I hadn't though about it but it occurred to me that despite having lots of npc friends and besties over the years I have not had a sim get invited to a party in a long time. What happened to the parties?
Now that you mention it I had those too, my sim usually started at OS, so often it was Malcolm's party to YA.
I only had basegame at the time, I'm a late comer to ts4, but now I do remember having those. I can totally live without, but I am curious now.
There is an open bug report here if all or most invites have stopped:

I see there is also a mod (for players who play on pc and use mods) to be invited to NPC parties.
I wonder why I've never seen these in my game, prior to me turning off ageing a while ago. Perhaps it started after I did that 🤔. I'm curious about it too now lol.
I still get other invites, just not parties. I think it might be all events the player can initiate such as house parties and playdates since I've seen in some older stuff that people got those.
@Wolfie_GirlXoxI've never seen playdate invites in all this time of playing. But you can create those yourself. Never seen house parties either. Just invites to go to a Sims house to hang out. But I did see it was possible with a mod to go to a proper house party at another Sim's house.
If you have Get Together there are gatherings you can create with clubs too.Edit: I forgot to grab an image of the toddler playdate option from the Toddlers pack when I was in my game, but I've just found one to attach here.
I am aware of ways that the player can initiate these activities but it is sad that npc's don't invite us, especially considering that they might have before.
