Finally! I was so getting tired of having to add these holidays everytime I'd make a new save. Thank you!

This is amazing! I was creating similar holidays on each new save, thank you for this! But can you please add other language strings. I wanted to translate it into my game language but there's only english strings.

This is awesome! Would it be possible to do something like this that, say, replaces/moves the existing holidays as well? I have a specific timescale that my game works around, and a calendar that matches it (each sim day equals roughly two weeks, and holidays are mapped to the correct sim day for when they fall on the IRL calendar), but I'm tired of having to redo all the holidays every time I start a new save.

I didn't even think to name mine Springfest and Summerfest. I've been naming them Eggfest and Summer Bar-B-Que. I know it would be a pain, so I totally understand if you say no, but is there any way you could provide a tutorial on how you made this mod? I'd like to make one for my own holidays (including Burning Sim. Yay fire, art, and streaking!) and I want to get into modding but it's hard to learn. Thank you!

i'd love to do a tutorial but unfortunately making this was entirely trial-and-error and difficult to repeat. you have full permission to decode and use my mod as a base as a learning experience, though! as someone that's been modding for years all i can really recommend is learn by others and watch lots of tutorials if that's your thing (i can't learn well with videos though so i had to do stuff the hard way, lol).

the best learning experience for me was decoding and piecing stuff back together so i always have a policy of "do whatever you want" with my mod-work. if it helps you're 100% welcome to take a look at my mods for other games, found here , for inspiration and stuff. best wishes to you!

This only works on a new household or save, sorry!

Wish I had saw this before I downloaded it, since they didn't show up in my previously done test save to see if it works before committing to my main one. Sorry!

Still, this is undoubtedly nice for people who do use it properly, hopefully it works with the current version!

EDIT: I decided I want to try this again to test it some. Stay tuned...

EDIT #2: I made a new household in the same test save, but the calendar looks default. Guess I'll do without. (Again it's not you, it's me.)
