Housewarming challenge

[andavri]

I failed, not completely miserably as I had feared for a little while. But I did fail.

Oh before we get into the pictures, I will confess, while it was a starter home to start with, I did use a lot of dreamcatchers to decorate the place. It's not exactly cheating, but it is slightly dodgy.

And the first two pictures aren't actually from this version of the party, Eeyore stepped on my powerstrip. So my computer shut down, and I found that after I got out that even though I gave out the gifts to everyone I was missing the pictures to giving them out to a couple of people. But I had those others from the previous go through.


So, here we have the hostess of the party, Adelaide Detroit, fans of a certain genre of performance art will probably recognize the names of these sims. (The actual sims themselves were randomly generated in CAS and tweaked by me.) Anyway, Adelaide giving a gift to Benny.


And Adelaide giving a gift to Angie.


And Adelaide giving a gift to Julie.


Adelaide's husband Nathan giving a gift to Rusty.


Nathan giving a gift to Sarah.


Adelaide giving a gift to Joey. (And a lovely shot of Julie scratching her pit in the background)


Nathan giving a gift to Matilda.


Nathan giving a gift to Mimi.


Nathan giving a gift to Sky.


And last gift picture. Nathan giving a gift to Arvide.


Trying out the fireworks that came with Celebrations that I sadly have thrown so few parties I've had the stuff pack for months and never used.


Nathan and Adelaide slow dancing I've never seen someone get twirled before... And I use that interaction a lot!


People getting down. See dancing Guys. (And bad pun, if you recognize the names, you probably get why it's a pun--and capitalized as well)


Good time is all.

So, let's see:
Gifts: Check
Food & Music: Check (There was a buffet on the patio and stereo was on)
Dancing Men: Check
Roof-Raiser: No check.
Only good time.
Scandalous thing happen: No check.
The most scandalous thing to happen was the creepy werewolf in most of the pictures and to guest bathroom toilet backed up.

I suck. I mean seriously. My game is totally boring. Not one person slapped, cheated on, no one got naked, the cops didn't come. And I don't think I'll be trying this again. Way too much to focus on.

Not to mention making all those friends in five days to get them all to show up. >_<'

Steph, you did well.

I mean a good time is better than a failed party, which is what I would get!

By the way, I love your pics and the clothes all the ladies are wearing is gorgeous!

Felicity

[Jessica]

Well done! Using the fireworks was a good idea, I thought about it as well but ended up not doing it after all.

I agree with Felicity, all your sims are gorgeous and impeccably well dressed and groomed.

[Theachen7]

Your sims look good! I love the dress Adelaide is wearing

[CountessCrazy]

You have very well dressed sims!
It is a long time to wait, 5 whole days, just to find out the party is only a good time. Scandal won't happen on its own unless you have ACR maybe.

You pretty much just summed up my feelings on trying this challenge again exactly.

You still made a good attempt though. A "Good Time" still isn't bad.

[Jenni Rose]

You did so much better than I ever would. I can't even get a party Good Time.

Where did you get Adalaide and Sarah's dresses from?

[andavri]

Thanks, guys!

It is disappointing for me, because I have never had a party, granted I don't throw many, but I haven't had a party since Nightlife came out that wasn't a roof raiser. I just always manage to get it to pop and I was working on that good time score for almost three hours and couldn't get it to roof raiser.

I think the biggest thing about having a party that size was I couldn't focus on anything. And I lost the first couple of hours to not being able to have my hosts socialize because of the gift giving. Also, the house wasn't really big enough to keep an eye on things as it was a fully furnished starter before I started decorating.

All of the clothing (Male and Female) that wasn't Maxis came from All About Style in the Twenties theme, Jenni.

Everyone looks so good! And you did a good job. Roof raisers are so hard.
