- Do Crossword: it's more attractive for serious Sims and enthusiasts of games (provided you have FreeTime installed),
- Make Airplane: only when a newspaper is old, and a Sim has at least 3 playfulness points and at least 5 interest points in toys. It's more attractive for playful Sims.
This mod may occasionally cause unexpected bad mood dialogs to appear when a Sim tries to autonomously solve a crossword puzzle. In order to avoid such situations, I highly recommend using it with No Auto Bad Mood Dialogs.
Update (17 Jul 2024): Fixed attractiveness of the Make Airplane interaction. Enabled autonomy for non-adults.
Choosing the right version- If you have Ultimate Collection, Apartment Life, or Mansion & Garden Stuff installed – choose EP8. If not, go to 2.
- If you have FreeTime installed – choose EP7. If not, go to 3.
- If you have Super Collection, Seasons, or Bon Voyage installed – choose EP5. If not, go to 4.
- If you have Pets installed – choose EP4. If not, go to 5.
- If you have Nightlife, Open for Business, or any stuff pack (except of Mansion & Garden Stuff) installed – choose EP2. If not, choose base.
