Afterschool Activities BundleA

This is first part of my Improved Children project (in general I work on more activities, one-time jobs, aspirations and events for children).

This mod introduces 6 new activities that focuse on creative/performance skills: school choir, school orchestra, literature & poetry circle, dance classes, art classes and acting classes (for those who don't have Get Famous).

Each Activity:

• has 5 levels

• increases fun and social motives, corresponding skills, responsibility and control of emotions (last two are influenced if you have Parenthood)

• includes some custom chance cards that has various outcomes influencing performance and adding new buffs

Additionally:

School Orchestra - allows to choose main instrument that you will learn to play from now on. You choose instrument during preparatory classes and you stick to your choice. (If for some reason the choice gets reset, just choose instrument again, it happened sometimes to me, I couldn't find a reason).

Literature & Poetry Circle - you will need to write your poems or stories using computer (new interactions). Once you complete the poem, you'll find it in the inventory. You can read it, or send to rest of the group, so they can review it. If you send it, new away action unlocks during activity - to discuss your writing. The group can like or not your work.

School Choir - I added new interaction to use with mirror - Warm up your voice - it will work to complete also singing objective :) This is mostly for people that don't have City Living, so you can still fully enjoy the activity :)

Dance classes - Children can also workout using monkey bars :)

This is my first attempt on careers in general, so please be gentle and let me know if anything is not working. I know that update comes soon, but after all struggles I had with this mod, I am sure I now know careers mechanism well enough to update it quickly, if necessary :D

Compatibility:

• Compatibility with JaneSimsten mods (Flute, French Horn, Cello, Harp and Oboe Skills) - I implemented it with an add-on. Now, when joining School Orchestra, your teen Sim can choose as instrument flute, french horn cello, harp or oboe. Children can't, as the JS mod is not working for kids.

• Compatibility with Ballet mods - now, when joining Dance Classes, your Sim (teen and child) can complete objective by practising ballet, using interaction to Practise/train ballet from both of these mods: Ballet Skill: https://www.patreon.com/posts/mod-ballet-skill-101313993 Ballet Barre Mod: https://www.patreon.com/posts/sims-4-ballet-63698473

• This mod overrides files "objectives_Asp_Teen_GoalOriented_A1_1" and "objectives_Asp_Teen_GoalOriented_A2_1" so that afterschool activities will count now towards the aspiration Goals Oriented (it will work for any custom afterschool activities).
