Why do my guest keep leaving from my party?

[Arief777]

I have a very strange problem in the sims 3 that i never encounter before. My guest keep leaving from my party. Why? I allready put the toilet in my house, I allready turn on the radio that can make the sim dance everytime they came to my party, I allready made the food, I allready change the door just to make sure that the new door is not lock. But my guest keep leaving? They don't even want to enter my house. Well some of them enter my house, but the one that does, doesn't want to dance! They only talking for a couple of while and then left, I even change the setting in the option button to high free will so that the guest in my party will do something crazy but they just keep leaving. So I threw my party outside and guess what? my guest still leaving. All they did, is just stand outside looking at my sim, and then leave. So my Sim call them back, and when they come back, they come back as a group. but even as a group, they still don't want hang out for a long time. What should I do?  Usually in my other sim character everytime i threw a party the guest will chase me wherever i go! How come in my sim for this one everyone keep leaving? My sim has a high relationship to all of his friends so obviously its not because guest hate him? Why did they keep leaving? My house is quite big btw. Well its not that big but fit for a couple of people to come and dance in my party. Does someone experience this before? I cant be the only person in the world who experience before? I need help, please will anyone help me?

You have to invite them in. Click on one, than choose 'Invite all'. I play the English version of the game so it must be the exact word combination I've used here.
You also need to keep your sim at home while the party is playing otherwise your guest will leave, leaving notes like: 'I asume you're busy. I am going home now, bey!'
Other than that, you could make a dish of food, click on it and choose that every guest needs to eat now. Other than that, I don't know why it doesn't work.

That has not been my experience. My typical party set-up is:

1) Make the phone call;
2) Start dancing;
3) Guests show up and come right in the door;
4) Call over to Dance.

In that case: try both of our methods Arief, and see what works best for you.

The other thing to consider is what time of the day the party starts.

If it is during the day the guests may try to leave for work, I get that happening sometimes. 

Parties in the evening or on the weekends during the day, the guests come straight to where the host is (so I also start them dancing so they aren't in the bathroom or other small room) and seem to work best.

Parties late in the evening will have the guests going home to sleep.

I also tend to have better luck throwing parties on the front yard than inside.

Do you have Late night? Iv'e found a bug in some games where it does that. Also invite them in and if you want... be evil and lock them up in a cage .

I always throw parties outside in the garden. Since I got late night I have noticed that celebrities and vampires tend to go home early unless you have a high enough celebrity status.

That is interesting. Maybe you can place coffins for the vampires to sleep in? I don't know if that keeps them from leaving earlier ('help, the sun is rising!') but it sounds logical.

Probably not.  Vampires are too stupid to do anything for their own good.  They won't even eat a stupid plasma fruit at my Dreamweaver house to keep from dying of the thirst.

LOL "dying of the thirst"

But, yeah, I agree.  They won't use your coffins.  That seems like a pretty personal thing to share.  "Oh, mind if I sleep in your coffin for a bit?  I hope you didn't leave any decomposing flesh in there!!"

Oh my... that is disgusting! ... And funny at the same time.

Well thats the thing my sim is at home when i throw the party, and he is a 5 star celebrity so I dont really know why does the guest keep leaving. I allready invited the guest in and they still leaving, and I also allready turn on the music and try to make the guest dance but again they still left. I tried to throw the party at night but the solution is still the same! Its not like this whenever i played my other sim character. Its really sadden me because i really wanted to throw a decent wedding party for both my sim and I cant do that because the guest keep leaving. So is there any method that i should tried? Please I really need some help

[Naga]

What are your sim's traits? Is he/she a vampire? Do you have the electronic gate?

I don't have late night, so I'm not sure if it's something to do with that.
However, I can suggest getting the Legendary Host lifetime reward. I found it makes my parties more successful.
