Social Activities (Visit Friends, Family and more)  

This Mod adds Social Activities for your Sims to go to!

This Mod adds a new Social Activities Menu to Sims Phones.

There you’ll find several Social Activities you can send your Sims to. You can go alone or take Household Members with you to visit some Friends for example.

Category Social Activities

• Visit Friends (with Pets allowed)
  This lets your Sims visit Friends of their own Age only. They will be gone between 120-180 Minutes. While they are away their Fun & Social Needs will fill up. If your Kids/Teens still have Homework to do (Including Extra Credits) they will do their Homework with their Friends. Visiting Friends will also build up Friendships!
• Visit Family (with Pets allowed)
  This will let your Sims be able to Visit Family Members of any Age who don’t live in the same Household anymore. They can go alone or take other Household Members with them. Visiting Family Members will fill up Fun & Social Needs as well as Friendship.
• Visit Acquaintances (with Pets allowed)
  This lets your Sims visit Acquaintances (which also includes Family Members, Friends) of all Ages. They will be gone between 120-180 Minutes. While they are away their Fun & Social Needs will fill up.
• Visit Crush (“First Love” Mod needed)
  If you have my “First Love” Mod your Sims Children can go and visit their Crush. They will be gone between 120-180 Minutes. While they are away their Fun & Social Needs will fill up. If your Kids still have Homework to do (Including Extra Credits) they will do their Homework with their Crush. Spending Time with their Crush will build up the “First Love Relationship” as well as Friendship.
• Go on a Date
  This lets your Sims go on a Date. You can choose a Sim from your Household or other Households. They will be gone between 120-180 Minutes. While they are away their Fun, Social Needs & Hunger will fill up. Going on a Date will also build up Romance. Sometimes Sims will even have a Woohoo while they are away.

Category Activities for Toddlers

• Send to Daycare (Costs 10 $ per hrs & Sim)
  This will let your Sims (Parents & Caregiver) send Toddlers to the Daycare. You can send them there for 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10 hrs. While Toddlers are away their Fun, Social Needs, Bladder & Hunger will fill up. They’ll also build up all 5 Skills while being away.

Category Activities for Pets

• Send to Pet Sitter (Costs 10 $ per hrs & Pet)
  This will let your Sims (Teen and above) send Pets to the Pet Sitter. They will stay there up to 4, 8, 12, 24 hrs. While Pets are away their Affection & Play,  Bladder & Bowel Needs as well as Hunger & Hygiene will fill up. You can call them back earlier via the Phone “Call back from Pet Sitter”. Sometimes it seems that Pets can get Stuck in the Rabbithole. So i added the Petsitter Call back Interaction whenever a Pet is in a Social Activity so you can bring them back this way.
• Send to/Go to Dog Trainer (Costs 100 $ per Pet)
  Each time your Pets go to the Dog Trainer they will learn a new Command. When your Sims decide to go with their Pets they will build up their Training Skill as well.

Category Vacations

Mini Vacation (with Pets allowed)
Send your Parents and younger Siblings on a Mini Vacation and have the House for Yourself to throw a Party

Duration 48 hrs – mind Age: Toddler

Motives:
All

Skills:
Wellness
Photography
Charisma
Child Social
All Toddler Skills

Important Info: Make sure that your Sims don’t have Work or School for the time you want them to go away or they’ll miss School/Work.

I tried to get the on Vacation Interaction to be saved so i made a small Workaround which works for 80-90%. When you send some Household Sims away ususally traveling was not possible. No you can travel with Sims who stayed at home and when you come back on the Lot the Sims on Vacation will still be away. It won’t work if you send Toddlers/Pets alone away and leave the lot. The Game does not like that so this will not work for them. If you send them with Teens & above away it should work. Known Issues: Sometimes the “Workaround” is visible. This means the Game will spawn the Sim on the Lot and you will see them for a moment before they are on Vacation again.

Honeymoon
