Re: [NEEDS INPUT] Only one guest can be invited to stay the night

This option I think is part of base game and is a event gameplay feature, so only one sim can spend the night at a time.  The game can only do one event at a time.

A good example is one of my sims a teenage girl named Clair, had a Date at the community park in Willow Creek, when they got there the Date spawned with her and her date, plus her brother spawned there because it was the same place as their club activity, even though he was not part of the social event Date,  he could not leave the lot because of a active social event going on.

spending the night is treated more like a social event.  However you can take turns.

So I am guessing this is "By Design."

    Thank you. I should probably abandon this bug thread, because clearly all the trouble I went through to:

    • test this extensively in my own game;
    • have a second person verify it completely independently on a completely different game;
    • identify the exact piece of game code which accounts for this behaviour;
    • test the fixed version in my own game where it now works properly and I can invite multiple people to stay the night

    ... it was all apparently for nothing.

  • @simvasion The other part of that game code is groups, you can have more than one group on any lot just not more than 8 sims total if groups. However, that came with Get together, I never tested it, but if you wanted both sims romantic interest to spend the night set one in group A and the other in group B. Not sure if it will work with groups though. I don't have two sims with romatic interest to try it right now.

    @Sid1701d9  thanks, but we don't need you to try anything.

    I tried to point out to you that we already tested it, found the issue, discovered exactly why it happens and I even fixed it. I posted the code that I used for the fix so that Maxis can use it.


    Help is not required. This is not a thread that ever needed help. It doesn't need incorrect guesses and untested speculations. I just made this thread so that the SimGurus can log the bug and fix it if they choose to.
