kids don't care about grand meal

I have my hopes up that someone will make an "all sims care for every tradition regardless of traits and age" mod.

They might ignore the tradition, but that doesn't stop them from autonomously eating the leftovers afterward. At least, that's true of mine.

I don't know, as a child I was never really fond of potato salad and sausages, which many people seem to call a "christmas feast". Actually, I'm still not very fond of it.
I really like that some sims don't care about certain traditions, my loner sim for example skipped Love Day completely which is pretty realistic if you ask me. It also makes it easier to follow the traditions when not every sim needs every tradition to be happy.

It turns out that if a child or a teen is has glutton trait or a toddler has angelic, charmer, or clingy trait, they won't ignore that tradition and instead love it.
Family-Oriented sims will also love this tradition, but only adults can have this trait.

Oh really? I never use the glutton trait. I noticed with toddlers is like that but I never had a child or teen so far that was interested in the meal.

I agree, when I saw that my kids ignore the tradition, I was like "WHAAA?" A good 6 years ago I was still a kid myself and I loved food on Christmas, my cousins do so too, and they're 3-7 years old. I just cried a bit inside when I saw that. Just let my kids be little greedy gremlins for one time, EA! Think of the children! x)

I don't think it's a matter of sitting in the Sims 4, because my sims usually don't stay on their butts or even at dining tables, but roam around somewhere, foodplate in hand. I even couldn't manage to summon them all for the food gathering, because some had routing failures, others were more interested in the gym, and I think only the mother sat down and ate the great meal at the table.

Hm. My teens cared, but then again they LOVE to eat. LOL What troubles me about the Grand Meal, is you only get an Entre. What's up with that? No sides? Gotta have the Mashed potatoes and gravy, the cranberry sauce, the Sweet Potatoes or Yams. The STUFFING. The biscuits, dinner rolls or what have you. All the frills are MISSING. No wonder the kids turn their noses up at it. My grandchildren call the cranberry sauce, the purple stuff. ;)

I know it's not all the trimmings of a "thanksgiving" or "Christmas" meal, but if you prepare multiple meals, including the grand meal (such as asparagus, fruit pie, heck, anything) when you "call to grand meal" on the grand meal, sims will pick random meals from all that is offered. So it is a grand meal in the fact that sims see all meals available as the grand meal and not just the ones listed as grand. :)
