So this mod has a bit of a backstory.

In 2021, kis77 released a tuning mod Child can repair, tinker and upgrade. This was a stretch mod, and I'd recently learned out to convert adult animations to child. I was eager to use this new skill, so I charged in and converted an insane number of animations to go with those actions. To jump to the end, I learned that I had a whole lot to learn about converting animations.

Jump to now, when I have in fact learned a whole lot more about animations. I decided to convert a bunch of handiness animations in a way that actually worked.

Standard disclaimer: The animations are not perfect. The beginning of the sink repair animation, where the sim is showered with water, is janky. The original animation has the feet standing very far apart, and I had a hard time adapting it to standing on a stool. But overall, they're serviceable.

This is less ambitious than kis77's tuning mod. It is just tinkering and repairing base game objects. No upgrades. The objects that can be repaired are:

Toilet
Sink
Shower
Bathtub
Dishwasher
Washing Machine
Trash Compactor
Stereo
Computer
Television

BIG WARNING: This is just a tuning mod with animations. Anything that happens to an adult can happen to a child, and that includes electrocution. I actually converted the electrocution and death by electrocution animations. I was a bit surprised to learn that the game will happily let a child die the same way an adult can. So be careful with your kids repairing anything electrical.

For those who use s3pe, you can change the Handiness skill to allow it to show up in a child's skill panel by editing the Skills XML resource in GameplayData.package. If you already have kapaer's No Stretch Children Can Series, edit the version in kap_children_can_check_skills.package.
