All good points. I'll talk design about this. There are people who like both directions here but I'm sure we can find a middle ground solution as well.
Just FYI, for those looking for a cheat type solution, you can quit your job for a extended summer vacation and then start that job again at the same level when your vacation ends.
Anyone who is fine with it probably does not take vacations in the game. We need those days for real vacations (Granite Falls, El Salvadorada.) I currently have 47 holidays in a sim year, (including a full month of summer vacation.) With the current system, none of my sims will ever have vacation days to use as they were intended.
47 days off of work and school? That's quite a lot.
Yeah, but like I said, it includes a full month of summer vacation. So 47-28= 19 real holidays. Now that I know about the vacation days, I've reduced summer vacation to two weeks. Also, some of my holidays do not require days off, like Earth Day, Halloween and The Purge.

Or they don't use traditional 'jobs/careers' for their income. ;)
That too. I'm hoping they consider making holidays unpaid and letting us keep our vacation days instead of adding a cheat. That would supremely suck.
Lolz you made a Purge Holiday. How does that work?
I think it would be really nice if there was an option to save a holiday/event (for people who have little or multiple) so that when the new year comes around again we won't have to re-add it unless we choose to (likewise, to move it up a day to coincide with how real calendars work) :smile: .
Lol, yeah. The Purge is my most anticipated holiday atm. I started in Summer with 4 week seasons, with The Purge occurring on the last day of Summer. It'll be a little while, but I can't wait. Currently, the traditions are Air Grievances, Fighting, and Fire. I am hoping that one of my favorite modders will add a 'Violent' tradition to make it more realistic. And scary. My sims might have to stay indoors on that day.
Holidays are saved every year and do not need to be re-added but events only occur once. Can you imagine me trying to recreate 40+ holidays every year? :D
