After school activities for kids and teens

I really hope we get more after school activities for them. Scouting is a cool step in the right direction. It would be great if they had practices after school and then games to go to :)

Great idea! They could also go to after school study clubs which they could get homework done and get their grades up? They could join a music band, sports team, etc, there are so many opportunities with this. What about even going to the activity as the child and it having goals you have to complete???

Amazing idea but there are mods kinda like that. KawaiiStacie does an afterschool activity mod which I have. Your child could do literally anything. My teen is a cheerleader and my kid does chess.

When you say 'football' you mean soccer, right?

And why not include cricket?
Also, why do you only list sports? I never played sports. My after school activities included going to the library, and reading an entire novel by lunch the following day.
Also, when would they have time to do homework? My sim kids barely seem to have enough time to get it done. If after school stuff was added, they'd never spend time with their families. :/

I don't know, by the time they've taken care of needs and done with homework for the day, its practically bedtime already. Especially if they also have projects and extra credit. I don't feel there is enough time during the week to work on skills and their aspirations. I probably wouldn't sign my kids up for any more activities, depends how much time it takes. A couple hours once a week, maybe.

great idea

I'd like to have the OPTION to go, but not have to go.. I don't really know how else to continue this comment... so... :|

Sounds cool in theory but I dont know. By the time the sim kids do homework and eat, it is time for bed.

Well to answer your first question I meant football and the reason I listed only sports is because that's what 'most' male children would do but after school clubs and things like that are included

Globally "football" means soccer.
When kids play "football" in Australia, they usually mean AFL (Aussie Rules) or Soccer.
SO which "football" were you talking about? AFL (Aussie rules) or soccer? Or did you mean Rugby? Cos that's "football" too!

Since you're taking a strange route, what would 'girls' do after school? Why only list 'boy' things?
Don't boys play in bands where you live? Aren't they scouts? Don't they do art?

When I was a kid, 'sport' night was thrusday. All sports practices happened then.
Music was an extra curricular activity that happened during school hours.
After school most kids had chores, or work, or homework to do, not much time for anything else. I don't really get the point of after school activities. Weekend activities? Sure! But not after school.


Whatever way you look at it, football is just not cricket!

Cricket is a very popular summer sport, played in many countries. It's second to football (soccer) as the most popular sport globally. Internationally, the biggest rivalry is between Australia and England, but you've also gotta watch out for New Zealand, India, South Africa, West Indies, Zimbabwe, Afghanistan, Ireland, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh.

So why not include cricket?
