    I like to set seasons for 14 days so that I can add plenty of holidays, like these:
    January: Polar Bear Plunge
    February: Valentine's Day, Super Bowl Sunday
    March: Spring Cleaning, St. Patrick's Day
    April: April Fool's Day, Easter
    May: Cinco de Mayo, Memorial Day
    June: Pride Day
    July: Independence Day
    August: Summer Barbecue
    September: Labor Day (the least exciting holiday)
    October: Halloween
    November: Thanksgiving
    December: Christmas, New Year's Eve

    I have a few custom holidays. I usually make a holiday at the beginning of Winter to put up Winterfest decorations so it’s like getting prepared for the holiday season. I’ll also have my sims purchase gifts to give to each other from plopsy or buy gifts from phone to exchange on Winterfest day. Also, Treat Yo Self Day (from Parks & Rec tv show) have sims do any self care stuff like go out (to a restaurant or spa), spa activities, and water activities like using hot tub or bathhouse in Snowy Escape. Anything you consider self care. I like to do 28 day seasons because I play long lifespans for legacy gameplay.

    The day after is the vampire feast day.

    I add in Wiccan holidays like Eostre, Samhain, and Yule. Sometimes I also add in other cultural holidays for various Sims, like Pesach and Chanukkah for my Jewish Sims, as well as other ones like Kwanzaa and Diwali. I have a pretty diverse cast among my 20+ families.

    Oh no, your Sims are going to freeze to death all over the place! xD Spring cleaning is a great idea, I need to clean out inventories and do chores anyway, so why not? Remembrance day sounds great too. Could be placed right after Halloween.

    I have my seasons set to 14 days and give th/F-TW as summer vacation for the kids parents who work weekend jobs still go to work and on the Monday in the middle of summer vacation is independence day so everyone gets to be off fireworks and BBQ. I also add winterfest Eve so winterfest so santa comes the night before and we have to bake for him. But yeah I have 2 holidays per season so 1 per week. Winter-New Years Eve/Winterfest eve+Winterfest, Spring- Love day/Easter Summer - Summer Vaction + Sim INdependance day/ Will Wright Day ( gnomes, fires, fasting, cleaning and swimming!) Fall - Thanksgiving/Halloween

    It’s not necessarily a holiday idea but close-ish. Is there an option to have a funeral for a sim? I would love to see that feature if they don’t already have it in game.

    • @PeteyPlaysIt
      @PeteyPlaysIt  2 роки тому +7

      Hi Caroline! If you have city living then you can use podiums to hold eulogy's for sims. So if you make a church-style lot you can use them to kind of have a funeral. It's a bit clunky though and can be hard to get sims to actually stay the course and sit and watch the funeral.
      There are a few prerequisites to hold a eulogy.
      1. There needs to be a podium on the lot.
      2. Your sim needs to have the tombstone of the sim you want to hold a eulogy for in their inventory.
      3. The sim needs to have at least level 6 charisma.
      Then you can click on the tombstone in a sim's inventory to give a eulogy.
      Sorry it's not more straight forward but I hope that helps :)
