Santa is not welcome!

Aw sorry about your toddlers @GalacticGal :( I've had no trouble with Father Winter giving gifts to toddlers. I have found though that everyone in the household needs to wait their turn asking for gifts-- if too many people ask at once then Father Winter tends only to respond to one of them. I wonder if your issue might be either that or a mod?

I do tend to rush things. He's normally only around for what seems like too short a time to get to everybody. Next time, I think I'll have the adults stand back until the Tots have had their turn. Could very well be Player Malfunction. LOL

@Atreya33 Thank you for making it clear the holidays have to be edited to include those activities. :)

I believe there is a mod that fixes Santa from staying too long but I can't remember the name.

Cannot help but chuckle everytime I see the topic of this thread :D At very beginning I thought someone was telling about their IRL celebration methods :p

Off topic, sorry, please carry on :)

I don't have a problem with Father Winter either. Just get the toddler to 'talk to stranger' couple of times, then the option 'ask for present' appears under the help social menu.

I will definitely try that next time sims have Christmas. It always upset me when he didn't give presents to the little guys. He usually gives really great presents!

While we are big fans of Santa in real life, we have mixed feelings about Father Winter at our house. He does bring some cool gifts to most of the Sims in the household, but we've seen him ignore Toddlers, too. (Thanks for the suggestion about a way to fix that, @cornflake88 .) Clement can be a humorous sight when he's in his Santa attire, doing random Townie things.

On the other hand, he overstays his welcome...but that's a minor inconvenience compared to his other holiday "tradition."

Most of the time, Father Winter arrives in a flirtatious mood. He's spoiled more than one holiday by hitting on members of the household. He usually chooses someone who is involved in a relationship, as if his goal is to create as much drama as possible. He's fortunate one of my Sims hasn't chosen to deck more than the halls.

First time in my game I encountered Father Winter/Clement Frost was during a one million similions challenge.
He is now a husband to my Sim in the challenge, and has one daughter, and one more child on the way.
Since he is occupied with a family, another father winter replaced him for his duties.
So, instead of getting rid of him, I just brought him into my gameplay.
He came for a booty call, and he got it.
