Custom "Pirate" themed holiday ideas
I was having fun playing a sim dressed as a pirate during the Talk-Like-A-Pirate Day in The Sims 4: Seasons and I was thinking about a whole pirate themed world like Barnacle Bay, but what would be its holidays if it was themed around them. My setup is for the year to end during the summer, because I was thinking on this pirate island as being on the southern hemisphere, and it goes like this:
(Obs.: I always like to have the first day of each season around cleaning/decorating, because its annoying to have to decorate the hous every single holiday)

Fall/Autumn
Winter
sunday: Winter Deco - Its time to clean your house and decorate for the new season;
wednesday: Davy Jones Day - Today is the day of the almight saint of all pirates, the dreadful Davy Jones. Embody his essence and spread terror around the town, Pick fights and torment other sims. Use this day to improve your mischief skills!;
saturday Flisbulier Fest - The great party to commemorate the legendary pirates from the golden age, invite your elderly sims and throw them a big party over them, with lots of drinking and warm food to get their cold old boens warm again during the winter;
Spring
sunday: Spring Deco - Its time to clean your house and decorate for the new season;
wednesday: Castaway Day - To honor the pirates who survived their ships sinking, doing fasting during all day long and having a big dinner with your family at the end of the night before bed to commemorate that you were never a castaway survivor;
saturday Whale Hunt Fest - The Whale Hunt fest is the pirates equivalent of Love Day. Today, go out with your harpoon blessed by the cupid and go find a beautiful victim to be your new love, or just take your current loved one in a lovely date;
Summer
sunday: Summer Deco - Its time to clean your house and decorate for the new season;
wednesday: Landlubber Day - Newbie pirate? Well, enjoy the hot summer and the landlubber day to learn all water related skills;
saturday Cthulhu Fest - Finally, the last day of the year. Gather your ship crew and family and commemorate that nobody has been cursed by your almighty god of terror and sea, Cthulhu. Share gifts and wait until midnight to great the new year!
Anyway, some of them just don't have traditions to add like learning water skills or making friends, so I just roleplay them. Maybe there are mods out there for that, but I don't use mods. I didn't list the traditions for the other ones, but some of them are just adapted versions of Love Day, Halloween, Christmas/New Year's Eve, so you can make them however you like or just roleplay everything. It was really fun making up the names and meanings. Please, if you have any ideas, share with me. Remember, "deco" days are for cleaning and decoration, no need to take a free day from work, as well as the "day" holidays, since they are only "one" minor tradition to complete. Any holiday titled "fest" is important to the Pirates, so you can gon on vacations and avoid work/school.

- saturday Sharkfood Fest - The Sharkfood fest is the pirates equivalent of Halloween/Spooky Day/Day of the Dead where they sadly remember their loved ones who died and party over the memories of their enemies walking the plank straight to the shark's mouth;
