How to trick or treat?

So, I made a Halloween holiday for my sims and there's an option to trick or treat on that holiday. It says Sim teens and children love the tradition but what I cannot figure out is how to do it. I bought the candy bowl and had them take a piece and it didn't complete that task. Do I have to have them go to houses and knock on doors? That's the only thing I can think of, which is real trick or treating anyways.

    It’s interesting that you mentioned the trick or treater coming in and old save. In my save, I had the original holiday and then deleted it when I became overwhelmed with all the holidays during a 7-day week. Later, I changed to 14-day seasons and was able to add spooky day back in. I of course added the trick or treat activity, but I think this is around the time I never got them again.
    I suppose it’s possible that removing the holiday and adding it back breaks it. I’ve done that with the Flower Bunny stuff, too. With some families I opt out if they don’t have young kids. But then I add the holiday back sometime later in the rotation I play for that save. Hmmm

    You might be onto something there.

    This save was a save from when I first started, I've never moved the holidays there, but I also never used to have trick or treaters there. I'm not so sure there's a reason or just a one off. It's probably a dice roll and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't and it just seems to roll that it doesn't for me.

    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.


    Well, that's half-baked, isn't it.
