Carnival/Festival Grounds for Sims 4

Hello!

So, I don’t know how other simmers feel about this, but I’ve been thinking about this a lot. I would love to see seasonal festivals back in the Sims 4, similar to the seasonal festivals in Sims 3. Maybe a Carnival or Festival Game Pack. I loved having the festivals in San Myshuno and I would love to see more festivals related to the seasons as something extra to do for fun. There could be a new lot type called ‘Festival Grounds’ where these events will take place. In the calendar, it could be like a tradition or an option that we can check on/off, like “Attend Seasonal Festival” so that it generates in the parks or festival grounds. Maybe we could create our own carnival. I also miss having a stage area for musicians (or magicians/acrobats) to perform and maybe host concerts and performances, while sims could watch, react, throw things at the performers, etc. Contests could be held on these stages like karaoke or dance contests. (Some suggestions would also be good for a theme park vacation world :wink: )

Below, I included descriptions of what would take place in the events and some visuals in the spoilers for each one :smile:

Spooky Festival: Spooky decor, Haunted houses, dressing up in new costumes, trick or treating throughout the park, spooky parade, fog machines, spooky music and group dances (like the thriller dance), wooden rollercoaster, contests like apple bobbing and pumpkin carving, spooky themed face-in-hole photo board, face painting booth, creepy people scaring others, festive drinks like candy corn drinks and pumpkin spice lattes, festive foods like pumpkin pie and candy apples, finding porcelain dolls instead of gnomes showing up, creepy carnival tent with magic shows, spooky themed acrobat performances, etc), meet Patchy

Just wanted to get the idea out there and see how people feel about it.
Suggestions/Comments/Visuals are welcome :smile:
  • i think a Festivals Game would be another into a DLC for DLC

    I love this it's funny cause i was thinking about the sims3 festivals today i lvoed those way more than the city living ones. i also love the ideas you came up with a couple other things i would like to see are
    Kissing booth
    dance floor slow dance where your sims can win and become spring fling king/queen like i the sims 3 and you get the crown as decor like ts3
    holiday greeting card photos gos i miss these so much such a nice personalized decor item
    and with each activity you get those festival tickets to redeem for new items loved that
    snowboarding half pipe
    and the option to twirl together while skating on the rinks
    this and your ideas combined could be an amazing gamepack i think


    Thank you! :smile: The sims 3 festivals were so cute. I do like the city living festivals. But seasonal festivals, however, are something that become like traditions, especially with little contests where you can see sims compete against each other. That's probably why I like the Spice Festival the most, because it has that spicy food challenge. Although, I know, it's not really a contest since you don't see them competing/reacting to each other and people aren't watching those contestants. I like the ideas you mentioned :smile: I think it would be nice to see these things in the game. ESPECIALLY the twirling together on the rinks. I want to see more interactions in the skating rinks, like two sims twirling, holding hands while skating, or helping a sim out that doesn't know how to skate as well.

    In S3, our sims got invited to parties at the homes of other sims. In S4, our sims have to be the host in order to hangout with friends.


    I see what you mean, but not everything happens just in our home lots. The egg hunting can happen anywhere as long as you click on bushes or other items to look for eggs and I've read people's comments about the flower bunny showing up at other locations instead of their home lot. The flower bunny never showed up in my sim's home lot, before or after looking for it in other lots. There are group outings that sims get invited to or that your sim can invite friends/family to, especially with the club system. You can host a party in any lot and like the other comments mentioned, sometimes sims get invited to other parties or events. I get invited to festivals, special nights at the bar, parties, and rabbit hole events all the time. The bar hosts karaoke contests after the romance festival. There are things that sims can do to give the sense of community, but it would be nice to have more activities to encourage that more. Like you said, the game is single-lot oriented, but I don't really see why that would be such an issue, since festivals could happen at the park and we know that the game can already generate festivals and rinks to non-accessible areas on the maps or even in the parks. Maybe having a whole fair/festival going on outside your home/apartment would slow down the game since there would be too much happening on one lot, but they can also just create a new lot/venue type, like festival grounds or fairgrounds, and include new items so that we can create our own.

    Yeah, that's true. It's something I would've liked to see in the Seasons pack originally. So maybe instead of just introducing seasonal festivals, Maybe a Fair pack would be something that could include more seasonal items as well as brand new content and activities for our sims, like a county fair for residential worlds or a theme park world for a vacation desitination (or both), that could include contests, concerts, new careers/hobbies, fun rides and rollercoasters, etc. That way it could be decorated for the different seasons but be there all year round, providing a different experience in aesthetics and activities depending on when you go.
  • I would love this, a festival game pack. It would come with a small world just for the festivals with a few other lots (not a destination world). They would have to make the festivals work if you don't have seasons or do have seasons though. If you have seasons the festivals will follow the seasons and if you don't have seasons they will work like the city festivals. The festivals would be carnival like with carnival type games like Sims 3 festival and the Sims 1 makin' magic and sims 1 vacation.
  • @redrogue60 Yesssss! :smile: well said. This is more like what I was going for. I love your ideas :smiley: I like how you thought of everything from foods, NPCs, and games. I agree that it should be a carnival neighborhood so that we can have a fun place to go to year round and have seasonal activities and foods pop up during certain seasons. It could be a really cute and exciting pack!

    I don’t know if they’d use a whole neighborhood without it being a destination pack. In that case, If it’s a destination, I’d also want it to be like a theme park with themed souvenirs and ice cream popsicles. Maybe llama and freezer bunny souvenirs/shaped foods and mascots. If it’s a giant lot in a residential world, more like a county fair. I think either way, it would be a game changing pack.

    @rosehrtgirl that’s true. It could mostly be a festival pack and Maybe seasonal stuff can come in a patch or just like how if you bought the first pet stuff pack, you’d need the cats and dogs to unlock the full content but I don’t know if people would be too thrilled about that. :#

    I would love a redo/update of the Makin' Magic carnival. A carnival out in a field that looks like a traveling carnival that might not be there the next day. I also would like it to be a normal everyday fun place to go, but at midnight, it turns spooky and everything turns a little wicked. Ghosts, witches, spells if you step wrong. All types of dark fun that all turns back normal in the morning.


    Yes definitely! :smiley: that would be awesome. That idea would go well with the ideas/aesthetics that @Movotti mentioned. I haven't played Makin' Magic but if they bring the same (or similar) concept to the Sims 4, that could be really exciting. If it becomes a carnival neighborhood like mentioned in the previous comments, it would be cool to have the main happy looking carnival and then a section for the creepier, forbidden, abandoned looking carnival that our brave sims could venture off to (or something that resembles a traveling carnival/boardwalk carnival). Maybe that can bring back a revamped version of the gypsy's wagon. :)
  • I am afraid to get the Sims 4 seasons. I have heard it is glitchy right now. I also don't want to have to worry about my Sims freezing or getting too hot. I just love the idea of having festivals though. If there were a stand alone expansion where I could have all these things you guys are suggesting, I could just pretend that the weather is happening. If they made items that had snow on them or had a weathered look, there could be enough to suggest weather without it being so deadly for the sims.

    So they could give us autumn trees and decorations such as marigolds, gourds, pumpkins and corn. Festival booths with foods and plenty of things to do and talk about.

    Then they could have lots of items that had a little snow on them or glazed over with ice. The roof tiles could have snow on them. There could be a grass or snow terrain tool.

    There are already a lot of summery stuff and I don't mind having some more of it, but I would like to see more fall themed things.

    There are probably going to be people have some mods that do all this, but I'm playing without mods. So whatever Maxis wants to add I am up for, even a new stand alone expansion.

    @redrogue60 Yesssss! :smile: well said. This is more like what I was going for. I love your ideas :smiley: I like how you thought of everything from foods, NPCs, and games. I agree that it should be a carnival neighborhood so that we can have a fun place to go to year round and have seasonal activities and foods pop up during certain seasons. It could be a really cute and exciting pack!

    I don’t know if they’d use a whole neighborhood without it being a destination pack. In that case, If it’s a destination, I’d also want it to be like a theme park with themed souvenirs and ice cream popsicles. Maybe llama and freezer bunny souvenirs/shaped foods and mascots. If it’s a giant lot in a residential world, more like a county fair. I think either way, it would be a game changing pack.

    @rosehrtgirl that’s true. It could mostly be a festival pack and Maybe seasonal stuff can come in a patch or just like how if you bought the first pet stuff pack, you’d need the cats and dogs to unlock the full content but I don’t know if people would be too thrilled about that. :#


    Thank you for your praise. Its a destination I would dearly love.

    I guess I am most worried about sims just dying or not having a good time or missing out on something because of the weather. I like the look of weather, just not the inconvenience of it. I like playing the sims without having one more way for them to die pretty easily. I have seen feedback so far and some people report that there sims are dying and they have a hard time recovering the game because after reloading the sim keeps dying on them. Then townies dropping like flies. I just want the beauty without the consequenses.


    LOL well hopefully they make it a world that has sunny yet breezy weather for a great experience! Maybe they'll get a sad moodlet if rides get closed down due to bad weather. I believe they finally fixed the issues of all the sims dying in some of the patches.

    No problem! I would love this pack as well and I have started seeing more people talking about wanting a festival/theme park pack. Hopefully, they consider this because It will be exciting, fun and fresh since it is something different from the other packs. Other series have had small carnivals, sims 1 and 3, but never a whole destination world dedicated to a theme park.

    The world could potentially look like Walt Disney World in terms of how it is divided up, with either a main park or several parks and they each have a different concept, a section nearby for hotels, and a shopping/restaurant area (Disney Springs).

    All these family-friendly tourist attractions is a fun and safe way to bring families together. Camping is family friendly, but I feel like there was not enough included to make it exciting for children and teens. Sims 2, they had log-rolling, new dances to learn, chest pound, meeting bigfoot. The camping in Sims 4 is mostly about gardening, in my opinion. I feel like a theme park would help cater to children more and encourage their imagination to go wild lol

    I'd love to have the log rolling back for the camping area, If we got that and say hammocks I would do some updating in the camping site.

    One of my fav features of Sims 3. Would love seasonal festivals to make a come back. But if given a decent carnival fair pack we could create our own.


    Same! I loved the seasonal festivals and I agree if given a decent fair or theme park pack with a great B/b catalogue, we could make it work! We could always edit lot to add the seasonal things. But we need more content for it, like apple bobbing, eating/cooking contests, variety of fair booths, face painting, etc.

    Oh I like that set up. It's kind of close to what I was thinking of but I was trying to incorporate Seasonal Festivals, County Fairies, and a Coney Island type place. A nice hotel would be great in this environment.


    I think you did a good job incorporating them, I loved your suggestions! lol
    This set up could allow a variety of activities within the world. Almost as big as Windenburg or Selvadorada.

    Park district: Main attractions like roller coasters, kiddie rides, and fun river rides, A main street community area where you can meet characters, buy balloons, see the fireworks show, watch a parade
    Shopping district: Souvenir shops, ice cream shops, smaller attractions (County fair/Coney Island type - ferris wheel and other fair rides), wander off to a hidden abandoned carnival area with gypsy wagons
    Hotel/motel/airbnb district: 5 star hotel, 3 star hotel, 2 star motel, and an airbnb
