July have you tried in edit town change lot type to festival ground. Message 4 of 11 29, Views. Reply 1. November Hey LizzieAnne, not sure if you are still having this problem, but I found your thread because I had this problem too and I fixed mine. I'm in Appaloosa Plains and wanted to place the Appaloosa festival grounds, but the lot would not give me option to place a copy there.

I had chosen a large enough lot, changed it to "Community" and "Festival Grounds", but the symbol still did not show up when I wanted to place the grounds. So I simply bulldozed the lot even though there was nothing on it and it reset to "No Visitors Allowed".

I'm sure it works with other world festival grounds as well. I hope this fixes your problem if you have not already found a solution. Message 5 of 11 28, Views. Reply 4.

Along with Fall comes a newly Seasoned festival with plenty of things to get up to! Fall is the Season for unpredictable weather. Be sure to check the weather station, newspaper or a computer! One minute it can be clear, the next rain and plenty of it.

Enter the pie eating contest! The more hungry a Sim is gives an advantage on winning. After the contest is on Sims occasionally tend to feel nauseous after stuffing their faces with pie. The winning Sim gets 25 tickets for winning while the losing Sims get 5 tickets as a consolation.

Apple bobbing is fun game to play, the Sim who collects 5 apples first wins! A Sim of the cild to Elder age can join in the fun of the pie eating contest.

There are a few styles to choose from including a pirate, turkey, unicorn and a pumpkin. Plus more! Time to redeem those festival tickets Sims have earned through the festival games over the year.

Tickets are a big part of the festivals and the more tickets earned, the better the prize. Taking part in any activity helps a Sim build up their tickets. Win or lose, Sims will still get tickets. When redeeming tickets there is a variety of different objects where tickets will be traded in for.

Sims can get their very own apple bobbing tank for their homes! Other items a Sim can purchase with festival tickets include a scarecrow, snow cone machine, face painting booth, sun tanning booth, parasol, umbrella, horseshoe court, soccer goal. Plus a few more! Sims can get hungry while they are at the festival so they are able to purchase food while they are there. Some of the foods here are new, and tasty! Greeting Cards are a big thing at each Seasonal festival.

Sims can capture the moment of each festival all year round. Up to 8 Sims can enter the greeting card booth at a time. When the card is taken it will automatically go to a Sims inventory for safe keeping.

Sims can hang up their greeting card on the wall at home or on the shelf. Another great thing with greeting cards is that they can be shared via thesims3. They can also be shared on to Facebook and Twitter too! Towards the end of every Season Sims can throw a party aimed at that particular Season. Friends and family join together to have fun and create memories. Sims will get invitations to go to parties if Late Night is installed. Trick or Treating is a fun way to get free stuff. There will be many Trick or Treaters around town so Sims best be ready to dish out some candy!

There a up to 5 different ways to carve out a pumpkin which include traditional, ghost, cat, silly and evil. Winter is another visually stunning Season as everything is covered in crisp white snow.

Snow makes worlds turn in to a winter wonderland. Icicles appear on Sims homes, lakes freeze over and the temperature of the weather drastically drops!

Sims must bundle up in their outerwear if they want to tackle the outside world in this weather, or else they make freeze! Apart from the ice cold temperatures, there is also benefits to this Season.

There are three types of snow during the Winter Season. Ghosts , mummies , SimBots , vampires , imaginary friends in their toy form, genies , fairies , werewolves in their wolf form, and zombies will not skate on the skating rink.

Instead, they will run or hover around. In addition, they cannot skate backwards or spin. Plumbots will not wear skating shoes, but will still use the normal skating animation. Sims can initiate a water balloon fight at a ball fight arena.

Up to four players can join the game. Sims will throw water balloons against the opponents. Each water balloon that hits the opponent will give 10 points or 20 points if a team is outnumbered. The first team to earn points will win the game and earn 25 festival tickets. The losing team will earn 5 festival tickets.

Sims can initiate a water balloon fight on a flat ground as well, and up to 8 players can join if the space is sufficient. However, there is no win and Sims will not earn any festival tickets. Sims can also play a snowball fight in winter or dew fight in utopian Oasis Landing. Pregnant Sims cannot join a ball fight. Playing water balloon fight increases Sims' hidden Ball Fighting skill. The skill goes up to level 3. The higher the skill, the more likely Sims will dodge and hit the target.

The likeliness that Sims dodge or hit the target depends on several factors:. PlantSim 's water motive will slowly increase during the game. Sims can practice alone or shootout against another Sim with the soccer goal.

Plumbots with hover bottom cannot participate. When practicing alone, Sims will make 10 practice shots for each practice session. In a shootout, each player will take turn between the goalie and the shooter after 4 shots. The players will slowly build relationships during the game. The goalie may taunt the shooter during the game. Practicing shootout increases Sim's Athletic skill.

The higher the Athletic skill differences between the players, the more likely they will succeed in catching the ball or making a score. The winner of the shootout will earn 25 festival tickets, and the loser will earn 5. If the game draws, both players earn 10 festival tickets. If there's a soccer goal on the lot, Sims can invite over next ranked soccer opponent.

They can challenge the opponent over a ranked soccer match. The ranked soccer match progress is tracked in the Sim's skill journal. Only teenagers and older can get a spray tan. Mummies, SimBots, genies, plantSims, mermaids, and plumbots cannot get a spray tan.

If The Sims 3: Generations is installed, teenagers can set a booby trap inside the tanning booth.

Sims who get a spray tan in a trapped booth will get a discolored tan. A pie eating contest is essentially the same as hot dog eating contest.

The same applications apply to the pie eating contest, although with a few differences. Sims will eat key lime pie and receive an excellent platter of key lime pie. In addition, Sims' face will be smeared from pie and their hygiene drops slightly. Up to four Sims can compete in an apple bobbing contest. The principle is more or less similar to eating contests. After the contest is over, Sims have to wait for another two hours to compete again.

Hydrophobic Sims will not autonomously participate in the contest, while SimBots will short out if they participate. Sims need to bob 5 apples in order to win. Sims will randomly bob an apple for every under 15 Sim minutes, but 30 minutes for Unlucky Sims. The winner will earn 25 festival tickets and "Winner" moodlet, while the losers will earn 5. Children and older can enter the haunted house to test their bravery. Before entering, Coward and Childish Sims may react hesitantly.

Sims will spend 10 minutes inside the haunted house and exits. Upon exiting, Sims might vomit, pee self, panic, or just shiver.

Coward Sims are more likely to vomit, pee self, or panic instead of just shivering, while Brave Sims will just shrug. Sims will receive 5 festival tickets after entering the haunted house. There's also a chance Sims might get none or one of the following moodlets:. If Sims get the "Cursed by a Witch" moodlet, they will temporarily become a ghost of an old age until the moodlet expires. Although not technically a festival activity, all premade festival grounds come with a pumpkin patch where Sims can harvest pumpkins and carve them to decorate their house.

Normally, the fall festival is where Sims can find and harvest pumpkins, but pumpkins can also be purchased at the grocery. Sims can initiate a snowball fight at a ball fight arena, or on a flat ground with deep snow. The mechanics of snowball fight is essentially the same as water balloon fight, with the only difference is that it can only be done in winter with a deep snow. If the snow is not deep enough, Sims cannot initiate a snowball fight.

Sims can still initiate a water balloon fight regardless of the season and snow depth, however. The essence of ice skating is the same as roller skating rink, with the only difference is that Sims wear ice skates instead of roller skates.

Unlike snowball fighting, Sims can ice skate regardless of the season, because the activity is based on the type of rink used. In addition to the ice skating rink, Sims can ice skate on a frozen pond or a frozen lake, such as the lake in Twinbrook , Oasis Landing , or Lunar Lakes. Sims can ice skate only if the pond is vast enough, and the pond is frozen solid. Sims can snowboard on a half-pipe.

Sims can purchase a snowboard at the concession stand or from Buy mode and customize their own snowboard, although it is not required, because Sims will be automatically given a default snowboard when they use the half-pipe.

Children have their own smaller snowboard. Other Sims might queue up to use the half-pipe, and when that happens, Sims will take turns in using the half-pipe.

Sims will receive 5 festival tickets after they're done snowboarding. As Sims practice snowboarding, they will increase their hidden Snowboarding skill. The higher the skill, the more likely Sims will do tricks, and the less likely they will fall while doing tricks.

Festivals are special events introduced in The Sims 4: City Living. They take place around the different districts of San Myshuno over the course of a two-week cycle. In apartment buildings there is a bulletin board, where Sims can read about the festival to see when the next festival is going to take place and what activities, competitions, and schedules this festival has to offer.

Festivals can also be read about on dynamic signs located in different parts of San Myshuno. When a festival is about to begin, an identifying jingle will play and a notification will appear letting to know that the festival is about to begin. This notification also can be used to teleport Sims to these festivals, if they are located in another neighborhood.

Festival objects and activities will appear on the neighborhood where the festival is located in. Around an hour before the festival ends, a notification will notify that the festival is ending. After the festival ends, all objects will disappear and are replaced by normal street objects.

If The Sims 4: Seasons is installed, entering a neighborhood where a festival is taking place will automatically change the weather to sunny and cool regardless of the current weather forecast. Each festival has its own schedule that consists of time, day and location. The only weekdays that don't have a festival are Wednesday and Thursday. Sims can buy food from different food stands located in the festivals. The food stand has different menus for each festival and every stand has different food items.

Pufferfish Nigiri is always excellent quality in these food stands, thus the chances of dying from it is nonexistent. Sims can buy different exclusive items from swag stands relating to theme of the festival. The items include are: snow globes , T-shirts, bubble bottles and different types of fireworks. Snow globes found in these festivals can be obtained from boxes that are located around the city, however, T-shirts are completely exclusive to the festival and buying unlocks it in Create a Sim.

Getting a free T-shirt is by completing the spice eating challenge in the Spice Festival. The Flea Market does not have a swag stand.
