In the Sims 2: Happy Holiday Stuff and the Sims 2: Holiday Party Pack, Sims can throw a New Year’s Party. Around 11 pm, Father Time (left) appears and begins to cause a lot of noise using New Year’s party favors. All of the Sims on the lot will join him.

Despite having the appearance of an Elder, Father Time is actually treated by the game as an Adult. He has the same facial structure as the Therapist and Santa Klaus. Unlike most object NPCs, Father Time can be interacted with by Sims, who will receive a memory of meeting him, but like Santa Klaus, will not appear in the relationships panel. Like all object NPCs, attempting to add him to the household will corrupt the game’s installation files.

At midnight, Father Time will turn into Toddler New Year (right). Despite having the appearance of a toddler, Toddler New Year is actually an adult. He also has blond eyebrows despite having genetics for black hair.
