The Sims 4 Mod: Schedule Festivals Yourself

Schedule Festivals Yourself disables all festivals in The Sims 4 and allows you to re-add them using the Seasons holiday system. It supports festivals from City Living, Island Living, Snowy Escape, Cottage Living and High School Years. You can schedule them to appear on any day and season you want, or disable them entirely by not scheduling them at all.

This mod requires Seasons to work. You'll also need at least one pack that contains festivals, otherwise it's useless.

If you have High School Years, the mod also changes how the Chess and Computer Team Science Fairs work. These are now scheduled through the holiday system like the other festivals instead of through the phone.

Like most holiday traditions, Sims can "Love" or "Ignore" them based on their traits. A Sim "Ignoring" the tradition won't prevent the festival from appearing, it just means they won't get any holiday points for it.

Known Issues

There are two known issues that can cause festivals to start at the wrong time:

Festivals are scheduled a certain number of hours after 6am, when holidays usually start. Because of this, if you edit a holiday that has already started and add a festival tradition, it will start late.

If this mod is added to an existing save, new instances of festivals can clash with old ones, causing them to not start or start at weird times. To prevent this from happening, schedule festivals on different days than they would normally be scheduled for (for example, avoid scheduling the Football Team Sports Day on Thursdays). For festivals from older packs (City Living, Island Living, Snowy Escape), this problem should fix itself after a few Sim days, but for newer packs, it can take up to four Sim weeks.

Conflicts

This mod will conflict with any mod that alters festival notifications, including mods that remove them. I kept the notifications in this mod, because if you go out of your way to add a festival to the calendar, you probably want to be notified when it begins.

This mod will also conflict with mods that add notifications to Island Living festivals, including avacadoloki's Sulani Events Flyer and Calendar Notifications and MizoreYukii's Island Event Notifications. Schedule Events Yourself adds similar functionality to the latter.

Change Log

19th January 2025 - Fixed an issue that prevented Sulani festival traditions from being completed. This only effected traditions, not the festivals themselves.

31st October 2024 - Updated to include Ravenwood Family Day and Thinned Festiveil.

15th June 2024 - Updated to fix a typo in the description for the GeekCon tradition.

Auntie Alma came for Weston's birthday party. I love their little aunt/nephew dynamic so much! Also Weston aged up to be a child! Also Ashleigh is expecting a child so little Weston is soon going to have a little sister or brother.

Ashleigh and Tatum had a baby! This is the first second generation Sim in town. Meet Weston!

FOUNDING FAMILY 1 - BLACKBURN

I finally started BACC (Build a City Challenge). The rules can be found here. I wanted to document it somewhere, so I finally made a simblr! Here are my founding Sims;

Alma Blackburn, Tatum Wiley, Tristan Henning and Ashleigh Wiley.

Alma and Tatum are siblings from different dads. Tatum is married to Ashleigh. For now they all live in the same Off-the-grid house, because there is no electricity or plumbing yet. They are trying to farm and generate some income to be able to afford that.

They live in the very empty Willow Creek at the moment. I'm going to attempt a rotational playstyle for the very first time, but I like random events and things happening in the world while I do something else, I'm going to turn on the Neighborhood stories and allow aging and such for the families that I'm not focusing on at that moment.
