Christmas tree

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

You must not leave the lights on the tree too long (about 12 Sim Hours) or it will catch on fire.

It also appears on The Sims 3 shop for players to download for free. However, on the The Sims 3 it is only a decorative object, and Santa Claus will not appear if the player adds the tree to their game.

The Sims 2: Holiday Party Pack
"Since Roman times, trees have been decorated with lights to honor the gods of the harvest and light. Northern Europeans later adapted these rituals to fancey, new Eastern religions. Made even more popular in 19th century Germany, some contend the tree isreally throwback to the mythological Norse tree named Yggdrasil"

The Sims 3 Store


The Christmas Tree can be downloaded from the More Holiday Presents pack from The Sims 3 Store for free. It is only used as a floor light but has an environment score, but Sims will not do anything about it.
