No Father Winter I`m sad

Do you have a fireplace? He needs one to spawn.

doesnt need one my other sims house didnt have a fireplace either and he just wlked into the houe after spawning outside

I've had the same issue @DizzyDi34 like since the new Nov 10 patch, they don't spawn Father Christmas. Not even in Uni dorms or anything. It's so random.

Well, I just had the winter holiday in my game, and I had a fireplace, and he didn't show up for me either, darn it.

Turn Father Winter off until a patch or it will destroy your save.

Father Winter is currently bugged, best to remove him from Winterfest.

:( i guess will just use the present piles then

I've found that Father Winter only shows up about 50% of the time for me. Another odd thing; I've also noticed that sometimes gnomes don't show up for Harvestfest

Huh. I just had Winterfest and I had Father Winter appear and leave without issue. I’ll check the sizes of my save files out of curiosity. It’s not too late for me to revert back to an earlier save, but I’d really rather not! Is anyone else NOT having problems after Father Winter came?
