Invite Household

Yes, I'd love this feature back! Right now, if I want two rival households to get together for a dinner party where they realize that they'll never get along, I can't just have one sim from one side know one sim from the other and go from there. Nooo. I have to have at least one sim from one side know everyone from the other side to do anything of the sort. It's so clunky compared to TS2...

Would be nice if my sim could have family at the wedding even if they never met all of them.
"So sorry I couldn't invite your younger brother to our wedding dear , I just never met him."
"Hey , at least I met your parents and was able to invite them."

100 % need/want/must have this!

Please, gurus!
It's such a useful little thing.

I’m bumping this up because this would be great for family play!

Having relatives come over with their families or even family friends!

I support the “Invite Household” movement!

yes please , with every new pack I'm hoping this is one of the missing things that will be added .

I also think this is something that should have been incorporated. The Sims four had so much potential. Don't get me wrong I do love the game, but there's so much that could have been fixed before they released it.

I second all of this. It would also be nice, when planning events, to be able to click through to see the relationships of other household members. Since kids can't plan parties, that means I have to go the trouble of introducing all the kids friends to their parents in order to invite them to their birthday party. Instead, there could simply be a "view X's contacts" and select from there.

I just found a mod for this, it's new and gets updated so it should work. As people mentioned it's a script mod, meaning it doesn't "add" things to the game, it just changes the script for it. And that means it's less likely to get buggy.

It's not a complete "invite household", but it's definitely better. It makes it so that you can click on an NPC and get a menu of their family members, who you then can click to invite over.

That said I really agree that this isn't something you should need mods for! It's super annoying and not realistic at all that you have to get to know every member of a family individually, and obviously it's not that hard to fix since this mod does just that. I really hope this will get patched.

@5000birds Thank you, I remember that LittleMsSam is a very reliable modder and she does update her mods diligently with every patch so I would head there and get this one first rather than waiting for the devs forever and ever, I do hope she could make a version of inviting the whole household too.
