No parties In Windenburg?

Another simmer was recently discussing the lack of party invites.

Those invites should be toggle on/off, seeing how polarizing they are among players. Personally, I hated them. They were immersion-breakingly out-of-character for the caller and the person being called. I want to be able to turn off ALL phone calls and texts. STOP INTERRUPTING ME.

It was nerfed because people complained of too many invites....
Yep, can't remember the last time I was invited to one....

I get them quite often with all of my sims though I am not sure what exactly triggers them. I play vanilla. With the people who want to visit, I always invite them in but then I just do my thing and don't play nice host every time. My guess is that those sims you barely know are also the one calling you to invite you to these parties, so if you don't allow them to come over and get to know you, they will not call to invite you to go to parties.

I do get invited to go to places as well! But then there's no dj present. Is this a new thing or is this a different kind of party invite? I thought it was a bug. Please bring back the djs and bartenders :(

Come to think of it, where are those invites. I had at least eight Teens in my game spread across four households. Would have been great fun for them to go dancing at the Bluffs or Van Haute Mansion. I used to always send them there, too. With few exceptions, of course.

Those are gone, so are birthday invites from NPCs and I haven’t seen invites to go out to eat lately either. Which I think stinks, because now like everything else I have to force a situation to make it happen because spontaneity is a dirty word in this game.

I had one last month so they aren't gone but they are probably like just a few notches above alien abduction in the realm of possibility for most of us.

I miss those parties, too.

I never got invites to birthday parties but I play with aging off so maybe that affects this kind of invites. But I do get invites to visit other sims, bars and restaurants and those rave parties quite regularly.
