Question: How exciting are the new holidays in The Sims 4 Seasons EP?
The answer, my friend, is very! If you don’t already know, the new pack comes with this new system that lets sims celebrate special dates that are made from one to five traditions. We’ll get a few preset holidays, but we can create our own holidays from a variety of options, from decor to the aforementioned traditions.
So I came up with a few ideas of custom holidays that could add some fun gameplay to The Sims 4 Seasons. I also would love to hear if you guys tried any of these ideas or better yet, what holidays you guys created in game.
Earth Day
Yes, Earth Day is a thing in real life, though I’m not sure if it can be considered a proper holiday.

WeirdoFest
Let’s celebrate all things that are odd and out of place all in one day. On this holiday, sims wear costumes and exercise their mischief spirit, all in good fun. Need an extra dose of weird? Why not have Father Winter and the Flower Bunny come to visit at the same time? And yes, streaking is allowed.
Choresmas
Do you hate cleaning and gardening? Why not only do these things once a year then? *wink wink*
Temptation Day
There are two sides to this day. It starts with fasting, and ends in yummy goodness. While your Sims are fasting, have them participate in baking and also grilling (bar-b-que). After six hours resisting temptation, they can finally indulge in all the wonderful delicious nom noms. Why not pour some drinks and cook a grand meal? It’s allowed now!
Purge Day
“Ok, this one has the potential to be an all time favorite for many players. Once a year, sims are allowed – nay, they’re
