Ok so I pre ordered the sims 3 seasons and got the game yesterday. I was really exited for winter and the lights and decorations, but I couldn't figure out how to put up the holiday house lights! I could put them up on other sims houses, except mine! :cry: I tried clicking on my front door as they said I should, but it just said "lock..." or "go home" and that was about it. I was so angry! I tried everything but couldn't figure it out!!!

I also had this problem I just switched the door and it worked :lol:

TO the person who keeps writing and chastizing anyone who continues to reply:There are a lot of us having this issue and, while the OP may have figured it out, we are still looking for answers. If you Google "Sims 3 unable to hang holiday lights", this thread comes up so, if others want to add additional comments, please go about your business and refrain from contributing nothing.As for me, I'm running a game wihtout CC and can't get the lights on my house. I don't have a flat roof and can get the option for other houses. My Sim moved houses but I used the same front door - a store item - so that might be my problem. I'll try a different door and hopefully that will work.

All these people are doing is repeating what everyone else has already said so there really is no need to get rude with me and chastise me about letting people know that this is an old and dead thread... :roll:I can post the same thing over and over if I want to, so please don't tell me what to do, so you mind your own business. Don't like what I got to say then don't read my posts. Easy as that... :wink:

Ok what you have to do is go up all the floors until you see the roof then click the front door it should say lock set as front door and holiday house lights click that then click hanging then it should be done worked on mine

plus, my purchase history is down so I cant download the lce lounge!

Are yout trying on a CC house or an EA house? When I first played I was using a CC house and the lights didnt show up as an option for me. I don't know if that happens with every cc house or if something was wrong with the one I was using.

Make sure you are not inn pause mode. When I clicked on my front door the "Hand Holiday Lights..." button didn't show up and it showed up on my back door. I don't think there is a too early time. It just has to be in the season of winter. I hung mine on Sunday in the game and Thursday is Snowflake Day, or I guess, Christmas.

Welcome to the forums... :)

You do realize that this is from last year and I am sure that the person who posted this has already figured out how to put the lights up... :wink: You can also hang your lights up anytime of the year, it does not need to be winter. The lights will stay up all through the different seasons.

I just had to replace my roof to hang lights. It turns out flat roofs CANNOT hang lights :/ It now works!

I also had this problem when I replaced what was the original 'front door'. It would not work for me until I chose another door to designate as the 'front door'.

Hi and welcome to the forum... :)

I'm pretty sure that the OP finally got their answer since this thread was made last November. I'm pretty sure that the OP isn't still waiting on an answer... :wink:
