What changed in Teen Stories and Activities

Before installing

Install only ONE edition: Standard or No Invite Requirement, never both.
Replace the old files: delete maplebell_teenactivites.package and maplebell_teenactivitesbuffs.package and put the new ones in their place. The file names are the same as in 2024.

Organize a Sleepover and Ask to Hangout at House now work: a yes always opens the outing, a no just says no.
All three hangout asks answer the same way: a middling friendship counts as a yes, a no only comes at low friendship, and after a no the teen waits 4 hours before asking again (with a tooltip saying so).
The two house asks give the same friendship gain and loss as Invite to Hangout.
A friend who says yes to Invite to Hangout now always gets their invitation.
Get Information about Upcoming Parties: each party line comes with its own invitation, and the College Party invitation works again. Parents and step-parents can no longer be asked.
Invitations last one Sim day, survive a save, and every new yes restarts the day.

Grades now count while the teen is still at school, so good and bad grades change the answer as intended. A and B grades count the same everywhere, and the bad-grades refusal works.
A given permission lasts 7 Sim days and survives a save. A no starts a 5-hour wait and cancels an earlier yes.
Uninvolved parents' "You don't need to ask" now really gives permission, and their safety talk gives "You'll Be Okay!".
Authoritative parents now say yes half the time to Chill at Friend's House too (it was always no), and they can scold, be confessed to and be asked about Woohoo. Has Authoritative Parent(s) now shows the same picture as Has Strict Parent(s).
A Strict parent says yes to parties less often than to other outings.
Camping's bad-grades refusal now refuses.
Confess: the teen and the parent get the right moodlets, and it no longer counts as mean.
Only Sims in the teen's household can give permission or scold.

Each locked outing needs the starting teen's own invitation, and friends just come along. If nobody has been invited, a note says so.
Go Out With Date is for teens and unlocks when someone says yes to Ask Out On A Date, in both editions.
House Party, College Party and the Nightclub are for teens and older.
The companion list shows Sims your household has met.
Sims come home together without Parenthood, and Express Disappointment uses a base-game animation.
A cancelled outing still counts: it gives its moodlet, uses its invitation and brings everyone home.
Chill at Friends House uses up its invitation. Each party uses only its own invitation, and the date no longer removes the hangout invitation.
The Nightclub, Restaurant and Road Trip give their own moodlets.
Add Trait and Remove Trait in the settings menu act on the Sim you clicked.

Old Country Club links removed, duplicate texts removed, two broken text tokens repaired.

If you pick a relative along on Go Out With Date, everyone still goes, but the relatives get no date moodlet.
For a sleepover or Chill at Friends House, tick the friend you asked in the friends list, so they come along.
In the No Invite edition the hangout outings are open anyway. The invitation asks still work there, but only the party invitations, and a friend coming along to a party, change anything.
A Strict parent now refuses an A or B student's party ask about one time in six. Permission to Go Out still covers parties for 7 days.
