Christmas Tree does not Light.

I was playing my desert family in Oasis Springs and since it doesn't snow there because the gods of EA made it so I decided in the winter to take my sims to Granite Falls to have a little winter fest fun. I put the tree inside the cabin and the presents pile ahead of time, because for some reason you can't take your own tree because you can't put it in your inventory, or the present package or decoration box. Well anyways when it was time to decorate the true, you can put the ornaments on the tree, but on the menu where it says to light tree with is greyed out which says, Power Shutoff: Pay your Bill. However there is no bill to pay at the mailbox and no option on the phone.

  • Sounds like Granite Falls homes don't have power run to them...

    The places to stay in Granite Falls aren't normal residential lots, so maybe that's an issue for Christmas trees. Unfortunate if there's an issue with them in vacation destinations. Hopefully someone who has a workaround or fix will see your thread and offer some advice.
  • Its just a bug in that object because, they can cook and the lights are on in the cabin. Also the Christmas tree you get to decorate you should be able to earn fame singing around the tree. However I got it to light when I just turned it on like a regular light, but that really takes the fun out of it.

    Do you have cc or mods?
  • No its just a glitch in the game, because it treats the tree like a lamp but you can light it at your residents while singing Christmas songs. Not really a game breaker, just incompatible coding between packs.
