Santa Klaus (NPC)

Santa Claus (or Santa Klaus) is an NPC from The Sims: Livin' Large, The Sims 2: Holiday Party Pack, and The Sims 2: Happy Holiday Stuff that may appear on a Sim's lot and leave presents.
==The Sims 2: Holiday Party Pack==
With The Sims 2: Holiday Party Pack or The Sims 2: Happy Holiday Stuff, Santa Claus (the game spells it as Santa Klaus) will appear if there is a Christmas tree on the lot and Santa biscuits were baked. Children can meet him, and he will leave one present. If there are biscuits left for him to eat he will leave a good present, otherwise he will leave coal. A downside is that he will use the toilet constantly.
The first time a Sim interacts with Santa Claus, they will instantly become best friends, even though he will not appear in the relationships panel and cannot be called using the phone. Oddly, in his in-game image he looks a lot like Father Time and the Therapist, whereas in-game he has a completely different face. Despite having grey hair, he has the appearance of an adult, and has an adult male voice, provided by voice actor Stephen Kearin.
Making him selectable, adding him to a family, or doing anything with him outside of his designated purposes will cause game corruption, as his character file is located in the H05.bundle.package file, and is the same for all neighbourhoods. A much safer way to play as Santa is to create him in CAS, as his hair, beard and outfit are available there, as well as his makeup. However, he has a very different facial structure than any of the default faces which requires lots of skill and precision to recreate.
An exact replica of Santa can be downloaded here. This will save players the trouble of replicating Santa's facial structure. When viewing Santa's character data in SimPE, his personality and interests will appear blank. It is strongly not recommended to add him to a playable household using cheats, as it can cause game corruption.
