Sims 3 seasons holiday lights?

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!!!

    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:
  • Yeah... I can't even find lights in the catalog - can anyone help me find where they are? :D I probably look like an idiot, sorry... :-o

    Just click on your front door and set as door. Then click again and it should bring up the little menu where you can pick hang lights. Just make sure you don't have a flat roof as the lights won't work with flat roofs.

    Hope this helps... :)
  • 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
  • You know, in all these responses, no one mentionned anything about hanging lights for sims living in apartments. How do we do that since we can't change the roof?
  • I've had nearly every sims hang up the lights, the want is fullfilled.....but I don't see any lights. I don't see any icicles. I've seen screenshots from other users so I know what to look for but there are no visible lights on amy of my sims houses even though I did indeed hang them.

    Mhmm, it's 2019 and I STILL have questions sometimes. These old boards have helped a lot.
