Calendar and Festivals

Good point, they really should be on the calendar. I guess they are meant to be like surprises, but they could show even if they get there only a couple sim days in advance.

I think there are several areas where the Season EP is not thoroughly integrated with other EPs. Like electronics breaking in the rain (Windenburg outdoors parties + the tech festival in San Myshuno. And there are systems (ie the club icons) that could be better updated to reflect the new features. The weather forecast TV could have shown the prognoses fo the other worlds. Needing to travel there to check the weather seems a tad tedious. I also find it strange that no wal hanging calendars were added with the Seasons EP, I still only have the cat&dog calendar from Cats and dogs ep, plus the Sims in uniform calendar from GTW.

Perhaps we like the calendar feature better than they expected?

I think it's an oversight not to put them in, personally. To be fair, I have only played with Seasons for about 2 hours, but it would be amazing to have a better way to track the festivals. It would also be really cool if the Romance Festival coincided with Love Day.

Tracking festivals would be awesome as they pop up at the most inconvenient times. I agree about getting weather for other towns. My sim went to see his girl and son - ended up in a terrible thunderstorm, he was soaked by the time he got to her door. His son was outside playing in the storm.

It would be nice to have the festivals on the calendar. Most of the time, when I skip them, it's because I wasn't aware the festival was that day and had my sim caught up in something else.

Exactly

Yeah, I'd like the option to plan my sim's day around the festival if I feel like sending them, instead of waiting for the notification to pop up. Most of my sims live in houses rather than apartments so I don't get to use the noticeboard for festival times very often.

Festivals are on a set schedule, they are different for each game but once you know them you can plan your holidays around them. For example I have my seasons set to 14 days. Love Day always on the last day of Spring (Saturday) which is always the same day the Romance Festival happens. This might help to figure out your festival days Carls Guide Festivals

Thanks

Festivals are purposely not to be on the calendar. I’m gonna look for the tweet or post but one of the mods already answered this.

I feel like it'd be cluttered to have every festival on the calendar since each one happens every week. There'd literally be the same thing every week through all seasons.
