🗨️ SPEECH THERAPY — Mod For TS4

Every little voice deserves to be heard.

Some little Sims need a bit of extra help finding their words — and now they can get
it. Speech Therapy adds a real, warm, visiting speech pathologist to your game, with
proper one-on-one sessions, good days and hard days, homework, and a graduation.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✨ WHAT IT DOES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

👩‍⚕️ A REAL VISITING SPEECH PATHOLOGIST
Click any toddler or child → "Call Speech Pathologist (§75)". A dedicated speech
pathologist travels to your home, greets
you professionally, and works one-on-one with the child you called her for.

🧸 REAL THERAPY SESSIONS
For about an hour she works through a real little curriculum with your child —
Teach to Talk, animal flash cards, letter & counting flash cards, reading a toddler
picture book, and conversation practice. No wandering off to cook your dinner. She's
a professional.

📈 SKILLS THAT GROW
Toddlers build their Communication skill; children build Social. Every session
counts — even the hard ones.

🌦️ GOOD DAYS AND HARD DAYS
Most sessions end in smiles — "Found My Words!" for the child and a "Proud Caregiver" glow for parents & grandparents. But some days the sounds just won't come: a "Tough Speech Day" for the little one, a "Worried About Their Voice" moodlet for the family, and an honest report from the therapist. Hard days are part of every speech journey.

🎓 THE SPEECH JOURNEY
Progress is tracked per child and persists through saves — and even through aging up! Reports show "Session 3 of 6", there's a milestone celebration halfway, and the 6th session is GRADUATION DAY: a certificate from the therapist, a "Found Their
Voice" moodlet for your new chatterbox, and a "They Did It!" celebration for the whole family. 🥹

📚 HOMEWORK
After each visit the therapist assigns practice. Until it's done, caregivers can
click the child → "Practice Speech Sounds (Homework)" — a sweet parent-child
practice moment that builds skill AND makes the next session much more likely to go
well. Showing up matters; so does practicing.

💙 SPEECH DELAY (FULLY OPT-IN)
Want deeper storytelling? Click a child → "Note a Speech Delay". They'll sometimes
get a gentle "Hard to Find the Words" moodlet in daily life — but every therapy session makes it rarer, and graduating clears it for good. (Remove the note anytime.)

👨‍👩‍👧 FAMILY-AWARE
The proud (and worried) moodlets go to the child's parents and grandparents.

🖥️ CHEAT / CONSOLE COMMANDS (Ctrl+Shift+C)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

speech.check
Support check — confirms the script mod is loaded and the package is installed.
(If you're reporting a problem, run this first and include what it says!)

speech.calltherapist
Books the speech pathologist from the console. If your active Sim IS a
toddler/child, the session is for them; otherwise use the pie menu on the child.

speech.sessions
Shows the ACTIVE Sim's speech-journey progress (sessions, graduated, homework,
delay).

speech.sessions
Sets the ACTIVE Sim's completed-session count (e.g. "speech.sessions 5" makes
the next session Graduation Day). Handy for storytelling or testing.

📥 HOW TO INSTALL
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

1. Enable mods: Game Options → Other → Enable Custom Content and Mods + Script
   Mods, then restart the game.

2. Drop BOTH files into your Mods folder (a subfolder is fine, max one level deep):
   SpeechTherapy.package
   SpeechTherapy.ts4script

3. Load your family, click a toddler or child, and look for
   "Call Speech Pathologist (§75)". 💛

NOTES

• Base game compatible. The flash-card activities appear if you have Parenthood — without it, sessions simply use the other activities.

• Session fee is §75, charged like any service.

Happy Simming 💛
