kids interaction pack + homework override
this mod adds four new interactions between a child and an adult, featuring custom animations blended from various in-game clips.
base game compatible
requires the xml injectorupd. march 20, 2026:
- “go over schoolwork” now also completes homework and extra credit;
- “complain about feeling bad” now appears if the child has at least one uncomfortable buff;
- “beg for a day off school” now appears if the child has at least one negative buff or the buff from “complain about feeling bad”;
- repeating the interaction is now restricted until its buff expires.
1. go over schoolwork / ask to go over schoolwork
actors: both child and adult
category: friendly interactions
requirements:
- the actor must be sitting on a couch! (similar to the “cuddle” interaction)
- the adult must be a family member or a good friend of the child
effects:
- improves school performance
- increases parenting skill for the adult
- increases the child’s mental and social skills
- increases responsibility for the child

2. check homework / get help checking homework
actor: both child and adult
category: friendly interactions
requirements:
- the child must have 100% completed their homework

3. complain about feeling bad
actor: child only
category: complaints under friendly interactions

- only if the child is uncomfortable or has illness-related buffs from get to work
- the adult must be a family member or a good friend of the child
effects:
- slightly boosts all of the child’s needs
- if the child has an illness buff from get to work, the interaction works similarly to taking medicine

4. beg for a day off school
actor: child only
category: complaints under friendly interactions

known issue:
the "go over schoolwork" interaction may glitch slightly when starting or exiting. unfortunately, it's based on the "cuddle" interaction, which has built-in issues i haven’t been able to fix :(

the mod has two download options:
v1: the first version uses the default ea homework design;
v2: the second version uses books with my custom homework texture (you can also download the homework override separately). i took the university notebook texture, modified it, and added some fun stickers.
please read the description before downloading, each interaction has its own unique conditions for appearing!

Awesome, doing h.w. n checking ♥ Thank you
I can't find the compatible/ conflict information in the description
I don't know if it's another school mod or homework mod or this mod, but my sim's son won't do his homework; he'll take it out, put it on the table, do it for a few seconds, and then put it away
omg 😍

Thank you so much for your mods omg! Can i use v1 with other homework overrrides?
unfortunately, it wont work with other overrides(
This is such a good idea. Most definitely adding to my game tomorrow
🥰❤️
ur mods are so amazing i wanna cry
💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
Hi Simkatu. Do i download one of the versions i prefer (v1 or v2), and the overrride gradeschool homework? Thanks!
i think pick which one u prefer
I love your mods, so thank you so much for taking the time for other simmers; it really means a lot, especially with what's going on with EA. you are my motivating savior for my legacy challenges <3 (prettyy pls do this with the teens and college sims even if it takes three years literally ill still invest)
thank you so much for the sweet comment! i will think about doing something like this with teens and college sims!
Hii. We need to download one of the versions 1 or 2 and also the other file override gradeschool?
yes! please install only one version, version 1 or version 2. the gradeschool homework override is needed only if you use version 2 with custom homework
you considered making a override for teens and university homework too? I loved so much this one
that would be great! i’d love to make it one day
Does this mod work with adeepindigos education overhaul? I wasn't sure if it would conflict with the homework. Thank you in advance and sorry if this has been asked before. :)
no, there is no conflicts 💗 thank you!

Hello ❤️ I've translated this mod into Ukrainian: https://www.patreon.com/posts/ukrayinskii-modu-129861955
i’m really grateful you took the time to make this — thank you! 🥺❤️
I play mostly families, so this is wonderful - thank you!
happy you like it! 🥰
is this also autonomous?
no, these interactions aren’t autonomous
Can parents check their teenager homework as well or is it just kids? Thanks.
this interaction is only available for children!
Hi! I made a Spanish translation for this mod. https://www.patreon.com/posts/kids-interaction-129228835
thank you so much!!
What does the xml injector mod do exactly?
it allows my custom interactions to appear in the game — without it, they wouldn’t show up
what should I download if I already have a homework override?
unfortunately, the mod only works with either the default ea homework or my custom version, there are just these two options for now :(
thank you for this amazing mod!!!!
i'm really glad to hear that!! 💛

Hey new to cc do you guys have good mod recommendations? i would like to use simkatu beacuse i have heard lots of great things, but i'm learning and understanding how mods work and want to understand a safe way of using mods. thank you guys
i'd suggest starting with youtube! there are lots of great videos showing how to use mods safely and recommending some good ones too. you can just search "sims 4 mods" and you'll find tons of helpful stuff! i personally like @largetaytertots and @aashwarrplays, they both make really useful videos 🤍 i’d also recommend checking out some tutorials about organizing your mods folder! it'll make it much easier to update them later and avoid conflicts.
I can't wait to try this mod! Children are very boring in the game, this will give me new interactions for them, thanks so much!
thank you so much, that means a lot 💛
Привет! Перевод на русский язык к моду можно скачать по данной ссылке: https://boosty.to/pumpkin4u/posts/df34511f-1e60-4691-a783-88be88ea86bc?share=post_link Simkatu thanks a HUGE thanks for such a cool mod! Will you develop it in the future based on character relationships? When the outcome depends on the dynamics of the relationship support/strictness etc.?
thank you so much for your work!! 💓 i’ll think about it! it would be so cool to make the interactions more connected to gameplay, but for now i only had the energy to focus on simple standalone versions
You never cease to amaze and enthrall me.
i’m so happy to hear that 🥰🥰🥰
