Child to Teen: Reach an "A" Grade in school + max 1 Child Skill.

Teen to Young Adult: Reach an "A" Grade in high school + reach Level 3 in their assigned path skill.

(Safety Net: If the parents are close to passing away before all children complete their requirements, you may turn off auto-aging. No stress!)

• Courtship & Marriage: Physical romantic interactions (kissing, holding hands, WooHoo) are 100% forbidden prior to marriage. Build relationships until you are lovers, but immediately propose right after (engagement). Host a proper formal wedding with invited neighbors.
• Daily 8 PM Reading Session: Every evening at 8:00 PM, all family members must stop what they are doing and gather in the Comfy Library Room (or near a bookshelf) to read together for 1 in-game hour.
• Weekly Family Day: Every Sunday, the entire family must go on a public outing together (park, library, or neighborhood venue), returning home before 8:00 PM.
• Friday Charity: Every Friday, manually deduct 20% of your current household funds using money cheats (money [amount]).

• The Modesty Dash: Before opening the door or greeting any visitor, every family member inside the home must immediately change into their modest outdoor outfits.
• Forbidden Holidays: Non-Islamic holidays (such as Harvestfest or Winterfest) are forbidden. You can either remove them manually from the calendar for easier gameplay, or click the "Cancel Holiday" (X button) on the calendar interface as soon as it starts to avoid sad moodlets.
