To kick things off, one of the most significant features of this expansion pack is the calendar. So, let's talk about it! The calendar includes all upcoming holidays. Each one includes traditions to complete that make progress toward your Sim having an awesome time celebrating. Plus, predicted weather conditions can help Sims plan ahead. You'll also see the schedule of your Sim's household while checking out the calendar, including when they have to go to work. And to make even more planning possible, Sims' birthdays will be featured on the calendar. Pop open some nectar (for New Year's, that is) because all this and more will be in one place. Now that's an organized Sims game.How do you think this is going to work?I have a feeling it's going to have a major effect on gameplay. Similar to the group feature in Get To Work.https://twitter.com/SimGuruEmory/status/1005102692513898503

I have a feeling once people actually get their hands on this calendar it will make especially those happy who love to micro manage everything in their game! I seriously could care less about all those popup notifications, I seriously am looking forward to this calendar as we can see Sims birthdays in advance and can plan ahead! All the holidays are also listed etc. I think this feature alone will make people happy. Right now everyone can say what they want, but I know once it's out, they will love it :wink:

This sounds exciting! I wonder if my sims will have birthdays on the calendar if I play with aging off?

Do you think it will be a board we can hang like the Family Bulletin Board from Parenthood or will they add a new icon like the Club icon from Get Together?

So it sounds like the events listed in the previous blog to get ready for the Fall Harvest(forgot what it was called) are sort of pre-reqs/goals leading up the the event. So it would more of an event planning feature then just a calendar. If so, it seems like it's going to be awesome! I'm looking forward to it!

I wonder how the birthdays will work? Actually I guess it'll just be whatever day they're supposed to age up on, wherever that happens to land seasonally. Makes me wish Zodiac signs made a return! Calendar sounds like it'll definitely be helpful in keeping track of stuff.

No doubt that it’ll be like the one from parenthood. Just recolor it and add different options.

For a moment I thought "OH I hope it is an object!"

Then, wait, no never mind. My sims are obsessed with the Family Bulletin Board. I don't need something else that they refuse to leave alone! :D

I have a feeling it is going to be rather good.

I remember when Get Together was coming out and I first heard about the club/group system and I thought - Is that it? - and was most disappointed, but when I actually got the EP I thought it was a great feature that could be put to many uses.

(Though you only actually need a cake to age sims, not a full party)

Exactly my point! :wink: Once the calendar is out people will scream for it in future iterations for the Sims, mark my words! because I see it as being some major help for organization!
