Last update: 11 May 2016

General Information

A thing that is important in the life of the Sim are social events. It is a good idea to organize some of them, e.g. the wedding or the birthday party. Others, such as e.g. a ceremonial dinner can be organized whenever you feel like to. Remember that organizing a party costs between 100 and 1 000 Simoleons. To organize a party, click the phone and select "Plan a social event". After that, from the list of the available ones, select the one that you are interested in. The available ones are: black and white party, "Incognito" costume ball, Apartment Party, ceremonial dinner, wedding party and birthday party.

In the next window, specify the host, the celebrating person or the newlyweds. Then, pick your guests - you need to select, at least, 2 Sims. However, you can make things easier by selecting one of the house mates as the person to celebrate/host and pick two remaining ones as the guests - it is easier to succeed at organizing the party then, because you can control all of the Sims that participate the party. Apart from inviting your guests, you can also hire the cook, mixiologist or the master of ceremonies.

The final stage is to select the place. You can organize some of the parties in several available locations, whereas other can be organized only in one location, e.g. the house. Remember that, all in all, a party organized at home is more likely to be successful.

During the party, time until the end of the event, as well as all the requirements for a successful party, are displayed in the upper corner. The requirements may vary, from one type of a party to another. Often they are connected with preparation of a specific dish (e.g. the dessert or the dinner), a drink, playing on a specific instrument (piano or the guitar), doing something together (listening to music, dancing), with performing specific interactions or with getting the Sims there the specific mood (flirty, happy). Because of that - if you want to achieve all of that on your own,, including the kitchen the bar - it is best to have developed skills, such as cooking, mixiology, guitar or piano at, at least level 3-4. To dance, you need your own stereo system (the one available in the buying mode, in the salon tab). If you want to set a specific mood, you can use potions, but you do not need to. to make them cheerful, use a comedy channel on TV, to make them flirtatious, flirt around with them, etc.

For the party that you organize, you can receive bronze, silver or gold.
