Sims Sessions: The Sims Event of the Summer

First Snowy Escape, now this. Outdoor Retreat is seething.

So basically, we can do things we can already do in-game, except with real life celebrities visiting, and our sims can buy ugly recolors of the same shirt they always use. But if we can get new instruments out of this, I'd be pretty psyched.

Such a cute idea! Can't wait to take my sims to a music festival. :)

Pictures look good.
Shop the Festival
Buy artist-themed merchandise, run your own craft sales table, or snack like a rockstar at a food stand!

Camp Out
Festivals are fun but exhausting! Get some sleep in one of the tents—or Woohoo to the music.

Enjoy the Show
Gather around the stage to watch, dance, and cheer on the performances!

Perform on Stage
After the performances, go on stage and keep the tunes flowing. Jam on the piano and sing your heart out.

I think it sounds fun! Just a bit worried where the festival will pop up, or if it's items to be arranged by us wherever we like. Seems like a grand way to take a break from longing for the CoL pack :)

From the screenshots it looks like the tents and stalls will spawn at the community space around Willow Green's big park (Magnolia Blossom, was it?). Not sure about the main stage, but it doesn't seem as if we'd have to sacrifice a lot for the festival or as if the objects intruded on whatever we built at Magnoloa Blossom Park.

I'm looking forward to the festival, it's what most of my sims would enjoy (but woe for everyone who's playing a History challenge in that neighborhood at the moment).

They can just pretend they're time travelers, coming to the past to disrupt the timeline and sell their music. That's half true already.

I noticed the new outfit & cool gloves. Hopefully they will be in the new update.

I'm very confused. Does this mean we have to buy it or is it a base game add on? Do we keep whatever it is as well as all content?

Look, I'm not trying to be negative here, but if I gotta buy it I'll take a pass, especially if it's only available for that one week - I am not paying money for something I'll only have access to for the few hours I have available to play.

I'll save my $$ for Cottage Living. Hope everyone else has fun with it.

It looks like a new festival in held Willow Creek. It's basegame.

This is bizarre.

It's a festival. My sims enjoy the festivals. It will be more fun than the Bluffs. :lol:

I just calculated that two of the singers would be in their mid-fifties in my game (couldn't find a birthday for the third one). Not elders by a long shot yet, but the festival might just be their revival concert. I'll cas.fulleditmode give them a little makeover, maybe a little more weight, greying hair, nothing overly intrusive, just to fit the timeline.
