5.1.1 Parties
-------------
Parties are an important part of the game, especially for the popularity Sim.
Even if your Sim has a different Aspiration than popularity, it is very likely
that your Sim will still want to have, unless your Sim is very shy that is.
There are a couple of very important parts to having a successful party. First
thing is, what type of party to have. There are 4 types of parties. There are
House Parties, Birthday Parties, Wedding Parties and Anniversary Parties.
Which kind of party you have has a big impact on what need to happen at the
party that you hold. A normal house party and an anniversary party has no event
that needs to occur. Birthday and Wedding Parties will be looked into later.
The first thing that you need to do to hold a party is have your Sim make the
phone call. Invite over the maximum number of Sims that you can. This will help
the party be a success. Even invite over a few extras the normal way. Although
the important guest are those that where invited to the party.
The way that parties are score if complicated, but it is important to make sure
your guest have every thing they could want, make sure there is plenty of food
and entertainment. Buy a bar, and even the Whatay Buffet, get a bartender. Some
other things that are important to have are the entertainment items, a TV and
game system, stereo and the best thing is a hot tub.
Parties are scored depending on each of the guest mood and relationship ratings.
There are six possible outcomes for a party.
1 - A Roof Raiser
2 - A Good Time
3 - Not Bad
4 - A Snoozer
5 - A Real Dud
6 - A Total Disaster
Note - Cops can come and break up your party if it run after 11pm, you have
more than 4 guest and you have the stereo on.
Birthday and Wedding parties are considered as special event parties, and as
such must have certain events occur in order for the party to be a success. A
birthday party must have the birthday Sim age during the party. The best way to
ensure this is to use the birthday cake. Try to time the birthday cake, or the
aging of the Sim to be as later in the party as possible.
At a Wedding party the lucky couple should get married. The best way for this
to happen at the party is to have the wedding arch there. Place the wedding arch
anywhere on the lot, and when the party gets to about the half way point, use
the Wedding Arch to "Get Married" and a full set of nuptials.
Tip - Set out chairs for the guest and they will sit for the wedding. Also,
buy the wedding cake and have the newly weds cut it.
