OK but like I really hate the "read with an adult" requirement for the Whiz Kid aspiration

Every other other child aspiration requirement actually does something to build the skill the aspiration is based around, but not this one! You just have to waste two hours reading with the kid and it does nothing. No skills built, no beneficial emotion moodlets. It fills fun and social a bit, and that's it. It drives me crazy.

I swear it used to be that time being read to as a toddler would count toward it, and at least that building some skill (even if it's the wrong one :-/) but it looks like that's changed.

I don't suppose anyone's made a modified modded version of this kid aspiration? Cause I actually like it otherwise! It's just this one thing! Could there maybe be a different requirement put in, something like "spend two hours viewing the sky with a telescope" or "do homework at the library" even would be more tolerable. Or, if anyone's found a way to have reading and reading with adults actually build skills for children? Maybe there could be two different kinds of kids books, some of which build creative and some which build mental? Something like that?

Obviously I can't just cheat the milestone, which I've been doing and lately and don't feel too bad about. I mean, I still have to get that mental skill to ten and get an A in school, so it's not like it's a breeze even if I skip that reading part. But I hate cheating stuff like that, so if there was a way to just change it so it made more sense, I would be thrilled!
