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.

It also appears on The Sims 3 Store for players to download for free with the More Holiday Presents pack. However, on the The Sims 3 it is only a light, and Santa Claus will not appear if the player adds the tree to their game.

Cookies (Near Tree? If Y proceed to Near Fireplace, if N, no Santa will appear) Tree (Near Fireplace? If N, than no Santa. Y? Santa Visits.)

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"

Christmas tree is one of the requirements for Santa Klaus to appear. Sims can turn on the decorative lights on the Christmas tree. Be careful though, as leaving the tree on for too long will set itself on fire.

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 and has a high environment score, but Sims will not do anything about it.
