A "We Don't Celebrate" button for holidays.

I play a great many different families in different households, who are of varied ethnicities, beliefs, and species. I have holidays for everyone, but not everyone celebrates every holiday. And there are a lot of them. But there's no way to dismiss the holiday window without getting an "awful holiday" message and moodlet. It's really annoying. Can we fix this?

In other games I've gone in and edited the holidays that I wanted to keep so that they just had one or two easily-met requirements, like real holidays, and gotten rid of a bunch of the more annoying ones, like Neighborhood Brawl or Talk Like A Pirate Day.
I'd love if you could set what holidays a sim celebrated on an individual basis, though.
It obviously shouldn't have to happen, but it works.
UI Cheats is basically an essential mod.
Don't want to celebrate a holiday? End it and erase the negative moodlets.
Sims mourning the death of someone they barely knew? Erase the negative moodlets.
You took one sim off the lot while everyone was asleep, came back a couple of hours later, and now everyone is awake and all their needs are jacked up? Put their needs where they should be.
It shouldn't need to be essential, but there's so many weird quirks and oversights in the game that I can't imagine trying to play without it anymore.
Yes, in the same household I have sims who would love a holiday and sims who would hate it or feel indifferent about it and then feel entirely different about another holiday but someone always has to get sad about it?
I mean, admittedly I don't play on rotation, so it's not something that directly impacts me. But it's still something that would be nice to have in the game.
I agree with OP and I agree with this.
I’d like an option in CAS that would allow the player to determine what holidays they celebrate. After saving the household, the sims’ individual preferences are automatically transferred onto the calendar, similar to the way their individual ‘busy’ (work or school) schedule is visible, since this is also not the same for each sim.
Yes, that would be perfect. Then we could also have things like anniversaries as well.
If you click don’t celebrate, you get nothing. If you don’t click it but don’t do the traditions, [i]then[/i] you should get a negative moodlet.
