Let me get permanently rid of Neighborhood Brawl day

I hate Neighborhood Brawl. Primarily because it's bugged so sims get negative sentiments about brawling on Neighborhood Brawl day.

If I cancel it in the calendar, it says the holiday won't reappear next year. But it always does. I'm sick of it.

Same goes for Talk Like a Pirate day, Prank day, whatever - let us remove them permanently if we want to. Make them recreatable in the calendar if someone misses them, sure, but I don't want to see another Neighborhood Brawl as long as I play.

    @simsplayer818 Thank you! I feel like this is by design and EA might just remove the "won't appear next year"... but hopefully they realise how many people hate these holidays.

    @wayward_daugther I hope so. I can delete Winterfest and Harvestfest but not others. I check the calendar most days to delete them before the event happens.
    But I'd just like them gone!

    @wayward_daugther and @simsplayer818 , if you catch the holiday before it starts, you can change what the interactions are that satisfy the holiday.  For example, for Love Day with my single Sims who aren't interested in dating, or for my really large households where I don't have time to mess with the more difficult holidays. I just change the holiday's requirements to "decorate" because it is easy, and "watch Romance TV" because that is really easy! 😄 I do this because it is an easy way to get Aspiration Points, and you can't do that if you delete the holiday! 😉 As far as I remember this holds across each year, or at least it used to, as I haven't tested it in a while, mostly because I've been trying out the Lovestruck pack and I wanted all the normal activities for that holiday.  

    Also, I love "Talk like a Pirate Day" because it is funny and fairly easy to accomplish for those Aspiration Points! 🥳

    @PugLove888 That's a great suggestion 😁!
    I don't know why I never thought of that because I've done this with other pre made holidays. I'll definitely try that out.
    Talk like a Pirate day isn't too bad as I found using the pirate option on the morning shower fulfills the requirement.
    The Lottery annoys me as it makes all my Sims sad for a whole day because they never win and Sadness moodlets are my pet peeve. Rebate Day never works, it just doesn't register and my Sims are sad again. I could add other activities to those days to try it out. I'm building this week but I'll try it on my new household.

    @PugLove888 Oh yeah, I'm trying to do that for all instances of the holidays I dislike! But it takes time. I think I'm close to squashing out Brawl, I keep replacing it with "Peace Day" where they just appreciate an object. But it's annoying.

    @simsplayer818 and @wayward_daugther , well I tested it again, and unfortunately the Neighborhood Brawl is one of those holidays that can't be altered! 😢  But some holidays like Love Day can be altered to fit your needs!  So, you have to check each holiday to see which can be altered and which can only be deleted.  Sorry about the confusion! 😅

    @PugLove888 Ah that's ok, hopefully we'll be able to delete them permanently one day! 🤕 I don't tolerate violence in my game lol. I feel the same about the Roughhousing Nap.
    I do think it's a bug since Winterfest and Harvestfest are easily deleted and because when they are deleted there is actually a warning to tell you it's permanent and the holiday won't come back, but it does. So I hope it's fixed 🤞.

    @simsplayer818 it could be a bug.  But I guess it isn't a pressing one compared to other bugs.  However, Neighborhood Brawl can be deleted, just not altered.  Love Day can both be deleted and altered. I think all holidays that came with the game can be deleted, but only the larger ones can be altered. (And by deleted, I guess I mean deleted for one year at a time! 😅😉)
