It's Winterfest in my game. There are four Child Sims, a Toddler Sim and one infant. Since the infants are merely objects, I'm not too concerned about that. However, the four eldest Child Sims had their chance to 'ask for present' from Father Winter. Even some of the YAs and Teens, too. However, little Andrew must have asked at least five times. Father Winter would gaze at him, as if he heard the request, but I'm thinking he can't interpret Babble. At any rate, I did a debug on Father Winter, hoping it was just him. No, that didn't get little Andrew the gift he so sweetly asked for. Instead, it merely sent Father Winter on his escape route, via the parents' bedroom fireplace. Poor, wee Andrew. I feel so sorry for the little guy. And this isn't the first of my Toddler Sims who got dissed by Father Winter. I think he should be able to understand Babble. It's just another language, or almost language, after all. The general gist should be well understood. I say we all Protest Father Winter. We'll show him by not inviting him to Winterfest from here on out. What do you say, are you with me?

He's a family friend, though and if Erik beat the feathers out of him, it could damage his Pristine reputation and he and I would both have to put up with the phone calls about how he should treat Sims better, yadayada.

If anybody should understand toddler babble it should be the one who still has the innocent soul of a child within them. That's how I always thought of Father Winter/Santa. He may be an adult but he has at least a portion of his soul that still has that childlike innocence and sense of wonder and joy. Surely he can speak the language of any child.

Sadly I haven't seen the whole movie but after seeing your post I went to look up that scene, and it perfectly captures what I think of with Father Winter. Now I have to find it and watch it. I love those types of movies.

Well, a family friend of your sim is different but an unknown one, nope I attack. But one time Cassandra Goth attacked Father Winter on her own, I believe she just didn't like him, and she had issues with her own father also and mother. I don't like the little kids and toddlers in the household to get ignored after Father Winter been there for a long while eating on food and playing video games after the kids and toddlers been asking him for a gift. I had one Father Winter kiss one of my sims out of the blue just crazy.

Maybe little Andrew was on the Naughty List for something you didn't see? The toddlers in my game are always making a mess on the floor.

I guess you could say I'm boycotting Father Winter because I haven't played long enough to make it to Winterfest in a while. My current household is on hold until High School Years (I always want to call it High School Stories) comes out.

Instead of playing, I've been watching Highlander: The Series again. It's been years.

I read that as ''we'll shoot him'' and was like ''well thats dramatic'' but I was still on board :lol:
He did also do that to few of Vladdys toddlers back in the day
but I don't have the save anymore
might be he doesn't like toddlers hmm...

Come to think of it its been a while since I had toddler winterfest with this playing multiple households thing
maybe next winterfest season if i still remember I shall play some household with toddlers

maybe Gregs toddlers :hushed: :heart:
Well, if my computer does not explode when i add Weregreg pack one day

Father Winter isn't all he is hyped up to be lol! He gave my sim's toddler and child (both siblings) who are so cute and sweet 1 large pet poop each. They were devastated.

I would just buy something for the kiddos, stuff it in the parent's inventory, and gift it. Leave it to a woman- even your mother- to clean up a man's mess. :p

I just delete all of the holidays, tho. My Sims are usually survivalists with no sense of a world beyond their own adventures.
