Fixed with patch 1.58
Hey guys!
I found that I had a backup of the StrangerVille patch version. After some hours trying to figure out how to make the game works, I did it so I could test the tradition on that version of the game. You can find my testing on this video.
As you can see, it seems that the problem starts when I install the last patch. Just to clarify things, I tested the game without my mod too and the result was the same that is shown on the video.
The short story is when I played with StrangerVille patch everything worked smoothly, but when I install the Island Living Patch, the NPC's don't spawn.
I would thank if somebody could try the same on their game and see if this a common bug.
Thanks a lot!
For some reason I never expected to see Sims dressed differently for that tradition. I did some research and found a guide listing the holiday traditions.
Quoting from the guide:
Festive Spirit - Be festive and jolly with friends and family. To participate, use festive socials such as Lighting the Holiday Tree, Ask if Good or Bad, or Belly Laugh.
Loved by: Art Lover, Creative, Childish, and Family-Oriented Sims
Ignored by: Toddlers, Evil, Hates Children, Materialistic, and Snob Sims

@EuphorialQueen Actually, on the game code you can see that Maxis added some tuning for NPC's. They force walkbys of sims dressed according to the tradition. (Even, bienchen created a mod to stop that )
Right now I've tried everything I could but nothing seems to work. And I don't know if this is an isolated issue neither.
I made other testing and the Trick or treats teenagers and kids didn't spawn outside StrangerVille. 😕
I wasn't able to accomplish the tradition because there were no teens or kids to ask for tricks or treats on my house door on Sulani.
