My elf just won’t move away from the fireplace 😦
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.
nice . this post is really informative . its easy to understand because of the pics .
btw . you can still get the prizes even if you dont finish it within the day it was given . the quests will just file up but you have to complete it within the time limit to get the teddy bear .
I’m glad it was useful
I know
Oh no. I didn’t built the Fire Station so I can’t take the picture.
You can still take a picture, just take a picture of where it would be.
I’m having a problem, so I did the first two riddles but I can’t do the last one. Cause there’s an elf standing right in front of the nutcracker, which is preventing my Sim to ask for riddle. Help please?
Just click on the fireplace and select magical zooming pants
When the elf is in the way of the fireplace.. Just sit down in the chair. Cancel and then the elf will move and you can talk to Santa. Also you use the telescope at the park 🙂
How can I find the Sleigh to click on? They all look alike…please Help
The picture of the sleigh is shown in the post.
Im on “talk to santa via fireplace” but i just finished day 6, and theres an elf in front of the fireplace, what do i 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.
I’m taking the photograph of the fire station and I am zoomed in, but the quest won’t move on. Do you have any idea what I’m doing wrong?
Apparently taking the picture from different angles can fix this problem.
is supposed to get gifts everyday?
No, they stopped when they quest started

Hi. I have the fridge light task and I can’t seem to find the ‘collect the light’ action on my fridge. It’s a white fridge and I can’t get a drink fridge till level 12. I tried the neighbours houses but it doesn’t work. Please help???!
It is on any fridge, make sure you are using an adult sim.
i keep getting the first clue over and over again even after i waited for over an hour!
Just click magical zooming pants on the fireplace.
I’m trying to take a picture of the fire house for the Christmas mishap. I have taken several, but it is not saying that I have done it? Plz help
Apparently taking the picture from different angles can fix this problem.
I didn’t even finish searching for all the clues, and just did the answer that you have “magical zooming pants” I’m half way through and I don’t know if it will work or not.
I gave you the answer so you could just answer it.
Aren’t we supposed to be getting gifts everyday until Christmas? I stopped getting mine like a week ago
They stop when you started the quest
The elf won’t move I tried everything but she won’t move out of the way!!! HELP
I will tell you what I have told everyone else who has asked me the same thing:

This was sooooo helpful….nice job!
You’re welcome!
When I take a picture of the fire station it doesn’t say I completed that task. Help please!
Apparently taking the picture from different angles can fix this problem.
Sorry if someone’s already asked this, but I didn’t see any other comments about it so…I’ve gotten to the point where you take a photo of the fire station roof and I go out and zoom in on it and click the photo button and it never says complete on that task! Do I have to share it on Facebook or something? Please help!
No you don’t need to share it, Apparently taking the picture from different angles can fix this problem.
Quick observation.
I have notice that I don’t have to click on letter box, Xmas tree or the fireplace. I just jump straight Into the complete answer: magic zimmer pants. Idk if that’s happening to everyone who is behind on the quest or it’s just happening to certain people. Just thought I should share.
I gave you the answer so you can just click on the fireplace and answer it without asking for the riddles.
How to I read santas note
If you read the whole task it tells you, the tree.
Where is Santa’s note from day 7?
If you read the whole task it tells you, the tree.
I have got 5 days!!!!
How could I do this????
You could Use LPs to speed up some tasks
Can I stil get the bear if I am a day later than you
Maybe, you might need to use some Lps though
Hi, first of all I love reading all your findings and info, so helpful! Sorry if it’s been mentioned but is anyone finding if they use LP to speed up the Santa tasks their % doesn’t change? I was at 66% completed and used 7 LP to finish the town meeting task and when I looked at the next task it was still at 66%, what a waste lol!
I’m glad you like it!
Are you looking at the first bar, the one with the picture of the teddy at the end? That one does go up very slowly, but the other bar (if you swipe you will see that days prize) that one does go up about 10%+ with each task you do
I don’t see any “discuss TRIPPING over with a sim” when I click to talk to another sim. It shows “discuss FALLING over with a sim”. Its the same?
Yes it’s the same thing.
i don’t see the option to discuss tipping with a sim at all. Is there a way to fix this? Do certain sims have to talk to each other?
Try with two married adults.
There is no other way, you have to buy it.
P.S. After that, you have to build the stables for 150,000simoleons. Just sayin, there’s no way out of it. I’ve been through the excact same state.
Do you need to build the firestation
No, just take a picture where it is
Thank you so much!!! I saved a bunch of times for this quest.
You’re welcome!
There’s an elf standing in front of the fire place so I can’t talk to Santa!
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.
I am on day 8 of christmas mishap. Never got the call a town meeting for 2.5 hrs. Went straight to add blackboard to house and discuss tripping with a sim. However, i am not able to discuss tripping with a sim. Any suggestions?
Try with two married adults

Taking picture of fire station – I got it when I took one from the back of the building. Sharing since I had issues with this.
I would just to say thank you for all that you do, i know that youre probably constantly busy with this blog and i know alot of people follow it.. When i have a problem with sims or i need help with a quest i come and look at your blog, like i literally have your website bookmarked on my iphone, i love this website because it perfectly states everything i need to know in the best detail, anyway sorry this isnt a question!! Haha but thank you for all your effort you put into this.. 😍😍😊
You’re welcome!
I’m glad it helps
Thank you! 🙂
Hello, How many days it the whole quest? Thanks in advance!
12 days
After I placed the blackboard in my home, Santa showed up and all my sims stopped doing their tasks. I had about 2 hours out of 7 to go on looking up unicorns on the computer, and 30 minutes out of 4 hours to go on growing zucchinis. Anyone else had this problem? I had to restart both since I didn’t get credit toward the quests.
I’ve not heard of anyone else having that problem, I don’t know why it’s done that, sorry!
When I take a picture of the fire station it doesn’t say that I’ve completed that part of the quest… Tried several times but it won’t work. Please help??
Apparently taking the picture from different angles can fix this problem.
I’m still on day seven because the elves will not move from in front of the fireplace. I’ve tried what another person suggested, standing next to the elves and then admiring the mail but it has not worked for me. I really don’t want to miss the chance to get the bear. What can I do?
I will tell you what I have told everyone else who has asked me the same thing:

How do you give pep talk to elf. I only get talk to elf, and that doesnt complete task.
Try with an adult sim?
Can’t get sims to discuss tripping
try with two married adults.
What’s the answer of the third riddle
all riddle answers are in the post.
Thank u
Something went wrong today when I speeded things up a bit using LPs (skipping the meeting). I didn’t get the task of suggesting kindness to Santa and when I had speeded up the meeting, I should’ve gotten the price (Santa’s throne) but I didn’t get anything. I can’t even find the throne in the store, what do I have to do now?
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.
Can you be my friend on gamecenter?
Sorry I don’t have any space left on my game center
On the Christmas quest, my sim won’t discuss tripping with another sim
try with 2 married adults
What time does the quest need to be completed by each day, for example my last task for todays quest will be complete at 3am and the new quest starts tomorrow about 9am. Will I still get the daily prize or do I need to complete them before midnight?
It doesn’t you can take as long as you want and still get the daily prize, you just have to complete all goals in the 12 day limit.
I am nearky ifinished day 6 currently @ make sims plan task & would really love the giang teddy bear I was akreafy behind and have caught uo roughly by a day since school ended is there anyway I can catch up and win the giant teddy bear thanks
You can speed up some of the longer tasks using LPs

I need help with day 7 talk to Santa at the chimney. There are two elves in the way. They’re been there for a whole day now!
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.
Do you know how to talk to Santa because when I do I can’t get through because the elves are in the way.
