-star dud in the footnotes? That’s up to you, and either way what matters is that you had fun doing it. Enjoy the mod, and happy simming!
