Kids can come trick or treating

I am happy about this because I wasn't expecting any Halloween stuff because they never showed it in a trailer. I don't mind that we don't get to take our own kids trick or treating. We can use Spooky Stuff and the fall season to create enough Halloween fun in my opinion. Makes me excited about other features we've yet to see!

Will they come if your lots have the private dwelling trait?

So that sucks. From what I understand your kids can't go trick or treating but other kids can come asking for candy? I refuse to give them candy while my poor sim kids are stuck at home.

I thought to interact with anything on another lot you had to visit the lot first?

I know with apartments you can interact with a neighbor at their door without loading their lot, but I didn't think it worked that way in the other worlds.

Thank you @loutredor
Yeah there's a loading screen for visiting other lots and you need to load that lot before it becomes active so that might become a little tedious if so.
Unless the new patch comes with open neighborhoods :tongue:

One can only wish. Wouldn't that be a big surprise? If they managed to somehow figure out how to make the neighborhoods only open where we don't have to see a dumb loading screen to even go over and ask a neighbor for sugar.

I hope our own kids can give them candy with a sad face. "Yeah, that was the only candy I was going to get this year, but... Here you go, you can take it..."

That would be a dream come true.

My sims never visit their neighbors lol
I can't be bothered to load to the neighbor and load back home. The worst is when you load and the neighbors aren't even home.

Hahah that would be great. "the universe doesn't allow me to trick or treat"

Maybe they could do a trunk or treat (oh wait, we'd need cars for that) or one of the gazillion other trick or treating options people have come up with in recent decades (malls, office cubicles, etc.) None of those would be feasible in this game, so maybe the neighbors could stand just outside their lots. I would like to see neighbors interact more, or at least just be more visible in their own neighborhood.

I was thinking about something more like semi-open neighborhood. You know like in apartments, when your neighbors are loud, you can go and knock at their doors to complain. You still have to load to visit them, but you can interact with the door itself to make them come out. I wonder if something like that would be possible.
