Allow Children to Volunteer Alone

A mod to any sim child or older to volunteer alone or with up to 7 other household sims child or older. You can find the interaction under Travel on the phone or under Household on the computer. It doesn't alter anything else, just lets kids go out without an adult.
I made this primarily because I don't always want my sim's parents to go with them when they're volunteering. Volunteering is one of the ways to build character values, especially empathy, which I find difficult to build without spamming playing with the doctor playset as a child.
It's also not as realistic in historical settings, when children were less constantly supervised by their own parents but were still supervised by the community they lived in, and I find it believable that in modern times they could be meeting their friends/classmates and volunteering together (I tried to make that part of the mod, but it didn't work out).


It counts for anything that requires Volunteer as a Family, like aspirations.
This is an override, and will conflict with other mods that override the same files:
160371<!--phone_simPicker_GoToVolunteerEvent-->
160372<!--computer_Picker_GoToVolunteerEvent-->
including DanitySimmer's More Volunteer Activities. It should not conflict with Waffle's Volunteering Gives Fame or KimikoSoma's Volunteering lasts longer. Those are the only volunteering mods I know of.

Requires Parenthood, or there's no volunteering to unlock.
