Father Time is a NPC featured in The Sims 2: Happy Holiday Stuff. He looks like an old man with a long beard, and holds an hourglass. He bears a striking resemblance to the Therapist and Santa Claus. When a Sim throws a New Year's bash, he will appear at 11pm.

When he appears, he will be standing on the sidewalk, so a selectable Sim will need to call him over. The only interactions available for Father Time are talk and call over, which will be available no matter how close a Sim is to him. Around midnight, (12:00 pm or 24:00), he will start making a ruckus, which all the Sims at the party will join, and will then transform into Toddler New Year.

Warning

DO NOT attempt to add Father Time to a family, try to turn him into a supernatural creature, such a werewolf or a witch, make him selectable, or tamper with him in SimPE in any way or form. Doing so will cause game corruption, fixed only by uninstalling and reinstalling the game.

Trivia

• Unlike most other unplayable NPCs, Sims will have memories of meeting Father Time, although his face will not appear in the relationships panel. Santa Claus also has this behaviour.
• If a New Year's Bash is shut down by police at 11 pm, when Father Time arrives, he will immediately leave.
• Despite having grey hair, he is an adult.
