What Are Festivals
There are five festivals inThe Sims 4: City Living. Festivals take place on a bi-weekly rotation throughout San Myshuno. Players will be able to track the festival scheduleusing the in-game calendar, and they will receive a notification when it starts. The five festivals include the Flea Market, GeekCon, Humor & Hijinks, Romance, and Spice Festival.
Sims do not have to live in San Myshuno to attend or be notified of the festivals. However,those living in apartmentscan check their community message board for flyers and other information. Festivals provide Sims an opportunity to meet other Sims, buy swag, eat food, and play festival games.
Sometimes a Sim’s friend calls them and invites them to a festival. When they get there, there will be a specific activity they must do similar tohow date invites work. Festivals last a few hours, so Sims will have plenty of time to complete any required tasks before one ends.
Flea Market
The Flea Market occurs on Sundays from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM in Waterside Warble. It’s a chance for Sims to shop local wares and find unique furniture, decorations, and treasures. Alternatively, Sims can set up at one of the display tables and sell their valuables.
Sims love to haggle or trade at the Flea Market, so it’s an excellent place to earn cash or receive rare items. There are also random boxes around the festival grounds where Sims can search forcity-exclusive collectibles. If a friend invites a Sim to the Flea Market, they are typically prompted to buy something.
GeekCon
GeekCon is at Planet Honey Pop on Tuesdays from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. It has the same energy as a real-life hero or tv convention, and Sims are encouraged to wear costumes, play video games, enter contests, and work on their Skills. There are also multiple food and merch vendors they can get cool swag from.
Sims with the Geek trait particularly enjoy the festival, but it is open to everyone. Sims will receive a boost to their mental skill gains while using the Motion Gaming Mats, computers, and rocket-building stations set up around the grounds. Beingin a Focused moodmakes winning the Video Game or Programming contest easier.
Humor & Hijinks Festival
The Humor and Hijinks Festival takes place Mondays from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM near Casbah Gallery. It is all about fun social interactions such as pranks, mischief, and jokes. Sims who are Hot-Headed or Proper will likely not enjoy the Humor and Hijinks festival.
The main activity is a friendly competition between the Jokesters and the Pranksters. Each team has a tea fountain, and Sims can drink from either to choose which team they want to be on. Then,they must complete activitiesto earn their team points, such as comedy interactions for the Jokesters and mischief for the Pranksters.
Romance Festival
The Romance Festival takes place on Saturdays from 5:00 PM to 1:00 AM near Planet Honey Pop and is all about love and flirty vibes. Whether Sims or single or in a long-term relationship, they can enjoy the romantic festivities, including drinking the Sakura Tea, scattering flower petals,meeting other flirty Sims, or interacting with the Romance Guru.
Sims thinking of taking their relationship to the next level, can use the festival as the perfect opportunity to propose to their significant other and even get married using the onsite wedding arch. Of course, asking the Romance Guru if he thinks their relationship is doomed to fail or thrive for some “accurate” insight may be wise.
Spice Festival
The Spice Festival brings on the heat from 5:00 PM to 1:00 AM on Mondays, Fridays, or Saturdays, depending on the festival rotation. Sims can enjoy the local cuisines that feature spice and fresh produce and purchase uncommon herbs to make their ownversions of the cultural foods.
One of the main activities is the Spicy Challenge, and Sims will see if they can handle eating the world’s spiciest bowl of curry for a chance to win a fun shirt and get a special moodlet. However, suppose players want to avoid attempting the Challenge and hurting their Sim. In that case, they can have a more relaxing day at the festival, harvesting the various fruits and vegetables on the ground to see if they find anything unique.
