Generations: What Sucks, What's Fucked, and What Did EA Get Right by Utter Luck
Slymenstra:
I found to read bedtime stories you had to have the bookcase IN the room, or a book in your pocket, and be IN the room with the child. It doesn't seem to draw the parent sim over the way helping with homework works. But I got it to work after a few queue stomps.
I had to stick a desk and chair right next to the mail box to write thank you notes. This of course looks stupid, but it was the only way. My Sims are not currently high enough in gardening to see about buying seeds.

Hmm I didn't think about the desk thing, thanks... I'll try that next time I play.
However bed time stories really seems to be borked in my game, because the adult sim had books in his inventory (and I kept choosing books from his inventory) and was in the same room as the child. I might try putting a bookcase in the bedroom next time, perhaps that'll work.
This was the first time I could order omni seeds, so I'm not exactly sure how things usually work... all I know is that if I clicked on the mailbox (while having selected the sim who completed the special challenge), I got the option to order the seeds, the sim would walk all the way over to the mailbox and then the action automatically got cancalled from the queue.
Painkiller:
? My teens who learned to drive don't wish it again and neither the parents and writing thank you notes works fine here. I do have a glitch though: a just married couple unable to woohoo in any shower yet their relationship is at the maximum (if that matters). BTW for the bed time story the kid has to have the sleepy moodlet otherwise the option won't appear.
Blech:

In my experience, it's not necessary to stick a desk next to the mailbox, I just had to send the sim to stand near a clear desk (nothing blocking the area where they will be writing) then click "write thank you notes" on the mailbox. The sim will walk to the nearest desk, sit down, and start writing. It doesn't work for me if there isn't a clear desk in whatever room they happen to be standing in when the order is given, they'll just walk out to the mailbox and queue-drop.
Painkiller:
It also worked for me while they're standing near the mailbox, they entered the house to sit at the dining table to write the thank you notes. Table was rather close to the mailbox, like 7 squares away at most. I guess there must be a maximum distance allowed between the mailbox and an empty table or desk for the action to stick. (10 squares maybe?)
