I wish that all household friends would appear in the party invite dialog. At least the teleporter works.

It'd also be fun if Sims invited to party could ask to bring other friends too.

Regarding parties and friends...I wish there was a mod that would spawn/show sims with their true friends, not generated. Let me explain. Say...Nina Caliente is friend with Samantha Ottomas...and your created/customized sims get invitation from Nina to go to a party...the game should show Nina Caliente along with Samantha Ottomas. Because they are friends, not generate/spawn random townies (once playable sims form friendship).

Increase your intprop maxnumofvisitingsims to invite more sims- but bear in mind that this also affects the number of sims that show up on community lots, and the number of Secret Society members. So you might want to set it back to normal after your huge party!

I had a massive party at the Mayor's house and did the autoteleport-there were over 30 active pixels on the lot at any time and boy, did that thing drag!

It was a great party, but there is a cost to the game for having more than the built in number.

@Bulbizarre, I would use Simwardrobe's - Throw Massive Parties (the Pets-Seasons version works for AL): "This fix will increase the number of people that you can invite to parties. Up to 255 sims can be invited to a party, regardless of your system specs." All the household's friends should show up with that.

And Lena88, I think the game does this with outings at least. When you get invited Downtown, if the sim doing the inviting has a bunch of friends, they will get added to the group for the outing. It's when the sim has no friends that random people and kids get added to the group. IIRC, this happens most often when downtownies give the invitation, especially if the hood is new, as they haven't had time to make many friends yet and the game pulls sims with the highest relationship to the inviter.

And as for when your sim goes out and who sits together at a restaurant, well, simler90 has a mod for that, Dining Group Mod and it looks like jonasn's Dining Form Party With Anyone addresses this too.

Haven't seen a mod that let's party guests bring a friend--that'd be cool especially if it was a dialog option that lets users select no. Sometimes my sims' parties have a lot of guests already, but it would be cool for sims looking to make new friends or meet new people.

How did I miss that? That sounds really helpful! It's all by invite, right? You don't get stuck with 255 sims showing up when you only wanted 15? I've gotta go track down that mod. That sounds really perfect. I don't want my Secret Society to be 40 people, but also, the Broke Family Reunions are too big for regular party size restrictions! haha

I could've sworn that I've seen a dialogue box asking if an invited guest can bring a friend... Doesn't that exist? ...Or is it just not for parties? Cuz i'm certain i've seen sims invite other sims over and they've asked, can I bring a friend along? I almost always say yes, cuz... why not? Unless it's a romance sim hoping to score.

Not what I meant - if you have a Sim call to throw a party, only their friends appear. Since kids can't throw their own birthday parties, you can't invite their friends over unless the parents are also friends.

Is there a hack anywhere that makes it possible to repair corner sprinklers? If you place them in the corners of the greenhouse the way you're intended to, there isn't enough space to repair them. It's irritating to have to sell and replace them every time they break.

I know this idea may sound weird, impossible...what do you think about mod that makes sims being able to act as cooking/food judge? I mean interaction/animation, not to make NPC food judge selectable.

Not that I know of, but here's a link to 'Sprinklers Don't Break' if it would be helpful. http://www.simfileshare.net/download/4514308/

That actually sounds cool! I have some Sims that would enjoy that job.

You could just grab 'em and move 'em to a tile that's accessible, have your sim repair them, and then put them back where you wanted them. I don't think you're necessarily intended to put them in the corners. But i suppose that's open to interpretation and personal preference. however, a hack that makes that unnecessary, like the ability to trim bushes that the game decides aren't accessible would be ideal.

Learning gestures can be SO HARD, especially if you're travelling with more than one Sim and want them all to learn it.
I think a mod that would allow Sims to "Ask..." Natives to do the gesture would be very useful, but not too cheaty.

P.S: If someone does end up turning this into a mod, please send it here so I can be sure of its existence!

Probably silly thing...but what about a mod that allowes sims to use COMMUNITY LOT PHONE to call other sims. What do you think?

Because pixels have their own phones, it's really not necessary. Half the time my pixels will start calling their friends while watching the kids at the playground. Good time to catch up with old friends.

https://modthesims.info/d/293793/ea...multiphone.html has a payphone version. I like to stick it on community lots for the Sims who don't have cellphones.

Though I once had ACR kick in on an owned business lot and the owner use the Maxis phonebooth to booty-call his boyfriend, lmao.

I wish Sims could bake birthday and wedding cakes themselves. Wouldn't it be so sweet to have a Sim with high cooking skill bake a cake for their children's or grandchildren's birthday party? Or go to the local playable-owned bakery to buy a wedding cake? I know they can technically sell the catalog-bought cake but it's not as fun or challenging

The "ultra clean" option is only available to very neat Sims. It'd be neat (heh) to have it available to Sims with 10 cleaning points.
