CHOH — Child Head of Household 🧒🏠

Let a Child run a household on their own in The Sims 4 — no Teen required!

A single-file script mod: child-only households are valid, bills are paid automatically, and a weekly care allowance keeps the little one afloat. No .package files, no dependencies.

✨ Features

• Child-only households work — the household survives saving, loading and the game's cleanup systems (no more sims disappearing when there's no adult).
• Child Care Allowance — a household with a Child and no Teens+ receives 150 § every Monday with a notification (Polish or English — auto).
• Bills paid automatically — auto-pay is enabled for child-only households, just like in any normal family.
• choh.pay_bills — manual fallback to pay the current bill as a child.

🧪 How to create a family with only a child

The game's CAS validation (in the compiled client) requires at least one Teen+ and cannot be bypassed — so you create the household with a Teen, then turn them into a Child in live mode:

1. CAS → create a household with a TEEN → enter live mode.
2. Open the console (Ctrl+Shift+C) and type:
     testingcheats on
     choh.set_child            (turns the active Sim into a Child)
   or by name:
     choh.set_child <First Last>
3. Save → exit to menu → load the save.
   Done — you now play a child-headed household!

That's it. The allowance arrives every Monday and bills are paid on their own.

📦 Installation

1. Put CHOH_Mod.ts4script in: Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Mods\
2. Game settings → enable Script Mods → restart the game.
3. Enjoy!

💡 Tips

• To edit a child's appearance in CAS: temporarily choh.set_teen, edit, save, then choh.set_child again.
• Diagnostics: look for OK: patch zainstalowany in mod_logs\CHOH.log (or CHOH.log in your Documents folder).
• Households with a Teen+ are completely unaffected — vanilla behavior.

✅ Requirements

• The Sims 4, game version 1.124.55.1030 (tested 16 Aug 2026).
• Script Mods enabled in game settings.
