I just revamped my calendar a while ago! I always hated how New Year's Eve was placed... right at the end of Winter, because that's not how it works where I live. New Years is right in the middle of winter, if anything.
So here's my calendar. I'm too lazy to describe where each holiday is exactly, but there're all listed in the order that they appear.
Also, each season on my calendar is 4 weeks long (my sims have custom made lifespans that are pretty long, lol).
Spring:
Spring Break: go on vacation, streaking, and party spirit.
Fools Day (April Fools): mischievous spirit
Egg Day (Easter, lmao): egg hunt, flower bunny, bbq
Spring Cleaning: cleaning, of course, and air grievances
Summer:
Pride: party spirit, attend ceremony (which I pretend is a pride parade), art and music spirit, give flowers
Summer Vacation: this is an ENTIRE WEEK long, with each day having various summer related traditions, like water fun and go on vacation. I also included a custom tradition where gives kids get all week off of school, but not the adults (sorry parents).
Simdependence Day: fireworks, bbq, party spirit
Fall:
Spooky Day (Halloween): spooky spirit, wear costumes, trick or treat
Day of the Dead: remembrance, tell stories, attend ceremony
Harvestfest (Thanksgiving): thankful spirit, grand meal, invite guests, holiday gnomes
Winter:
Winterfest (Christmas): decorate, father winter, open presents, festive lighting, festive spirit
New Years Eve: make resolutions, drink, countdown to midnight
Love Day (Valentines): romantic spirit, go on a date, give flowers
And that's it for now. I might add Winterfest Eve and New Years in there, but eh.
On another note, the surprise holidays that the game gives you are... something. Right after my "Day of the Dead" holiday, the game threw in a "Neighborhood Brawl" holiday. Like, "yeah, let's remember the dead then try and kill each other!" :#
