Holidays you've created?

I added Baby making day :smiley:

Guy Fawkes’ Day

I’ve recreated the festivals from Sims 3 Seasons as Holidays, I even built a basic park with four variations, one for each season, that I have saved to my gallery, so when the new season comes around I replace the current park with the park for the season.

Right now I have given up on using the feature as holidays keep not working as intended, disappear from the calendar, and sometimes during them. Yesterday, I had my festival start like it was suppose to, but then when I went to a bar to help celebrate it...it disappeared. Even the created ones like skill day have this issue. I give up until I can figure out what's causing it.

Yeah, there's a bug related to travelling to another lot during a holiday event. Hopefully they'll fix it in August's patch, but until then best to stay on your home lot. Travelling to another lot on a holiday can also cause Sims who are at work to come home early.

I had the same problems traveling to lot on holiday event, but the third time I was lucky enough to send my sims on a date, then as they went home It crashed. I hope there's a fix as I have made a children day where they go on vacation to cherish there loved ones.
I might add a brother n sister day.

Aha, Easter is not default, no wonder I did not run into the Bunny! LOL

I intended to create "Water Fest" in Winter, in Oasis Springs only. Was thinking of them having more rain then and water games and pools etc would be a good arena etc. But then it showed up as a global holiday, so I guess I'll just drop it. Would be weird celebrating water i Winter elsewhere. I had a short list of world specific holidays, but I realize it's not working that way.

For spring, I changed 'Love Day' to the more traditional 'Valentine's Day'... also, I added Easter Sunday. In summer, I decided to reintroduce 'Leisure Day' (from Sims 3). When fall comes around, I have 'Halloween', 'Thanksgiving', and 'Black Friday'. Then winter has 'Christmas Eve', 'Christmas', and 'New Years Eve'.

Valentine's Day is obviously all about lovey dovey stuff! lol Watching romantic TV, giving gifts, giving flowers, and doing romantic interactions.

Easter Sunday is a combination of the traditional Easter and April Fool's Day. I decided to make the traditions involve the flower bunny, egg hunting, and being mischievous. I also made it a tradition for my Sims to have either a grand breakfast and/or ham dinner.

Leisure Day involves anything related to summer and partying. I decided to make the traditions involve water related activities, along with drinking and fireworks. I also added campfires and stuff like that. Also, barbecuing.

Halloween involves wearing costumes and trick or treating (I really wish our own Sims were able to go trick or treating though). I also put the spooky tradition that requires listening to spooky music and interacting with the supernatural.

Thanksgiving is basically harvestfest with the more traditional name. I have my Sims be thankful, watch sports, baking, have a grand meal (usually Turkey), and decorate. However, my tradition of decorating on Thanksgiving is actually getting set up for Christmas. That's always how my family did it as I grew up, so I added that to my own game! :smile:

On Black Friday, I originally wanted to use the traditions that 'Night On The Town' has, but that unfortunately isn't an option for us to customize our own holidays with... which is kinda disappointing. So, instead of that, I just made it another day when Sims are thankful. I also added the "appreciate object" tradition as well. Also, giving gifts is a tradition as well.

Christmas and Christmas Eve are both almost the same... but on Christmas Eve, they don't open presents. That waits until Christmas actually comes along. On Christmas Eve, I have my Sims lighting up the tree, baking, and winterfest spirit. The same goes for Christmas, except they get presents this time! :smiley:

And finally, New Years Eve... the traditions are counting down to midnight, drinking, and stuff like that.

The only holidays my Sims don't have off from school/work are Valentine's Day and Halloween. I made sure they have all the others off. I live in the United States, so I kinda based it on what I grew up with. All the holidays I created in my game are real, except for leisure day (which is from Sims 3).

My seasons are four weeks long each

Coachella (Oasis Springs Exclusive) - a Music Festival in the Mansions Areas of Oasis Springs.

How do you get a corn/wheat maze? I don't see that as an option in my game... What about the music festival?
