How to set up the FUN party in the sims? 🎉
Questions to ask yourself
What is the event?
Who's invited?
Is there a theme?
Where is the party located?
What's the age of the sims?
Who is this party for?
Do I have to do any CC shopping for this event?
Do I need to download a mod for this party?
Gameplay Tips:
Take advantage of the seasons calendar to set up the event. Example: party spirit tradition, sims will do autonomous interactions that show they're feeling festive.
Example: Give Gifts tradition, sims will give you gifts
If you want sims not to work during the event, you can click for them to not go to work that day too
Set up VFX, if that's what your party needs [RVSN mod]
Create a menu for your sims, and prepare the food a day in advance
Consider sim's lifestyles. Is a sim a vegetarian, or lactose-intolerant? Are there any kids to give them pizza? Is there a junk food lifestyle sim you want to give them something greasy?
Buffet Table [use bb.moveobjects] to get more slots available
Set up Cannons in correct placement aligned with where you want your sims to celebrate
Have a recovered copy your save, if you don't want to go through the mess of cleaning/removing build mode objects. Not only that, but sometimes, you may need to film again. If you save before the party starts, you can keep replaying the party until you get the party you want (hope this makes sense)
The baby shower event from growing together, sims give the host gifts autonomously and sims celebrate properly when the cannon is fired
Set up cannons from growing together expansion pack, in a correct placement that is aligned with where you want your sims to celebrate accordingly
MWS wedding events are perfect for events you need sims to follow your instructions such as "dance" "gather around"
Steady seat is perfect for seating arrangements
Have a photoshoot area ready, if the party needs it, so you can pose your sims. I recommend custom pose shopping in advance, but after the fact isn't bad either; just don't delete the copy of your save until you've completed that.
Place gameplay objects you need for the party around the lot. Example: If it's a birthday party and there's space, have the pirate ship "rented". You know how parents add bouncy castles and stuff for events? Think of it like that.
When it comes to arranging the table, have your sim add the placemat from parenthood around the table. Sometimes, your sim may not be able to add the placement, you can go into build mode and move the placement to the one your sim couldn't and go back into live mode and have your sim do it all over again until every spot has a placemat. If you have better-build-buy mod, you can copy the debug object yourself and place it around.
When it comes to decorating and you are having issues with slots, I recommend OMSP. It is explained in my video at 28:18♥
If you're having a dinner party, have your sim "pick up serving" for drinks and food, your sim will place the food in their inventory and you can place it yourself around the table. Perfect example to see this is Joy of Life Legacy challenge when my sim had a Winterfest dinner party (33:26)*
Don't forget to add kiss of freshness lot modifier on your lot, so food doesn't expire
Place the food over the placemat, and have their drink to their right side.
Zero's drinking mod works like placemat where your sims can place drinks around the table. There's age appropriate drinks too like juices and sodas for child/teen sims.
The Sims 4 gallery contains rooms where there's food for your sims and if you didn't have time to cook. Miss_frogstar has a bunch of rooms for your sims that contain food. It's really detailed for you.
Have a serving table, if your party is meant to have a lot of guests and food. It takes the load off you, when you don't have to worry about table slots for larger events.
Create sims you can hire for events. Think of these sims like Nurse Joy from Pokémon. You can have this sim be a townie in all your saves. Cheat their skills and hire them for events/set their outfits.
Lock them doors LMAO! Sims love to misbehave and go everywhere, so it's easier to have them be in certain areas by locking the door of the rooms you don't want them to be in.
I also recommend saving the party decorated home in your gallery, so you can just place it again in the future and remix it to how you want it
Sometimes you got to combine different events to create the atmosphere you want in your game, so don't be too hard on yourself, if you feel like it's not going how you want. We all know parties in the sims isn't perfect at all
