To kick things off, one of the most significant features of this expansion pack is the calendar.
So, let's talk about it! The calendar includes all upcoming holidays. Each one includes traditions
to complete that make progress toward your Sim having an awesome time celebrating. Plus,
predicted weather conditions can help Sims plan ahead. You'll also see the schedule of your
Sim's household while checking out the calendar, including when they have to go to work.
And to make even more planning possible, Sims' birthdays will be featured on the calendar.
Pop open some nectar (for New Year's, that is) because all this and more will be in one place.
Now that's an organized Sims game.
How do you think this is going to work?
I have a feeling it's going to have a major effect on gameplay. Similar to the group feature in Get To Work.

Am I too lost?
For a moment I thought "OH I hope it is an object!"
Then, wait, no never mind. My sims are obsessed with the Family Bulletin Board. I don't need something else that they refuse to leave alone!
I remember when Get Together was coming out and I first heard about the club/group system and I thought - Is that it? - and was most disappointed, but when I actually got the EP I thought it was a great feature that could be put to many uses.
(Though you only actually need a cake to age sims, not a full party)
Exactly my point!
You could always play with aging off then age sims on whatever day they were born.
E.G, Born on Day 3 Sum, Y1 - ages to Toddler on Day 3 Sum, Y2 and to Child on Day 3 Sum, Y8
Maybe they'll give us a new style of family noticeboard, and add both Seasons and Parenthood functionality to both.
Now I wonder if the calendar will keep track on how many years you play (how many full season cycles have past). It'd be pretty cool!

Good idea. My family shares a calendar on our phones so we know what everyone else has planned.
YES!! I can't count how many invites I've had to decline because my sim was right in the middle of something else. Hopefully it applies to that also.
I'm not the micro-managing type of player, but I can totally see the calendar being useful in my Save for the 100 Baby Challenge....knowing when their birthdays & doing some pre-planning sounds great.
