Why won't father winter give gifts to toddlers?
I'm just really confused. Of all the sims in the game to not give gifts to, the little ones? Its weird that they can ask for presents and never get one and so they always have terrible holidays!

Yeah this still seems to be really broken to me.
I just did a very frustrating full-house Winterfest, and I finally figured out that they had to Talk to Stranger first, or else Ask for Present wouldn't do anything at all, and then they still had to had to Ask for Present several times, and then he would eventually give them a gift and I'd see a notification of what it was, but it still wouldn't register for their holiday requirements.
I tried reloading and doing it as perfectly and thoroughly as possible, asking as many times as they were allowed before he disappeared, but it never actually gave them the checkmark on their holiday requirements.
Seems really, really broken.
Even if some of it is on purpose, it really doesn't work the way anyone would intuitively expect it to, which is a bad player experience.
Father winter should be delivering gifts to the children and already know them, know everything about them even, that's part of the lore. He shouldn't be a stranger to them, and they shouldn't be unknown to him. He knows if you are sleeping, he knows if you're awake, he knows if you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness' sake! (etc.)
Broken. Bad experience, both for them and for me.
