Children Aspirations Bundle (Improved Children)

Here's another part of my Improved Children project :) I wanted to release it earlier, but patch destroyed my plans :D

With this mod you get 4 new aspirations for children:

1. Little Entrepreneur - your youngest Sim wants to earn some first money :D

For this aspiration use my One time jobs for Children

2. School Star - choose afterschool activity, learn new hobby, it can be playing instrument, singing, dancing etc. And finally win School Talent Contest :)

For this aspiration I recommend to use my Afterschool Activities mod, however it should work with any available activity - also custom ones done by other modders :) To complete tasks of winning contest - you can user either rabbit hole interaction, or event Talent Contest.

This aspiration will now work with JaneSimsten instruments (if available for kids) and with ballet mods.

For the mod to work you need also XML injector (the current version).

3. Little Explorer - this is for brave Sims who are curious about the world around them. Travel to various locations, collect treasures, sleep in a tent. Get the Badge of Great Explorer :)

4. Voidcritters Master - Catch Them All :D This aspiration requires Kids Room Stuff pack to collect Voidcritters.

Love these kid aspirations--anyone have any advice on how to win the talent contest for the school star aspiration? I've sent my sim kid 3 times for the instrument one: she has level 7 violin and maxed creativity, always sent in a good mood (tried inspired and confident) and she's still lost every time (unfairly twice, then total failure the third time). Just wondering if there's something I'm missing that would improve a kid's chances?

You can try sending them to this contest if a rabbit hole one is failing: https://www.patreon.com/posts/talent-contest-42250845. I will also check if maybe something needs the update in the rabbit hole interaction.

hi! How do I join the scouts for little explorer?

Hi, you need Seasons EP to join scouts. This objective should not appear if you don't have this pack... but I could make mistake.

I would like to know if there is a trait reward?

Not all, only Voidcritters Master - gets a trait "Little Strategist" (gains logic faster); and Little Explorer gets a trait "Badge of Great Explorer" (enjoys being outdoor and hygiene motive drops slower). School Star has only a Trophy object and fame points, Little Entrepreneur gets objects (piggy bank to break and a laptop).

I'm so excited to play with this (along with the others in the future!!!)! I'm a family gameplay type of person and I tend to be aspiration-heavy, so suffice to say that more children mods add *so* much to my game! Thank you for your hard work <33
