This post contains a whole new batch of information regarding this pack. For more information and tweets check out Part 1 , Part 2 and Part 3 of our SimGuru Q&A tweet compilation!

I think Holidays are VERY cool. one of our pillars for the pack is that Sims anticipate the future, that there is a sense of time passing. The calendar lets you celebrate key moments, tell stories, and create a “year” for your Sims. https://t.co/KyeF7weGMg

I’ll have to semi-dodge this question as we’ll discuss it more in the future.

Wait. That was a full dodge. https://t.co/Iup2QXavMw

Yup, the pre-made holidays can be renamed and traditions can be customized.

Not impossible, but it’s a huge undertaking to update existing worlds. We had to do it to make seasons work anyway, so we took the opportunity to do some extra little things too.

I wouldn’t exactly say it’s like clubs as some of the holiday traditions have unique content that can only happen during the holiday.

There are changes to the public spaces when the seasons change.

— Megan G (@SimGuruMegs) June 7, 2018

Yes, by default there are some holidays that will happen!

— Megan G (@SimGuruMegs) June 7, 2018

Not by default, but you could make a holiday for each day of summer where everyone has work and school off.

— Megan G (@SimGuruMegs) June 7, 2018

Gift giving is not limited to holidays!

— Megan G (@SimGuruMegs) June 7, 2018

Traditions are far more broad than club activities, which are very specific, so I don’t think it would actually make sense to add more of them. I am having a hard time even thinking of something that could be added in a future pack that would make sense for a new tradition.

— Megan G (@SimGuruMegs) June 7, 2018

I would imagine Prom to be more similar to an event like the Birthday Party. I think when you get a chance to see how the holidays play, you’ll see that they play differently from events and club gatherings.

— Megan G (@SimGuruMegs) June 7, 2018

Yes, if Father Winter is a tradition for the holiday, he’ll magically appear when the hour strikes!

— Megan G (@SimGuruMegs) June 7, 2018

You’ll be able to create your own Halloween holiday!

— Megan G (@SimGuruMegs) June 7, 2018

I’m not sure what you mean, he is a part of the Winterfest holiday which will be on the calendar by default. Or you could create your own holiday where he appears.

— Megan G (@SimGuruMegs) June 7, 2018

You’ll be able to make a holiday where you can remember those who have passed on.

— Megan G (@SimGuruMegs) June 7, 2018

Sorry, not explaining this well. We did create specific traditions for things that make sense for holidays. However, I cannot think of anything we could add in a future pack that would require its own tradition instead of being part of a broad tradition.

— Megan G (@SimGuruMegs) June 7, 2018

I don’t think we said that! I specifically told people that we would never do that!

— Megan G (@SimGuruMegs) June 7, 2018

There is a difference between weather and seasons. All the worlds have seasons, but their weather will be different.
