Christmas tree

A Christmas tree is a holiday item available in The Sims: Livin' Large, The Sims 2: Holiday Party Pack, The Sims 4: Holiday Celebration Pack and The Sims 4: Seasons. This item, along with cookies and a fireplace, is required to make Santa Claus appear.

It also appears in The Sims 3 Store as a part of the More Holiday Presents set. However, in the The Sims 3 it is only a light, and Santa will not appear if the player adds the tree to their game.

The Sims: Livin' Large
A Christmas tree is a decorative object from The Sims: Livin' Large. It can be used to summon Santa Claus. In order to do so, a Christmas tree needs to be placed near a fireplace and a plate of cookies. If all Sims are asleep, Santa will appear around 3 AM and leave a present for the family.

The Sims 2: Holiday Party Pack
Christmas trees return in The Sims 2: Holiday Party Pack and The Sims 2: Happy Holiday Stuff. If a Christmas tree, along with a plate of Santa cookies, are present on the lot, Santa Claus will appear at night. Sims can turn on the decorative lights on the Christmas tree; if the lights are left on for too long, however, the tree will catch on fire.

The Sims 3 Store
The Christmas Tree can be downloaded as a part the More Holiday Presents free set from The Sims 3 Store. It is only used as a floor light with high environment score, but Sims won't do anything with it.

The Sims 4
A Christmas tree is present in The Sims 4: Holiday Celebration Pack. It functions as a dim floor light that can be turned on and off but not interacted with in any other way. It has an environment score of 2. Another tree will be included in The Sims 4: Seasons, which Sims can manually decorate.
