I tried to add the santa hat to the outfit but the game squashed some parts of it and it didn't look as I wanted.

Interesting. Any chance you could made a new mod (or update this one) that will change all of the text in the game from "Father Winter" to "Santa"?

A pity I can't make Krampus a proper NPC. I would so totally do that.

I actually have my own pre-saved edit of Father Winter(St. Nick Claus) that I use. It's quite easy to simply enter the Father Winder household, add my edit and delete the original when I begin a game. I mention this because it takes care of the hat issue(I have him wearing the santa hats in some outfits) and removes the problem of needing this to be a default replacement. That said, I wouldn't want to remove any swatches from the existing outfit for this though I do love the looks of it. Any chance of a version that's not a default replacement? I've been meaning to find a good Mr. and Mrs. Claus outfit, but haven't gotten around to it and can't remember having seen any that aren't terrible overdone alphas in the past. I quite like this though.

[Edit]: In fact a non-default replacement could always include some other festive and winter colours(even the blue) in THIS more classic western Santa pattern. Honestly, as much as I like a good old world eastern eropean Santa I'm not crazy about EA's take on it.

You actually did it! So, whats next, the easter bunny? Maybe if you do the easter spring bunny thing, can you make an alt freezer bunny default texture for it? Anyway, love this, downloaded and now it's essential for my gameplay :D

Oh, I love the idea of a default replacement for the Spring Bunny. Something more Easter Bunny and less Peter Rabbit. Although Freezer Bunny is a great idea as well. Unfortunately you can't in any way edit(not that I know of at least) the Spring Bunny like Santa, but a default replacement would be a great solution.
Might I suggest for future installments, that instead of replacing the first swatch you first clone it and tack it on at the end of the swatches and then clone it? That way it still exists in CAS for other uses if we want. Not even sure if I said that in a way that makes sense, and I don't mod so I could be wrong about it even being possible, but I wouldn't think so...

Is this working with the latest patch? It seems it needs an update I think, I just passed by to know.
