🗨️ SPEECH THERAPY — Mod For TS4
Every little voice deserves to be heard.
Some little Sims need a bit of extra help finding their words — and now they can get
it. Speech Therapy adds a real, warm, visiting speech pathologist to your game, with
proper one-on-one sessions, good days and hard days, homework, and a graduation.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✨ WHAT IT DOES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
👩⚕️ A REAL VISITING SPEECH PATHOLOGIST
Click any toddler or child → "Call Speech Pathologist (§75)". A dedicated speech
pathologist travels to your home, greets
you professionally, and works one-on-one with the child you called her for.
🧸 REAL THERAPY SESSIONS
For about an hour she works through a real little curriculum with your child —
Teach to Talk, animal flash cards, letter & counting flash cards, reading a toddler
picture book, and conversation practice. No wandering off to cook your dinner. She's
a professional.
📈 SKILLS THAT GROW
Toddlers build their Communication skill; children build Social. Every session
counts — even the hard ones.
🌦️ GOOD DAYS AND HARD DAYS
Most sessions end in smiles — "Found My Words!" for the child and a "Proud Caregiver" glow for parents & grandparents. But some days the sounds just won't come: a "Tough Speech Day" for the little one, a "Worried About Their Voice" moodlet for the family, and an honest report from the therapist. Hard days are part of every speech journey.
🎓 THE SPEECH JOURNEY
Progress is tracked per child and persists through saves — and even through aging up! Reports show "Session 3 of 6", there's a milestone celebration halfway, and the 6th session is GRADUATION DAY: a certificate from the therapist, a "Found Their
Voice" moodlet for your new chatterbox, and a "They Did It!" celebration for the whole family. 🥹
📚 HOMEWORK
After each visit the therapist assigns practice. Until it's done, caregivers can
click the child → "Practice Speech Sounds (Homework)" — a sweet parent-child
practice moment that builds skill AND makes the next session much more likely to go
well. Showing up matters; so does practicing.
💙 SPEECH DELAY (FULLY OPT-IN)
Want deeper storytelling? Click a child → "Note a Speech Delay". They'll sometimes
get a gentle "Hard to Find the Words" moodlet in daily life — but every therapy session makes it rarer, and graduating clears it for good. (Remove the note anytime.)
👨👩👧 FAMILY-AWARE
The proud (and worried) moodlets go to the child's parents and grandparents.

🖥️ CHEAT / CONSOLE COMMANDS (Ctrl+Shift+C)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
speech.check
Support check — confirms the script mod is loaded and the package is installed.
(If you're reporting a problem, run this first and include what it says!)
speech.calltherapist
Books the speech pathologist from the console. If your active Sim IS a
toddler/child, the session is for them; otherwise use the pie menu on the child.
speech.sessions
Shows the ACTIVE Sim's speech-journey progress (sessions, graduated, homework,
delay).
speech.sessions
Sets the ACTIVE Sim's completed-session count (e.g. "speech.sessions 5" makes
the next session Graduation Day). Handy for storytelling or testing.

Drop BOTH files into your Mods folder (a subfolder is fine, max one level deep):
SpeechTherapy.package
SpeechTherapy.ts4script
Load your family, click a toddler or child, and look for
"Call Speech Pathologist (§75)". 💛
Base game compatible. The flash-card activities appear if you have Parenthood — without it, sessions simply use the other activities.
