Thoughts on festivals?
I think we need to have a discussion on festivals. At first I thought they were such a great idea and had fun with them when they were first introduced. It gave our sims something fun to look forward ...

I only visit them if my sims need to for social need or if there is something they need from the festival. Flea market if they need some cheap furniture or maybe some free posters or snow globes, spice festival for the spices and free food, humour and hijinks I visited with a sim who was working on becoming an entertainer, Geekcon I visited with a scientist sim, star wars fan, and freelance programmer sim, the Henford festivals I visit with my farmer sims to sell their produce or if some sims need to buy produce. I attended snow festival and festival of light once each. I was disappointed because my sim bought a pretty kimono from the vending machine and the game gave her a stupid flat cap to wear too and I could not change it for some reason.
I also do think the cottage living festivals are okay if you have farmer sims. The competitions make it more interesting as there is atleast a prize for participating. However the Snow Escape ones and now HSY have severely hit the mark IMO. There are so many brand new objects and gameplay ideas they could of added to these festivals but decided to do the bare minimum.
I haven't played the HSY ones yet, so can't say much about them, but the festivals from snowy escape don't engage our sims too much, unless it's food related activity. I like food and it's good that we get so may recipes, but there's not much to do there except eat and watch fire works. And because they are not editable, we can't add more stuff from other packs either so we're stuck with them.
Watch the game changer videos on them and you'll feel the same way. There is literally nothing to do lmao.
