No kids showing up for Trick or Treating?

@TheIntrovertSimmer If you do not have the candy bowl on your lot the kids will knock on the door

With my game, only three kids showed up, all in costume. One was a kid living in the immediate neighborhood, one was a random NPC kid I've never seen before and one was a teenager (Cassandra Goth). They walked in, stuck their hands into that Spooky Day sweet bowl I had put out for them, yelled, and then walked straight out again. They did not knock on the door or try to interact with the resident sims. And they were gone so quickly that if I hadn't been watching I wouldn't have seen them.

They won't knock or interact with your sims if you use the candy bowl. Take away the bowl and your sims will have to go to the door.

I didn't have the spooky day stuff pack. How do you get the option to show up if a kid knocks on the door? I tried summoning them with MC Command Center, and the option still isn't there. Do I just greet them or what?

never had any kids come by so I deleted that tradition.

Doesn't that work with the calendar? The only trick or treating will happen at the household with the spooky day calendar page - not the whole neighborhood - at least the way this one is designed. It is why the NPC trick or treaters only come to the house that has it on their calendar.

Not that i like it like this - i wish it was at least the whole neighborhood - but that is not how the Calendar works - is it?

I always put trick or treating in my game for the Halloween season, and not once did a kid show up, like, in any of them, it's gotten to the point I would just not add it in.

I have NEVER had any sim children trick or treating. I wondered why it was an option for the holiday. It's good to know that it works for some people but I guess I'll delete it off my holiday and put drinking there instead and let the adults have the fun. ;)

Depends on how many kids and teens are in your game. Sometimes nobody shows up because there aren’t any kids or teens in town.

I also never had any kid trick or treating. I thought I had this problem because I have so many mods and probably one of the mod does not allow kids to come to my houses... I'll maybe try with Candy bowl next time (honestly I don't remember if I had it before or not).

Hey folks it's awesome you're still talking about this but unfortunately this thread has been very sporadically active with large bouts of inactivity so I'm going to close it off. If you have any questions about necroposting you can read this thread here : Necroposting
