Updated: Jul 4
This is part of my Improved Children project (in general I work on more activities, one-time jobs, aspirations and events for children).
This mod introduces 6 new activities that focuse on creative/performance skills:
School Choir
School Orchestra - choose main instrument that you will learn to play from now on during classes
Literature & Poetry Circle - write poems and stories
Dance Classes
Art Classes
Acting Classes (for those who don't have Get Famous)

Each Activity:
has 5 levels
increases fun and social motives, corresponding skills, responsibility and control of emotions (last two if you have Parenthood)
includes some custom chance cards that has various outcomes influencing performance and adding new buffs
Additionally:
School Orchestra - allows to choose main instrument that you will learn to play from now on. You choose instrument during preparatory classes and you stick to your choice.
Literature & Poetry Circle - you will need to write your poems or stories using computer (new interactions). Once you complete the poem, you'll find it in the inventory. You can read it, or send to rest of the group, so they can review it. If you send it, new away action unlocks during activity - to discuss your writing. The group can like or not your work.
School Choir - I added new interaction to use with mirror - Warm up your voice - it will work to complete also singing objective :) This is mostly for people that don't have City Living, so you can still fully enjoy the activity :)
Dance classes - Children can also workout using monkey bars :)

Requires The Sims 4 Base Game.
City Living required for progressing in School Choir.

Conflicts:
This mod doesn't override existing files so should not conflict with other Sims 4 mods.
Compatibility:
Compatibility with JaneSimsten mods (Flute Skill and French Horn Skill) - I implemented it with an add-on. Now, when joining School Orchestra, your teen Sim can choose as instrument flute and french horn. Children can't, as the JS mod is not working for kids.

Compatibility with Ballet mods - now, when joining Dance Classes, your Sim (teen and child) can complete objective by practising ballet, using interaction to Practise/train ballet from both of these mods: Ballet Skill: https://www.patreon.com/posts/mod-ballet-skill-101313993 Ballet Barre Mod: https://www.patreon.com/posts/sims-4-ballet-63698473

Hi Mewlissa, in the game guitar can be used only by teengers. So I didn't make guitar for kids, only for teenagers, because of game restrictions. I know there is a mod allowing kids to play guitar, but if someone does not use the mod, this would lead to confusion. This is why I decided to leave it out.
Hi! I can't find a guitar that is compatible for a kid to use (Orchestra). Are some of these only compatible with teenagers?
