I just discovered/realised that Elder sims apparently don't care about Night on the Town, the calendar event when you can get free food and drink in any venue serving them. That seems like a weird and ageist oversight. I knew child sims don't care either but the same applies - surely any sim has should appreciate freebies, regardless of their age?
Then again, I'm sure I've seen teen and child sims not care about Harvestfest. I'm not American so Thanksgiving is a thing I see on TV or hear about from online friends, but having younger sims not care about the festive meal and so forth seems odd to me.
Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven.

Strangely. my vampires don't ignore the Grand Meal tradition due to their vampirism. Lamia ignores it due to her life stage, while mum Carmilla doesn't have it greyed out even though human food makes her sick. Lamia's grandpa, Vlad (not canon Vlad, this is a guy of my creation), ignores it because he has the mean trait. Lamia's toddler brother Draugr loves the same tradition because he has the clingy trait - I am not sure of the logic there!
When it comes to vampires, a funny solution would be to give them a "Pretend to Eat" option, if they're high enough with the Vampire Lore skill. I can imagine that being a useful skill for those trying to conceal their status as vampires.
It would be nice if we could decide for ourselves.
The name of the holiday seems misleading, in that case.
That's how it sounds, but it's not what actually happens. There's no benefit to doing a "pub crawl."

btw: I always thought that event was to take a night out, like visiting a night club, acting, drinking and behaving a bit irresponsible, so I never would send my elders out. A free meal would not be as tempting because I could just cheat their hunger bar for free, lol. Love restaurants though, often send my sims there even if they are not very hungry.
It might have been a better idea to just remove younger sims from things like the lottery and night on the town, and make older sims available for everything but have their traits decide instead.
