Journey To Batuu Positive Thoughts Thread

Found some more holidays:

Festival of Light - mid year, parties & presents
Festival of the Stars - no date given, celebrates space travel, this will go wherever I need it
All species day - Coruscant only, no date given, in my First Order colony this will either become an underground/resistance holiday or the FO has turned it into a human supremacy show, I haven't decided what route to go with this
Carnival week - includes public executions, I'll put this into late winter and probably give the convicted sim a chance to survive if they are a played sim
Empire Day - found a date: 19th day of 3rd month
Life Day - I'll put this on the first day of winter, because of the Thanksgiving/Christmas inspiration, but without a give gifts tradition
Unlife Day (non canon) - already covered
Founder's day - wherever I need it

Will post again when I have everything sorted out :)

I have Streaking slotted for "Unlife Day", along with Apprecciate Object (electronics), Cleaning (put yourself into your droid's shoes) and Fasting (to better value your household droid's cooking next time). A droid's nakedness sounds like something droid activists would point out, and imitate to provoke people. And then regular folks use that as an excuse for mischief :p

I wouldn't mind having an actual pod race in the game. Or more like a soap box racing SP for kids.

Some holidays that might be good for your save are Empire Day and Republic Day. They are pretty much exactly what they sound like and would make good First Order and Resistance holidays, respectively. Many of the old canon Star Wars holidays (I have no idea how many, if any, survived the Disney EU-nuking) are planet-specific or celebrating anniversaries of important battles.

In my saves though I just follow a generic Wheel of the Year inspired calendar for all my Sims.

Empire Day sounds just like what I need. Does it occur in a specific Season?
Assuming it's a military parades and cheering/flag waving from the crowd thing, I think I'll use "Attend holiday ceremony" (must attend the march), "Fireworks", "Decorate" (the flags from the Batuu GP), "Games" and "Tell (war) stories".

All of these sound like really great holidays! Maybe a modder could make a "play Sabaac" tradition. That would be quite useful, I think. I wouldn't mind being able to make a Pod Racing Holiday, with drinking, fighting, attend ceremony (for the race), and Sabaac. I would probably throw streaking into the mix too. I try to fit that one in when I can. :D

That's exactly what it is! And I don't know, but it shouldn't be too hard to look up, since it's the anniversary of the Fall of the Republic and that's all tied to movie events.

I reached a big milestone in my Detroit save and plan to start a new Star Wars save for a change of pace, a cross of BACC and Batuu gameplay with my favorite premades.
