School day changes

What is this?
This upload contains two different mods that affect the school day. One that makes schools start earlier, and one that makes school days shorter for children so they come home from school at the same time as their older siblings.
With School Starts Earlier, school will start at 8am in both public and private school. It does not affect how long the school day is, so teens will get out at noon, and children will get out at 2pm, unless you choose to use the second mod that shortens school day for children. One benefit of the school day starting earlier is that your teens with jobs that start at 3pm get an additional hour to take care of needs before it's time to go to work.
With Shorter School Days your Sim children only have to spend 4 hours in school, just like teen Sims. I figured some people might like there to be some kind of difference between public and private school, so I decided to offer the mod in three variations. Only use one. None of them change school hours for teens.
1. Children go to school for 4 hours, just like teens
2. Children in public school have 4 hour school days, but children in private school have 6 hours school days as usual
3. Children in private school have 4 hour school days, but children in public school have 6 hours school days as usual
I can think of a whole heap of other combinations that people might want, but I know it gets confusing to download when there are lots of different files so I'm going to stick with these four for now. If anyone wants some other set up of school duration for children/teens you are welcome to request it and if I can I'll make it for you.
When combined with optional school bus
One of the great things about this is that if teens and children are in school for the same amount of hours, they will return together in the car if they carpool to school together. That lets you avoid the school bus all together, if you really want to. See my Carpool & School Bus Flexibility for more details.
Compatibility
Compatible with all setups. No EPs required, anyone can use it.
Conflicts
No conflicts that I know of. Will conflict with mods that affect the school hours for children and
teens.
Does not affect Inge Jones' custom school types, and should not affect any custom school types based on Inge's custom schools.

About Me
--- No longer sharing content on MTS ---
I hope to return one day but for now consider me retired, and my uploads unsupported. I still share things sometimes on tumblr and I chat on discord servers, but I do not promise support for things I've shared as I don't know when or if I'm around and whether or not I'll have the ability and energy to do something if I am around.
If you ever downloaded something of mine, thank you! It's a great feeling seeing something you spent time on be useful to someone else in their game, and with all the great CC out there I'm very flattered you would choose to get something of mine.
I do not take requests. I do sometimes make things for people, but only when I see someone wishing for something on the forums and I feel like making it for them. So if you have a mod you wish would exist, make a post in Hacks and CC that you'd like to see!-thread. That's what it's there for after all! :)
A shoutout to VioletPadfoot for inspiring me to try creating, long ago. You gave me the nudge that got me started, and I'm very grateful. I'd also like to thank all of the wonderful experienced creators (gdayars, justJones, maybesomethingdunno, NixNivis, whoward69, HugeLunatic and many more) out there that wrote the tutorials I've used, or that has answered my questions when I've gotten stuck. You guys are what makes learning fun, and what inspires me to keep expanding my knowledge with new projects. Special thanks to Michelle who has helped me a lot when it comes to objects and recolors, and BoilingOil who taught me some modding basics that I needed when I started modding more seriously.
Policy
My policy is now open. I'd appreciate a message telling me about your work, because it's fun for me to see, and it means I know about it and can refer others to it if they reach out. As much as I would like to provide support for my own work, my health is too unstable and I have to prioritize. So if anyone else would like to fix problems or continue something and share it with others, that's great go forth :) If you can learn from my work or improve on it, wonderful. Welcome to ask questions on crafters, if I can I'll answer.
I'd appreciate if people do not share default replacements from my stuff as I do not like default replacements, but I can't stop you anyway so no point in acting like I could. If you want to respect my wishes, I appreciate it, if you don't care then well nothing I can do about it.
Other sites
Only share content on tumblr now. Still retired though so probably nothing, but if something new comes out, that's where it'll be. You can find it linked here on my profile.
