Share your Holiday Pics here. Holidays only (birthdays are not holidays people!!!). Christmas, Thanksgiving, Vulcan Valentines Day and everything else in between. You get the idea.

I have to say, that dog photo is very cute!
I really want the Holiday pack......

[slipknot93]

I need the festive stuff pack, I have a couple of things from the exchange but after seeing this, I need the stuff pack =|

[Engram]

Check out the link to my LJ (in my sig), then check out the Christmas episode of the Veronaville Asylum. You might find an interesting link in there :)

[jenny]

Thanks Engram..off to check out your LJ:D

[Ninet]

aberry5000 absolutely in-love with your dog pics!!!

[simsample]

For those of you who want the stuff pack, it seems that EA have given permission for a particular site to host it for Download.
Currently phased out and offered free to users of SimSolución through the Official Journal of The Sims 2, Electronic Arts Spain.
Grab it whilst you can:

NOTE: This file has been deleted as of 19 December. You're all too late!

[Sims2FreakyGuy]

thanks for the find, simsample

EDIT: Forgot to mention that although i LOVE these pics, i don't have any of my own.

[Ranta]

Thanks so much for the link, simsample! *Runs off to download*
And aberry, those dogs are just too cute. :]

will the download work on a Uk game without messing thing sup?

yeah I have it working now =)
thanks.

[simsample]

Can you guys tell me whether that is the full stuff pack? Originally they released a Holiday pack which had the official site items, some more objects and santa/ baby new year. Later they added a 'mini pack' which was also a download. This had more items and clothes- some beautiful adult clothes and toddler rompers. Are those in the download from the spanish site? All of these items were later included in the 'Happy holidays' game version.

[slipknot93]

I'm not sure but this it's the "Christmas party pack" and is dated from 2005

[Engram]

No idea which version it is but it's got Santa and Old Year/New Year. The dancing toddler was amusing for about 15 seconds :lol: If I had an idea of what the clothes you are talking about looked like I could check for them.

[Sims2FreakyGuy]

if someone can find the Happy Holiday stuff pack for download (preferrably not a torrent), then i'd be grateful.

EDIT: Engram beat me to it

[simsample]

Sims2FreakyGuy, if you are after illegal downloads, you'd better get off this forum as we cannot help. However, if you want to download the 'Christmas Pack' then you can do so from the site I linked to earlier.
Engram, the clothes are- santa outfit and female santa outfit; hair which had santa hats for male and female; female hair done up in a high bun; some dresses which looked satiny (You'd recognise them if you saw them- kinda evening dress look, they should appear right next to the basegame adult female clothes); toddler rompers with holly on them. From what slipknot93 says it sounds as though this is just the Holiday pack without the Holiday Mini Pack, so no clothes and hair.

[sharkloverplayer]

Today me and my wife Pamela celebrated our first Christmas togeather.We also had our first child born today Elysia.She'll probebly be as beautiful as her mom.Edit were living in the penthouse apartment with the hottub inside.It's the 4th floor.I forgot the name of the apartment but I took it out of the houses and lots bin.

Here we were being silly.This was taken after the baby was born.The other elf pics were taken before she was born.That's why Pamela isn't wearing a Mrs.Santa suit before because the game won't let prego females wear it.

Thanks I love those elf hats and ears a lot of my sims wear them.

I'm using the pack from the Spanish forum. That's what is linked to in my LJ. If you look at my pics on page 1 - the first shows a controllable dressed up as Santa and the second shows the "real" Santa. So the Santa clothes and hair are in the pack. I haven't had the chance to fire up the game to check for the other clothing but I would guess that if the Santa suit and hair are there then probably the rest of it is there as well. Or at least some of it.

[el_flel]

This is a really cool idea for a thread! Great pics everyone. It's really inspiring me to give some of my families Christmas this year, I don't usually bother

[simsample]

Ah, must be my memory playing tricks then. :) Evidently the Santa outfits are in the Holiday pack. I just checked the executables- the one from the Spanish forum is 69.9MB, which matches the size of 'Sims 2 Holiday Party Pack' (the first ever stuff pack, which was available as a download from the EA site). The 'add-on' to this, which again was a download and applied like a patch (instead of being installed like a regular SP) was called 'The Holiday Mini-Pack' which is, strangely, larger than the other one at 100MB and was the best value thing EA ever did! It cost me £3 UK to download (about $6 US) and contains all this:
http://thesims2.ea.com/about/holiday_mini_index.php
I had thought that this was included in The Sims 2 Holiday edition, but it seems I remembered that wrongly too (my memory is shot, I tell you) as it says on the site 'requires The Sims 2 or The Sims 2 Holiday edition to play'. So, if you install the Spanish download you effectively have the holiday edition, but you do not have the Mini pack. Shame, 'cos it has beautiful clothes!
http://thesims2.ea.com/about/holiday_mini_screenshots.php
The hairstyle isn't shown there, I'll have to take a screenie of it.
Edit: found one:
http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0708/simholidyshot.jpg
The ladies' hair 'do'.
It seems that the Mini pack was included in the later 'Happy Holiday Stuff' pack too.
http://thesims2.ea.com/holiday/index.php

[chowgilly]

Thats so cool simsample, but im looking on the link i went through on the sims2.com to EA's site but i cant see the mini pack available anywhere?

[Sims2FreakyGuy]

@simsample: I wasn't after illegal downloads, i was just wondering if there was another link for TS2: Happy Holiday Stuff. Just wanted to clear that up.

@sharkloverplayer: Great pictures! Makes me want to finish that Xmas house for Mr. and Mrs. Clause.

:) No problem, I had to be sure! Sorry for being accusatory.

Thats so cool simsample, but im looking on the link i went through on the sims2.com to EA's site but i cant see the mini pack available anywhere?
That last link should take you to the 'Holiday Home page'. Does it not work? Try googling 'Sims 2 Holiday Mini Pack' to see if you can find it that way. :)

[chowgilly]

No have gone through EA's site but when i go to buy it its not on the list, all i get is this http://eastore.ea.com/store/eaemea/DisplayCategoryListPage/categoryID.11242700

Id buy it through the Sims Store but its not available to us in the uk :eviltongu

Hmm, looks like it isn't available to buy any more, then. Even Happy Holiday Stuff isn't available. :(

Beautiful pics, chowgilly. Looks like they've got lots of presents this year! :)

[sharkloverplayer]

Here is a link were you can get some new copies of happy holiday stuff.Their from amazon sellers and they mention them as new.I ordered mine from there and it was still sealed.
The prices vary.Get the cheapest one it's 9.99.

[Ghanima Atreides]

The pile of presents looks fantastic! Sweet piccies too.

Thanks to Simsample's link, I finally got the holiday pack and thought I'd throw a few seasonal parties for some of my families (nevermind that it's summer in my 'hood...ahem)

To my disappointment, you can't throw New Year's bashes in apartments, so I resorted to a regular party instead over at Aeode's:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/Ghanima/Sims/Caledon/caledon38.jpg

Something tells me Valerian didn't need to know that, Dez...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/Ghanima/Sims/Caledon/caledon35.jpg

Yes, pressies!

And, in the aftermath of the party...uh oh! (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/Ghanima/Sims/Caledon/caledon40.jpg)


Since I did want a New Year's bash, I played one of my quiet couples back in town and had Victor, the dad, invite his kids over.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/Ghanima/Sims/Caledon/caledon43.jpg

All of your pictures are so creative and absolutely fantastic. You've inspired me to share my little experiment to see if I could get Santa Klaus (Sim's spelling) to show up at the Mitchells' condo. Oh my goodness...I was as thrilled as a child! Here take a peak at my experience:

Shauntell finds Santa by the Christmas tree!

Jewels and Shaun are excited, too!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Sims2Controlfrk

Please excuse the picture quality. Not only am I bad at this, my computer 'inhales vigorously' too!

[sharkloverplayer]

That's a beautiful family and I like those pigtails Shantell is wearing.Nice Christmas pictures too.

[sims2controlfrk]

Oh my goodness...I'm so flattered that you responded, Sharklover. Thank you!This is the 'umpteenth' start-over, do over, re-do family and/or neighbor I've done over the years. I love her pigtails and other 'ethnic' hair styles on 'my' little girls. It lends a lot of realism.

chowgilly- Great shots. The set up looks so real. I love all the gifts.
Ghanima Atreides- Your shots are so amazing. I really, really want to go live in your game. Everything looks so festive, and yet dark and spooky at the same time. The dog collar picture really made me laugh.
bree2kool- Awesome.Those are really fun shots. They look straight out of a playboy calender. Both of your girls look adorable.
clw8- I love how you did up the house. It looks amzing. You paid so much attention to detail.
Elven Moon- Super cute. I love the first picture. And the third, with the guy swooning (is it over cookies or the other guy . . .)
CiaoAlora- Wow, that house looks stunning! It's so elegant. I would love to live there. I especially like the white light up tree in the front yard.

A few Xmas shots from my new legacy. This is the Xerox family:

Kiryl playing even though the tree was just on fire... and his mother was STILL on fire!

So while the Travis family was celebrating their father died, Santa left them coal (which I didn't know could happen), the tree set on fire, and their mother got set on fire (she lived though). Fun fun.

[simsample]

I've never used these reindeer to decorate so I've never seen this interaction before... so cute.
Watch it though- as with all Maxis items it can backfire and your sim can get electrocuted! :) Lovely pictures!

[Thestrialqueen]

Thanks for the heads up, simsample. That's all this family needs some electrocution to go with the fire.

[sharkloverplayer]

Great pictures eveyone.

I recently bought the holiday pack, but this is with a few simple pieces I bought from the sims 2 store in the meanwhile :)

Me and my best friend forever Jennifer Williams recently celebrated Christmas togeather.I played her and she invited me over to her apartment.It was just the two of us getting togeather.Were not romantically involved right now but Jennifer is next wife after Pam.I've already given her turn ons for him but haven't activated them yet.

I didn't put up a lot of decorations in her apartment mainly a tree.We exchanged gifts but I lost the picture of me giving her one.This girl looks like someone I know in real life and she is named after her.The hair she's wearing is dead on with the girl I really know.

Now Jennifer calls my apartment and want to talk when I'm playing me and Pamela.She calls about 3 times a day.

With a whole lot of free time, and realizing that you could move wall items up and down with AL (and also using a couple of cheats) I put the Christmas lights and objects to better use. Well, at least I think.

It took me two whole years to realize that I could do this... And I've always been such a Christmas decorating nerd. Talk about slow. D: lol
