JMs Stereo Hack. It prevents naughty sims from randomly turning the stereo off, turning it back on, deciding to take a nap spontaneously, being awoken by the music and pitching a fit, then turning it off again, all the while another poor sim is trying to get their groove on with their special someone.
What it does is stop them from autonomously turning it off altogether. I haven't known sims to turn it on autonomously, so it works well. If it were possible to actually cancel out of the autonomous "Turn Stereo Off" action, it wouldn't be so bad, but once a sim has decided to do so they will from whatever range they may be, regardless of how I feel about it.
Preliminary testing (ie. using the old version and playing vaguely normally) indicates that the Stereo Hack is working in terms of making the sims slightly less neurotic in their music hardware power choices. If anything weird starts happening (that isn't a result of me being a dork and messing with things in SimPE), I'll let you know.
My sims turn the streo on autonomously all the time. Strangely though, a lot of the time they do it just before they sit down at the piano.

My sims can certainly turn the stereo on autonomously as well as off. In fact chintznibbles said Quote
randomly turning the stereo off, turning it back on,
, just before saying they don't turn it on autonomously.
Most of my sims haven't discovered television, so they are more likely to turn the stereo on. I get the impression active sims with low fun are more likely to turn it on, and tired sims are more likely to turn it off.
I suspect some of my sims just turn it off to spite me though.

How about "Nowhatsthis?" Does it work? That's one of the most annoying things that JMP had fixed for me, and now that it's back, well, it's annoying! LOL
Yep it works fine no problems in my game with it

Yeah, I wasn't expecting "what skills do you have?" to cause my Sim to develop a crush. I didn't bother with any of the other questions after that.
For me, it was throwing food at another person at the table. :D Oh yeah, I get a crush when that happens fo sho.

This was originally under "buy drink for..." which was supposed to set the crush bit (like buying a drink for someone at a bar or club). I've asked the design team and we are going to change it.
I was wondering why there was a 'buy coffee for' but not a 'buy a drink for'. Look forward to that, it makes more sense.
