Since installing the Cottage Living expansion I've found none of the festivals/events from the other packs are spawning. I've got all the packs so I should still be getting the festivals from City Living and Snowy Escape. I don't have any mods installed. And when I go to any of the boards in either San Myshuno or Mt Komorebi the festivals still show there with the dates etc but they never actually spawn. I've started new games a couple of times and it's still the same.

@lunether Did you edit any of the lots in San Myshuno ? That's a known issue for the festivals not spawning there.There's also an issue if you put business lots in the areas.

I've tried a couple different saves making sure nothing was edited or charged in any of the neighborhoods where festivals happen. None of spawning still. And it's not just in the city. The Snowy Escape festivals aren't spawning either.

@lunether Do you get a message that they should be taking place ? Are they on the info boards and your calendar ?

No messages come up when they're supposed to start. None are showing in the calendar. City living festivals don't show on info boards. The snowy escape boards just give the general message about those festivals.

@lunether Have you tried a game repair ? Any luck after yesterdays patch ?

I made a home in the snowy escape world. I didn't know we weren't supposed to edit that world. When I go to the snow festival, nothing is there. When I go to the youth festival, the stuff is there but there are no people and yamachan is not there

@awakenthisworld Are you using mods/cc in your game ?

Do they appear if you start a new save for testing purposes ?

Hi. Is there an update as to why the festivals are gone?
I have mods and cc installed but the problem persists even without mods.
I also edited lots in San Myshuno. Is there a way to get the festivals back?

Hi @emaplatis If you edited neighborhood areas using TOOL Mod, you may have caused Festival problems with that. You might want to get support from that from the creator. Otherwise, if you're removing the Mods folder to test, make sure to also delete localthumbcache. Testing in a new game is worth a try too.

Thanks @luthienrising. I didn't edit the lots with TOOL. I just renovated the apartments with some re-builds from the gallery. I also tried in a new game, deleted localthumbcahce and removed all mods. It just shows I have only Sports Days as festivals and there is no festival info on the apartments boards. I also only get Finwick festival.
I also re installed the game without HSY and Cottage Living first to see if they were causing the issue and it was still the same..... Do you have any other ideas?
