New X-mas ideas

I have a few ideas if the Sims team would like to give us a few new freebies for the holidays.


Recipies

  • Yule Log Cake - another Baking recipe
  • Make your own Gingerbread House with a few outcomes depending upon skill (could be updated with a design for Halloween)(see below for picture)
  • Pantetone - Baking recipe
  • Plum Pudding (see picture below)
  • "Mulled" Juice recipe
  • Eggnog for the punch dispensers
  • Wassail for the punch dispensers
  • Peppermint Hot Chocolate (see below for picture)
  • Peppermint Bark
  • Red Velvet Pancakes with Cream Cheese Sauce
  • Christmas Goose



    Classic Decorations

  • Super tall Nutcrackers to flank front doors
  • Table top Angel
  • Lighted reindeer
  • Holiday themed place setting at the tables
  • Train tracks that are place-able so that we can take model trains and place them around the holiday trees (see below)
  • "Take a picture with Santa (Father Winter) Chair" set for Adults, Kids, Dogs and Cats (like at the mall every year) could be updated for the Easter Bunny (Flower Bunny)
  • Cinnamon Brooms with a scent of cinnamon whenever a Sims comes near it
  • Color options for the stockings - Red & Green, Gold Brocade, Silver Brocade, Red & Tan Plaid (Rustic)
  • Amaryllis in a red pot - Often sent as a holiday gift would be fun if its something you could tend to and grow except its a potted plant
  • Extra tall holiday tree for public squares, shopping centers
  • I would love window candles as a clickable decor thing
  • Am I the only one who wants more Holiday Door mats?
  • Lighted Garland Front Door Surrounds for any door
  • Those lantern style tall lamps that have those vertical flag holders with a few associated holidays as choices for the flags
  • Garland/ Holiday decorated street lights for public spaces
  • Bell Tower/ Clock tower build set for public spaces where the clock/bell chimes the hour (See picture below)
  • Lighted Teardrop for lights (see picture below)
  • Holiday themed centerpieces for dining table (see below)


    Holiday Activities and Items to support that


  • Picking and send Holiday cards perhaps a card kiosk
  • Holiday ringtones for phones
  • New Years noise makers and hats
  • Sending digital holiday cards via e-mail
  • Traditional Santa Suit
  • Winter food Kiosk that sells Hot Apple Cider, Hot Chocolate, and Peppermint Hot Chocolate
  • A few more Simlish Winter Holiday songs

    • It irks me that hot cocoa isn't available for our sims homes and they can only enjoy it by purchasing a cup at the food cart.

      Yes prehaps a Winter Wonderland Destination Pack could add hot chocolate for sims to drink anywhere. There is a mod now for that.


      I'd like to do the Hot Cocoa like they did it in the Simpson's Movie as one recipe and Peppermint as another. But I'm a firm proponent of certain foods giving off special moodlets particular to the food or drink.
