Love Day In the Spring?

I noticed that too, but if I want to bother with it, I can set love day (and even call it Valentines day) anywhere I want in the calendar.
Valentines day tends to be overrated to me anyway irl, despite being an inveterate romantic given the chance.
Obligatory romance is a self-contradiction and I always wonder: is it better to just agree that Valentines day is a bananas contrived holiday for getting yo eat candy in school and put pressure on people to buy flowers, cheap chocolate and so on? Or is it best to try to do something genuinely impressive as a show and declaration of love, lest my SO feel let down if I don't?
I am so on board with your thinking. I much prefer for romantic gestures to be spontaneous IE real, over the contrived have to get my partner this, that, or the other thing. I used to get vexed any time a good friend of mine would ask me what my husband gave me for Valentine's Day. We were on a shoe-string budget having three kids and I didn't work outside of the home. I have no need for jewelry, other than a cross and my wedding rings. Normally, we would just have a quiet dinner at home. Feed the kids early and then send them off to watch TV or something. Often, we would set up the card table in our bedroom and eat our 'intimate' dinner there. I could remove the 'holiday' beforehand, but I like giving the parent Sims a reason to get out of the house.
