==The Sims==
Even though [[Sim]]s could throw parties in ''[[The Sims]]'' and ''[[The Sims: Livin' Large]]'', it was only when ''[[The Sims: House Party]]'' appeared that Sims could throw huge parties, with many party-related items being included in that [[expansion pack]]. Throwing parties allows Sims to interact with neighbors they never knew they had.
It's possible to increase the size of a party by using the "Throw Party" action more than once, and it's generally up to the player to keep it within his/her computer's limits. When using the "Throw Party" option on a phone, the player has no control over who is invited. However, another feature of ''House Party'' is that any sufficiently large gathering on a residential lot is considered to be a party. Therefore, a Sim could throw a party by inviting a sufficient number of other Sims to come over.

==The Sims 3==
[[File:Bachelorette party.jpg|thumb|Sims having fun at a bachelorette party.]]
The party system in ''[[The Sims 3]]'' is more advanced than in previous games in the series. Party is the main element of Sims with [[party animal]] trait. Sims can invite up to 12 Sims to the party, but sometimes the guests may invite their household members too. The party guests may or may not bring along a food platter when they arrive. If the host of the party is a party animal, the chance guests will bring food is increased by 25%.
With the game being expanded to an open world, inactive households may also throw a party. Depending of the relationship, the host may invite an Sim from the active household to come. The invitation is received through a [[phone]] call, with the prompt asking the player whether their Sim will be attending it at the noticed time. Sims that hadn't been invited can be directed to crash the party. The house where the party occurs has a map tag of a purple icon with balloons and confetti on it.
Unlike ''The Sims 2'', parties in ''The Sims 3'' don't have a meter or moniker that displays whether the guests are having fun or not. Instead, the party will be evaluated once the guests are leaving the party one by one. Sims will then receive a moodlet depending on how well the party was going. However, having a bad bachelor/bachelorette party will give a worse moodlet.{{Vgversion|TS3:G}} Also, unlike ''The Sims 2'', guests will actually leave when they are scheduled to do something, such as go to work. So, try throwing parties on weekends, when most Sims have the day off, or later in the evening.

The invite guest interface for planning a party has been revamped. In the left table, the player can choose what kind of party to throw, when it will start, as well as the party attire. Players can set the party to start at time between 8 AM and 10 PM, though the start time has to be at least 1 hour later than the time the party is being planned.
The party attire depends on what kind of party is being held. Generally, Sims can set casual attire for most parties. Other than casual attire, formal and swimsuit attire can also be selected. When throwing a slumber party, sleepwear is the only
The middle table of the interface is the list of all the household's relationships. If Sims are unavailable to be invited, they will be grayed out. Players can filter the type of Sims to be invited: all, friends, or coworkers. Sims can also sort the list by the name or the relationship, but they will all be mixed with other household members' friends. The right table of the interface is the list of invited Sims.
Line 83 ⟶ 85:

Teens can break up the party, but if the party wasn't fun, the guests might say that the party was lame. If all guests clear the lot before the police can arrive, the police will simply ask the teen to keep it down because of a complaint before leaving.
