Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? current
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? current. updates through Origin
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Put a Tv in a business location with a dj booth .. no Telesplosion. Put a t.v in a home location with a dj booth .... Telesplosion avail.
What happens when the bug occurs? Nothing
What do you expect to see? All the T.V's in the nightclub come on
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No
I've searched for this but can't seem to find a post. Telesplosion will work at a sims home but will not work at any business lot for any expansion. Sim is level 10. Tv's are close to dj booth. The DJ booth is the best one available. All options come up greyed out to upgrade the booth saying all upgrades have been performed. Even if you delete it and put a new one in.
When you go to the option where Telesplosion is supposed to be, the only options are fog and laser. No Telesplosion.

@zoiee2020 Seems like the actual issue is that the upgrade is missing to do at business venues. You need to have the Wireless Display Override which is not available to do on business venues.
Could you please enter your game version ?
Here's instructions: https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2018/07/how-to-find-your-game-version-number/

After further looking it appears you are correct. Wireless Display Override is not available as an option at business venues. Was this intended or a bug?
It feels like a bug or short sighted game development to me, I mean ... Who holds a concert in their house?
After looking through some other forums, it seems people have has success using T.v's at business but do not explain how.

Oh wow. So sorry, I thought I posted the work around for this a long time ago. Just realizing now that I haven't.
Unfortunately, you need the Xpac Dine out to make this work.
Take the venue you want Telesplosion to work in and change it to a restaurant.
Toss the basics on the lot to satisfy the requirements. Placement doesn't matter, you can put everything on the roof if you want.
When your done, save the lot and go to your played sim.
Have your played sim purchase the restaurant, then visit the lot.
Don't worry about setting uniforms or any of that stuff. Just go to the DJ booth and click to upgrade.
Voila .... option to install wireless display override now comes up.
When your done the upgrade to the DJ booth, sell the restaurant.
Go back to manage worlds, click the restaurant in build mode and set venue type back to whatever it was intended. (bar, nightclub, ect)
Delete the restaurant equipment. Save lot.
Visit the lot with your played sim and enjoy Telesplosion. Click the DJ booth, open control panel, enable telesplosion!
@FinalBossNyuma See work around above : )
