Holidays you've created?
What are some holidays you've added or created in your games? I just added Halloween and Easter, because they seemed like obvious ones. But there's so many potential options!
Forum Discussion
In addition to all of the premade holidays, I added:
Easter (Flower Bunny Fest): flower bunny, grand meal, holiday ceremony, hunt for eggs. (early spring? I can't remember which day)
Parents Day: give flowers, give gifts, grand meal, holiday ceremony. Late spring
Farmer's Market Day: gnomes, gardening. Beginning of summer
Summer Cookout: BBQ, fireworks, water balloons, watch sports, invite guests. Sort of a hybrid of the 4th of July and Labor Day, on the last day of summer.p
Halloween (Spooky Fest): costumes, trick or treating, decorate... I can't remember what else I added, but probably invite guests. Mid-fall.
Hiking Day: travel, fire, bbq, tell stories. Last day of fall. I take the household to Granite Falls (or potentially the jungle).
WinterFest Eve: bake, decorate, tell stories, holiday lighting, holiday spirit. The night before WinterFest, of course.
I love so many of the creative ideas I've seen in this forum, and I'd like to add a few more holidays, but I'm struggling with this: I was planning to switch to two weeks per season, but when I tested it out, all of my holidays ended up scrunched into one season, which is not helpful. So here are my questions:
(1) Is there a way to keep an existing holiday exactly as it is, but edit it to solely change the day? I couldn't find a way, and I'm guessing the answer is no, but I figure it doesn't hurt to ask.
(2) If not, it's easy enough to delete the ones I made and recreate them, but I'm worried about the premade holidays. I don't want to screw up, say, Winterfest or New Year's Eve. Has anyone here changed the season length and recreated the original holidays? Have you experienced any glitches when doing so, or do you have any recommendations to avoid problems with doing so?
