Prom isn't long enough

Prom isn't long enough, everytime I send my sim to prom he never has enough time to complete all the tasks to get a gold event. Because sometimes he lags even when I've told him to dance, the action doesn't load up in time. I think making prom an hour or so longer might help

  • @GraveyyyyyBoi k I've finally played long enough to reach prom and I absolutely agree. Also because the announcement of prom royalty takes so long, it takes away from other activities. I get why the announcement is forced and I kind of agree to it (except that my sim refused to drink punch AND watch the announcement) so that the other teens actually pay attention to it, that is also the reason why prom events should be longer so there's enough time for other things than the announcement.
  • I've tried hard at prom 7 times now. Once I got lucky with little lag and just reached silver award. Every time I do prom I am extremely focused, making sure I stop the action as soon as the task is completed. I pause as soon as I try the next given task. But even with putting maximum effort - there is NO WAY I CAN GET THE GOLD AWARD!
    Is it the lag or just not enough time to be able to complete all the tasks?
    I´ve tried everything and watched other players gameplay, but when I play it there just isn't enough time. It's no fun when it's not even a challenge - its just impossible...
    please fix
    So far - every aspect of High School pack has been dissapointing...

    I know there has been a thread in "Feedback" regarding this.
    But I have now tried over and over, watching other gameplays and read guides that says the same standard information about prom.
    Out of 8 tries, everyone except one try I got bronze award. One time I was lucky enough to get silver - without any lag and the sim for once did exactly what I told it to do and nothing else.
    There just is not enough time to be able to achieve the gold reward for the prom.
    I wish to report this as a bug since it is a game function that is not working as it should.
    Or if i just should give up - and therefore a big part of gameplay from HSY is not satisfactory - please let me know and I'll uninstall HSY instead
    (Already reported issues: Can't get higher grades If I join school, after school activities just rabbit holes, prom not showing on calendar. Therefore none of the expectations/highlights of HSY are up to par)

  • Once again modders to the rescue! I put Bienchen's longer prom mod in and now it's a lot better! I can't recommend it enough, the default length is just ridiculous as we all know!

    I don’t like the prom and how much task we must do for gold. My first prom was a disaster now I use UI Cheats and click all task off; I don’t need a dungeons master for something as prom. I want that my sims (and myself) can enjoy the prom without hassle. I agree prom a little longer would be nice it is pure stress to reach gold in this state.

  • I struggled for a while to even get the prompt to go to prom. I agree that it's not long enough. And with so much added game lag, it's almost impossible to get anything above silver. And I don't really care about that part, but it would still be nice if it were doable. I do care about the fact that my sim really can't do much but queue up stuff and hope she gets it done before prom ends. And they NEVER dance together.

  • Totally agree with this. I don't want to spend all my sim's time speed-running the requirements to have a successful prom - there needs to be some time for just socialising, having fun and exploring all the possible storylines. More time is definitely needed.

    @GraveyyyyyBoi Honestly, they should make events like prom “freeze time” — it starts at 8PM, ends at 11PM, but the in-game clock is out of commission. Let prom be a time pocket of its own.
    The same could be done to social events and active jobs, perhaps, though none of those is even remotely as hardcore to do perfectly as prom is.
