Calendar and Festivals

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.

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

My festivals are often random. Like this past Sims week my Sim had just the High Jinx festival and the Spice festival. Last week she had the flea Market, the Spice festival again, and then the Romance Festival. This week they had nothing for 4 days then had the one with the Electronic ones, then nothing for 3 days, and then another flea market with nothing on the tables, just 2 sofa's, 1 chair and 4 tall lamps on the rugs. Seem like when it hit the last hour 3 desk lamps popped up on 1 table but no seller to be found. Not that I wanted one - it was just the point. I also am not finding any packing boxes my sims can look through for snow globes either - not since at least we got Vampires. I know I checked every where. The deco ones don't allow checking.

There does not seem to be regular sequencing. Also isn't there supposed to be an art festival? I have not seen one announced in ages. But I get flea markets a lot, the spice festival a lot, and the Hi Jinx (which is the most boring one to me) - My fav is the Electronic one - and it seem it takes forever to get another one of those.

I know we once had art festivals as I recall my sim doing the street art and did a painting on an easel for a contest as well. Where'd it go?

But how are you going to have these on the calendar when they suddenly start going random.

I don't use cheats, mods, or CC ever either.

I also do not have any sims living in apts - maybe that has something to do with it - but I don't care for the Apts, I get too annoyed with the limits of trying to make it my own - so I just send sims to the CL venues and the festivales. Maybe you have to live there to have more regular festivals. I have no clue. I just know I cannot plan on having any in my game. It's always a surprise.
