I’m having a glitch with day 7, the elf is standing in front of the fireplace so I can’t talk to Santa. I’ve tried using a different sim and going back to the house. Do you have any suggestions and if not, do you mind giving me ea’s website .
Thanks 🙂
you can try pondering in the chair infront of the fireplace, if this doesn’t work then there is nothing else I can suggest apart from waiting for the elf to move.
Any advice – can’t get my sims to talk to Santa via the fireplace as one of the elves is in the way! Tried switching sim, but he’s still there so I can’t do anything.
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.
how many xmas windows are given as reward once you complete day5?
4
I’m having trouble with day 6. I took a picture of the fire station but it’s not completing the task!😕
Apparently taking the picture from different angles can fix this problem.
There was an elf in the way so it wouldn’t let me talk to Santa. Pretty cheap but the elf eventually moved on his own.
Hi, off topic how old are you? 🙂
I’m 19
I can’t talk to Santa via the fireplace as there is an elf in the way, any suggestions?
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.
Hai!
I am behind 2 days because of school. I am currently looking for the grouch with my telescope in day 6. Will I still be able to get the bear?
You should be able to, but have some LPs just incase you need them to speed any task up
Thanks for made this 😘
Why can’t I talk to santa via chimney? Every time I try it would show the blue feet icon
Is there someone in the way? Maybe an elf?
Yes! There is 2 elf
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 Cant click on the chimney to talk to santa as it says something is blocking my way, ie an elf! What to do?
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.
Sorted it
I’m trying to talk to Santa in the fireplace but there’s an elf in the way and I can’t get to it. Any advice?
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 elves to move.
I have tried this several times and the elves still stand by the fireplace?
There isn’t a lot else you can do then, you may just have to wait for the elf to move in their own time.
I had this problem, tap talk to elf when you get to the side of the fire place he is least in the way and then call another sim to do the task. Worked fine for me after that
Hi i am on day 7 and it wont let me talk to santa in the chimney the blue footsteps keep appearing
There is probably 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.
Any ideas what my issue is…when trying to talk to Santa @ the fireplace my Sim keeps popping up the ‘feet’ icon that they can’t walk there because it is blocked by 2 elves. Were they there for you also? If so, how do you get around this? Thanks!! 🙂
No I didn’t have this issue, the elfs were all outside hiding next to the bad luck machine
The only solution I have heard to this is to 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’ve tried going home multiple times and going back. Tried talking to elves, tried bringing max amount of Sims to the shop, tried ‘pondering’ in chair but can’t do that either. Thanks for your blog, I’ve enjoyed it, but apparently I’m done with this mission. 😦
There is nothing else I can suggest then, you will just have to wait for them to move.
I’m trying to talk to Santa through the fireplace and there is an elf in the way. I’ve left the workshop and came back but he’s still in the way. I tried talking to him and hoped he would move after but it also didn’t work. Do you know any solutions to this?
you can try pondering in the chair infront of the fireplace, if this doesn’t work then there is nothing else I can suggest apart from waiting for the elf to move.
It worked! Thank you so much!
Hi – love your posts! One of the elves is in front of the fireplace. How do I get her out of the way so I can talk to Santa? She’s been there for 2 hours and I’ve tried talking to her and flying home and back, but that did not move her from her spot. Thank you!
You can try pondering in the chair infront of the fireplace, if that doesn’t work then there is nothing else I can suggest apart from waiting for the elf to move.
i got an elf standing before the fireplace so now i cant talk to santa when i click on the fireplace maybe it is gone tomorrow bur for now no more christmas quests for me
Have you tried going back home and then returning to the workshop?
how come when i take a picture of the fire station it doesnt say ive completed the task? do i need to post it to a social network?
Apparently taking the picture from different angles can fix this problem.
I just noticed that surviving family has stopped grieving a sims death. When did that happen?
This stopped several updates ago
Found the solution to the elf in the way of the fireplace. Tap Santa’s chair to ponder and the elf will move.
Thanks
I need to travel to santas workshop but I don’t have the sleigh in my yard and santas face isn’t in my people bar so how do I travel there?
Try going to a neighbours then going back home, that sometimes brings the sleigh back to your yard.
Hi, im on day 4 but i had trouble going back to the santa’s workshop. I can’t find the sleigh anymore. Help please? Thanks
The sleigh isn’t at the house you placed it at?
Mine is gone too. Don’t know how to get back to the workshop.
Is it not at the house you placed it at?
What is your Facebook? I need a friend who is advanced at the game for my social quest
Facebook.com/thegirlwhogames

Strange, you may need to contact EA about this issue
I had the same problem with the elf standing in front of the fireplace… I stood by the elf and pressed on the pile of letters to Admire and the elf moved away…
Omg thank you haha
Wow thanks! I’ll try that! They’re standing there like forever! It’s a bug or something.
I am finally able to talk to santa,I press the fireplace when the 2 elves were on their knees. I dont know if it is just coincidence
hi, I am stuck were the you have talk to santa through the fireplace, but the elves are in the way, so I can’t talk to him. Please help! BTW, thanks for this website, this has helped a lot of people by soo much!
I will tell you what I have told everyone else who has asked me the same thing:
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.
You’re welcome
Hi. I’m at the part with taking a picture of the firestation . I take the picture and the task doesn’t change.
Apparently taking the picture from different angles can fix this problem.
It only worked for me when I took a picture of the ‘back’ of the fire station.
There is an elf in front of the fireplace blocking me from talking to Santa. I tried talking to him but he won’t move so I get the blue footprints

Thanks but it doesn’t work with me, the elve keeps staying there
Also I can’t go to the workplace at a friend
There is nothing I can do if it isn’t working, sorry but I don’t work for EA.
I am one day behind and not got any lp, is there an easier way to catch up as I was fine but then the 5 days of school ruined it!
The only way to catch up is with LPs, this post may help: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2014/02/27/the-sims-freeplay-15-ways-to-make-money-and-lps/
Hi
I am on Day 06 of the ‘Xmas Mishap Quest’
I keep clicking pictures of the firestation on the map but it doesn’t register or move forward to the next task.
Please help!
Thank You
Apparently taking the picture from different angles can fix this problem.
Thank You.
Your suggestion worked for me 🙂
I’m glad it worked! 🙂
Aww. I wish I had more LP. I’m on day 5’s quests. School is in my way.
This post may help: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2014/02/27/the-sims-freeplay-15-ways-to-make-money-and-lps/
I took the pix of the fire station but the goal didn’t go away
Apparently taking the picture from different angles can fix this problem.
This is unralated but my goal is practise making films in a neighbours town but I only have one neighbour because I don’t have a face book account and the only neighbour I have does not have camera
You will need to skip with Lps then
Do u have game center? Or what are u playing this game on? Maybe people could add you. I would gladly help if u have Game Center. User namer: nesseh93
If you didn’t complete the quest in day 1 will the other quests still come as I am so confused cos I can’t find where to do any of the quests anywhere
Yes they just continue, they should be in your goal tab
But thnx so much your blog is so handy xx
Thank you!
How can I get a reindeer
You can’t, that was the prize last year
Yes, I can’t get to the fireplace either – I tried calling as many sims as I could to the workshop, talking to the elves, admiring things nearby (like letter pile and tree and conveyor belt etc) and tried sitting in the chair to get an elf to move away but still no luck. 😦 Kinda hoping they’ll move on their own in time – but somehow I doubt that’s going to happen *giggles*
There is nothing I can do if it isn’t working, sorry but I don’t work for EA.
I can not talk to Santa via the fireplace because the elves are standing right in front of that fireplace 😦 Any help how to get them move? 😦
I will tell you what I have told everyone else who has asked me the same thing:
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.
In day 7 I completed all the three riddle but still my task is not complete
Have you selected the right answer on the fireplace?
How many days of this quest will there be?
And, how do you get this done so fast?? I wake up in the morning and go on this page and all of the quests are already done!! Do you buy your LPS?
12
I use LPs to speed it up so it’s up as soon as possible to help you
I don’t, I do the cooking hobby over and over to make Lps
I just wondering… How can you know all the tasks before? 😀
I don’t, I start the tasks when they start that day and speed some up with Lps so I can get them posted as soon as possible.
How did you get so many LPs? Did u buy them or is there a way to get so many without paying?
I don’t buy them, I just do the cooking hobby several times a day and then save up my LPs.
There are two elves standing in front of the fireplace and they won’t allow me to talk to santa. I keep getting the stupid footprint bubble thing. I tried admiring everything but my sim won’t go to that area. What should I do
I will tell you what I have told everyone else who has asked me the same thing:

I have a question and i was hoping you could help me. I’ve clicked the nutcrackers to get the clues to find the answers for the riddles and ive als found the answers but the mission is not complete. Currently I have one of my sims telling santa the answer at the fireplace in hope that this completes the mission but I’m not sure if it does. I hope you can help me because I’m really confused 😞
Anyway I think your blog is great so keep up the good work 👍
Yes telling Santa the answer completes this goal
Thanks! I’m glad you like it!
From when I started this quest, my game has been shutting down whenever I go to Santa’s house.. Causing all of my other sims to stop their actions. I’ve noticed this happens whenever I go to A place where it’s snowing. Is their away to prevent this?
Its because your game is using up too much RAM at these places so it crashes because it can’t cope, my iPad does it too, the only way round it- this isn’t a permanent fix, you have to keep doing it but I find turning my device off and on again before going there really helps for a while
Hi, I’m on day 7 and supposed to talk to Santa via the fireplace but there is an elf in the way so the action won’t work? I’ve tried talking to the elf to see if it moves but that didn’t work, any suggestionson what I could do?
I will tell you what I have told everyone else who has asked me the same thing:
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.
The elf will not move away from the fireplace. It’s been several hours now… I don’t know what to do. I tried admiring the letters and that didn’t work. Tried leaving and coming back. Tried different sims… Help please!!!

He finally moved after taking to the elf for 5 minutes and then switching sims immediately after.
I’m stuck on day 7 because there’s a stupid elf standing in front of the fireplace and I can’t talk to Santa. This is super annoying! I’ve tried talking to her. I’ve tried admiring everything in Santa’s workshop. I tried restarting the game. She just won’t move! I’m gonna miss out on the rest of the quest and the neat sounding teddy bear prize all because of some dumb glitch. This blows.
