Early Access to Beta Provided by EA/ Firemonkeys (Presented by EA Creator Network) may differ from actual version
Starts 12th December
Things are heating up for Christmas this year but can your sims stop Simtown from becoming Sandtown?! There are 13 sets of goals to complete in the 13 day time limit so there is a set of goals to complete each day from the 12th December, if you complete the quest in the time limit you win the Claus Compound house template
You have to wait between completing each set so you complete one set per day, after completing a set you have to wait for a certain amount of time before being able to continue with the quest (the time varies depending on how long you take) unless you are behind then you will move straight onto the next set once you have completed the previous. You can use social points to skip the daybreak but it is very expensive:
Christmas Quest goals have the same symbol so if you are stuck look for the following symbol on objects:
TIP: there are lots of tasks that need to be done more than once, you can use LP to skip all these tasks or you can still use the maximum sims you can to complete the task but remember if you just use one sim you will run out of time (the maximum amount of sims you can use will vary depending on the level you are on in the game)
NOTE: these are the times from the early access version, I will update the post as I complete the quest if anything has changed
Times may vary depending on the star rating an item has and whether or not your sims are inspired (I only have the times for an inspired sim so each task will take slightly longer with a sim who isn’t inspired)

If you completed this quest in the time limit you will be able to build Claus Compound in your Simtown, keep reading for information and pictures of all the prizes you unlock in this quest
You cannot complete this quest or earn the prizes once the quest is over
You will find Claus Compound under the driveway homes tab on a standard or premium residence, the first one is free, after that the cost in simoleons depends on how many houses you have already built.
This house comes with a garage that will fit 4 cars! The other three car parking spaces in the garage need to be unlocked by purchasing with simoleons:
Additional Space One: S250,000
Additional Space Two: S750,000
Additional Space Three: S1,500,000
Once you purchase an additional space you will be able to add another car but you need to have more than one adult/senior sim living in this house to add more than one car otherwise it will just switch their car to the new one you have just brought. For example if you wanted 3 cars in this house you need 3 adult or senior sims living in this house.
The house is exactly the same on the standard and premium residence, the only thing that is different is the garden:
This house template is on a brand new, amazing looking lot. It is meant to be Santa’s LA home.
This lot included a huge pool that your sims can use. You can also find the mailbox by the wall at the front of the house:
You can’t edit the pool or anything outside the normal grid area (18×18 on standard and 36×18 on premium)
I really like this house, I personally would build it on the standard residence rather than premium as the pool isn’t any bigger on the premium so you just have empty space at the end and the garden on the premium is disappointing.
You also unlock:
Railings- Fancy White Railings (S5)
Stairs- Fancy White Stairs (S135,000)
Bay Windows- Black Box Window (S950,000) Quad (S1,050,000)
Windows- Fancy Tall Black (S45,000) Double (S60,500) Quad (S85,000)
