Seasonal Holidays and Events.

Have you added any events for your sims to celebrate, if so what are they called and how do you plan your sims to celebrate them?

I immediately added Spooky Day with Decorate, Wear Costumes, Trick or Treat and Spooky Spirit for it's traditions and activities.
  • I added Bunny Day (Easter), Freedom Day (4th of July), Remembrance Day (Memorial Day), A holiday week of summer vacation that occurs 2 weeks before the start of Fall. My Harvest Day is 2 days (Harvest Day and Day after Harvest Day), Menorah Day, Kinara Day and added a Winterfest Eve. I also made everyday between Winterfest and New Years Day no work holidays. I'm still thinking of a custom holiday to add, but I feel like I already have too many and my sims are always on holiday.

    Those are some great holiday ideas. Although I think you "missed" an opportunity to call Freedom day Simsdependence Day. ?
  • I added "free spirits day" with dancing, music spirit, drinking and streaking,
    "flower power" with gardening and giving flowers,
    "bunnster" = easter,
    "spooky day" (but the trick and treat never works, there are never any kids showing up),
    "summerfest" which is BBQ, waterfun, fire and travel/go on vacation,
    "winterfest"= christmas
    "geeks games and glory" appreciate object, wear costumes, games and invite guests
    "Light of hope" attend holiday ceremony, festive lighting, grand meal and thankful spirit
    "love day" = valentine
    "New years's eve"
    and
    "EXTREME DAY!!!"
    which is fire, fasting, exercise and polar bear plunge, it is in winter and I already lost a child to the polar bear plunge (that was horrible!)
  • I added in Summer Holiday which is a day off for everyone, where you spend time with friends and family, have BBQ, play in the pool, and have a fire. I also added in the Super Bowl for my sporty and bro sims - everyone gets together and watches sports TV, has a few drinks and grills. I'd like to add a couple more but haven't decided what yet.

    LOL!!! It's never too late to change it. I like that a lot better
  • Halloween and Christmas Eve. In addition I changed the Winterfest Name to Christmas.
  • I quite like the names, hence why I used their pre-existing Spooky Day name. I haven't added enything else yet, but the random ones are rather fun, too.
  • Christmas eve new years eve and day and Halloween but kept winterfest just to make It like a new thing

    Hmm Bunny Day is an awesome name.
  • I added Founder's Day which is like the 4th of July which includes streaking xD I also added a Winter Solstice holiday that's just before Winterfest ! Some of the ideas in this for holidays are pretty awesome as well
