But you can play a guitar without a club, so there shouldn't be such restrictions on any of the other instruments.
Quite true, and sims can use the mixology skill on a bar at home. That's what I meant by referring to "officially-sanctioned" venues, that if none of those lots are present in the neighborhood, perhaps the game does some cleaning up on import even though sims could in fact use those skills elsewhere.
Given that you can take classes and learn the drum, piano and bass skills at the theatre, it wouldn't make sense that you would need another "officially-sanctioned" venue to learn, keep or use the skill set.
It sounds more like a bork/glitch introduced by EAxis, rather than anything else. Given that moving sims between neighbourhoods like that isn't always considered good, or safe, due to the potential for corruption of a sim's data, it seems more likely to be an EAxis glitch than anything else, such as missing venues. Usually the simplest reason is the best or right option, don't over think the problem, afterall, it is EAxis we're talking about.

True enough. I was sufficiently curious that I just tried it myself. Moved a family into a brand new Sunset Valley and all three sims kept their drum, piano, and bass skills. This was the current style Sunset Valley that has the Ambitions buildings added to it, but I doubt that makes a difference.
So Nutboii, there must be some other glitch that caused your sims' problems. For the record, I'm not using AM, only mods are the NRaas MasterController, OverWatch, and Decensor plus some of my own.

Yeah, I was afraid it was something else. The neighborhood they moved into was Sunset Valley with no LN buildings, straight from scratch. I'm using AM, Nraas Woohooer, and probably too many other mods. When I'm less lazy (and more moved into my new place with some time on my hands), I'll narrow it down to the culprit. Thanks for testing though!

Could sheer NPC count be bogging down Bridgeport?
My bridgeport apparently houses 179 sims. Sunset Valley has 70, Twinbrook has 75. I've never had a town with over 90.
Awesomemod lets you limit the population cap, but that means that a TON of space is dedicated to NPCs, and the rest of the town is a complete ghost town.
Edit: I used aweconf to limit the population to 75. I then used SpawnMoreOverlords on an empty world. The game is running much faster, but like I though, NPCs are included in the population count and no longer spawn- no bartenders, no bouncers. But the game IS doing much better capped at 75...

Late Night Schmate Night, I spend a lot of time trying to figure out what's wrong with this game. Some days, more time trying to fix it than playing. Recently reinstalled the Sims 3, all exp packs and stuff packs in the order they were put out by EA. I figured maybe I had done something wrong by installing them in the wrong order, but now my game is more borked than before. It's an EA glitch that makes the game hang at 8 am. But if it hangs at 8 am on a Sunday and you skip past the time that paychecks are handed out for writing novels, then you miss out on your paycheck. Same thing on Mondays if the game hangs and you skip past the time that you you can collect money on purchased properties. After I installed all the stuff, new install!!!!, my Sims could no longer get jobs for Architect or Stylist. I'm screaming bad words at EA for this effed up s**t. Today someone at a party at my Sims house got stuck on an elevator and all the party guests stood at the door for days. My household could not use the elevator. I teleported them around, but using 'resetsim Mimi Amour' (the sim stuck on the elevator) did no good whatsoever, and, yes, I spelled her name right. In Build Mode I could not delete the elevator with her on it, not even with "moveobjects on". I could however put the elevator in the middle of the lawn and replace the unit in the house with a new elevator unit. That's what I did. My sims now have a lovely elevator in the middle of their lawn containing one of their dearest friends.
