'''Prom''' is a special event for [[teen]]s to attend at the [[school]]. This feature appears in ''[[The Sims 3: Generations]]''. Prom is essentially a series of events inside the school, which players are only informed about what happened with their Sims with notifications, and players cannot see what's happening inside. Every day, there's a chance that a prom will occur on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. After a prom occurs, it takes two-week long cooldown until there will be another prom event. A notice will pop up on the screen to inform the players to prepare their teens for the prom. The prom event may only occur if there's a teen in the household.
'''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|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.


Prior to the event, teens can ask someone to go to the prom with them, who is not necessarily their boy/girlfriend. They might accept or reject, politely or rudely. If the teens haven't had 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 the prom, but certain events like new romance events will not occur during the 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.


On the day of the prom, the players will be reminded that the prom will start at 6 PM. Teens will be picked up by a white limo if they're at home around 5 PM, but they can also go to the prom by themselves. Teens will wear formal wear to the prom. The prom will end at 10 PM, during which the [[curfew]] will begin. During the prom, there are several event types that can occur to Sims:
Prom participants may be nominated as prom queen/king. 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", "[name of player's Sim] was talking to her friends and [another sim] creeped up behind her and snuck in their first kiss!" 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.
#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 there's at least 8 events that can occur during the prom. Some event types may not occur though. New romance events will not occur if the Sim already has a romantic interest, including their prom partner. Going steady, first kiss, 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.
Prom may also cause changes in relationships. If a Sim is going with another who is above friend level with, and they have been flirting, there might pop up a message asking whether the Sim wants to go steady with him/her.


Each event type, with the exception of various events type, has weight chance whether they will occur or not:
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.
*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, if the Sim has dreamed about being a prom king / queen, and 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 begins. Each teens in the household will be given a prom picture in their [[inventory]].
The sim may get a positive moodlet with +50 if he/she had a good time. If they did poorly, it will be -50.


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]].

Teens attending prom

Prom is a special event for teens to attend at the school. This feature appears in The Sims 3: Generations. Prom is essentially a series of events inside the school, which players are only informed about what happened with their Sims with notifications, and players cannot see what's happening inside. Every day, there's a chance that a prom will occur on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. After a prom occurs, it takes two-week long cooldown until there will be another prom event. A notice will pop up on the screen to inform the players to prepare their teens for the prom. The prom event may only occur if there's a teen in the household.

Prior to the event, teens can ask someone to go to the prom with them, who is not necessarily their boy/girlfriend. They might accept or reject, politely or rudely. If the teens haven't had 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 the prom, but certain events like new romance events will not occur during the prom.

On the day of the prom, the players will be reminded that the prom will start at 6 PM. Teens will be picked up by a white limo if they're at home around 5 PM, but they can also go to the prom by themselves. Teens will wear formal wear to the prom. The prom will end at 10 PM, during which the curfew will begin. During the prom, there are several event types 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 there's at least 8 events that can occur during the prom. Some event types may not occur though. New romance events will not occur if the Sim already has a romantic interest, including their prom partner. Going steady, first kiss, 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.

Each event type, with the exception of various events type, has weight chance whether they will occur or not:

  • 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, if the Sim has dreamed about being a prom king / queen, and 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 begins. Each teens in the household will be given a prom picture in their inventory.

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

Trivia

  • The music that plays inside the prom is The Royal Academy Dance from MySims Kingdom.
  • One of the excuse if a Sim rejects as a prom date is that they thought they might be abducted by aliens. This excuse can be given by anyone, though it will suit Bella Goth's disappearance as well in The Sims 2.
