Snowflake Day Tree + Activities Fixes and Updates
Household members will now show up in the options dialog for Snowflake Day card recipients
Adjusted the decorating interaction so the tree will always be decorated provided your Sim does not stop prematurely
Fixed the issue with sims resetting sometimes when autonomously hanging decorations on the tree
Replaced the default decoration with a more Sims appropriate one from Martassimsbook (included as a separate download because I had to resize to fit the tree)
Sims can now ask multiple sims for different types of gifts instead of limiting to one Sim.
Letters to Santa: Kids can now write letters to Santa. Click on the mailbox any time three days before Snowflake Day to get the interaction. After writing and mailing their letter, they may get a want or special moodlet to meet Santa.
New Custom NPC role: Holiday Santa. You need to place the Santa chair on a community lot and it will push an NPC Santa to show up to work. Kids can then meet the Santa and talk to them which will fulfill their want if they have one or positively impact their buff.
There’s an XML settings file which you can use to change the hours Santa is available, set the cost to see Santa, and the type of NPC you want pushed for Santa (for example, if you want a traditional looking old, white dude or you are fine with either gender, any race, age, etc.) I would note though, the more specific you are, the harder it may be to find an NPC to fill that criteria
If the chair is on a festival lot, festival tickets will be used in lieu of money if you have enough (20) in your inventory.
Any YA+ Sim can volunteer to play Santa. If there is a volunteer Santa working the chair then the cost is free.
Depending on their age or personality, kids will either sit on Santa’s lap or sit next to him.
Parents may autonomously watch their child meeting Santa, taking photos and things like that.
New custom holiday wishes: I added a bunch of new wishes that Sims may get (depending on personality and situation) during the winter season. Some are age-specific:
Get Playhouse (C)*/Play Kitchen(C)*/Car (T+)/Pet(C) for Snowflake Day, Have 20 or more Presents under Tree, Receive X gifts for Snowflake Day, Decorate Tree, Admire Tree, Make Holiday Crafts (C), Write Letter to Santa (C), Invite Family Over, Spend Time with Grandparents (C, T), Spend Time with Cousins (C, T), Put Gift Under Tree, Bake Holiday Cookies (T+)**, Donate to Charity, Steal Present, Sneak a Peek at Presents, Meet Santa (C), Volunteer as Santa (YA+))
*requires Playtime Fun set; ** requires icemunmun’s Christmas Cookies. The mods are required to fulfill the specific wants, not for the mod as a whole.
