Its that special time of year again. Everyone is bundled in cozy festive sweaters, shaking the presents under the tree for a hint at whats to come, and seducing Sim 4’s version of Santa of course!

Sims 4 Seasons came out in June of 2018 so Father Winter has had plenty of opportunity to kiss under the mistletoe, but there are some simmers out there like myself that required Christmas to be around the corner to get into the festive spirit. And for those simmers out there, here is a reminder on how to ho ho ho your way into some Christmas woohoo. Particularly if you want the merry miracle of a Santa baby.

Step one: Get yourself a fireplace

Ol’ Father Winter can’t just knock on the door like a normal fellow, he needs to get in by squeezing down your chimney. Make sure to have one.

Step two: Kill time

The holiday has to be well celebrated, so make a grand meal, give out gifts to loved ones, sing carols, the whole shebang. You have nothing but time until the clock strikes 8 o’clock.

Step three: Rockin’ around the Christmas tree

Time is of the essence, you have until 2 o’clock to convince Father Christmas to stuff the stocking and leave presents.

Step four: Seal the deal without five golden rings

Very important if you want to have a magical baby, don’t try to get Santa to commit. He needs to head back to the north pole at the end of this ride or he is no longer considered to be Father Winter.

Step five: Take the pregnancy test before he leaves

The night is over when he disappears, continuing spreading the joy all over the world.

Final Step: Have the baby

If all went well then you should have a elf on the shelf before you know it!

Be warned Father Winter doesn’t make the world’s best baby daddy, right after announcing the pregnancy he thanked my sim for hanging out and then ran off. I gave him a second chance by bring him to the hospital for the birth, he disappeared before the process started. Apparently he has enough on his hands with all the reindeer and elves to manage.
