Christmas Lights

Is the door set as the front door? Or maybe there isn't anywhere for the lights to hang? Try adding a roof section somewhere and then try?

Oh, that's probably what it is.  It's one of those lunar modern houses that has a flat roof business.

Thomas, that was hilarious.

I found if you click a townies front door you can hang lights at their house as well.

I had the same problem Pam, unfortunately, the lights do not show up on flat roofs.  I had to put a roof on to get the lights to show up.  I guess you have to have the over hang that a roof has.  The pics are really pretty.

That's what I ended up doing.  The roof looks silly on the lunar modern house, but I've got lights!

Are you sure?  I just tried it and didn't get the option.

That is strange, I am also able to click neighbors front doors and put lights on their house as well.

I have put lights on neighbors houses as well. It is fun to make the town all pretty.

Those of us able to hang lights on neighbors house, do we all have NRaas Home Opener installed?

I think that's what was enabling me to hang lights on other lots as well as preventing me from trick-or-treating. With that installed the game kind of treats every lot as if it were your own home lot.

No I don't have those mods but I can hang lights on townies houses. You have to click on their front door to do so or it doesn't work. It also must not be a dome roof ect.

[PolarBair]

okay, that's interesting. I thought for sure that was it.

[Lytaren]

I started to put lights on all the other houses in town, then I left them there the whole game because I couldn't be bothered going back and getting rid of them.  I even do it to my own sims house, I hardly ever have it all closed up so you can see the roof, and often it will be summer again before I realise I've left the lights up all year!

It looks kinda weird when you have a fire fighting Sim on a job and gets the options "break down door" and "Put up lights" seems like the wrong time for decorating really!

I have been trying to figure this out for days. After all these years I still don't just come right to the forum. 



I too tried to click a neighbor's door and couldn't get the option to add lights.
