-Updated to fix a few minor tuning errors that I missed (unrelated to the patch)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This small mod adds an extra interaction to bookshelves for children, which gives them the ability to ask any teen or older sim in the household to read a book with them. The interaction works in a similar way to the adjacent interaction that toddlers have. This should hopefully help make completing some of the child Mental aspiration goals a bit easier, as well as any other tasks which require it.
A few notes
-Adult sims will not actually get the book out of the bookshelf - they will immediately just have it and start reading to the child; it may be a limitation of the animations the game has available for children vs toddlers (as the interaction is based off the toddler's interaction - some animations used were specific for toddlers, so I had to make do). However because of this, you won't have to worry about putting the books away afterwards.
-I cannot guarantee that the interaction will show up on all CC bookshelves (this would usually only occur if the bookshelf has custom tuning rather than the basic EA one)
