      No, I gave up.

      The animation is too slow and not fun to watch like TS3.
      I prefer the style of The Sims 2 and The Sims FreePlay.

      Snowballfights, yes. I particularly like the animation when a sim pelts another sim with snow and the facial expression of the victim. But the actual exchange of snowballs was indeed done better in Sims 2. Way more dynamic.

      I can remember only one instance of a waterballoon fight at a nudist beach. (Give me water pistols instead, please!)

      I have actually used water balloon fight quite a lot lately and I did use snowball fight once or twice during the last winter in my game. I wish there were more games for children to play outside together, but since there isn't I'm using the options we have.

      Mud fights... not that much :lol:

      I use the snowball fight a lot because it's something kids can do together. I haven't used the water balloon fight much because it seems slow.

      Yes, because I use mods that produce better animations :D Sadly the modder delisted the mod, and no longer avialble for download, which is why I am never removing it in my game ahaha. In that mod, sims are able to throw snow/water balloon without stopping and continously

      Exactly. There are so many things like this in the game. Even when I'd like my Sims to do 'fun' activities, they take so long that it messes up the overall timing. Doing 1/4 of a 'fun' activity per day seems rather spare.

      Mostly water balloon fights but the pathing can be so silly. The WB bucket looks cute in the backyard & parks during spring/summer.

      Of course. That's like the closest to old kid's games that we have. It's nice to have siblings of different ages play together.

      Occasionally. I am glad they got rid of the silly running like crazy.

      When I'm playing with kid sims yeah I use those interactions quite frequently during the summer and winter. It's one of the only activities that can be done with more than 4 sims. So many activities are locked to a max of 4 sims, which is hard to work around when my sims friend groups are usually around 5 sims. Someone is always getting left out otherwise.

      The last couple of time I used it my sims did absolutely nothing, so I stopped trying to use it.

      I do but with a mod. Without the mod both of those are fairly useless because they're boring.

      Bienchen has a mod for it, I haven't tried it yet, but I have D/L'd and will try it myself.

      It's called "moredynamicballfights"

      The Description States:
      Reduces the idle time spans during a snowball/waterballon/mudfight.

      It's about 1/2 way down the page ..... https://bienchen.sems-own-world.de/seasons/

      Snowball fight I use regularly at Yukimatsu festival, because they get sentiment after that. Water balloons fight I use when my sim happened to be on the lot in summer which spawns them. I also put them on rentals in Sulani. I like watching sims having fun, even if that is not the most dynamic activity in the world.

      I tried them once and never again for how slow and poorly animated they are.

      Once, but there's just something off about it with how mechanically scripted the whole thing looks.

      I never use snow ball fight, but I'll use water balloon fights only on the summer holiday.
