Parenthood - Activities For All!
So... yeah, they're fun to do, I added a bunch, you can find them under the travel menu on the phone - Travel To...
I was using another mod for this, but no one can make myself happy like myself...
These activities are meant to help with management and for all those times you don't feel like going through a loading screen. Some specific activities will help with the management of some traits just like doing those activities with the sim would (Gym for Active Sims, shopping for Materialistic, Walk for Outdoor loving... just a few of examples) some others will rise a relative skill (like going to the Spa, it will rise wellness and also give your sim one of the Spa activity buffs), decrease stress, some are to rise needs (going to see movie will increase fun, and give one of the movies buffs) just experiment with them.
Walking and Shopping have also another effect: while walking your sim increases herbalism and pick up flowers. When shopping they'll buy random stuff.
The enjoyment of the activity depends on your sim personality (bookworms will enjoy the library... foodies will NOT enjoy the fast food...)
The Coffee Bar is the only one that rises energy
NOTE: if you have Basemental Drugs, going to the bar has the chance to make your sim drunk (not straight edge, no children... but I didn't blacklist teens)
You need to send children or bring them. Sending them to the playground or other activities will ease some childhood phases and the playground specifically will also decrease fat and increase motor and social skill (and give them the Jungle Gym buff)
ADDED:
NightClub your sims have the chance to come back high on MDMA if you have BD
Karaoke (builds singing)
Comics Shop (for geeks... everyone else will not... appreciate it)
And two activities for Elders:
Birdwatching... now this one... outdoor loving sims will actually like this...
Construction Site... this is a thing in Italy... elders like to spend time observing construction sites. I don't know if the stereotype exist in other countries but here you go, this will build fun for elders and tank it for everyone else... and here is where I have been a dick: apart from rising handiness, this is the activity that more than any other increases ALL the child skills, and decreases the duration of childhood phases. Enjoy!
Beauty Salon - will make your sim confident and shiny, and encourage other sims to flirt with them
For your rich snobs:
Country Club - like the gym but exclusive, pricey, more effective and will give you fame.
Exclusive Club - like the bar but exclusive, pricey and give you fame (also has healthy food)
For your geeks, geniuses and paranoids:
UFO Convention - Ok, paranoids may of may not like this. Everyone else but those sims will be bored out of their mind.
For kids:
Magic Show!! Just... don't expect actual witches to enjoy this.

I've installed this along with the SCCO addon. The extra activities aren't showing (construction site, nightclub, birdwatching, beauty salon, etc.) Have these been removed or are they not implemented yet?
Never mind, I was the problem. The culprit was the original file was still in there from the first release (labeled differently). Removed it and everything shows properly.
Very much enjoy this mod. Patiently awaiting word that it's compatible with the EA update on May 27, 2021 (PC: 1.75.125.1030). 😇
this should be compatible
I'm sorry, I think I might be dumb. Do you know if there are mods that would conflict with this one? I've got the LMS Activities mod, which adds its own new phone section and KawaiiStacie's Explore mod. Rather, to help narrow it down, what sorts of mods would cause conflicts and make the menu not show up?
none. The interaction is under travel, called "travel to...", doesn't have it's own menu. If it's not there, the problem is 100% the xml injector.
do you have to download both or just one?
If you want the SCCO addon then it's both.
Not sure if visiting construction sites is a general thing older people do in the US, but it's something I thought only my dad did now that he's retired (he was an electrician that worked almost exclusively on industrial construction jobs and loves to see things getting built - the more complicated and ugly it is the more he'll be impressed), so seeing you add it based on your experience in Italy makes me smile at least.
I love this mod and I use it a lot. However I had a problem yesterday. I sent my sim shopping for the first time and the fun meter was moving down so quickly I had to bring her home. She is materialistic - so I thought she should like the activity.
Yeah she should unless I accidentally left a - in front of a number. I'll check if that's the problem.
I see going to the gym increases my sims' fitness, but does it also make them slim/ muscular? Would be great as they often put on weight and taking them to the gym myself is a pain (just like real life lol)
yup, both... not much you need to be constant going.
Would you consider having sims dress for the activity? Like athletic wear to work out, party wear for the bar?
Yeah I could... Doesn't make much sense since they disappear and to have this feature not bother me in game I'd need them to change into everyday autonomously when coming back.
Dumb question but...I should delete the other mod, yes?
what other mod?
Would you consider one day adding a early bird "walk in the mall" activity for elder sims? In Arizona all our senior people get up REAL early and they go to walk through the mall every morning even though all the shops are closed because it's a nice roomy and air-conditioned place to exercise. Also, could there be a "Go to the Y" or "Go to the YMCA" activity for all age groups for various gatherings, exercise groups, club meetings, etc. If a sim is in a club they could, maybe, have random popups indicating an interaction with a club member or an argument amongst friends at the rabbit hole meeting that has taken place and have it affect relations a bit + or -. :)
I missed this comment! sure!
This won’t conflict with the explore mod will it?
shouldn't conflict with anything, all new tunings.
This is so fun!!! I love these sorta mods for ts4 because of the closed world. It helps with allowing other sims to progress while you focus on one or two.
That is such a great mod. Can’t wait to try it.
This is great. It has always bugged me when playing with bigger families that with many different personalities that they hang out together at home all the time -and get stressed about it- or if I want them to go somewhere I have to basically make it a field trip for all- no matter their preferences. Thank you.
Will they meet new sims when they go places? Cause the mod I use for this now, they don't, and it would be nice if they could. Anyway, these latest mods you've made sound great, I will definitely be downloading them when I have time to get back into playing.
Nope... I didn't add that... I can see to add it for some activities like playground
