I was pleasantly surprised with the sim sessions

I enjoyed the music, and the one time that I went, I thought it was a good mix of played and unplayed sims. I was amused that some of my played sims were exactly the ones I would have chosen to show up... they looked very appropriate for the setting, and a couple of them were ones that I actually was planning to have my sim befriend at some point, so this was a nice organic opportunity to do that. Could be just a fluke, but it was fun.

The only thing I think is a little unfortunate is that while they picked a lovely spot for it, it's a bit farther from the park than I expected, so it wasn't as easy as I hoped to move back and forth between the festival area and the park between sets.

The show & the atmosphere were great, but I didn't appreciate having to restore several of my sims' outfits because the developers still somehow think arbitrarily changing our sims outfits is acceptable despite the numerous complaints about it.

My sim brought along a bike because I kinda expected it to take a bit of time to get over to the stage. Unfortunately this is only available with university or eco lifestyle.

The outfits changing into these of the festivals... Doesn't that happen in San Myshuno and Mount Komorebi's festivals either? Nobody is complaining about that. ?

A lot of simmers aren't happy about those situational outfits but they are supposed to dissappear afterwards. With those festivals the non played sims only temporarily get an outfit for that situation or festival. If you visit them afterwards, they have returned to their normal outfits. With this summer of sims festival, they apparently keep the festival shirt as a permanent outfit.

I loved seeing the excitement of my sims, it was lovely.

Then you've probably missed all of those threads and posts. I just complained about this exact thing myself in another thread the other day. Many people have been talking about wanting an "opt out" for situational outfits since City Living came out.

I absolutely can't stand when the game takes over my Sims and changes them. Random townies, whatever, I don't care, but all of the Sims I create and put hours of work into should be untouched.

A mod for the outfit changing: OOPS! wrong link. Off to find the right one...

Thanks for everyone’s input
I didn’t know the T-shirts where permanent till I saw sims walking around in them I thought they would change back to normal after they went home but nope so after the 7th a may have to go round and change that or they might disappear after this event has finished I don’t mind my sim having there T-shirt as she wears it to the Show but I don’t really like the English text in game it bugs me
My sims went again today but I forgot the cooler so next time I’ll take sparklers and a juice keg I can’t believe how much I’m enjoying this feature I might miss it when it’s gone
