Santa Claus

Santa Claus is a NPC that may appear on a sim’s lot and leave presents if a Sim prepares a plate of cookies near a Christmas tree and a fireplace, and if all of the sims in the household are asleep by midnight. When Santa comes the buy mode and build mode options are not available (much like when a fire occurs).

Santa will leave a present for each member of the household and the presents range from chess sets to televisions.

With The Sims 2: Holiday Party Pack, Santa Claus will appear if there is a Christmas tree on the lot and Santa cookies were baked. Children can meet him and he will eat Santa cookies. He will leave one present. If there are cookies left for him to eat he will leave a good present otherwise he will leave coal. A downside is that he'll use the toilet constantlly.
