@crinrictthanks, yeah i found two other older posts about this issue, yet it has not been dealt with by now - would be great if it could be solved - people who never change those default lots will never run into this issue i guess - that's why it is not so well known. Notifications of the Festivals will come up but then when traveling to the Festivals those areas are simply empty. cya.

Sorry I am just now getting back on this topic. So the lot had been changed in a sense. I had one of my Sims buy a restaurant connected, or next to flee market. I had my sim sell the restaurant and all is back to normal. I thought i'd mention it because (this) information might help a fellow player. Thank you crinrict for trying to help, and actually you did because that's what led me to sell the property to return it to previous lot type. Sincerely,Nina

I think I did look to see if the festivals had spawned in the sky, but I didn't see anything. Though, the issue is that they aren't even on the calendar. For example, the Youth Festival is every week but that never shows up on the calendar. The only event that shows up on the calendar is the Cottage Living fairs. I am not seeing any of the City Living festivals, Snowy Escape festivals, nor the Starlight Accolades. I tested the issue on a previous version of one of the saved file that is bugged which was saved under a different name months prior to the March update, but this one works perfectly fine. I am not getting those two exceptions and all the festivals show up. Any commercial lots that were edited, were edited in both versions yet only one version is bugged. I have tested this between 5-10 times and the only exception that has come up consistently(100% of the time) in the bugged save files is that drama scheduler, story progression exception. My theory is that when that Error Code 0 bug was fixed, it may have caused a file to go missing.

Hi,Thank you all for the help. I really appreciate all the work you all do! I have the same problem and I already tried all of the suggested solutions. But still no luck. Festivals in San Myshuno and Mount Komorebi are not showing up on the calender and if my Sim goes there when the festival is supposed to take place, there is nothing there. When I open up a new save file, everything is back again. I'm considering moving all my sims to a new save....or am I being crazy now?Does anyone have THE answer?Sorry for any mistakes in spelling, English is not my native language😉

Hello,@crinrict In a new game everything works correctly. I get invitations to go places and also can see the festival of snow right the first week on my calender. After playing a (game) day or two, I see Geekcon on Tuesday and the festival of youth in the next week. So yes, in a new save, the problem is solved 🙂. In my other save however, after repairing the game (I did that a few times before, but I tried it once more) still no festivals but the ones from Cottage Living and High School Years. I also tried to uninstall and reinstall the game (I did put my save- tray- and mods folder back tho) but still....nothing. I checked the lots I changed one more time, I'm sure I changed them back. (Made a wedding venue of the Skye Fitness in San Myshuno, and a bar on a residential lot in Mount Komorebi)I was kind of hoping that other peolpe who have had this problem and have already found an answer, would share it here? Or am I the only one?😢

@MzMelonz I'm a bit confused by your title ? Seems to not match your report ?

Do they span in districts your Sims lives in ?

There was a similar report here that was never followed up on be the OP: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Festivals-not-spawning-in-other-districts/m-p/7746985

Hi there,
Thanks for taking the time to respond. When I initially wrote this, it said something about reloading a previous post that I had started, and because this one was erased, I thought it would reload what was erased, but didn't. Therefore, the wrong title was placed and I forgot to change it. The details in the message area are correct, the title wasn't. I just tried to change it to say, "Spice Festivals Aren't Spawning (Console)."

Also, the link you provided is PC and speaks about Mods/Removing Mods. I am on console, so that one didn't help. Sorry for the confusion.

@MzMelonz Thanks for getting back to me.

Do the festivals spawn in the district your Sim lives in or does the Sim not live in San Myshuno ?

They don't spawn at all. First noticed in the area where a sim lived. Then when the festival would come back around, I would be playing with a household that doesn't live in the city. When we'd travel there, it still wouldn't have spawned. So, I tried using a different household, and it still wouldn't. It's just the Spice District having this issue.
Next time I play, I am going to open a different load to see if the same thing happens. I've only been recently playing in one loaded save out of 3.

@Ezekielephar This somewhat sounds familiar. Will need to check later if we already have a thread for this.

@Ezekielephar Could you link them to me ? I'd like to keep them in one thread even if it hasn't been dealt with. I currently don't have time to search for them.
