While they are away their Fun, Social Needs & Hunger will fill up. Going on a Date will also build up Romance. Sometimes Sims will even have a Woohoo while they are away.

Category Activities for Toddlers

  • Send to Daycare (Costs 10 $ per hrs & Sim)
    This will let your Sims (Parents & Caregiver) send Toddlers to the Daycare. You can send them there for 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10 hrs. While Toddlers are away their Fun, Social Needs, Bladder & Hunger will fill up. They’ll also build up all 5 Skills while being away.

Category Activities for Pets

  • Send to Pet Sitter (Costs 10 $ per hrs & Pet)
    This will let your Sims (Teen and above) send Pets to the Pet Sitter. They will stay there up to 4, 8, 12, 24 hrs. While Pets are away their Affection & Play,  Bladder & Bowel Needs as well as Hunger & Hygiene will fill up. You can call them back earlier via the Phone “Call back from Pet Sitter”. Sometimes it seems that Pets can get Stuck in the Rabbithole. So i added the Petsitter Call back Interaction whenever a Pet is in a Social Activity so you can bring them back this way.
  • Send to/Go to Dog Trainer (Costs 100 $ per Pet)
    Each time your Pets go to the Dog Trainer they will learn a new Command. When your Sims decide to go with their Pets they will build up their Training Skill as well.

Important Info:

How the Rabbitholes work

I changed how Rabbitholes work for Active Households. Before all Rabbitholes were just Interactions where Sims fade out. When your active Sim, who is not in a Rabbithole travelled to another Lot & back home, those Rabbitholes got cancelled and the Sims that should still be in a Rabbithole were back at home.

Now when you send Household Sims into one of the Activities Rabbitholes, they are in real Rabbitholes. When you travel with another Household Sim, the Sims you send into Rabbitholes will still be in those Rabbitholes and when you come back before the Duration is over, they will still be away. If the Rabbitholes end before you travel home, they will be go back home and change into the self care away action. Unfortunaley in such cases they won’t get all the loot they would get from these Activities. Buffs for example cannot be added to non instanced Sims. Relationship, Skill & Motives Gain still works though.

Sending Household Members into those Rabbitholes when they are not on the home lot, will still be the old interaction fade out way, since Rabbitholes only work on Home Lots. Same goes for NPCs, they cannot go into real Rabbitholes.

I highly recommend my

Toddler don’t go to Daycare Mod

when you plan to go into Rabbitholes with the whole Household incl. Toddler. Add the “Toddler don’t go to Daycare” to your Toddler, and when the Question appears to hire a Nanny or Send to Daycare click send to Daycare. This way your Toddler can still go into the Rabbitholes. 

Optional Addon:

  • Holiday Traditions
    If you have “Seasons” you can add the Social Activities Interactions as Traditions
