Don't the parties depend on people doing interactions to them so I am not quite sure what you mean by lower level players having parties. I have gone to a few that didn't max to 10 and I have been to parties that are at level 10 when I get there.

I'm not talking about the party leveling up to 10 or not. I haven't thrown a party yet. I might throw one tomorrow ;) @rosemow explained to me that if your at a lower level in the game, the game will not give you party food, balloons, etc when you throw a party. I have been to several parties where the player still had the original house the game gives you They have not made improvements so they are not entitled to party activities the game gives you when you throw a party.

You know how you have to fill your own sims bar while they are at the party, I have been to several where I can not even complete my sim's party bar because the player throwing the party is at such a low level. They have nothing to do at the party at all

Hello
I didn’t mean that the game wouldn’t allow the simmers to have party food and balloons. They would have those items. What I meant was that what extra items are available for the simmers to use for the party may not be available if the player level is low. I wasn’t sure at all. I was just wondering if that was the case.

Oh ok I misunderstood you. I guess we will have to test this out or maybe someone at EA or another simmer will chime in if they have thrown parties while being at a very low level in the game. Is this a case of people not knowing they can add party activities or they are not entitled to party activities for being at a lower game level.

It just doesn't let you do certain things if you don't have them like hobbies are sometimes at parties if the people have them and the sim has that hobby and I think jobs show up as interactions to. But I think you can still have the party decorations regardless if you are low leveled.

I know that as far as jobs or hobbies.

If the game permits you to have decorations regardless of level, ea should add a game tutorial before people start the game. I have been to that many parties where I can't complete my party bar because players don't add parties activities and decorations

If you interract with the other sims, you should be able to get the points needed to fill the party bar. If there are less than 3 sims at the party at that time though, the amount of party xp points given is reduced when clicking on objects.

These parties that I have been to never have enough sims to even speak to so I can complete the party bar. I can only put out a suggestion to ea that parties should be tied to level. They should give a tutorial on how to throw parties along with other game play like the pc versions

These players that are throwing parties at a very low level in the game, most would not have opened sim slots so they may only have one sim in the game. It's hard completing a party with no activities and one or two sims to talk to. These are players that are able to throw higher level parties. Higher than birthday

@danielscolbertfamily @rosemow @pepperjax1230 This just came to me. I remember someone posting that they had to move items out of their house to have room for the game to place party activities. This makes sense to me because this happens in the sims 3 seasons. It will probably happen in the sims 4 seasons. Being that these players have such small houses, the game may not let them place the the party activities because they have no room. All the more reason parries should be at a higher levels in the game .

Hello
Some simmer place the party activity items outside their home as they may not have the room indoors to place them.

@rosemow I just started my first birthday party . You have to have enough room to place all the party activities. Why the game should not have parties at lower levels.

It sounds like the lack of room may be why some simmers are unable to place all the party items.
I hope that your party goes well :)

I would like to add a request. Is it possible for EA to give extra stickers just when someone is hosting a party. You run out of stickers hosting a party and still having to attend two parties a day, If the extra stickers is not possible if you host a party it should count as one party for the day

I still feel you should have a leave party option, like ya join the party and right away ya know it's going to flop. This option only being available if you haven't interacted at the party yet... please make this a thing

@VapeeVixen

there are signs if a party may not have enough to do. Parties that show your sims with work or hobby activities , good chance the person throwing the party has a larger house and more activities to interact with. These parties usually level up

If the person who is throwing a party starts the party and does not interact with the party goers, the party may not reach level 10. Party goers and the person throwing the party both need to do their share of interactions to get the party to level up to 10. Some players throw a party, leave the game and rely on only the party goers to level up the party. If I throw a party I always interact with party goers so all my parties level to 10

EA has been having issues with party freezes. They patched the game yesterday. If you have already patched your game and still getting freezes, please report those to the bugs mobile section
