Stay Home From School - Keep germy kids home! **Now Overhauled!!**

Here is a mod that has been sitting in my mods folder for ages; for so long it now even has a conflict (see below for info).

BRAND NEW:  This mod has been overhauled to give players a choice to send a child sim anyway. Be free and be bad sim parents to your heart's content :p

What it does: adds all GTW illnesses, SOL Sicknesses (checked for by Visit Hospital) + SOL Preventable Diseases, Private Practice custom illnesses (though PP users DO NOT need this mod; see IMPORTANT below), Healthcare Redux illnesses, and Toddler Sicknesses to the game's "sickness database" list of sorts. The game uses these 2 test sets to determine if a sim child should miss school. In vanilla gameplay, it only checks if a sim has any of a handful of symptom buffs from GTW; this package changes that and makes a sick child sim stay home as long as they have the sickness itself.

**NEW** Players now have a choice to keep a sim child home from school or not. Be warned though: a sick child's school performance will be negatively impacted by going to school while not feeling their best.

**IMPORTANT**

IF YOU HAVE PRIVATE PRACTICE: You DO NOT need this mod because this is integrated in Private Practice already. PP illnesses are included on this standalone list for sake of consistency. This standalone version is meant for players who do NOT have PP installed.

One of the xmls altered DOES conflict with KawaiiStacie's Visit Hospital mod, but you can very easily use both mods by putting the Stay Home From School file in a folder using a letter that comes before wherever you choose to put the Visit Hospital mod. For example, put the Stay Home From School in a folder that says "AAAAStayHome."

Stay Home From School does also check for the same buffs as Visit Hospital, so you will not have to worry about losing functionality, and can use Visit Hospital the same way you usually would.
