president's day sale??
Hi, I recently got back into the sims 4. I haven't played since the get to work expansion and I see all the new ones I'd like to purchase! I read online that I recently missed the February 9th sale ...

@CMeki, yes that would be strange, especially for people who aren't' from the U.S. 😃 But the OP was probably just thinking "EA often has sales on holidays, so what is the next holiday coming up? Oh! President's Day! Maybe they will have a sale then!?!" 🥳 But then again, I would have gladly gotten really into Groundhog Day f(for example) if it meant Sims 4 Games were going to be on sale! 🥳:eahigh_file: (Although Groundhogs are really cute! ❤️ ) But I have an app that is from a country based in Asia. They often have give-aways on holidays I may or may not be familiar with, but I'm always happy to get those freebies, no matter what the reason! :eahigh_file: It also makes me want to learn about those other holidays that people in the U.S. might not be so familiar with! 🥳
Yeah, right now Uplay (Ubisoft) has a Chinese New years sale for example, but that's also like a huge holiday that is not only celebrated in China but many other Asian countries. So I guess it's considered an international holiday, even if it's not a western international holiday 🙂
Last year I were in Hong Kong & Malaysia for Chinese New Years, which was amazing! :D
I've seen that movie about the guy reliving Groundhog Day over and over again, so I've heard about that one! xD
- I didn’t say specifically for the United States. Either way they could still be having a sale right now as it’s the lunar new year. Not everyone celebrates the lunar new year but steam is still making it a sale. Lol
- Unless of course that was the sale I missed as mentioned above on February 9th, but other companies I play games on like blizzard for example, usually have their sales lasting quite some time.
Yeah I guessed you meant an international sale, but having it for the reason of president's day (that I never heard of before) was what I thought was funny 😇
Like I said Ubisoft also has one for Chinese New Year (or Lunar New Year), and it would not really be strange if EA had a sale right now, for something like that, but it would probably focus on other games than the Sims 4 if that was the case, as the recent sale was only for The Sims 4. 🙂The Winter sale that Origin had after Chrismtas was really long though, longer than both Ubisoft, Blizzard and Steam, so I guess that impacts the time until the next really big sale.
I think the recent sim sale was on for about a week or so, for the celebration of the Sims birthday 🙂
But if you sometimes have sales on a day like the president's day, I'd recommend you to check for sales in your local retail stores! :D
Here in my country we don't have stuff packs in those, but expansion and game packs are usually available! 🙂 I also only buy The Sims packs on sale as I'm a student and they're a bit too pricey for me 🙂
Sorry, I forgot to reply to @CMeki from an earlier post! 🤭 Yes! Lunar New Year is huge! Some restaurants here offer some special dishes for the occasion that are only available during this time! 🥳 That is wonderful that you were in Asia last year during the Lunar New Year! 😎
Yes! My husband and I love the movie "Groundhog Day"! ❤️ I always found it odd that while animals often can give us signs about the weather or when the change of seasons will happen, the inventors of this holiday pick the one thing that really wouldn't give us a true indication of such changes! 😃:eahigh_file: Maybe if they make a Seasons type EP for The Sims 4, they can add a groundhog to help our Sims predict Spring! 😇 :eahigh_file:
Oh, that's nice! :D While I love "western Chinese food", the food that they actually eat in China is sometimes quite scary. I'm happy I do not eat meat because my friends got some really weird things sometimes! Although they do have amazing food too, you just have to learn Chinese to order the right things haha! (I studied Mandarin for two years but that's not enough to make out what the menus say) 😇 I'm sure that more expensive restaurants are better at having menus in English, but we were poor students (Hong Kong is expensive), so we usually went to small street restaurants!
I would love to have some special dishes here too though, to change up it a bit. The closest restaurant to my home is one called ChinaThai, so it would be a good opportunity for them! :D
Haha omg, yes, the groundhog in The Sims would be so funny. They're like the size of a cat, so maybe they could add it as an add-on cat-race in Cats&Dogs and also have it in Seasons for those who do not have Cats&Dogs, but not ownable. Maybe as a festival, like the ones in City Living, and the groundhog was there during that event in some form! :eahigh_file:
@CMeki, I would have replied earlier but coincidently my husband and I went on a mini-vacation because he was off work for President's Day! 😃 :eahigh_file: We have never done that before, but we were supposed to go on a short vacation last month but I got a sinus infection and he got the flu, so we postponed it because he was off for Pres.Day. The hotel we stayed at had a big celebration the week before for the Lunar New Year, so that is a coincidence as well! 😉 But it ended the day before we got there.☹️
Yes, food recipes from the country of origin to another country always undergo some changes. But then again, food from one region of a country can differ a lot from food in another region of the same country, especially if the country is large! I've seen some strange things on the television show The Amazing Race! I've also seen some travel show that was talking about Asian dishes , and I was pleased to learn that several of the dishes that came with the City Living EP were actual dishes in those countries! 😎
As for Chinese food, I love spicy food so I usually like Sichuan or Hunan styles of food over Cantonese or other styles. I also really love sour foods, so Hot & Sour soup is my favorite! ❤️
Yes, while ordering food in any language you don't speak fluently can be problematic, the difficulties with trying to read a whole writing system that you aren't that familiar with would be scary when ordering food -- I can see how a translator would be needed! 😮😃
I'm always look forward to new food in The Sims games, so I'm excited that the Jungle Adventure GP will have new foods! 🥳
I love the idea of having a Groundhog Day Festival in The Sims 4! I think it would be extremely funny! 😃:eahigh_file:❤️ And you are right in that it should be doable now that we have Cats & Dogs for a framework. Or we could have giant groundhogs if they utilize the bear and raccoon costumes already in the game! 😇
