Where are the rest of the days at?
They haven’t been released yet, we are on day 6 today.
So I’ve melted the candy canes, and when I send my Sim to accuse Wumples, he won’t do it. The feet icon comes above his head like something is blocking the way. Is anyone else having this problem?
I should probably also mention that I had 4 Sims melting the candy canes trying to be proactive thinking I would have to melt them all, but when I noticed my Sim not being able to accuse Wumples, I made the other Sims stop and sent them away. And my Sim is still unable to accuse Wumples. Going to power my phone off and back on again to see if this helps, but was wondering if anyone else had this happen?
I think you should leave the workshop using the sleigh and go back there and try again, hopefully that will work
I’m on Day 7 and I can’t talk to Santa through the chimney because 2 elves are standing in front of it! Any help !?
Go back home and then return to the workshop, hopefully that will move the elves, or you can try pondering in the chair infront of the fireplace, if neither of these things work then there is nothing else I can suggest apart from waiting for the elves to move.
i just want to make sure: the daily prizes, such as the nutcracker, the windows, etc. if you don’t complete them before the next set of goals is the prize still available? or is the 12 days the only time limit?
i love love love love love your blog btw! very helpful.😊
Yes, you do have to complete that days goals before you go onto the next day but you get the prize regardless of when you finish
Thanks! I’m glad it helps
‘Activate self destruct’ how do I do this? My quest log now says: New goals begin in 10 hrs 14 mins, although I didn’t do the last step and didn’t get the reward either.
Strange, I dont know why it has done that, if you didn’t get the reward I think you should contact EA about this issue.
How does the mistletoe work
It doesn’t, its just a decoration on the door frame
Can you help me with the three riddles one
The answers to all riddles are in the post
OMG thank you solo much I was so stuck on the thinker man thing and I was searching every site to find help
You are so helpful and I know I can rely on you now
You’re very welcome 🙂
Love ur guides 💝
thanks!
I’m having trouble taking a picture of the Fire Station. I did took a picture using the camera button there but nothing’s happening. Do you have any ideas why? 😦
Apparently taking the picture from different angles can fix this problem.
Thanks for all this. I love you blog. It helps me know when I can have sims doing other things and if I need to pause on a quest and save money for the next one of I really want the prize.
It says if I don’t finish the tasks in one day I can try finishing it the next day. So we have 9 AM till when?
You have until the 12 day limit is up to finish the goals, you can take as long as you like on each day but you need to complete them all in that time limit to get the bear
How many days are their in total?
12 days
Him i just started the Christmas quest. The very first goal is to splash a sims face in a sink. I dont have that option with the sinks. Its just wash hands and clean under fingernails.
I am stumped!!
Are you using an adult sim? A kitchen sink worked for me
Yes i tried with different adults and different sinks. There is just no option to splash face
I don’t know what to suggest then, sorry!
I’m having trouble with day 7 where I need to speak to Santa stuck in the chimney but the elves are blocking me from the fireplace so I can’t get near him. I’ve tried talking to the elves to move them but that doesn’t work.
Go back home and then return to the workshop, hopefully that will move the elf, or you can try pondering in the chair infront of the fireplace, if neither of these things work then there is nothing else I can suggest apart from waiting for the elf to move.
I collected soil at 2 different houses, completed the quest for one, and when I had to find the fridge light to give to the elf, I went back to the house that was also collecting the soil, it completed the quest for me. I’m not sure if it was glitched or something….
sounds like a glitch, but a good one!
Weightlessmagic can I ask you a question? Ok!!!! It is !!! What do you do when you finish all missions!!!
P.S: I like your blog!!! It’s very helpful 😊😄…..Ups…..this is a question not from the Christmas quest!!!
Happy Christmas to you and to everyone!!! 😃😀🎄🎁🎈🌹…….☺️
You build houses, build up your town, build relationships and wait for them to release new tasks 🙂
Thanks! I’m glad it helps!
Merry Christmas! 🙂
I’m trying to talk to Santa via the fireplace but there is an elf in the way, how do I get the elf to move?
Go back home and then return to the workshop, hopefully that will move the elf, or you can try pondering in the chair infront of the fireplace, if neither of these things work then there is nothing else I can suggest apart from waiting for the elf to move.
Im in 7th day and stuck in the mission “talk to santa via the fireplace” because the elf blocked the chimney. How to move the elf from the chimney? Please help me, thankyou 🙂
Go back home and then return to the workshop, hopefully that will move the elf, , or you can try pondering in the chair infront of the fireplace, if neither of these things work then there is nothing else I can suggest apart from waiting for the elf to move.
I took like 8 photos of the fire station and nothing happens! 😩
Apparently taking the picture from different angles can fix this problem.
Any ideas on how to get the elves to step away from the fireplace so that I can talk to Santa? My Sim refuses to talk to Santa because she can’t get close enough, but the elves are standing directly in front of the fireplace and there isn’t an option to get them to move!!
Go back home and then return to the workshop, hopefully that will move the elf, or you can try pondering in the chair infront of the fireplace, if neither of these things work then there is nothing else I can suggest apart from waiting for the elf to move.
Tried all of that! 😢 honestly this is the first time I’ve thought the Sims sucks! I’ve tried every suggestion I can find on every help blog- and nothing is working! I’ve waited for nearly 24 hours for it to move already- and I’m getting behind in the tasks 😕
Thanks for trying to help!
There is nothing I can do if it isn’t working, sorry but I don’t work for EA.
An elf is blocking my way to get to the fire place. I can’t talk to santa through the fire place. Does anyone know the solution? Help plz~
Go back home and then return to the workshop, hopefully that will move the elf, or you can try pondering in the chair infront of the fireplace, if neither of these things work then there is nothing else I can suggest apart from waiting for the elf to move.
going back home and waiting does not solve the problem of the elf moving
There is nothing I can do if it isn’t working, sorry but I don’t work for EA.
Okay, so I’ve been trying to take a picture of the fire station but everytime I do it doesn’t do anything! Please help 😦
Apparently taking the picture from different angles can fix this problem.
Have you tried to complete the next quest. Getting santa out of the chimney yet? I’m stuck at trying to talk to santa action!
The talk to him via the fireplace task? There may be an elf in the way, go back home and then return to the workshop, hopefully that will move the elf, or you can try pondering in the chair infront of the fireplace, if neither of these things work then there is nothing else I can suggest apart from waiting for the elf to move.
Your blog helps a lot!!!! Thanks a ton!
I will complete the last task for day 6 self destruct in an hour or so. What will I di after that? Do the new tasks come automatically, or will I have to wait for day 7?? ^_^ :* 😉 😀
You’re welcome, you have to wait until day 7 starts 🙂
Okay, thanks!
I’m doing the Day 6 goals right now, and I got stuck at the Take a photo of the fire station goal.
I’ve taken several photos already but nothing is happening… once I take the photo, I just press back.. that’s it, right? Am I supposed to do anything else?
Apparently taking the picture from different angles can fix this problem.
How many days does the Christmas Mishap go on for???
12 days
So they are giving us all the old Christmas gifts from last years update? I’m confused… Are there new things mixed in?
I’m at least hoping we get the wallpapers again as I expanded my Christmas house…
And any word when the “presents” should be arriving at our mailbox?
Yes they appear to be all the same as last year- *yawn!*
But luckily wallpaper was unlocked by completing todays tasks!
The presents only appeared the days before the quest unlocked
Do I have to build the fire station first? 😦
no, just take a photo of where it would be
Hey weightless magic! I really want the teddy, but I am still collecting feathers @ the park! I do not want to use LP, so how do I catch up?? Please try to help,
@FellowSimmer
There is nothing you can do to catch up if you don’t want to use LPs.
I just completed Day 6, and activated the self destruct but I didn’t get any prize. I only got a choice of a five second distract option, did that…and it told me I was finished. I can’t find any nutcracker anywhere. Help?
Strange, I have no idea why you didn’t get the prize, sorry

Hi, I have a problem with todays quest: when i fly to the workshop to ‘talk to santa’, the elves are blocking the fireplace, so that my sims can’t talk to him while he’s stuck. This means I simply can’t go on with the quest! I’ve tried talking to the elves and what not but they won’t move! Did this happen to someone else or can anybody help? X
This appears to have happened to lots of people, try going back home and then return to the workshop, hopefully that will move the elves, or you can try pondering in the chair infront of the fireplace, if neither of these things work then there is nothing else I can suggest apart from waiting for the elves to move.
My Sim can’t go over to the fireplace, the blue footsteps appear when I try to make her go to it. And I tried getting her right in front of it and clicking and she still wouldn’t. Does anyone have any advice?
This blog is wonderful, thank you! 🙂
Turns out the elves were in the way and I had to wait for them to move… or push them out of the way! ;p
How do you push the elves out the way
Thanks, You’re welcome, glad you fixed the problem! 🙂

If any of you lot are struggling to do it in the time limits or cant fit in i suggest getting 10 ovens and 10 toasters ( in 1 house)and get 10 sims to make cheese on toast ( you only need 1 leve 6 sim in cooking for them all to be able to get all the gilded cooking things ) and after you get all of them once you get 5lps per go so you can quickly and easily get lps to speed the quest up
