Parenthood refresh ideas

I want ALL OF THE THINGS!!!

More sentiments between family members would be great.

One thing I'd really like to see is afterschool events for Kids/Teens like the drama club/scouts.. But I'd like to be able to go to some of the events similar to a job. Some could be continuous and even create more jobs that you could only get from YEARS of training to boost skill :)

KIDS EVENTS

Kids having access to more Adult skills like Dance, Fitness, and new traits that start from childhood!

Ballet
**Continuous event for practices and occasional recitals that would increase the level of Dance/Ballet Skill (for example a certain level of Cooking Skill> Gourmet Cooking Skill. So, level 5 Dance Skill>up to level 5 Ballet Skill )
*Cute items and clothes like ballet costume, ballet shoes, jewelry box with ballerina
*Extra- During recitals family can also travel with the kid to watch and boosts event goal.
*Traits- Graceful, Brat


Sports
**Continuous event for practices and occasional games/tournaments that would increase the level of Motor/Athlete Skill (Level 5 Motor> Athelete skill up to level 5) GAMES COULD ALSO BE A MINIGAME WITHIN THE SIMS
*Some items - Kiddy basketball hoop, Soccer/ Street hockey goal. Soccer mom cooler,
*Extra- During games family can also travel with the kid to watch and boosts event goal.
*Traits- Competitive (sore loser), Team Player (similar to outgoing)

Babysitting
*Parents can schedule and pay for a kid to stay at a babysitters (order it on phone like pizza), where the kid can get their homework done/eat after school (all needs move to happy). 40$imoleons an hour per kid depending on how long and more if the kid needs to eat


TEEN EVENTS

Ballet
**Continuous event for practices and occasional recitals that would increase the level of Dance/Ballet Skill (for example a certain level of Cooking Skill> Gourmet Cooking Skill. So, level 5 Dance Skill>up to level 10 Ballet Skill )
*Cute items and clothes like ballet costume, ballet shoes, jewelry box with ballerina
*Extra- During recitals family can also travel with the kid to watch and boosts event goal.
*Traits- Graceful, Brat

Sports
**Continuous event for practices and occasional games/tournaments that would increase the level of Fitness/Athlete Skill (Level 3 Fitness> Athelete skill up to level 10*) GAMES COULD ALSO BE A MINIGAME WITHIN THE SIMS (Athlete skill helps get promoted in athlete career)
*Some items - Kiddy basketball hoop, Soccer/ Street hockey goal. Soccer mom cooler, soccer shoes, hockey stick
*Extra- During games family can also travel with the kid to watch and boosts event goal.
*Traits- Competitive (sore loser), Team Player (similar to outgoing)


PROM- %70 finished Teen Age
** One time event that is NOT a rabbit hole, with other teens in the world appearing at a generic lot venue (idk maxis can make an event building or something for prom, or it could be a gym with a stage that could be shared with the ballet venue)
*Event goals - Have a Date(achieved before the event), Socialize, Dance, Vote for prom king and queen, eat food , try to get elected as king/queen - (winners get sash and crowns
*Items/Clothes- more gowns, I'm thinking like 00's prom or quinceanara options, corsages, prom queen/king crowns and sash,



GRADUATION PARTY 90% Finished Teen Age

** One time event that is NOT a rabbit hole, can invite guests to any venue or home lot. Basically a house party that requires at least 4 other teen FRIENDS invited.
** Achieving gold will have physical graduation cap in decorated variants that give *nostalgia* happy mood boost in adulthood

I think it would be awesome if items received from events in childhood would give a happy mood boost if adults interacted with them as an adult

I honestly would like a few things for the Kiddos

And quinceañera for latin american sims

I second that on Preteens. *JOHN HANCOCK* style.

Maybe for the child sims, adding a mini pre-teen stage? but not too obvious, where it seems like they have to incorporate new bodies, but instead.. maybe as child sims get close to their birthday, maybe a slight height growth? voice changes, still keeping things the same.. but with slightly updated changes, if it's possible to program it that way. & Yeah, more added activities centered around those growth milestone changes, rollerblading, biking, maybe a Sims version of Tik Tok, (even though that's a bit beyond my generation & not my thing) but still, more Simstagram related stuff, pranks. Stuff like that.

I am not so sure about pre-teens, we need more stuff for teens to do, not divide them into another life stage. I like your other suggestions though.

Deleted Wrong Thread.

I don't think there should be pre-teens, just add stuff for kids and teens. I also wouldn't want a 'prom' event, it's so American.
