@CommodoreLezmo Your post is very well written and readable so you don't need to worry on that score! I like these ideas too.
I've added some of my own events to relate to different packs so one example would be a summer fireworks festival which I like to use on Sulani and involves fireworks and bbq and dancing around bonfires. I'd like to be able to set festivals on one of the lots that seems to be a public lot and has locals gathering there with food, etc, but unlike other lots it's not named or editable which is odd. If you have Sulani it's on the top right hand side above the food stall. Since I can't add my festival there I just have it anywhere. Fireworks are currently broken in my game so I can't currently play this festival fully but I did like it when it worked. I'm on console so no mods to help with the many problems in my game. I've not had a chance to play the new Wants and Fears because of crashing, my game is really unstable recently especially since the last update.
I've added the Egg Hunt event with the flower bunny and egg collection. A couple of my retail lots sell the many eggs collected.
When I first added Seasons and saw all of the event possibilities I just went a bit overboard creating loads of different ones lol. I had so many it got a bit annoying so I removed some again!
The ones I don't like are the premade ones like Neighborhood Brawl and Talk like a Pirate Day, Prank Day. I always delete those ones before they happen as they keep returning.

- CommodoreLezmo3 years agoRising Vanguard@simsplayer818 Thank you so much for taking the time and your kind words 🙂
Talk like a pirate day is one holiday I didn't add back to the Calendar. Prank Day became Spring Fools Day (oddly enough being able to change the name of of this holiday made me like it and not click the cross immediately. haha I'm crazy I know) It would be great if these surprise traditions were selectable and you could disable suprise holidays under pack settings. Even that would give players more options. Haha yeah it can be easy to go overboard, I find that long seasons with holiday events mainly being Friday - Sunday on an average weeks works well. I love your ideo about selling the eggs collected on Springfest. Although the flower bunny never seems to appear when I play this holiday. A common problem from what I've read.
I tried to play on my on Xbox the other day and it did seem rather unstable a laggy. So much so I turned it off. The last pack I got on console was cottage living and I don't remember it being so slow or realistically unplayable. From what you've said I'm guessing it's the most recent update that's causing your issues?
I'm really enjoying wants and fears atm so I hope they sort it out soon so your able to experience them. Although I do worry it'll be another underused gameplay mechanic just like the holidays system if pack integration isn't added moving forward. I remember getting Bowling Night on console, as soon as I loaded in I went straight to the calendar to schedule a Bowling Night (the name of the pack lol) and it just wasn't an option, it hadn't been thought off. It's small pack integration like this that makes me feel that even when I have added a small stuff pack or even a kit (a vacuum tradition would be great for Spring Clean Holiday for example) that it's added to my collective experience overall. Pack integration doesn't always have to be big features like the Cats and Dogs integration with Paranormal Stuff. Sometimes it's the little things added together that make for a more fulfilling gameplay experience.- simsplayer8183 years agoHero@CommodoreLezmo I've been having problems with my game for quite a while, I switched to a next gen Xbox last year because my Xbox one was struggling but it didn't improve too much and I get a lot of crashing. I've reported about 80 issues on here lol and some have been fixed but some are really bad. So I've had a couple of breaks from playing it this year and I keep in touch with developments on here. I crashed after about 4 minutes after this latest update so I've left it alone to see if there are fixes on the way. Luckily I've got other games but I really miss my Sims, I've played it since Sims 1 on console and laptop.
A few of my bugs involved the calendar so I had deleted events returning which really annoyed me. I also had holidays that wouldn't complete even though I did all the tasks. But the one I really didnt like was that my Sim got sadness moodlets stuck even though they'd enjoyed the holiday and done everything they were supposed to. The Lottery and Night on the Town were the worst ones for that. My Sims would be sad for hours, the poor things!
I tried to add a bowling night too with no success. But I also tried it with a club and took them all to my bowling alley and tried to get them all bowling. I would have liked to schedule tournaments though.
My game bugs got a lot worse after adding Cottage Living, it's a shame because I really love the content and pack design. It makes a great setting for the Egg Hunt too as I often do that in the Bramblewood.
