Senior Trip and Expanded Storytelling Rel Bits Update
🕑 Added 2023-07-15 21:48:04 +0000 UTCHere are the two new updates for the Senior trip and Expanded Storytelling Rel Bits mod.
Senior Trip
Mod's official post page for more info
The senior trip experience is now more detailed. Instead of your Sim voting and immediately going to the senior location, they will have to go through a few additional steps.
Sim World Names
Furthermore, I have added the option to go on the trip with Sims from existing worlds in the game, rather than worlds that do not "exist" in the game. You can choose which file you want to download.
Pre-Senior Trip Meeting
The new features that I have added, Pre-Senior Trip Meetings, are meant to enhance the immersive experience. Your sim will be more actively involved in making the Senior Trip happen.
Before going on the trip, your sim will need to attend three senior trip meetings. I designed this to be flexible, allowing players with shorter lifespans to time the meetings as they prefer. For example, if someone has Seasons installed, they could attend meetings weekly, corresponding to the seasons (summer, fall, winter), and then go on the trip in spring. This is just one example of how you can use the mod.
After the first senior trip meeting, your sim will need to vote on a location. If you've used this mod before, you're familiar with the process. You will vote, and a few hours later, you will receive a notification about the chosen location.
After the first meeting, you will be able to attend your second one. During the second meeting, you will vote on the fundraiser that your sim and their peers will be organizing. Your sim will leave the meeting, and a few hours later, they will receive a notification.
Wait until you receive a call from the student. You will notice that there will still be the option to go to the 2nd meeting, ignore it though. Once you receive the you will immediately be able to attend the fundraiser, but be careful, it may flop.
Fundraisers
Once you receive a call about the fundraiser, you have a few options. For Movie Night and Game Night, you can purchase games, which will greatly contribute to the success of the fundraiser.
Additionally, you can make a post about the fundraiser. If you have enough followers or a high enough charisma level, your post may go viral, significantly boosting the fundraiser's success.
If your class chose the bake sale, you can even bake goods and bring them to the event. It will bring joy to everyone, and if your baked goods are excellent, the chances of a successful bake sale will be much higher.
(After you finish baking the food all you have to do is put it in your inventory before going to the fundraiser)
Final Step
After the fundraiser, your sim will be able to go on their final pre-senior trip meeting. This meeting is just a debrief of how the fundraiser went. After the meeting, you will be able to go on the senior trip.
The next steps are covered in my official senior trip post, but it's pretty straightforward.
Milestone
Finally, if you have Growing Together your teen sim will now get a milestone after they come back from the trip

Expanded Storytelling Rel Bits
Mod's official post page for more info
I have made updates that will make this mod feel a bit more immersive. I have also fixed the llama icon that would show up instead of the actual photos.
Milestones (Optional, Growing Together Required)
If you have Growing Together you should keep the optional milestone package files. Once you set relationship bits a milestone will be unlocked in relation to the relationship bit.

Are we supposed to keep the script file from the original post? Or do we only need one of the package files from this post to play the updated version of your Senior Trip mod?

I love relationship bits, you know one thing I miss in the game? The ex-boyfriend/ex-girlfriend and/or ex-wife/ex-husband ones. So simple but when you play with a big and old save with a bunch of sims it would help a lot! ;)

I'm loving the expanded storytelling and relationship bits so much so far! Have you thought about making one for an unrequited love? Or is not not a possible one to make with the way relationships work in Sims 4?
