Take Photo for othersย now officially earns your Sims money even with a tripod!ย With this business rule active, as long as your Sims are taking photo withย Tripodย for others afterย Tending Tripod, they'll earn money based on skills and Fine Arts Degrees.
Tend Makeup Chairย now does not work due to anย EA bug.ย
A More Modular Experience:
Apart from the Talking Toilet Bundle, WooHoo Business Bundle and a few activities that are still bundled together (Riding Horses and Using Horse Obstacles, for example). All 261 activities are now separated so you can pick and choose what you like. Using Kuttoe'sย NPC everywhere? Then you might not need that Front Desk activity. Using Lunar Britney's Tend Market Stalls? Then throw mine out! Despising Batuu and don't want it? Just delete them all! However,ย all the activities are pack safeย and you areย not required to delete the activities labeled with a pack you don't ownย - They won't show up if you don't own them. However, activities that areย Cross-Packย might need some work if you don't want your club panel clogged with unwanted activities.
That folder includes all activities that are called in my Dynasty Values Expanded mod. It is recommended to keep all of the activities in this folder.ย I purposefully avoided to include any that are too minor or useless. (Like the talking toilet one, that was called in the Dynasty Values but not in this folder, so you don't need to keep a minor club activity for that to work - it works without it)
That folder includes all business add-ons.ย Requires Business and Hobbies,ย of course.ย
Most of the activities should not be too minor, apart from those in MiscObjects, TraitsCareers and SpecificScenarios folders.

Off-the-Grid Business is now possible when your Small Business employee use the newย Use and Fuel Industrialized Deviceย activity. By default, this will cost Simoleons from the Small Business, but you can toggle on the kiosk to use Bits and Pieces instead! Notice that NPCs will still fuel the appliances with 0ย Bits and Pieces. Too avoid exploitation, this activity is available to Small Business Employee and Getaway/Custom Venue and NOT for clubs. Alternatively, useย Compost and Use Biofuelย for cleaner energy.
Several activities that are locked behind gameplay are now unlocked for some club/getaway/business activities so you can now Protest ย without being a Politician and let your Small Business employeeย Be a Living Statue without unlocking the costume.
Fruit Punch and Drink Tray
The Fruit Punch Fountain in Luxury Party, High School Years and My Wedding Stories is underestimated. New activities are added, so you can streamline your Custom Venue and getaway with a Simย Refilling Fruit Punch Fountain! Drink Trays are also great for Small Business.ย Custom Venue and Getaways so be sure to have customersย Restock and Grab Drink from Drink Tray, or simplyย Grab Drink from Drink Trayย and serve them free drinks by the house!

Just beware of a potential Grouch Sim who aims toย Sabotage Holiday or Give Mean Gifts!
Ok, now, onto the real star of this update - the Clinic Business Archetype! Available to Simmers who own Get to Work.ย Two Brand new activities are now available to Small Business -ย Treat Patientsย for employees andย Seek Medical Helpย for Customers.
After selecting the corresponding activities, you might need some necessities:ย A Hospital Exam Bed.ย This is required to run examinations and treat patients.
After a patient is checked in, we canย 'Admit Patients'ย to the Exam Bed. ONLY Admitted patients can be examined and treated, this is because you need time to run examinations, diagnose and treat patients. So only admit patients when you think you're capable to treat them. Or else they'll leave with terrible rating.
The process is then divided into 4 processes: Triage, Examination, Diagnose and Treatment.
After admitting a patient, useย 'Discuss Health'ย interaction on the patients and you'll get instructions on what to do next.ย There are a lot of illnesses and sicknesses now in the Sims 4 and I do plan on expanding on this list. The clinic now supports the following sicknesses:
Illness in Get to Work (Default Open)
Injury in Base Gameย (Default Open,ย Introduced in Snowy Escape)
Sprained Ankle in City Livingย (Default Open)
Ailments in Enchanted by Natureย (Default Disabled. Toggle this on with the kiosks.)
Small Businesses will meet more difficult sicknesses when the rating goes up. When the star rating is low, there's no way a patient who needs a Surgery would show up.
After triaging, the notification will instruct you to run examinations on Exam Bed, inย X-Ray Machine, or useย Naturopath socials. Logic or Apothecary skills are recommended to make the examination more successful. A Biology Degree almost doubles the speed you can get results.
Clinic employees can also test patient samples on theย Chemical Analyzerย if patients are suspected to have caught a common illness.This significantly increase examination process and is recommended to run by a Logic expert or aย Biology graduate.
Sims can generally start to diagnose after running a few examinations, it could be possible for a Sim with lowย Logic level or without a Biology degreeย to still not have a guaranteed diagnosis after all examinations are completed. Anyway, your Sim need to do this. If they chose to open a clinic without expertise, that's on them!
The diagnosis result will guide your Sim and open up treatment opportunities. Treatments are completed with Exam Beds, a simple medication, a correctย Apothecary Cure, or even aย Surgery Table!ย Fairiesย can cure ailments right away with their abilities.
Surgeries success rate are increased with higher Handiness skill and, obviously, aย a Biology degree, low skill level or having no Biology degree can lead to failed examinations, leaving you a Terrible rating.
Mild Injuries can also be treated withย Hot-Tub, Onsen, or 3 specific massages.ย You earn more Simoleons with relaxation treatments, but a failed massage also result in a terrible rating.
At high star rating, some customers might come back for rehab after a severe injury has been treated. Aย Hospital Treadmillย is require to complete their treatment.
Small Business feature employee managements so you can definitely have them help you in the process. NPC Employees will help you triage and run basic examinations autonomously. But to avoid a false diagnosis, they won't autonomously diagnose patients, unless a guaranteed diagnosis is already available. You can also ask an employee toย test patient sampleย for you, since it takes a lot of time.
X-Ray Machine and Surgery Table can be operated by an employee if you choose toย Refer for Employee led X-Ray Scan/Surgery. The skill and degree requirement applies.
Employees won't autonomously treat patients.
Visit Clinic as a Patient
As a patient yourself, you can also get your illness, ailments and injuries treated in a Small Business. Just visit any Small Business with an Exam Bed and have the 'Seek Medical Help' activity active. The procedure is basically the same as running a clinic. You go to the clinic, ask any Small Business Employee to Get you Triaged, Run recommended Examinations and get treated.
Thanks for those 3 wonderful lots I used when testing my mod! Due to Gallery issues, I couldn't Like some of them by the time I post this. I promise I will!
