Deserted Festival Grounds

I don't know if I am the only one who suffers from it but in my neighborhoods, there aren't anybody during the festivals. Rarely one or two people show up, but nothing more.

I don't know about you, but it makes me irritated. I mean, what kind of festival is that, hanging all alone festival?!

Any ideas about solving it?

I have better luck having my Sims go to festivals after 5:00pm when not as many townies are at "work", also on weekends. But I think, like the nightclubs, it is largely a matter of your graphics card not being able to handle a lot of sims at one time. Also be sure to clear out your caches and DCBackup (should only have ccmerged file in it). Oh, and sometimes have more sims show up on the last day of the season--don't know why! Hope this helps some.
