==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.
Line 84 ⟶ 86:
* '''Birthday Party''' - The party when a Sim is about to age up. Sims can throw this party anytime, regardless of Sims' age.
* '''Bachelor/Bachelorette Party'''{{vgversion|TS3:G}} - [[Engaged]] Sims can throw a bachelor(ette) party. Only young adults and older may be invited in the party, and the only available attire is "Dress to Impress". Players can throw this party at a venue. In this party, [[entertainer]]s will appear depending on the sexual orientation of the host. The host can ask one of the guests to spray nectar or give toast to others. If the host gets a lame bachelor(ette) party, they will get "Groomzilla" or "Bridal Monster" moodlet.
* '''[[Wedding|Wedding Party]]''' - When two Sims get engaged, they can throw a wedding party to get married. If the couple don't get married, they will get the "Missed the Wedding" moodlet. Parents of the couple who are invited will get a special moodlet as well. In ''[[The Sims 3: Generations]]'', wedding arches and wedding cake is also featured to make a better wedding party. Sims can also throw a wedding party in a venue.
* '''Funeral''' - Players can give a funeral party after a close Sim relative has died.
* '''Campaign Fundraiser''' - This is only available to Sims with [[Political]] careers when they become City Council Members. Guests at these events will give the host campaign funding based on how well they enjoy themselves. However, depending on the host's friendship with the guest, the politician can also ask for Campaign Donations during the party.
* '''Teen House Party'''{{vgversion|TS3:G}} - This is only available to a teenager whose household has taken the "Free Vacation" opportunity. Only teens may be invited to this party. They can throw this party from 5 PM to 11 PM. If the party gets noisy or distracts the neighbors, they might call the [[police]] and the parents will get home early. 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.
* '''Slumber Party'''
* '''Feast Party'''{{vgversion|TS3:S}} - This party suits in [[spring]]. Sims will come over and bring their meals and will have a feast together.
* '''Pool Party'''{{vgversion|TS3:S}} - This party suits in [[summer]]. Sims can throw this party if they have a swimming pool at their home. Sims will come and swim in the pool and can have a barbecue.
