StarsCCU (Child Can Use) Bundle

Overview

StarsCCU (Child Can Use) Bundle expands gameplay by allowing child Sims to participate in interactions and activities that are normally restricted by age. This includes:

- Hire services (e.g., Maid, Butler, Nanny)
- Operating the Music Mix Station & Pizza Oven (minor stretching animations, no custom animations)
- Joining supported careers (lets a child get a job)

This bundle provides a unified, flexible system for child Sims, enabling them to take on more responsibilities and explore gameplay options previously unavailable.

Add's cloned buy objects to the catalog, Search for stars or enable CC Filter! 

Limitations / Known Issues

- Active careers (e.g., Acting, Interior Decorator) are not supported; assigning them may cause a crash if using "go to work with Sim" (work-related objects not tuned yet, no interactions)  
- Music Mix Station & Pizza Oven use standard teen reach/stretch; no custom animations are included  
- Certain interactions may not display correctly due to conflicts with other CC, test first before reporting  
- UI elements may occasionally display incorrectly for child Sims (Sims 4 has unusual code for child interactions)  

Important Notes

• If an interaction does not appear, Reset Debug the Sim with "TestingCheats True & Shift Right clicking the sim" or reloading the lot/world 
• Mods that override phone interactions, career tuning, or age restrictions may conflict
