Did you know that Santa may visit your Sim home for Christmas in "The Sims?" Just follow the steps below, and Santa will leave a Christmas present.

Difficulty: Easy

Time Required: Usually just a few minutes to get Santa to arrive

Here's How:

1. Leave Cookies Out
   When you were a kid you probably left cookies out for Santa. After all, he's a busy man and would probably like a snack. The Sims' Santa is no different. You'll need the plate of cookies. If you have an expansion pack, you should have them. The cookies can be found under the misc. section.

1. Decorate the House
   Optional: To make the house feel more festive decorate your Sim's home with Christmas decorations! The "Living Large Expansion Pack" comes with a Christmas tree, and there are lots of great Christmas downloads (such as objects and wallpaper) at fan sites. I like to add a fireplace to the room if I don't already have one. The fireplace is optional, since Santa is beamed in, instead of using the chimney.
2. Time for Bed
   Send your Sims to bed by 10 PM, and set the plate of cookies out. The cookies are what causes Santa to come. Be sure to put the cookies out after your the Sims are heading to bed, or else they may stop and eat the cookies. All the Sims in the house have to be asleep for Santa to arrive.
3. Wait for Santa
   Now sit back and wait for Santa, and hope he brings something your Sims can use!

What You Need:

• "The Sims"
• Plate of Cookies
• Optional: Christmas Tree availble with "Living Large"
