I'd say it's just replacing the normal school dances with prom. We had at least one semi-formal dance every season school was in session and then we'd have informal dances just for because, or dances for like Halloween and stuff. Instead of making a bunch of different themed dances, (which would probably be more difficult and cause even more bugs,) I assume they called it all "Prom" just because it's the easiest solution and allows them to do the most with it.
- CommodoreLezmo3 years agoRising Vanguard@vyvexthorne I wish it was as simple as pretending but unfortunately my issue isn't necessarily with how frequent prom is. It's the fact that it stops you from being able to plan holiday events on a Friday and Saturday full stop. ☹️

@CommodoreLezmoAhh.. I play with the calendar on two week months. The school events are only "planned" for 4 weeks so I can scroll down past that and add holidays on any days because nothing is planned yet.
There seem to be two ways around this predicament.
1. Households without kids can still create holidays on those days, so you simply go to an un-played household that doesn't have kids, add the holidays when you want, save, go back to your household and the holiday will be on the calendar. You can un-favorite the other household from the manage household tab which will reset them back to a non-played household after that if you want.
2. Go to the settings and set the calendar for longer than a 7 day month, scroll down past 4 weeks and enter the holiday you want on a Friday or Saturday. Go back to the calendar length settings and make them a 7 day month again. This will move the holidays you created into the days that you can't create holidays. (I think the first option is the easiest though as you don't have to try to calculate where the holidays will get moved to.)- CommodoreLezmo3 years agoRising Vanguard@vyvexthorne Great suggestions and hope it can help others. I've decided however to remove High School Year from my game. ☹️ It's just not compatible with a long lifespan without 'working around' the problems. Already have to work around so much in this game as it is. Appreciate your help and suggestions though so thank you.
