You might decorate your Sims’ homes for Christmas, but once the festivities were over, the decorations and costumes were probably getting put away for a while. Holiday Party Pack and Happy Holiday Stuff were great for throwing festive parties and perfect for celebrating Christmas in your game, but unless you celebrated Christmas every day, this was one of those Stuff Packs that you probably wouldn’t use as much as the others. Adding the Santa NPC to the mix was a nice touch too, especially if he left your Sims a present. You pretty much got everything you needed to make your Sims’ homes look perfect for the Christmas season.

Not only did you get the traditional Christmas tree, but also stocking that you could hang on your Sims’ fireplace, windows with frost and special stickers, wreaths, and lots more. The decorations didn’t disappoint though. It would have been nice to have thrown in some snazzy Christmas jumpers or t-shirts, and maybe funny reindeer antlers or Santa hats to wear. You could deck your Sims out in some Christmas-themed clothing, but the outfits were very much like costumes. This Stuff Pack was great if you wanted to celebrate Christmas in The Sims 2. It was basically the same as Holiday Party Pack, except it added twenty new items. Additionally, The Sims 2: Holiday Edition was re-released, which included the updated holiday Stuff Pack with the base game. In 2006, the Holiday Party Pack was re-released as Happy Holiday Stuff.

While Expansion Packs expanded gameplay, Stuff Packs gave us new objects and clothes for Sims. When The Sims 2 came out, a new type of pack was introduced: Stuff Packs.
