  - Custom Interactions
    - Create interactions the run Python code in their backends
    - Interaction Types:
      - CommonInteraction - Inherit from this to hook into an interaction and add python functionality to its functions
      - Immediate Super Interaction - An interaction that doesn't require a target to perform. It is started immediately and without an animation.
      - Super Interaction - Like the Immediate Super interaction but these require a target to perform. (sim_chat is one example of a Super Interaction)
      - Mixer Interaction - Use this for custom Mixer interactions.
      - Social Mixer Interaction - Use this for custom Social Mixer interactions.
      - Terrain Interaction - Use for interactions that appear when clicking on the ground.
    - Perform logical checks to determine whether or not to show an interaction
      - Or display an interaction as disabled, with a displayed tooltip that shows when the player hovers the interaction.
    - Run Python code when an interaction is started, cancelled, or has finished.
    - Custom Interaction Tooltips
      - Display tooltips on interactions that display on hover.
      - Locate CommonInteraction for an example of how to utilize custom tooltips in your own interactions.
- Event Handling
  - Create, Dispatch, and Handle Dynamic Events
    - Handle events without needing a reference to the code that sends the event.
    - Decouple that code!
  - Interval Events
    - Run functions on millisecond intervals.
    - Run functions once, after an amount of time has passed.
  - Interaction events (Queued, Started, Ended, Interaction Outcomes)
  - Sim
    - Spawn - Occurs when a Sim spawns or is born into the world.
    - Initialization - Occurs when a Sim is initialized (before being spawned).
    - Occult Swapping - Occurs when a Sim changes to a different Occult (i.e. Human to Mermaid or Human to Vampire or vice verse)
  - Zone Events
    - Zone Update - Occurs every time the zone updates. (Basically every time the game ticks)
    - Zone Teardown - Occurs every time the zone is torn down. Occurs before a loading screen, but only after a Zone had been previously loaded. (See Zone Early/Late Load)
    - Zone Save - Occurs every time a zone is saved. This occurs before the game saves for the player. Be careful with this one!
    - Zone Early Load - Occurs when a zone is loaded, but before the players household has loaded.
    - Zone Late Load - Occurs when a zone is loaded, but after the players household has loaded.

  - Injection - Inject custom functionality into functions

- Testing Framework
  - Write tests to test your python code and run the tests via a command within the game.
  - The results will be logged to the 'Documents/The Sims 4/' folder
  - A single function can handle multiple tests utilizing the same code with different arguments.
  - Run tests via the command: `s4clib.run_tests <class_names_separated_by_a_space>`
  - Class Names are the names of the classes decorated with 'test_class'
  - If no class names are provided, all of the tests will run.
