Parties change from Roof Raiser to Disaster at random

Hmm where you playing in a dorm or a rented lot? Girlfriend can't be asked to move in in a dorm. But anyway, I know the parties (any of them) will go from roof raising to disaster if the event the party was for did not take place. Like a birthday party, but no one aged up. Or a wedding, and nobody got married. I would assume if you through the party and your sim didn't go through the graduation scene, that would cause it. How much time was left when it tanked? Did the girlfriend move in?

It was at university, but in a rented house (not a dorm).

There was still 1:30 left when it happened, and it was a graduation party.

Thankfully I hadn't done much, so I just exited without saving and tried again, the second time did the exact same sequence of events but with no issues.

I'd like to be able to avoid this in future, but I still can't pinpoint a cause (since there's no specific fear or interaction that triggers it, my guess is that it's a bug somewhere). Appreciate the help though!

IIRC it was an old bug they patched at some time, the way TS2UC combined packs like Fun with Pets, and that other one into TS2UC may have caused it to come back. It's known that all EPs, patches and SPs, should have been installed into the pc in the order they were released, TS2UC doesn't take any of that into consideration, but it was later known to Maxiods that was actually something they found out later, and advised much later (Around the time BV came out) they had been wrong and yes, everything should be installed in order of release. But TS2UC combines packs out of order so old bugs may pop back up, I guess.

I didn't know that, but it would explain a lot. If that's the case, I think I'll just save often during parties.

Thanks!
