Missing Activities from B&H Classes

Not sure if this is a real bug or just an oversight, or if these are actually harder to code or intentionally left out for some reason - but the following classes are not associated with relevant skill objects. It seems like they could at least be 'optional' and have attendees use them if they are present. 

  • Bartending: Espresso machines
  • Rock Climbing: Climbing wall from Fitness Stuff
  • Photography: Cameras
  • Acting: Stage Marks (solo or paired); also sims should be able to practice acting scenes together
  • Veterinarian: Medicine crafting station
  • Singing: Karaoke machine
  • Pet training: Obstacle courses
  • Horse riding: Horse jumps/barrels 

Classes that could be associated with paired interactions with other attendees ("Partner up and practice!") for the mentoring portion:

  • Mischief
  • Comedy
  • Charisma
  • Romance
  • Acting
  • Pet training (paired with a pet)
  • horse riding (paired with a horse)

  • I'm making Hobby Classes and, for a lot of skills like cooking and pottery this is no problem. But the issue is there are some skills where there isn't a way to mentor sims so when the request to 'mentor for 30 minutes' comes up, there's no way I can.

    As an example, this can't be done with the horse riding skill. Whenever there is a physical object that can be used to mentor the sim then there's usually not a problem, but skills that are more social or don't need a physical object often have no way to mentor.

    Horse riding isn't able to be mentored, apparently by design, but it still shows up as a hobby class task.

    I found an interaction tuning file that suggests horse riding IS actually intended to be mentored (n="mentor_EquestrianSkill" s="329209"), but the option doesn't show up for my Level 7 sim giving the class.

    As a workaround to satisfy the "mentor for 30 minutes" task, you can mentor a sim in fitness. But the task shouldn't be there unless we can mentor horse riding skill.

    "Mentor for 30 minutes" but we can't mentor horse ridingWorkaround: mentor sims in fitness because you can't mentor horse riding
