So I've just recently started building a new house and the house is only 80% filled up. the huge basement only has a laundry room, other than that, it's completely empty. the living room is big and has lots of space but I keep getting the message saying I don't have enough room for the gift pile
I even tried clearing up the garage because I saw someone's post saying their gift pile spawns in the garage. I do have lots of lights hanging from the ceiling and I'm wondering if I should clear those up too :shock: can't the gift pile spawns in the basement since the basement is completely empty, I'm sure it has plenty of room for it to spawn.

Try to remove all ceiling lamps in the room where you intend to have your Gift giving party, use wall or floor lamps only...
Are there any objects whose footprint overlaps that space even if the object is not physically in the same space? (Especially ceiling lights)
For example, the pool table is only about 3x3, but it's footprint is something like 6x6 because it needs the space around it to ensure sims have enough room to use it. The empty space between the pool table and the end of its footprint is still considered used space.
Also, make sure that you don't have any mods or CC installed that could interfere with it. And, with as many people as have had problems with this, it could also just be bugged and not your setup at all.
I hope that helps.
aahh I'll try that now
Edit: It didn't work =/ I took off the coffee tables and expanded the seats so there's a 4x4 space for the gift pile, I even tried taking out the TV lol. Still get the message
Oh and I moved the ceiling light too
and you moved the seating away from the windows? I believe the windows take up room too. Move everything to the middle of the room...that big open space by the piano should work.
I even tried deleting those seats and place 2 normal sofas down and still didn't work
You can read how I fixed the same issue here: you have to scroll down to about the 10th post and you'll see what I figured out.

Not really..those Sims just add to it when they get there. It needs a 4X4 space and mine always shows up in front of the front door.
I can set up the xmas lights just fine, I tried switching to 2 different premade families and both can have gift giving parties with no problem. I think my house is glitched =/ hope EA would release a patch to fix it soon.
I didn't get any trick-or-treaters for Spooky Day, either, so my attempts at holidays in Seasons so far have been pretty much one big FAIL, and quite disappointing.
I hope this helps? =(
In the first i had an 8x8 empty space and could NOT have a gift party i keep getting the message not enough space .
In the second house the party worked fine it placed the mat on a 3x3 empty space . The mat itself is only 2x2
I have not managed to test again since but the only other possibility is that the room needs somewhere for every person to sit
The smaller house that had only the 3x3 space had eight seats in the room and everyone sat down 2 family members 5 guests , the bigger space only had 6 seats in the room and 4 family members and 6 guests

I think you are correct. I think the system is looking at the room closest to the front door. I think her staircases are causing the issue. Maybe clear out the items in the back or set the door near the living room as the front door. The Gurus should let us know what the gift pile looks for so we can rearrange our houses accordingly.
