Parenthood - Activities For All! (Patreon)

So... yeah, they're fun to do, I added a bunch, you can find them under the travel menu on the phone - Travel To...
I was using another mod for this, but no one can make myself happy like myself...
These activities are meant to help with management and for all those times you don't feel like going through a loading screen. Some specific activities will help with the management of some traits just like doing those activities with the sim would (Gym for Active Sims, shopping for Materialistic, Walk for Outdoor loving... just a few of examples) some others will rise a relative skill (like going to the Spa, it will rise wellness and also give your sim one of the Spa activity buffs), decrease stress, some are to rise needs (going to see movie will increase fun, and give one of the movies buffs) just experiment with them.
Walking and Shopping have also another effect: while walking your sim increases herbalism and pick up flowers. When shopping they'll buy random stuff.
The enjoyment of the activity depends on your sim personality (bookworms will enjoy the library... foodies will NOT enjoy the fast food...)
The Coffee Bar is the only one that rises energy
NOTE: if you have Basemental Drugs, going to the bar has the chance to make your sim drunk (not straight edge, no children... but I didn't blacklist teens)
You need to send children or bring them. Sending them to the playground or other activities will ease some childhood phases and the playground specifically will also decrease fat and increase motor and social skill (and give them the Jungle Gym buff)
ADDED:
NightClub your sims have the chance to come back high on MDMA if you have BD
Karaoke (builds singing)
Comics Shop (for geeks... everyone else will not... appreciate it)
And two activities for Elders:
Birdwatching... now this one... outdoor loving sims will actually like this...
Construction Site... this is a thing in Italy... elders like to spend time observing construction sites. I don't know if the stereotype exist in other countries but here you go, this will build fun for elders and tank it for everyone else... and here is where I have been a dick: apart from rising handiness, this is the activity that more than any other increases ALL the child skills, and decreases the duration of childhood phases. Enjoy!
Beauty Salon - will make your sim confident and shiny, and encourage other sims to flirt with them
For your rich snobs:
Country Club - like the gym but exclusive, pricey, more effective and will give you fame.
Exclusive Club - like the bar but exclusive, pricey and give you fame (also has healthy food)
For your geeks, geniuses and paranoids:
UFO Convention - Ok, paranoids may of may not like this. Everyone else but those sims will be bored out of their mind.
For kids:
Magic Show!! Just... don't expect actual witches to enjoy this.

Replaced SCCO addon with maxis groceries included in the mod directly, since I don't plan putting SCCO back, the addon is now unsupported.
