- Not to be confused with Hang Out, Supernatural hangout, or Rebel hangout.
| Hangout | |
|---|---|
 The Red Rendezvous, a premade hangout. |
The Hangout is a lot assignment introduced with The Sims 3: Ambitions, and later added to The Sims 3 base game in a patch update, most likely Patch 18.[1]
Hangouts look like a bar or pub. They generate a blue map tag featuring a cafe table. Hangouts always have juice bars in them, but adding a barbecue or a food register[TS3:WA] allows them to serve food as well. Beds can be added to create a tavern.
Sims with the party animal, excitable, or childish traits are attracted to hangouts, while Sims with the loner trait are repulsed by it. Hangouts are also attractive to Sims with a high charisma skill.[2]
Lot compatibility[]
As of patch 36, if you add the required Showtime objects[TS3: ST] in a hangout, it will be able to host live show type gigs without requiring to change the lot assignment, allowing it to function as both lot types. It will however not be able to host SimFests.

Luminous Bar[]

| Address | 36 Beach Drive |
| Type | Community lot
|
| Unfurnished lot value | §98,019 |

| Neighborhood | Beach Drive |
| World | Roaring Heights |
| Game | Roaring Heights |
- 2 juice bars.
- 1 coffeemaker.
- A stage on the 3rd floor.
