Sky Lanterns Shouldn't Be Exclusive to Sims With a Certain Trait

Question

I just now saw a sim send up a sky lantern for the first time, and I love this animation!

But here's the thing: Sending up sky lanterns is tied to the Child of the Village trait. I don't think that makes much sense. It doesn't matter that the trait can be given to any sim and that autogenerated sims can randomly get this trait. I think it simply shouldn't be tied to a trait at all, and I think that every sim should be able to do it. Sending up sky lanterns is a thing in many places around the world, and it can be done in almost any place in the world no matter if it's "a thing" there or not. It isn't something only a handful of people do.

I suggest that it should be removed as an idle animation for the Child of the Village trait, and I think that sims instead should be able to buy sky lanterns to send them up. For example: Click on a computer -> Buy a sky lantern -> Sky lantern shows up in the inventory -> Click on sky lantern -> Pick "send up"

If we want to compare it to something similar: How would it look if only sims with a certain trait could send up fireworks?

@SqueamishNerd&nbsp;I agree. The ability to buy Sky Lanterns and allow everyone in the household release them at once would be a beautiful sight and family activity. Would've made a nice festival activity, like the City Living firework finale.

Your idea of any sim being able to buy sky lanterns from the computer and choosing to send them up is great! They look so pretty in the sky!&nbsp;

Pretty and dangerous some severe wildfires have been started by these. It is prohibited by law to use them here.

I'd never noticed this before! I only have a couple of Sims with that trait because they were getting sad if they felt out of touch with Tomarang.

But it would be a nice thing to be able to do. I actually looked at the floating lanterns in Mt Komorebi at the festival of light and wondered if we could interact with that feature but it seems to be decorative only. To be able to all release lanterns would be really cool.

@jpkarlsen Doesn't matter. It's a game. It already exists in the game. It's common in many places around the world. Fireworks also cause fires, including wildfires, and they exist in the game too.
