'''Prom '''is a feature present in ''[[The Sims 3: Generations]]'' for [[teen|teens]]. A notice pops up a few days before the actual prom so that the player can plan a [[Dating and outings|date]] and/or plan an outfit. The player can ask a Sim to go to the Prom, a sim will ask them or they can go alone.
'''Prom''' is a special event for [[teen]]s to attend at [[school]]. This feature appears in ''[[The Sims 3: Generations]]''. Prom is essentially a series of events inside the school, in which players cannot see what is happening, but only receive [[notification]]s about what happens to their Sims.


Every week, there's a chance that prom will occur on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, as long as there is a teen in the household. After prom occurs, there will be a two-week cooldown until there will be a chance of another event. A notice will pop up on the screen to inform the players to prepare their teens for prom.
During the day of the prom, a notification will pop up notifying you that the dance will be starting at 6 PM and you should begin getting ready. If the Sim does not have a date, the Sim may get a phone call from another teen asking the other to the prom, depending on the relationships of the Sim. Around 5 PM, a [[limousine|limo]] parks in front of the lot awaiting the Sim to attend the prom.


Prior to the event, teens can ask someone to go to prom with them, and that Sim does not necessarily have to be their boyfriend/girlfriend. That Sim might accept or reject, politely or rudely. If the teens haven't found a partner to go to prom with, there's a chance that they will receive a phone call asking them to be partnered with one of their friends. Alternatively, Sims can go alone to prom, but if they do, certain events such as new romance events will not occur during the prom.
Prom participants may be nominated as prom queen/king depending on how many [[friendship|friends]] the teen has. To inform you of your progress towards this goal, through the night the player will receive several notifications about what's happening; such as, "[name of player's Sim] is tearing up the dance floor" or, "...hitting it off with [another sim]". The prom can also involve bad results; such as the Sim getting into a fight, being stood up or being rejected by a crush for a dance.


On the day of prom, the player will be reminded that the prom will start at 6 PM. Teens who are at home around 5 PM will be picked up by a white limo, but they can also go to prom by themselves. Teens will wear formal wear to the prom. Prom will end at 10 PM, during which [[curfew]] will begin. During prom, there are several types of events that can occur to Sims:
Once the prom has ended, the player will get two notifications. One informs the player that the school dance has ended and that the Sim should get home before the Sim's curfew begins. The other informs that the prom picture is in the Sim's personal inventory.
# New romance events
# Going steady events
# First kiss events
# Prom king / prom queen events
# Denied events
# Ditched events
# Fight events
# Various events


The interval between each event is 30 minutes, meaning that there are at least 8 events that can occur during prom. However, some event types may not occur. New romance events will not occur if the Sim already has a romantic interest, including their prom partner. Going steady, first kiss, getting ditched, and denied events will not occur if the Sim doesn't have a partner. By default, various events will happen, if neither of the specific events occurs.
The sim may get a positive moodlet with +50 if he/she had a good time. If they did poorly, it will be -50.


For many event types, there are various factors which can affect the chance of whether they or not they will occur:
Sims enrolled in [[Boarding School|boarding school]] can also attend a prom! They will be sent home automatically in almost 2 hours before the prom starts. In the morning after attending the prom, they should be picked up again by the previous Limo to continue their study in [[boarding school]].
* The chance of new romance, going steady, and first kiss events is higher if the Sim has [[Great Kisser]], [[Flirty]], and [[Charismatic]] traits.
* The chance of going steady events is higher if both Sims' relationships are high.
* The chance of prom king / queen events is higher if the Sim has [[Charismatic]], [[Ambitious]], and [[Friendly]] traits or if the Sim has had dreams about being a prom king / queen, and also depends on how many friends the Sim has.
* The chance of denied and ditched events is higher if the Sim has [[Loser]], [[Unflirty]], and [[Unlucky]] traits.
* The chance of ditched events is lower if both Sims' relationships are high.
* The chance of fight events is higher if the Sim has [[Hot-Headed]], [[Insane (The Sims 3)|Insane]], and [[Mean Spirited]] traits.

The Sims 3: Generations


Prom

Teens attending prom

Prom is a special event for teens to attend at school. This feature appears in The Sims 3: Generations. Prom is essentially a series of events inside the school, in which players cannot see what is happening, but only receive notifications about what happens to their Sims.

Every week, there's a chance that prom will occur on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, as long as there is a teen in the household. After prom occurs, there will be a two-week cooldown until there will be a chance of another event. A notice will pop up on the screen to inform the players to prepare their teens for prom.

Prior to the event, teens can ask someone to go to prom with them, and that Sim does not necessarily have to be their boyfriend/girlfriend. That Sim might accept or reject, politely or rudely. If the teens haven't found a partner to go to prom with, there's a chance that they will receive a phone call asking them to be partnered with one of their friends. Alternatively, Sims can go alone to prom, but if they do, certain events such as new romance events will not occur during the prom.

On the day of prom, the player will be reminded that the prom will start at 6 PM. Teens who are at home around 5 PM will be picked up by a white limo, but they can also go to prom by themselves. Teens will wear formal wear to the prom. Prom will end at 10 PM, during which curfew will begin. During prom, there are several types of events that can occur to Sims:

  1. New romance events
  2. Going steady events
  3. First kiss events
  4. Prom king / prom queen events
  5. Denied events
  6. Ditched events
  7. Fight events
  8. Various events

The interval between each event is 30 minutes, meaning that there are at least 8 events that can occur during prom. However, some event types may not occur. New romance events will not occur if the Sim already has a romantic interest, including their prom partner. Going steady, first kiss, getting ditched, and denied events will not occur if the Sim doesn't have a partner. By default, various events will happen, if neither of the specific events occurs.

For many event types, there are various factors which can affect the chance of whether they or not they will occur:

  • The chance of new romance, going steady, and first kiss events is higher if the Sim has Great Kisser, Flirty, and Charismatic traits.
  • The chance of going steady events is higher if both Sims' relationships are high.
  • The chance of prom king / queen events is higher if the Sim has Charismatic, Ambitious, and Friendly traits or if the Sim has had dreams about being a prom king / queen, and also depends on how many friends the Sim has.
  • The chance of denied and ditched events is higher if the Sim has Loser, Unflirty, and Unlucky traits.
  • The chance of ditched events is lower if both Sims' relationships are high.
  • The chance of fight events is higher if the Sim has Hot-Headed, Insane, and Mean Spirited traits.

When the prom ends, Sims will be notified that the curfew has begun. Each teens in the household will be given a prom picture in their inventory.

Sims enrolled in boarding school can also attend prom. They will be sent home 2 hours before prom starts. In the morning after, they will be picked up again to continue their studies.

Sims will have their picture taken, either with their date or by themselves.

The Sim has chance of being elected Prom Queen or King, and if so, a small prize[which?] will be added to the given Sim's inventory, as well as a moodlet [which?].

  • One of the messages given from a Sim for accepting a prom date is that they think they might be abducted by aliens before it happens. This can be given by anyone, though it will also suit Bella Goth's disappearance in The Sims 2.
  • If the player changes to a different household after being notified about an upcoming prom, the limo will not arrive at the currently active household, but the home where the notice was received. When this happens, the Teens may run to the other house and get into the limo there.
