Set it and forget it! These objects either change with the seasons or disappear entirely outside of winter.

I never decorate my sims homes for the holidays, much less any community lots, since it's too much trouble to change everything out when winter is over. Midgethetree's disappearing decorations helped with that a little, but I wanted to take it a step further with the statues and wall hangings that I never used. Instead of disappearing, which makes a whole slot useless for three seasons, I thought why not replace them with other objects?

To make them useful for the most people, I chose to have them transform into other vanilla game items. Items are from various expansion/stuff packs, so the Ultimate Collection is recommended, but some of these may work with other game combinations as long as you at least have Seasons and the Holiday Stuff Pack.

I tried to pick things by similar vibes and equal footprints. If you don't like my choices, or you have the perfect piece of CC you want to use, it's very easy to change and instructions are in the README. The order of seasons can also be changed via BCON if yours don't follow Spring/Summer/Fall/Winter.

Notes:

• All objects are repositoried to their original counterparts and should pick up recolors. Catalog placement has been changed to General/Party. A collection file is included.
• Wall objects: Choose only one version. If you use threadandsandpaper's sweetdownlow wall deco defaults, choose the DownLow versions. If you don't, choose RegHeight.
• Objects will update at 6 am after the season changes or when you go in/out of Live mode. Works on community or residential lots. If you set them for sale in an owned business, they will not change seasonally.

This object is a little different in that it changes textures. There were no seasonal recolors, so I created my own. They are separate files that recolor the original object, and can be used without this seasonal clone, but the clone will not function without them. The recolor you choose to hang will be the one that is used during Winter.

I used stickers from Flaticon to create the recolors. Credits:
