Learn how to throw different parties like weddings and birthdays in The Sims 3, and understand the role of NPCs like babysitters and burglars.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    When throwing a party, you can choose your house or hire a community lot for a small fee.
  2. 2
    Set a dress code (formal or casual) and a start time, ensuring it is at least 2 hours after the current time.
  3. 3
    Select the type of party: House Party, Funeral, Wedding, Birthday, or Campaign Fundraiser.
  4. 4
    For a Birthday party, you can purchase a birthday cake.
  5. 5
    For a Campaign Fundraiser, the party's success influences the donations received.
  6. 6
    To increase the chances of guests attending, maintain a good long-term relationship with them.
  7. 7
    Ensure there is plenty of social interaction among guests for a successful party.
Tips
  • Reading pregnancy books can increase the chance of positive traits for your baby.
  • Listening to children's music or watching children's TV can increase the chance of twins or triplets.
  • Eating 3 apples during pregnancy increases the chance of having a boy.
  • Eating 3 watermelons during pregnancy increases the chance of having a girl.
  • A babysitter (a controllable Non-Player Character, or NPC (non-player character — anyone the game controls, not you)) costs §75 per visit to look after children. If children are left alone for too long, a social worker will take them.
  • A burglar may attempt to steal expensive items at night. You can call the police, fight them yourself (if you have the Brave trait or are a police officer and have a high athletic skill), or install a burglar alarm to automatically call the police.
