He tends to show up on the late side around 8 PM. At first I thought he wasn't coming, but checked the game clock and it was a tad too early. He did show up around 8 however. Still not all of my Sims were able to greet him before he left.

He's always late in my games. He shows up usually between 8:30-9

Unless you have a mod, he needs a fireplace to spawn at. It doesn't have to be in the house but somewhere near the lot, at least. Someone mentioned he was bugged. The only bug I have experienced is getting him to leave hahahaha

?
There are worse things he could do than not leaving.

(This is last year’s winter holiday. He autonomously showed up with that sword!)

He doesn't need a fireplace, I hardly ever have a fireplace in my homes (because hello, ❤️❤️❤️❤️ sims!) and father winter always comes, he just spawns outside the house and walks right in, no mod needed, this is related to a bug, not the lack of fireplace.

Interesting. I've not had him spawn without one myself. Of course, most of my lots are private lots so that may be why. Who knows.

I never had him appear until I added a fireplace. I guess it was just coincidence.

I guess it wouldn't hurt anything to put a fireplace in if you don't have one and see what happens.

This is why I thought you needed one I guess.

From what I have been reading from other players on here, having no Father Winter might not be such a bad thing at all right now. Considering some of the other players are posting that Father Winter has been crashing their game lately.

had the bug associated with Winterfest; it's a bad one. deleted the holiday and now going to create my own and since I've never cared for him...adios!

I have deleted Father Winter in this Holiday, since he just laugh about my sim children, who were asking for a christmas gift. Several time I have tried, they didn't get one from him during the time before he left the house again. He can stay there, where ever he lives. He isn't welcome anymore. I'm still grudging about that failed Father Winter. :s

Father winter turned up in my game but wouldn't give out presents when asked for them.. I want my prezzys lol

I did not have any problem with Winterfest and Father Winter. He showed up when my family was staying at an SE rental turned residential. He did not stay very long so my seven sims could not all get a present, but one did. No crash or anything like that.
