Christmas tree

A Christmas tree is a holiday item available in The Sims: Livin' Large, The Sims 2: Holiday Party Pack and The Sims 4: Holiday Celebration Pack. 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: Holiday Celebration Pack
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.
