    No idea, but I'm hoping that the ceremony includes sitting and listening to someone speaking at the podium. Would be a decent way to simulate a church.

    Get Together: Have a club gathering, City Living:Protest-Labor Day? Vampires-Compel for a deep drink, OR-Camp in a tent?
  • Wow, I didn't even know about all of these! I missed a chunk of the stream yesterday so I'll have to re-watch. This makes me very happy though :smile: can't wait to play!

    Fasting is a tradition for some holidays. It's pretty cool that the Devs remembered the ability to make non-western holidays.

    I hated believing in the passing of time before, because of the eternal summer. Now though, I will like it much better.


    Yes! I have an Arabic Muslim family in my game and I am so happy I can now create Ramadan! :smiley:

    @catloverplayer I think that's just a new interaction, not an actual tradition.
