What holidays and objectives have you guys created?

Obviously from the US ?

I haven't created any, but perhaps you could assist me with a query I have?

Did Seasons originally have Halloween in the calendar as an event? I was certain it did but I messed around with aging length and season length and now I've only got Valentine's, Harvest, Christmas and NYE.

I am close to switching from 14 day seasons to 28 day seasons, so I’ve added a few in addition to the typical US ones.

Sometime in the spring I plan to make a day for getting in shape for their summer bod.

Already love to do a Naked Gardening Day - streaking, gardening, give gifts (they share their unique seeds with other families in my rotation) and this is the day the gnomes come (instead of Harvestfest) because it just makes more sense with the seeds.

Instead of whatever the game calls Easter I call it Egg Fest - grand meal is the grand breakfast, if there’s kids in the house they have the egg hunt and the flower bunny, and this is the day I have reserved for family photos

Summer Games - I plan on setting up a vacation home where they have activities they will “compete” against each other like horseshoes, who does the best jump into a pool, a bike race, and a pie or hot dog eating contest.

Roller Derby - travel to a skating rink and lighting fireworks

I always make a couple extra holidays leading up to Winterfest to set the mood. One day to decorate, get a tree and bake, then Winterfest Eve they invite guests for a grand meal and Father Winter comes, then Winterfest.

I wish we had more activities to set on holidays and more icons (I don’t want to get a mod for that).

Hahah I said in my post I'm obviously from the USA. It should have had "Spooky Day" on the Calendar.

Yeah I got a mod for more Icos but honestly its TOO many more icons and is overwhelming to sort through. I wish we had more activities too. I wonder if there is a mod for that? I'm thinking things like go dancing, go out to eat, go to the movies, go bowling, go bar hopping, there are so many things I can think of. Its kind of a bummer we don't have the option to add activities.

I have a Family Day Out - so that includes Travel, Have a drink - really as a reminder to get out the house and do something together, so my family have been to the beach, out for a meal together.
I also have a Preparation Day - 2 days before Winterfest, to go shopping and i make sure they all have a gifts to give each other.
I have a Spring Clean day too, with cleaning and gardening I don't always fill up all the activity slots either, that way it doesn't become burdensome.
We also have a Summer BBQ, Water Fun day too with Invite Guests and Drinks. I like First day of..Season.. Days too. Just thought, these would be a good time to plan outfits too.
Off to think up some new ideas.

I create holidays such as Garden Day, Fitness Day, Fall Fasting, Sportsball Spring/Fall Playoffs etc.

I also create empty holidays as a way to keep track of the months. First /Middle/Last Day of Spring/Summer/Fall/Winter

One holiday I'm proud of is Holiday Shopping where I use the appreciate object tradition and also the attend holiday ceremony tradition to simulate Sims going "shopping" by leaving the house lol.

I really really wish they would update the game to use more icons in the game and also more tradition types as a console gamer I cannot use mods. ?

I know ?

Ah, thanks. Shall recreate it.

I added a Summer BBQ day, Spooky day and also I split Winterfest into two days so the first day is Winterfest eve where sims decorate, bake and father winter visits. The second day they open presents, have a grand meal and some other objectives that I've forgotten without checking. :D I don't really know what else to add but I would like to add more holidays.

I am using a mod by LittleMsSims (I hope I have her name correct) for 21 day seasons. 7 is too short, 14 isn't quite enough but 28 days is like playing the game without seasons for me. 21 is just right.

I, too, am from the USA, born and bred. I have Ancestors who go back to the Revolutionary War, like others have. I created (borrowing from another Simmer's statement) Church for my future game save and Sunday Go to Meetin' for my 18th century game save. All that is required in the first one is attend holiday services. The second one they also have to serve a Grand Meal. As per some of the 'traditions' I read about describing the culture of the Colony of Virginia.

I have Liberty Day in the future game save and since in my ancestral game save Liberty hasn't yet been achieved, I don't. But, it occurs to me I should think of something for them.

Thanksgiving in the future save and Harvest Day in the 18th century. I have Christmas in both saves; I have Love Day in both saves (that the game comes with) and I put in place Pascha for the future game save. New Year's in both saves, although I may change the time of year in the 18th century, learning fairly recently that the new year used to begin in March. (Before we switched calendars. Chew on that one for a bit. ;) )

And right now, that's about it.

I've changed Winterfest to Christmas Day in my current save, and I also added in Christmas Eve and Boxing Day, both of which are days off work too. Most people have to work on Christmas Eve here in the UK (as far as I know) so I let my sims have the day off off as a treat whenever I add that particular event to a game. I also have New Year's Day as well as New Year's Eve. As I rotate a lot, and almost always on a Sunday morning, I tend to remove the Resolution activity from New Year's Eve and put it in New Year's Day so it's relevant for the family I'm switching to.

I usually delete Brawl Day and sometimes Prank Day, and remove the gnomes from Harvest Fest, and often add a day off of work in the summer but unless I'm playing a themed game, that's about it really.
