- Some parties require you to cook level 10 recipes - so if you cater it yourself you will need to have maxed cooking.
- It's much easier to complete with 2 or 3 sims in the household helping out.
- The card table is the best choice to have for games because some parties require 3 sims playing a game together.
- Use several funny interactions in a row within a group to get everyone playful, and keep them away from décor that gives other moods.
- To have sims dancing or listening to music at the same time, first engage them in a group conversation, then you can choose 'listen together' or 'dance together'.
- You don't have to complete every single goal. There are some goals you can get away with missing if you do all of the rest of them, so once you hit gold, you can just click on the timer to end the party
- You will need a bar, some form of instrument or microphone for entertainers, a dining table and chairs for your guests.
- There is some debate on how to give toasts, but for me it works once a sim has a drink in hand, and it is under friendly interactions when you click on the birthday sim.
