Not a full on release yet, because it still has a couple of issues I haven't figured out yet. For those who tested before, just replace the files. New testers may want to read the little note I put in the zip. Here we go

May Require Ultimate Collection or Apartment Life or Mansion & Garden
Get compatibility patches separately
Fixes and changes from the last time
New interaction: push Do Chores by hand (by clicking on the plant object)
No chores at parties or dates for family (if not set on the job as servant)
Hiring helpers now fulfills corresponding 'Hire NPC' wants + there's a new optional file that will check before rolling those wants if a helper is already hired (normally, only checks for NPCs)
Fixed not being able to eat at food stand (they took plates somewhere else)
Babysitting role for household members doesn't lead to motives being static all the time
Fixed 'ask for knowledge - logic' interaction (it lead to hobby instruction instead, due to small math mistake on my part)
Correctly displaying 'not for you' when clicking on a chair that's not allowed for the sim when the sim is doing chores at the moment
Fixed annoyance that 'grab a plate' or 'eat' would sometimes be unavailable for no sensible reason
Compatibility with other mods
If you use Nopke's color dye mod, you can tune my AssignTablesChairs to NOT highlight tables and chairs for setup
Made compatible with @morepopcorn's Bar Tables mod (zz patch must load after both)
CJ-ApartmentButlers and CJ-CallToMealFix are sort of incorporated, so if you have them, disable or remove them
Made compatible with Laura's 'Nobles Don't Cook' (load mine last)
Made an edit to Midge's 'Playables don't clean plates on community lots' to incorporate Laura's 'Royals Don't Clean' (load after Laura's) (I had no business doing that, it's not even for my mod, honestly surprised at myself for overdoing it, but well, it's done)
Here's how my Helpers folder looks load order wise (you don't have to have all the files):
Live-in tutors set as servants can’t meditate, juggle and do some other personality based self interactions. Tutors who are not servants can do all that, but don't have my custom ask for knowledge and instruct in hobbies actions (it's either this or that situation), unless they fulfil requirements for the normal ingame actions. Fixing this issue would take redoing some stuff, I might get to it later
Queue issues: sometimes, a bunch of cooking or chores interactions would appear at once clogging the queue (you can cancel them); other times, chores action would have no icon (sort of hidden in the queue). Nothing bad, but looks very unprofessional 😁 I'd get to the bottom of this, eventually
