How to trick or treat?

It’s actually very disappointing : your sims can’t go trick or treating, all you can do is wait for a disguised sim (kid or teen) to show up at your door and if you click on them you’ll have a “trick or treat” interaction but it doesn’t really do anything.

Yeah, it sucks. :( All my save games and I've never seen a trick or treater. Halloween is my favourite too so double down the disappointment. I actually ended up removing it from my holiday in my latest save, it feels like less of a let down when no one shows up then.

This feature is broken.....I have actually reported it on the HQ forums and provided a save....hopefully they made something out of it. It seems almost no one is getting trick or treaters spawning.

As for the trick or treat interaction IT IS in the game. It was actually even patched with a holiday event back in the day so they have the code for it, and sims are suppose to actually animate and give a little candy to others. Tricking is just the scare interaction recycled....lol If you threw a Spooky Party you used to be able to use these interactions but they no longer appeared after Seasons. In the same post I did talk about the missing trick or treat interaction so maybe it's looked into, but knowing how this game operates it'll be a year before they fix it if at all.

You'd think though that with Seasons they'd make trick or treating more intricate and add new animations but nope.........

Did you replace it with something? I've thought about replacing it with storytelling, but my current main family lives in Brindleton Bay - aka Rain World - and I don't want to rely on needing a fire pit.

I tried it several times and never had any trick or treaters either. Also I didn't see any other sims wear costumes.

I haven't replaced it with anything yet. Not sure what else to put there but I am planning and thinking on it. Might as well use the space! ;)

In my experience, that's frequently how it goes in real life. The upside is I have a basket of candy all through November. ;)

This is often how it goes in my neighbourhood too! :D

Tried it once and same results. I did try it after Seasons came out and are you telling me they still have not fixed this???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God, I can not deal with this game anymore.
And besides that, Halloween is end of the month, with all their pointless support and marketing of costumes and halloween stuff for console, how can you miss to fix the actual feature in the game!

Honestly they should be adding costumes for toddlers, not YA. Since toddlers weren't around when Spooky Stuff came out.

Since we're on the topic of Holidays...What other Holiday's do you guys make? I do the WinterFest Eve and Halloween, Spring cleaning day and Flower Bunny day.

I've made a Spring cleaning and Flower Bunny day too but I put them both on the same day to save days. :D So in the morning, everyone hunts eggs and gardens, then the flower bunny shows up and everyone cleans! Haha
