I think that is a hot apple cider stand for fall, that's what it looks like to me anyway.

I'd love me some hot apple cider in the fall :love:

So does Russel, as you can tell by his smirking eyes xD

Yes, and I really like the fact that the seasonal stands will pop up in neighborhoods. It will make the space around the lots feel more alive, for sure.

Agreed. Soooo stoked about that one!

I wonder where our sims will get the umbrella from?

From their back pocket ;)

I'm sure I read somewhere that there is a buyable umbrella stand, so maybe we can click on it to purchase umbrellas?

I AM LOVING IT! Holiday customization and calendars are something I thought I'd never see from The Sims or even thought of as a useful mechanic but they are GAME CHANGERS! We are going to be able to customize our Sims' worlds and personal lives more than ever. By making our own traditions it will add personal flare and variety to the game. With news that the worlds change with each season, I am getting vibes of the festivals from Sims 3 where you'd get a new one each season. This expansion seems like a great mixture of the old with new features to boot! Great job Sims Team!!!

@filipomel I don't know how to express what I mean in English, but it doesn't look very detailed. It looks like a quick drawing.

@SimTrippy Think there was a cupcake stand in City living though, which was situated in the area near the gym and lounge.

Sim seemed to enjoy autonomously going and getting fat from this :V Though I wonder if they added more cupcake flavors? Looks like a stall that probably comes along in spring time.

Still nice to see options for sims to go to stalls and not have to go to the grill all the time. HOPEFULLY, that means I won't see sims BBQing multiple foods all at once filling the picnic tables and then putting them on the ground because they'e wasteful. :lol:

You're right there is one in San Myshuno @LadyKyn ! But it's not always there right? But I do remember people leaving cupcakes lying around a lot :D

Some more nice details:

I'm curious as to whether Sims autonomously perform traditional activities or not. If your holiday is set across your save game and you visit a public lot to undertake a tradition - say, doing BBQ in summer at a park - will other Sims visiting the park be celebrating by performing those activities? What about guests to your active household/lot?

Also, Sims team, please stop adding FX to so many interactions! I would rather my skating sims not sparkle as they twirl, no matter how much they're feeling their fantasy while they do so...

Saddened but not surprised the holidays is basically the club system with a different name. For those that like clubs, I can see the appeal but for me it’s just more unnecessary recycling rather than something new.

Also under the “official holidays” is that a check list with the whole “complete things to get aspiration rewards?”

Why re-invent the wheel every pack? If a system like the club system can be adapted for use in different functions, that gives them more resources to provide more content. If they had to create a system from scratch, we might not have gotten the glass roofs, or improvements in gardening, or the skating; there was a thread in Spec and Rumor wondering if skating would be in an SP.

Did anyone else notice this? it seems like a new world. I say this cause I never seen a food stand anywhere other than city living & pet packs. I could be just seeing things.

I'm glad you posted that picture because I was about to comment on the frozen water, at 0:18
It looks really bad imo, I hope it looks better in game

It's likely the lighting -- it's a cloudy day so you don't have the sun to brighten things up.
