Here’s all the info from the official blog:
“Sul Sul Simmers,
Welcome to our 103rd Update, ‘Home for the Holidays’!
Embrace the sweet feeling of returning ho-ho-home this holiday season! You’ll be helping your Sim save Simsmas (like you do, every year), in a jolly adventure starring Santa, Mrs. Claus, Santa Sr., Cirrus the meteorologist, the Ice Queen, and your Sims of course.
Your Sims can also participate in the big SimTown Bake Off and enjoy their new holiday pastime—crocheting. They also get to renovate their childhood home and so much more.
Finally, we’ll be celebrating our 13th Birthday (woohoo!)
Now, let’s get straight into the many merry details!
Everything new, listed below for you:
Simsmas Quest ‘A Claus for Reunion’
“Is it even Simsmas without something being amiss?” ponders your Sim on the couch. And those woes come to frosty fruition in the quest ‘A Claus for Reunion’.
Help your Sims reconcile the differences in the Claus family and save Simsmas. To be sure, it’s a yule chore, but you’re not doing it alone. Cirrus, the meteorologist, and Mrs Claus are here to help make sure it’s a Simsmas miracle in the end!
The quest’s rewards help you build a hamlet-esque home with timeless furnishings, holiday-season decor, and a secret garden—how very demure!
SimChase Season 81 ‘The SimTown Bake Off’
SimTown’s buzzing with excitement for its very own Bake Off, not your Sim though. They’re nervous and for good reason. Their childhood friend, and now renowned TV chef Amy Joliver is also back in town for the holidays and competing! Are your Sim’s skills half-baked, or will your victory be the icing on the cake? It’s on you to step in to not only help your Sim dazzle Joliver, but also all of SimTown and claim victory in the Grand Bake Off!
Rewards ranging from cozy wooden sinks, cupboards, and floorings to kitchen essentials like punch pots, weighing scales, and waffle irons help bring a classic village feel to your SimTown!
Influence Island Season 58 ‘Make the Yuletide Glam’
Santa’s Holiday Committee has voted. This year’s Simsas theme is cottage-core, much to your very modern, glam, and bougie Sim’s disappointment. But all hope is not lost yet. Help your Sim convince the committee to change their vote and ‘make the yuletide glam’!
The rewards for doing so include a slew of modern and minimal holiday furnishings, decor, and outfits. And did we mention their rival in this race is Santa himself?!
SimChase Season 82 ‘Festive Fare!’
A hearty meal made with love can often steal the show on Simsmas. SimChase ‘Festive Fare!’ brings all the items your Sims need to make one for the ones they care about. Let’s just hope everyone is on their best behavior this year.
Play the event to earn timeless countertops and bar sinks coupled with merry outfits and classy kitchenware!
Influence Island Season 59 ‘Sew Far, Sew Good!’
Simsmas Season has your Sim inspired to pick up crocheting. Alas, it seems all of SimTown had the same idea, and there’s just not enough yarn and thread for everyone! It’s time they influenced their fellow fiber fanatics to save them some.
We’ve got rewards such as vintage sewing machines, designer nursing chairs, wooden laundry racks and sewing supply cabinets, fake cacti to poke needles into, a glass jar to store buttons in, a new crochet action and so much more!
Live Event ‘Tudor & Scholar’
Your Sim takes the country roads to their childhood home. Unfortunately, it’s been so long, and the years haven’t been kind to the house. Bring back that Sims magic and get it festively fresh!
Completing this live event earns you items to build a British Tudor house, including windows and staircases with fine woodwork, timeless table lamps and towel racks, and other cottage-core furnishings and decorations.
What else you can expect when jumping in:
That’s not all. What fun is the holiday season without an overwhelming amount of gifts? It’s best you check your inbox regularly; we don’t want to spoil the surprise(s)!
The holiday season isn’t the only thing we’re celebrating. December 15th will be our 13th birthday. We’ll drop a gift in the inbox for every Simmer!
Influence Island ‘Lullaby Loft’ returns with another opportunity to help you earn items to build a cozy, comfy, and extremely sleep-inducing loft.
We’re trying something new with Influence Island events ‘Make the Yuletide Glam’ and ‘Lullaby Loft’. We know you have a lot to do during the holidays, so we are shortening these from 10 to 5 days, inducing a range of prizes, and balancing changes. Let us know what you think of these over on our socials!
We’re celebrating the launch of ‘MySims’ by sending you a gift in your inbox. It’s available until December 4th, 2024.”
