My Sims are experiencing Winterfest for the first time (and I'm DYING) and all is well except for one tiny issue... Father Winter showed up, put presents under the tree, and is now just wandering around the house, drinking excessive amounts of orange juice from my fridge. He's been here for several hours now.When will he leave?

I wonder if you can trap him in a room & starve him to death since he's just pulling a Kato Kaelin at this point.

I have been hearing quite a bit of negative things about this guy. At the moment I'm only in summer, but after hearing about this guy, I went over to that holiday and X out the part where Father Winter coming over. I'll add him back, only after they do something about that, I don't need another house guest who doesn't leave.

He appeared by the chimney around 8pm+ and left around 11pm+ in my game. He gave an expensive PC to my sim as a present. How nice of him :) I guess you have to ask for presents for him to complete his duty so he could leave? XD

Once Father Winter turned up he never left the neighborhood, kinda broken the immersion.

Unfortunately, he just seems to act like any other sim. He just wanders around and it makes him not feel special. What I liked about sims 2 was that the special NPC's were actually......special. Here you will see Father Winter and the SPring Bunny eating at the festival, walking around the world, etc......its just odd.

Yea Father Winter has overstayed his welcome. He keeps showing up tp My Sims house now. I want him in the game but not as a regular townie, he should only show up for Winterfest

He leaves my house fine, but then keeps calling me and inviting me out for drinks or to parties etc, and that really really annoys me! He shouldn't be a normal NPC - he should only be there for the holiday, or it completely ruins him!

I had the issue where he wouldn't leave for months, to fix this I invited him to the park. Then when we got there I ended the group and went home, leaving him there. He didn't come back but he does call and ask me if I want to talk sometimes (which is really annoying) but he doesn't come to my house and act like he lives there.
