Why no Santa NPC?

Ever since I saw the items and the Santa NPC in a picture from S2, I've wanted it. At least in S3 we had some Christmas type things, but years later, our holidays are still lacking and every holiday, I expect them to cash in on it and they never do.

People would be over the moon for a Valentine's Day pack with flowers, candy, cards, an "I love you" interaction to whomever you want to say it to. Sweet hairstyles, clothes, fingernail polish, decorations for the house, and a couple of stuffed animals for the kids. Catloverplayer's romantic rug, tub, and things requested so much in S3 that never came to be. Maybe even one stationary car for woohoo.

An Easter pack with real egg hunting that we can play any time of the year like in S3 and maybe even throw in the chickens and ability to buy them, sell them, eat their eggs, and have baby chicks. Ability to color eggs together and maybe decorate them with stickers ect. An Easter bunny stand where the kids can sit on Bunny NPC's lap to take a picture. Colorful clothes, more flowers, and everything springy.

Halloween fleshed out with décor, outfits, weird hairstyles, mismatched socks, scary teeth like Spider-Man 3's black spidy at the end with all the teeth. A mirror that is scary and talks to you. Pictures that do weird things. A scary doll that says creepy things. And maybe not even a gamepack, but an EP with Halloween town and scary clowns and the ability to look like them. Striped pants like in Adam's Family and their car. A haunted house like in S3 or maybe even a real house for our sims to go into. Prank calls. Scary calls that give a scared mood. Fleshing out the Grim reaper and adding the cemetery with services, wills, caskets, ect. I would love to have the ability to have sims die on your lot for years and their ghosts be uncontrolled, but their ghost added to your lot through the headstone. That way you could have many ghosts "trapped" on your lot.

Thanksgiving with pioneer type clothes and many types of Indian clothes so no one will complain. Turkey party. Since it is all about the food, many recipes that are made during the holidays could come in.

And as my title said, Why no Santa NPC. Pretty sure people would go crazy for a fleshed out pack. I can barely remember the picture, but I do remember the Santa and a beautiful painting. There was more I liked, but I can't remember it at all. I think I will try a poll and see what all of you think.

Also, did we get anything new/free with the January patch?

Holidays normally comes with Seasons. So, if they didn't listen to a vocal few who want a seasons GP, we should get all the normal Seasons pack stuff. Hopefully that will include some version of a Santa.

Spam block just means you have to wait four minutes before posting again. You didn't do anything to cause it. Everyone has to wait a few minutes so people cannot spam posts by reposting inappropriate amounts of posts at once.

As for holidays, I look forward to them but not only do they come with Seasons (they really don't give away that much content at a time in an update) but they have to be careful creating holidays as different cultures celebrate differently.

Thanks for the spam block info. I haven't encountered that before. As for the holidays, they can always add things from different cultures and do in adventure packs like the Jungle one coming up. It is just ours is the only one anyone fusses about, except for the Native Americans/Indian stuff they had in the S3. They could put in several Indian outfits/headdresses if they do a future Thanksgiving. Just like in S3, if you don't want it, you don't have to use it just like the tiki bar and many other things in The Sims.

If they ever add seasons, with actual seasons like summer, spring, fall and winter. There could be an event that happens once, on the last day of winter. It could feature santa and he could give your sims a present, or just give them a positive moodlet. He could visit the sims house late at night, with presents, or there could be an opportunity to travel to his grotto and receive the benefits there. That would be mid day though, in case it happens to be a school day the next. Travelling would be a pain.

Not really. Once you bring up the party for the holidays, it could have something/box that says include Santa and that would be our choice. The party could be programed to last till midnight and right before that, the Santa could leave gifts and leave. I don't see it being any harder than broomhilda coming from the closet when summoned and leaving at dismissal.

All the movies call them Indians and that is how they are listed in history books and referred too. We live right near a large tribe and they don't care. I think it is even plastered all over their signs and things they sell. As Ben Carson said, the news world loves to cause conflict so they can write about it and pit us against each other. My point was that if they offer an array of outfits that more groups would feel included. The way the S4 is fixed in CAS where outfits not only have different looks, but are sometimes different, would be a great way to do that. One headpiece, but several styles. Same with the clothes.

I want this

I do too. As I said, if they did it with a party, simmers could pick and choose easily what they want in their games. This is seen in the groups/clubs, the sales store/dining uniforms ect. Just as with clubs, we could choose what to use and not all from the party menu.

Happy Simming, simmers. :)

Not only that but we can't even get an official free autumn décor set but yes I would love a Santa Npc and also Santa outfits and beards for our sims.
