Challenge for June - Housewarming!

[Administrator]

Start Date: 01 June
End Date: Open-Ended

Your Sim couple has started with 20K simoleons. They've bought a house and now it's time to have a housewarming! No more than 5 days in the house before the party.

Without using any cheats, or objects that make the job easier - throw a housewarming party for 10 people. Although you can use the cheat from SimWardrobe that lets you throw Massive Parties!

Goals:

• Every visitor should GET a gift
  
• the party needs to be a roof-raiser!
  
• Food and music needs to be provided
  
• At least one scandalous thing should happen at the party!!
  
• Dancing Men!! It's not a SimPixel party without Dancing men!!
  

Scoring:

No points required. You succeed if you have a good party!

At least 4 pictures of the party would be great! Show us your good time!

Participation Prize Available

This sounds like fun!

I have one question though, how does one get 10 people to come to a party?

[Kiri]

You can change the number of visitors in your startup file. Um... I'll find out where it is.

I only ever had one great party...when the entire backyard of a house went up in flames, two people died and the brides sister was running around in her undies screaming. But I am willing to try again and hopefully this time no one will get killed. lol!

edit: oh yes, is it 20k before or after they buy the house? (meaning is family funds cheat to get it to 20k allowed?)

[Lily]

I have to do this little challenge!
I keep my simmies on a very short leash and that means no parties! (I might have to bend this rule a little bit to be able to participate! )

You could always get the hack at Simwardrobe's site called Throw Massive Parties

Sounds like a fun challenge

[Kiri]

Yup - That'd work - use that Cheat! I'll put it in the rules too!

[Habibet]

Fantastic! Thanks Kiri and CC!

[Jessica]

This sound challenging indeed and very interesting. I'll try it as soon as exams end or when I'm a little less busy. The scandalous thing has to happen autonomously or do we have to direct the sims for it to happen? I'm guessing it would work either way, though.

[Kiri]

Either way Jess, I'm not bothered which

This sounds like fun! I'll do it as soon as I have some time...
I'm currently working on my last assignment before summer

[Habibet]

One more question (can you tell I don't throw many parties?);
How do you give gifts to your guests?

[Kiri]

It really depends on which expansion pack you have.

If you have seasons, you can give gifts. The way to do that is to put the gifts in your inventory, then right-click on your target sim and a you should have an option to give gift.

If you haven't got seasons, you can get the gifts from simwardrobe's site.

[Habibet]

Awesome. Thank You! ^_^

[Felicity]

Kiri, I will have to bypass this first challenge.

I am going away for the last two weeks of this month and wont have my PC with this time.
And I want to use the time to get as many Forum Stories through as possible before I leave.

[Kiri]

That's ok Felicity - there will be plenty more challenges

[Emilie]

I've tried it and it's HARD! I never get 10 guests even though I envite 10, there's always someone who doesn't show up And you have to entertain every guest to be able to get a roof raiser, the time just isn't enough... I'm going to continue trying... Hopefully I'll have some pictures to post soon.

[Kiri]

Post up the failures too Emilie! It will give us an idea of what's happening

Kiri

[Emilie]

I made it! Are we meant to post our entries in a new thread or...? Just want to be sure.

[Kiri]

yeah - in a new thread would be good
