Can't change TV channels
That's the issue I'm having. I turn on the TV (old timey tele to be specific), and when I click on it, there's no option to change the channel. The other options are still there. Is there a way I could fix this? I have these DLCs: Ambitions, Generations, Pets, Seasons, Supernatural. And I have these mods: ani's Dexter the bear and no fridge shopping, sleepy-genius' taxi charge, icarusallsorts' transmogrifier, nraas' master controller, mc integration, overwatch, go here and portrait panel.

It's been awhile since I've ran into this issue, but if I remember correctly, not being able to change channel is due to the TV itself. The Old-Timey TV doesn't have that many channels available to it; other TVs will have more channels.

I tried other TVs as well, but I can't change the channels on them either. Also, if I recall correctly the old timey tele had more than one channels.

Yup, if I've been away from the game for a while I sometimes forget this, too.
