Debate Event
This event is in a way a debate and speech contest, where your Sim can win money, increase charisma and research and debate skill, as well as social skill and school performance if they are children.
Event adds 14 new debate topics (interactions) to podium pair, those are school and politics related topics.
Any age can participate in a dabate, also children (only the animation is not perfect as children become a bit longer and they hover over the ground ;) sorry, I started learning how to make animations, but it will take a while :D )
To increse winning chances it's good to work on research and debate skill (also charisma and social skills if giving speech), be in a good mood, like e.g. confident and prepare to debate in advance (for giving speeches preparation is to check Simpedia on a computer).
Event was mostly created to enable children to debate and to add new debate topics that do not require any skill, nor preparation. Also it will be used in my Afterschool Activities 2 mod.
Required packs:
Obviously, a debate interaction with opponent is only available with Discover University Expansion Pack. But for base game players I added all those interactions available as speech, using microphone (or podiums from City Living EP).
