I was pleasantly surprised with the sim sessions

lol my Sim put on a Bebe shirt and was wearing underwear with it. LMAO I was cracking up. I was less annoyed when a pop appeared and told me I could fix their outfits using the tents and I was like oh! Cool! (Still new to the Sims 4 era)

I cant find it I travelled there at exactly 12 o clock and its winter but I cant find it anywhere any clues???? do I have to go home and back again ?

EDIT Its not from 12 o'clock - it started happening about 12.45 which is annoying as I sent my sims back home thinking it needed to 'reset' or something to work - one stayed behind and the screen flashed up - never mind got there in the end - just would be helpful if they said it wont actually start at 12, you just have to travel there and wait about a bit ....

Sims Sessions is in the Willow Creek Park on Sundays at 1pm.

I was very skeptical of the sessions, it is EA, but to my surprise I thought it went off very well. I really liked the first singer and my sims got a teeshirt of her but the other 2 songs and singers, meh. I liked that my sim had several options with the piano, so when the concert was over, she got up on stage and "jazzed up the place." She's a musician as well and I loved it that all the sims in the area also came up on stage and then a party broke out! I'm definitely going to miss this when it's gone. :)

I actually enjoyed the event - had no idea who the artists were but it was funny listening to them singing in simlish - my sims had a wonderful time :) they got t shirts and the last performer in the black jumpsuit came on when it was dark, so quite late, the young bloke came on at about 4pm, the other girl was earlier about 1pm. My daughter who knows the band that the young chap was in thought it was hilarious and watched it with me as she knew the song :) I liked that the sim could be interactive, we took some photos, cheered etc - that was a nice touch

There are options in MCCC to have 'special' outfits be replaced by your choice of regular outfit.

That said, the autonomy settings I have for MCCC proved stronger than the festival AI's ability to keep people watching. Some few sims wandered off to do things inspired by mods I have from there and littlemssims. But at the start and end most of them were able to stay in scene.

Me too, I want a permanent concert feature. Hopefully one my Sims can participate in too.

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. ?

That's because they usually change back into their normal clothes afterwards. They didn't this time. Don't get me wrong, the t-shirts were cool, I just want to be the one to decide when my sims wear them.

My sims just went to their first festival, and it was a lot of fun!

One of my guys had a keg in his inventory, so he put that out right behind the crowd in front of the stage, tapped it, and it was a PARTY! Even got to see Morgyn Ember tragically fail at a keg stand. :D

I wish there was some way to cancel the NPC townies who get up on the stage to perform AFTER the concert, though. NPC autonomy still seems to take priority over player directed actions for active sims, which is a real shame (as in, if an action you assign your sim happens to conflict with the autonomous action of an NPC, it's not the NPC's action that gets cancelled, it's your sim's action that gets dropped).

One of my sims is a Level 10 pianist, singer, and a songwriter, and I really wanted her to have a chance to perform one of her songs on stage after the festival...but there was no way to get her up there because the NPC townies (who didn't know how to play) claimed the stage for the entire night. :/

Other than that, my sims had a great time.

Oh, and another cool thing...they brought 4 toddlers with them, and the tots were able to use the tents to take a nap, so that worked out well. :)
