{{for|the specially designated lot to perform festival activities|Festival grounds}}
A '''festival''' is a seasonal event that is held in the [[festival grounds]] in ''[[The Sims 3: Seasons]]'' and a two-weekly event held on the districts of [[San Myshuno]] in ''[[The Sims 4: City Living]]''.
 
[[File:TS4_festival_icon.png|left|48px]] '''Festivals''' are special events that happen in-game. They are present in ''[[The Sims 3: Seasons]]'', ''[[The Sims 4: City Living]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4: Snowy Escape]]''. Festivals are seasonal events at the [[festival grounds]] in ''[[The Sims 3: Seasons]]'', whilst in ''The Sims 4'' they take place in [[San Myshuno]] in ''[[The Sims 4: City Living]]'' and [[Mt. Komorebi]] in ''[[The Sims 4: Snowy Escape]]''.
 
==The Sims 3: Seasons==
Line 9:
Festivals are open at 8 AM and closed at 9 PM. During the closing time, Sims will not be able to enter enclosed buildings at the festival grounds, such as toilet stalls, or use certain objects like chairs. Sims who perform certain activities at the festivals will earn festival tickets which can be redeemed at the concession stands. Not all activities will reward Sims with festival tickets. Festival tickets are only rewarded if the activities are performed at the festival grounds. Only playable Sims can earn festival tickets, so when players try to select a different household, those Sims will not have any festival tickets in their [[inventory]].
 
===Generic festival objects ===
Generic festival objects are always available at any festivals regardless of the season.
 
====Concession stand ====
Sims can buy food and redeem festival tickets at the concession stand. The concession stand has different menus and items for different seasons. Sims with '''Festival Frequenter''' [[lifetime reward]] will get half price for the food. Some of the items are not available in the [[Buy mode]]. Some of the food are from the [[food truck]] and [[ice cream truck]], and therefore requires ''[[The Sims 3: Late Night]]'' and ''[[The Sims 3: Pets]]''.

====Face painting booth ====
[[File:Festival generic - face painting booth.jpg|210px|thumb|A Sim having her face painted]]
Sims can get a temporary face paint at the face painting booth, which will wear off in 9 hours. Face painting costs §50, while Sims with the '''Festival Frequenter''' lifetime reward will get half the price. Sims will earn 5 festival tickets from having their face painted. Some face paints are available in certain season only, and there are 2 face paints that are randomly available in every season. The available face paints are as following:
Line 338:
 
====Horseshoe court====
[[File:Festival spring - horseshoe court.jpg|210px|thumb|Sims playing with horseshoe court.]]
[[Horseshoes|Horseshoe court]] can be played by up to four Sims, with two teams consisting of two Sims. Sims will take turns tossing horseshoes. Sims will build the [[Secret skillsskill#Seasons|hidden Horseshoes skill]]. The higher the skill, the more likely they will make a good toss. The winners of the game will earn 25 festival tickets, while the losers will earn 5.
 
====Kissing booth====
Line 352:
[[File:Festival spring - love tester machine.jpg|210px|thumb|Two Sims using a love tester machine]]
Sims can use the love tester machine alone or with someone for §5. The machine will calculate and give a result. The machine has 10 outcomes, ranging from good to bad:
 
# <font color="green">Uncontrollable</font>
# <font color="green">Hot StuffUncontrollable</font>
# <font color="green">PassionateHot Stuff</font>
# <font color="green">BurningPassionate</font>
#<font color="green">Burning</font>
# Wild

# Naughty but Nice
#Naughty but Nice
# Mild

# <font color="red">Harmless</font>
# <font color="red">ClammyHarmless</font>
# <font color="red">Cold FishClammy</font>
#<font color="red">Cold Fish</font>
 
The machine will generate a random number. The number is modified by the Sims' [[temperature]], [[Trait (The Sims 3)|traits]] (if used alone), and relationships (if used together). Low temperature will give negative bonus to the calculation, while high temperature will give positive bonus. The positive traits and lifetime rewards that affect the score are Attractive, [[Charismatic]], and [[Flirty]], while the negative traits are [[Childish]], [[Commitment Issues]], and [[Loner]]. If both Sims are romantic interests, partnered, engaged, or married, they will get a positive bonus, while exes will get negative bonus. If both Sims are also attracted to each other, they'll get a positive bonus.
Line 368 ⟶ 369:
 
There are certain conditions that will result the machine to give a definite positive or negative outcome.
 
* If either Sim has "Frozen Loins" moodlet, they will always get a bad result; but if either Sim has "Burning Loins" moodlet, they will always get a good result. The "Frozen Loins" moodlet check always precedes the "Burning Loins" moodlet, however.
*If either Sim has "Frozen Loins" moodlet, they will always get a bad result; but if either Sim has "Burning Loins" moodlet, they will always get a good result. The "Frozen Loins" moodlet check always precedes the "Burning Loins" moodlet, however.
* If used alone, a [[SimBot]] has a 50% chance that they will get Uncontrollable result, and a 50% chance for everything else.
* Certain [[life state]]s will give definite outcomes. The following pairings will give a positive outcome:
** Both of them are SimBots
** Both of them are [[Werewolf|werewolves]]
** Both of them are [[zombie]]s
** One of them is a [[Vampire (The Sims 3)|vampire]], while the other one is a regular Sim
** One of them is an [[imaginary friend]], while the other one is a [[fairy]]
* On the other hand, certain life state pairings will also give a negative outcome:
** Only one of them is a SimBot
** One of them is a vampire, while the other one is a werewolf
** One of them is a [[witch]], while the other one is a regular Sim
 
====Spring dance floor====
Line 387 ⟶ 389:
Sims who is crowned the king or queen of the spring dance will receive a plaque in their [[mailbox]] and earn 250 festival tickets. They will also become the subject of Spring Dance King and Spring Dance Queen [[Photography]] subject.
 
=== Summer festival===
====Hot dog eating contest====
[[File:Festival summer - hot dog eating contest.jpg|210px|thumb|Sims competing in a hot dog eating contest]]
Line 393 ⟶ 395:
 
In determining the winner, each of the participants has a weighted winning chance. They are given a random weighted chance between 0 and 50. The higher the weighted chance a participant has, the more likely they'll win. It's not impossible, however, that a participant with lower weighted chance wins. The weighted chance is modified by a number of factors.
 
*If the Sim is hungry, the weighted chance increases by +10.
* If the Sim is hungry, the weighted chance increases by +10.
*For each eating contest a Sim has participated in, the weighted chance increases by +5, but is capped at +25.
*If the Sim is a [[SimBot]], a [[ghost]], or an [[imaginary friend]], the weighted chance increases by +10. If the Sim is a [[Vampire (The Sims 3)|vampire]] or a [[mummy]], the chance decreases by -10.
Line 404 ⟶ 407:
Sims with '''Competitive Eater''' lifetime reward has numerous advantages in addition to boosted weighted chance. They will not get stuffed or fat from participating in the contest, and they will not vomit or get nauseous.
 
====Roller skating rink ====
[[File:Festival summer - roller skating rink.jpg|210px|thumb|Sims roller skating]]
Roller skating rink is a common festival object in most seasons. There are two sizes of roller skating rinks; small and large. Small rink can have 5 skaters, while large rink can have 5 skaters in the outer lane and 3 in the inner lane. Skating will grant 5 festival tickets no matter how long Sims skate. Sims with [[Bot Fan]] trait in their robot form cannot skate.
 
Skating on the skating rink increases the [[Secret skillsskill#Seasons|hidden Skating skill]]. Sims with low Skating skill will start skating slowly and wobbly. At level 2, they will start skating fast. At level 3, they can spin alone or with another skater in the middle of the rink. The higher the skill, the better they spin alone. At level 4, they can skate backwards. The hidden skill goes up to level 6. Sims can ask anyone to spin together regardless of [[relationship]].
 
[[Ghost]]s, [[Mummy|mummies]], [[SimBot]]s,  [[Vampire (The Sims 3)|vampires]], [[imaginary friend]]s in their toy form, [[genie]]s, [[Fairy|fairies]], [[Werewolf|werewolves]] in their wolf form, and [[zombie]]s will not skate on the skating rink. Instead, they will run or hover around. In addition, they cannot skate backwards or spin. [[Plumbot]]s will not wear skating shoes, but will still use the normal skating animation.
 
==== Water balloon fight====
[[File:Festival summer - water balloon fight.jpg|210px|thumb|Sims having a water balloon fight]]
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 100 points will win the game and earn 25 festival tickets. The losing team will earn 5 festival tickets. Winning Sims will get "In Your Face" moodlet, and "One Man Army" moodlet if they're outnumbered.
Line 418 ⟶ 421:
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' [[Secret skillsskill#Seasons|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:
 
*The hidden Ball Fighting skill of 0 to 3 has the chance of 30%, 50%, 65%, and 80%.
*Positive traits and moodlets that will give +5% are [[Athletic (trait)|Athletic]], [[Lucky]], [[Brave]], [[Daredevil]], [[Disciplined]], "Well Rested," and "Adrenaline Rush"
Line 428 ⟶ 432:
====Soccer goal====
[[File:Festival summer - soccer goal 1.jpg|210px|thumb|Sims practicing shootout]]
Sims can practice alone or shootout against another Sim with the [[goalpost|soccer goal]]. [[Plumbot]]s 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. Sims with [[Childish]], [[Good Sense of Humor]], [[Evil]], and [[Mean Spirited]] traits are more likely to taunt, while Sims with [[Grumpy]] and [[No Sense of Humor]] will not.
 
Practicing shootout increases Sim's [[Athletic (skill)|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.
Line 445 ⟶ 449:
 
===Fall festival===
==== Pie eating contest ====
[[File:Festival fall - pie eating contest.jpg|210px|thumb|Sims competing in a pie eating contest]]
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.
Line 459 ⟶ 463:
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. If any of the participants has germs, there's a 50% chance that the other contestants will get sick as well.
 
====Haunted house ====
[[File:Festival fall - haunted house.jpg|210px|thumb|Sims queuing to enter the haunted house]]
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.
Line 497 ⟶ 501:
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 [[Secret skillsskill#Seasons|hidden Snowboarding skill]]. The skill goes up to level 3. The higher the skill, the more likely Sims will do tricks, and the less likely they will fall while doing tricks.
 
==The Sims 4: City Living ==
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.
To see when the next festival is going to take place, you can use the “Read About Festival” interaction on the bulletin boards in apartments, or read about the festival on dynamic signs located around San Myshuno. The informational pop-up for each festival will let you know what activities, competitions, and schedules are relevant for each festival.

===Romance FestivalGeekcon===
==== Hackathon ====
*Schedule: Saturdays 5:00 p.m. – 1:00 a.m.
[[File:Geekcon - Hackathon.png|210px|thumb|Sims competing in Hackathon]]
*Location: Fashion District
During Geekcon, the computers at the festival start to glow. It indicates that there is a competition called Hackathon going on, that is only for Sims with a high [[programming]] skill and having it increases the chances of winning either a computer or a [[Future Cube]]. However, it does not stop Sims with a lower programming skill or Sims who doesn't have that skill at all from competing in the competition.
*Moodlet: Savory Aromas (Inspired +1)
*Ideal mood: [[Flirty (emotion)|Flirty]]
 
====Ultimate Gaming Test====
The Romance Festival encourages Sims to develop their romantic relationships. Drinking the Sakura Tea from the fountain will give your Sim a Botanic Fragrance moodlet. Sims with this buff active will glow with a faint pink aura. There is also a Romance Guru. This NPC will give your Sim a moodlet based on his insight on the Sims future in relationships. He will also interact with your Sim and spread the romantic vibe by throwing petals. Sims can also celebrate by scattering petals about.
[[File:Geekcon - Ultimate Gaming Test.png|210px|thumb|Sims competing in the Ultimate Gaming Test]]
Another competition in Geekcon alongside Hackathon is the Ultimate Gaming Test. It is indicated when the motion based gaming consoles start to glow, and is usually towards to Sims with a high [[video gaming]] skill. But like Hackathon, Sims with a low video gaming skill or Sims who doesn't have that skill at all are still able to compete. The Ultimate Gaming Test requires Sims to play through different video games in order to win. When the competition ends, a notification will appear telling the points from 0-100 to the Sim who participated and if the Sim passed the test, they will receive either a computer or a Future Cube as a prize.
 
====Other activities ====
The Romance Festival also houses painting easels, and a [[wedding arch]] complete with fireworks. With all this in place, your Sims can have a “Heat of the Moment Proposal” and get married on the spot.
[[File:Geekcon - Overview.png|210px|thumb|An overview of Geekcon]]
At Geekcon, Sims will gain [[skill]]s faster than normally. Sims in costumes (called cosplayers) will spawn at this festival and Sims can take selfies with them. Along with food stands and swag stands, the festival has two rockets that grants Sims to have an opportunity to explore space. One of the rockets is already built, but the second rocket has to made from scratch. Video game consoles are also present that Sims play with. There are multiple video gaming consoles, but only one [[television]] with one console connected, meaning that the other consoles are not being able to be used and Sims can not buy them either. An observatory is also located in this festival.

*Location: Spice Market
During a Flea Market various object will spawn and Sims can buy them. These objects are usually cheaper then their counterpart in Buy Mode and are found in the Household Inventory after purchasing. The objects will be random each time the festival occurs. There are also multiple street galleries and tables located at the festival. These will usually be run by an NPC Sim and offer various collectibles. It is a good way to gain possible rare ones.

*'''Trading''' – This is the perfect chance for trading off duplicates of extra inventory items. During the Flea Market, Sims can use the “Ask to Trade Collectibles” interaction to select any qualifying object in your inventory. The object you give in return is the same type of random collectible. Sims can trade the following types of items:
Trading is a big part of Flea Market. Sims can "Ask to Trade Collectibles" with other Sims if there is a collectible in their inventory. Doing this will grant the Sim who used the interaction a random collectible of the same type the Sim traded to the another Sim. However, the opposing Sim might not always be in the mood for trading, but the Sim can easily solve it by improving their relationship. Sims can trade crystals, fossils, frogs, metals, My Sims trophies, posters and [[snow globe]]s.

==The Sims 4: Snowy Escape==
Note: The Flea Market does not have a swag vendor, but does have some food carts.
Festivals make a return in ''[[The Sims 4: Snowy Escape]]''. Three festivals occur regularly in [[Mt. Komorebi]], in a similar fashion to those in [[San Myshuno]]: Festival of Lights, Festival of Snow and Festival of Youth. Each festival happens in one of the three neighborhoods in Mt. Komorebi.
 
In each neighborhood there is an information board, where Sims can see the festival schedule and read about the next festival, such as what activities and traditions this festival has to offer.
 
Like ''[[The Sims 4: City Living]]'', when a festival is about to begin, an identifying jingle will play and a notification will appear letting the player know. 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 in the neighborhood where the festival is located. 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.
 
===Schedules===
Each festival has its own schedule that consists of time, day and location. Unlike [[San Myshuno]] festivals, festivals in Mt. Komorebi only appear on weekends.
