I'd love to see a mod that makes NPCs actually wear costumes on the holidays where 'Wear Costume' is a holiday tradition. If possible, I think a mod that makes 'Wear Costumes' a club activity and a lot of the other holiday traditions club activities would be great as well. I also wouldn't be opposed to try to make the first mod myself, tho I've never made a mod before so I'm not sure how successful I'd be. I have a decent amount of experience with Python and I'm planning on looking at the tutorials on this site. But if anyone has any advice on where to get started when trying to mod this, I'd appreciate that as well! My game plan if no one wants to make this mod is to inspect the code, figure out what lines of code result in the change outfit action of NPCs (like when you ask them to change into their formal wear, swimwear, etc.), somehow connect that change to the specific outfits given to playable sims for the 'Wear Costumes', and then have that trigger during the holiday tradition 'Wear Costumes'. Does that seem like a reasonable approach?

I don't know if this would help or not, but Little Ms Sam has a mod that let's you assign a "dress code" (Swimwear, Party, Cold Weather, etc.) to a given lot. Any Sim, NPC or otherwise, that steps onto the lot automatically changes their outfit to match the dress code trait you've assigned to the lot. I used it to make every Sim that walked onto my Wedding Venue lot automatically change into Formal outfit, even the ones that wander in uninvited. I know that's not what you're trying to do, but maybe reverse-engineering the code may lead you to some insights on how to begin. [LMS4 - Dress Code Custom Lot Traits]I don't know if doing this would violate her ToU (or even if she has a ToU, I couldn't find one on her site), but since you're not really copying her code, just using it to better understand how the game interprets outfit change triggers, and how to manipulate those triggers for your own mod, I can't imagine that it would be a problem. You might ask her though, just to be safe. Who knows? She might even give you a hand.
