Sim Sessions Screenshots

So I ended up enjoying this way more than I thought I would. As luck would have it, I was just about to play my household with the "musical instrument" naming theme when this was announced.

My first (pleasant) surprise was that as soon as the family arrived at the park, all of them automatically started going towards the stage-which was a good thing because the festival area is actually a bit of a hike from the main park. (Am I the only one who had kind of...forgotten about all that extra space around the park lot?) Luckily, the family seemed to know exactly where to go-even the toddlers.

And yes, this family did bring not one, but two toddlers to a music festival. It went...better than you would think. The parents were able to interact with their kids during the performances-at one point, the dad even started playing with his toddler son. I thought this moment was cute as it looked like he was holding him on his shoulders to see better.

The crowd was a nice mix of my own playable Sims and pre-mades/townies. Given how unpredictable crowds of Sims can often be, I have to say I was impressed by how the event played out. The Sims autonomously gathered and reacted when the performance was going on, including cheering, clapping, and swaying their arms in the air. Even the kids got into it.

But between the actual performances, the crowd broke up and the Sims visited the souvenir stall, rested in the tents, and browsed the sale table. When it was time for the next performance, back to the stage they went.

I did try to have my own Sims perform as well, but by the time the "official" performances wrapped up there wasn't much time left in the event. I did notice that both adults and kids have the option to "get on stage" after the performances are over, so if you have a musically inclined child Sim this might be something to try out.

I really want to see more events like this in the future.
