Holidays are a crucial part of my gameplay and I’m devastated that half of my household now can’t participate in them.

EDIT: I have modified the title and the post to rectify this only happening to the ‘oldest’ three Sims, as this issue seems to be affecting Sims of all ages. It’s clear though that the same Sims are affected each holiday.

EDIT 2 (5th Nov 23): Thank you to @JonaO703  for discovering a pattern in this bug - it seems to be that in households where only 3 Sims receive the holiday box, it is the first 3 in Create-A-Sim. The order of Sims in a household can be different in Create-A-Sim than it is in Live Mode, which could explain why it’s not always the oldest Sims who get the holidays. I urge everyone to check the order of their household in the Create-A-Sim menu and to let me know if this is the case for you!

EDIT 3 (15th Nov 23): Thank you to @Haylianna for  letting me know that the order of Sims in Create-A-Sim can change, so it may not necessarily be the same Sims affected by the bug each time! 

EDIT 4 (4th Feb 24): I’ve just seen the Sims Direct Communications tweet that this bug will apparently be fixed in the next bug patch. Safe to say, I am very disappointed that it’s taken over 3 months to fix something that has rendered the holidays aspect of Seasons completely useless. Thank you to everyone who’s given their support to this thread, and I can only hope they will actually fix this properly and not break something else by doing so.

Edit By Crinrict: Added Tag to Title. Please add pack tags yourself. Thank you.
