Still no Trick or Treaters.

My sims weren't getting any at their home.

I changed my season to 7 days and the holiday came up again. I didn't expect that and my sim was at her business in Magnolia Promenade.
Trick or treaters began to show up. I don't know if it was because she was at her business, or that it was a 7 day season, or if changing the season length reset something.



This kid showed up in a towel.
Hopefully this paparazzo is calling Child Protection Services.

I think you need the candy bowl for them to show up ? I always have it on my sims porch. But yes sometimes they don’t come or very few come.

It's worked maybe 3 times in my game. Its definately rare. I dont even pay attention to it anymore. It sucks that it hasn't been fixed yet.

interesting!
There’s another thread on this topic right now and I posted about changing from 7-day seasons (when trick or treating did work for me) to 14-day seasons and adding the holiday back manually (and it doesn’t work now) so we may be onto something there - as in: If the game uses the default holiday, it works but if you add it manually it doesn’t work. Could this be the case?

Wonder if there is a way to reset holidays to default in an existing save. Going back to 7-day seasons might have done that for you, but I want longer seasons.

I've never seen this holiday with seasons installed. it must require spooky stuff pack to get it going? only thing i can think of.

Nice to know i should avoid it for now. Thanks.

It doesn’t require Spooky Day stuff (which I don’t have), but that adds a candy bowl which may possibly help fulfill this holiday activity.

It definitely worked at one stage for me. In one instance it was with the holiday bowl and kids were just barging straight into the house and grabbing candy and leaving. On another occasion when I tried it without, it was working for certain. Will have to try it again.

At first it worked but recently I haven't seen any of them.
I'm going to remove that tradition from Halloween the next time. It was a bit annoying even back when it worked, because if I played with bigger families there were never enough trick or treaters for everyone in the family to fill the tradition goal, they always left immediately when one family member asked for a trick or treat.

Might I recommend leaving a bowl outside? (Requires spooky stuff) It still fills the whim and children and teenagers will automatically take candy from it.

And to answer Op it's literally work the whole time for me except now it doesn't seem to work

It used to work but somehow Maxis have managed to break it in a recent patch or pack . I wish they would put as much effort into bug fixing their games as they do to patching Origin

You have to create the holiday, it isn't one of the official holidays.

@Zeldaboy180 The feature has never worked for me and many others. If it's broken now why hasn't it been addressed? It's Halloween season now!! & only for so long :(
