For this Winterfest Eve (the day I have set for the Father Winter Tradition), Father Winter showed up while my sims were still decorating their tree, so they invited him to help decorate. And yes...Father Winter had a red beard, the original Father Winter retired I guess; this was Year 3 in my game, and I saw the original the first 2 years.
Here is my sim introducing herself and then a shot just as they finished putting the topper on the tree:
I don't have seasons so I had to kinda improvise with the whole "snowing" on Christmas thing lol
(Ryder and Gulliver on the right with their daughters passed out on the floor)
Not going to lie the concept of Father Winter is scary. A man breaks into your house and eats your cookies while leaving mud everywhere. So a family of Knights decide they are going to catch him, shame they fell asleep
But hey he left a letter (and an extra gift) apologizing about it, so I guess thats fine
Great pictures everyone, thanks for sharing! I see Father Winter was busy yesterday, and made a good bunch of Sims (specially young Sims) really happy! Also some families having fun!
@aldavor no rules against using CC for the challenges, and this is The Sims - play however you enjoy it most!
@Hodgesgirl15 ops, that didn't work. @rosemow explained the reason perfectly here. But don't worry, we want everyone to be able to join the fun! If you upload the picture to an image sharing website and post the link we'll be able to see it anyways This is a great way to get those points, you are at 13 already! And welcome to the forums!
@uniisimer I see @rosemow already helped there (thanks!). You will become a member in some hours, welcome to the forums!
We didn't have the most successful Winterfest in the Parker household.
The tree burnt down.
Eventually they got a new tree, but when Father Christmas came he didn't even leave any presents. Fail.
(I think my game save is bugged or something else is wrong, because the Ask For Present interaction didn't work either.)

Hello @Orchidah1 Welcome to the forums! EA_Mai posted this in the first post of this thread
But your Sims don’t need an Expansion Pack to fill up their stomachs and celebrate this time of the year with their beloved ones - alternatively, make them invite their family and friends over and capture them enjoying the company!
You could post a screenshot that has your sims celebrating Christmas without Father Winter.
You can’t though have him if you don’t own Seasons.
Is it possible to still participate on the day 1 challenge?

Hi @rosemow , here is my link for day 1 :) h.t.t.ps://i.imgur.com/r3TtspR.png - I waited and waited... Father Winter never came.... Guess I'll have to be better prepared next year :)

Hello @Orchidah1 Here is your picture. It is great that you posted a picture based on your sim waiting for Father Winter to arrive, and he never appeared!

Here is my sim introducing herself and then a shot just as they finished putting the topper on the tree:
The Winters family Tree --- My Mods
My sim dad being the first in line to ask Father Winter for a present.
Father Winter gave Lilith Vatore (no joke) a plasma fruit.
But then she also got a little Christmas miracle goin on too!
Perfect timing in my game and in my simlit.

@Jmaraa congrats to the future mom!
@Vampris kudos for the snow!
@layix3ng your Sims weren't very generous with the cookies, were they?
@catloverplayer @paradiseplanet moved here
And... one more picture from me! My Simself, EA_Spectre's and EA_Mage's celebrating the Winterfest together!

This was my favorite one. I love the toddlers' faces when they see father Winter.
