01.11.2024 UPDATE: allow kids to pay bills with all available options (computer, phone etc.)

The mod is probably not for every day, but it can still be useful if you want to play a boarding school or an orphaned child. After all, with this mod, the child will be able to live alone! In addition to the script that allows the child to live alone on the property, I wrote a tuning that allows the children to pay their own bills (or it would be problematic to live alone).

USAGE 

Note that you cannot move a child to another plot alone by the normal means of the game, as this is a hardcoded game. But this limitation can be circumvented as follows:

Relocate the child with an adult

Remove the adult from the family

(Optional) Return the adult to the previous family or remove the adult if you only needed him/her for relocation. Repeat these steps for a subsequent relocation of the child.

 A small clarification: the usual removal of adults from the family without this mod (for example, cheats MCCC) will not work, because after some time the game will start the action to remove / guardianship of the child.

 I also recommend putting these mods to fully play as a child:

Realistic mods for children 

Adult skills for children

INSTALLATION 

For convenience, put both files in the same folder, but the mods themselves are independent and can be used separately. Remember that ts4script should lie no deeper than one subfolder!

CONFLICTS

 There may be a conflict with ts4script mods, which also affect the age at which a sim can live alone (property can_live_alone in SimInfo). But it is unlikely to encounter another such mod.

Pay Bills module can conflict with another similar mods (though it works fine with MC settings).

Doesn't work for me, sadly.. can't remove the adult sim from the household as it still wants the child to not be alone

SonozakiSisters

You installed the mod wrong. This mod works, I'm playing with it raght now

Sunny Rdtzk

I extracted it and placed it in the mods folder, like any other mod :( what did I do wrong? It won't let me remove the adult over neighborhood view, could that be the issue? Removing the adult over mccc worked, but not over neighborhood

SonozakiSisters

Ah, yes, it will not work this way because it's the UI limitation. However, you can remove an adult with cheats or MCCC. If you want to enter the CAS or move the household, just create a temporary adult, do actions you want and delete this sim

Angela Gould

Could someone please explain clearly how to remove the adult? Everything I have tried crashes my game. Thank you in advance.

SonozakiSisters

Use the cheat 'Remove from the Household' or delete a sim using MCCC, for example. Anyway, neither of these options will crash the game. You do something wrong

I can't find the download button, is the mod broken?

A.H.Sims

ohh, I'm totally blind, thank you!

Hey, i have a question, can it be a teen? by the same rules?

MImiKat

First, thank you for this mod! Will this allow them to care for toddlers perhaps in the future?

I don't know if it's my game or if I did something incorrectly, but this isn't working for me. My kid sim can gain skills in each thing but can't do the things. Like cooking or gardening.

SonozakiSisters

Sorry but I don't understand what do you mean by skills gaining, this mod has nothing to do with skills. You must put the mod no deeper than one subfolder and follow the instructions I wrote as UI won't allow you to move children alone

Soft Blue

Maybe it’s my game then. And I think I was confusing the skill thing with other mods you suggested. My child sim already lives alone, I just shift clicked and removed the adult from the family. Was that incorrect? The script mod is no deeper than one sub folder. Maybe I’m confused about the UI thing?

Soft Blue

Oh gosh, nevermind. I’m just dumb. I figured it out. Sorry!!
