Step by Step Guide: Holiday Town Gate 1

1. Place an expansion on the square where you see the first Holiday Town Gate (the one with the Giving Tree on it).

   

   
   
2. Once you have expanded to that square, click on the Gate to start the quest.

   
   

   
   
3. After clicking on the tree you will see the following quest icon and the requirements for the first quest. To see these requirements again you can click on the icon or the Gate (the "Giving Tree").
   
   
   
   
   
   
4. After you have completed the four part quest you will see an arrow indicating that you should click on the Gate.

   

5. Clicking on the Gate once all the quests are completed will transform it into the Giving Tree decoration and a few free accessory decorations (4 Snowy Street Lights and 12 City Sidewalks). 

   

   
   
6. You are then welcome to move the Giving Tree and the accessory decorations to a new location if you wish, though they would have to be moved separately.
