The next part of the party planning menu is the possible guests you can invite. Seth chooses a 12-noon start time and casual attire for this one. Wedding parties or parties in fancy-pants houses probably should be formal attire, whereas parties held at pools or ocean lots should be swimwear. Below that is the dress code, in case you have a specific idea in mind. Some people don’t like having parties in the middle of the night, so you’ll need to keep that in mind. Just below the party type selection is the party start time, which you can type in. Note that the party type dropdown box is contextual, so if no one on your lot can have a birthday party, the option won’t even be there. In this case, Seth is choosing birthday party. “House Party” is the default, standard type.

First, you select the type of party you’re going to have. Once Seth uses the Throw Party command, the Party Planner menu pops up. That’s a good option for larger parties if your house is small, though it’s not necessary right now. He could also use the Throw Party At… command, which would have the party off-site. Then, Seth goes to the phone and uses the Throw Party command. Once day breaks, they buy a birthday cake in Buy Mode and place it on the kitchen counter. Seth and Holly have none of these, of course, but they’re going to give a party a shot anyway. Bars are useful also for adult parties, allowing the guests to loosen up and possibly have more fun. Also advised is the $300 buffet table, which allows you to essentially create food instantly, sparing your Sims from having to cook. At minimum, you better have plenty of food around, as well as a decent-sized bathroom to accommodate several guests having the urge at once. If you plan accordingly, it can be organized chaos at least. Parties are paragons of chaos, just because so many people can become involved.
