Prom needs to go for SO much longer!

Agreed, I couldn't believe how quickly it went. I didn't have time to get my votes in either. My Sim danced and that's about all they got to do.

I haven't got the pack yet, but I was watching Clare Siobhan's HSY series, and she said the same thing. It certainly seemed to go quick. Such a shame!

Sure does, especially when you have multiple sims from your household attend.

It went so quickly my third Prom, that my Sim never got to dance! He did propose marriage to his sweetheart, though after he won the Crown for Prom Royalty. I got hung up on the show off outfit. But, he earned the silver medal this time! That's a step up from the first and second prom.

They should resolve it like certain "events" in the My Time series. For example, when I enter a dungeon in My Time in Sandrock, it will tell me beforehand that I will spend 3h and however much Stamina. It doesn't matter how much IRL time it takes to complete the stage, when I leave, it's 3h later in game. Should be the same for prom. I understand that completing goals within a certain time frame is also supposed to present a challenge, but you want your Sims to have time to have fun, catch up with friends and frenemies, use the photo booth etc. For the way I want to play prom a set time frame - within which time stands still - would be the best solution.

Usually I end my parties much earlier than they're supposed to last since they go on forever. Proms however........I've never ended a party THAT fast, even the "After party" is over before you can even blink.

It goes really fast, you can get gold by doing the simple tasks and ignoring those that take longer (like dancing with someone) but then it becomes less fun.

I thought the same thing, just as I was starting to have my sim have fun it was almost over. I didn’t even get to vote! Lol I’ve used mccc to slow my game down so I’m hoping that will help next time.

So true! Trying to whack out enough goals in time makes it a grind instead of an experience. It literally feels like you arrive, and you better not chat or interact, no, you gotta hustle through the checkpoints before it's too late!
Certainly no time for fun or romance.

I wish they could make prom last at least as long as a date.

i’ve played prom once so far, I agree. I only got both teens to silver, and the last tasks were literally not doable. I barely got to enjoy my sims actually being there because i worried so much about getting some tasks completed, which is a shame.
