Santa Claus

Santa Claus is a NPC from The Sims: Livin' Large and The Sims 2: Holiday Party Pack that may appear on a Sim's lot and leave presents.

In The Sims: Livin' Large, 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, Santa will appear at around 3:00AM. 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. Sims can unwrap these for Fun, but they will not actually contain anything. However, Santa will also leave a real present for the household, and those 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 constantly. If your sim interacts with Santa Claus, they will become best friends even though his face doesn't appear in the relationships panel.
