This list contains both traditional and off-the-wall holiday ideas to spice up your sim’s seasons calendar. I’ve listed the holiday name first and then the traditions that go along with them. They’re divided up by season, but based on your culture or preference, feel free to move them around. And of course, change the holiday names as you see fit.

I didn’t include the pre-made holidays on this list but if yours happen to have been removed from your calendar, you can remake them using the details on the sims wiki.

And because I’m obsessed with sims 4 mods, I’ve included a little treat at the end of this post. I’ll be sharing the sims 4 holiday mods I use in my game, so you’ll be able to create even more variety in your calendar!

This post is a list of sims 4 holiday ideas.

Sims 4 Holiday Tradition Mods

If you’re feeling bored with the holidays you can create in the sims 4, I highly suggest downloading some holiday mods. With these mods, you can come up with ENDLESS sims 4 holiday ideas. I’ll say it forever & ever: mods save the sims 4.

Custom Holiday Traditions by KiaraSims4Mods

sims 4 holiday list

This sims 4 holiday list could truly go on forever if I included all of the custom holiday traditions that come with this mod! I counted at least 60 new holiday traditions you can download for free.

The traditions include activities like go shopping, sunbathe, go hiking, carve pumpkins, adopt a pet, woohoo, volunteer, etc.

Using this sims 4 holiday traditions mod, I created a custom holiday: Summer Abroad. On this holiday, your sims will go on vacation, eat cultural dishes, go sailing, and of course, take lots of photos!

I really wish the sim’s team would continue updating things from older expansions like the holiday traditions to help make the game feel more cohesive. Luckily, we have amazing modders who give their time (for free!) to helping make the sims 4 the best game it can be.

(If you happen to have the extra dollar a month, it would be great If you could support Kiara on Patreon. I’m constantly linking to her stuff. It’s always great and there’s a TON of it.)

Random Holiday Traditions Mod by LittleMsSam

sims 4 seasons custom holidays

This sims 4 holiday mod is essentially the same as the one listed above, but the custom holiday traditions come all together in one singular mod, so you won’t have to download each one separately.

Some of the holiday traditions do overlap with the previous mod, but there are a few unique traditions such as do laundry, darts, dance, play instruments, & more!

If you only want to download specific holiday traditions from this mod, LittleMsSam does give you the separated files in the download file. Just be sure to read the instructions in the file if you’re not entirely sure what to do.

Using this mod, I created a fun little holiday for the kiddos: Slumber Party! The kids will invite guests, watch movies, eat ice cream, and (hopefully for the parents’ sake) sleep.

(Again, if you have anything to spare, please head over to LittleMsSam’s Patreon and consider subscribing to show support to the amazing modders who give us so much great sims 4 content for free.)

Thank you for posting this. I was struggling so much trying to come up with holidays for my sims. Now I might actually need to use the longer seasons to fit them all in.

So glad it was helpful!😊 And yeah, I sometimes switch to two-week seasons just so my sims have time for lots of seasonal activities.
