Posted by SteveB on Jan 15, 2009• TS3 Creator's Camp: Day 3, 17:15

Just time to throw something completely new into the mix!

The Sims 3 has a Party Planner for your Sims! When a Sim uses a phone to throw a party the Party Planner screen pops up. Here you can choose which kind of party it should be (currently just House Party or Birthday Party), the day and time the party should start and the dress code. You can opt to have all your sims arrive in casual clothing, formalwear or swimwear. Then you just add the friends you want to attend in the invite list.

Of course not all guests will turn up but later in the game you can acquire the status of "Legendary Host", guaranteeing that all of your invites will be gratefully accepted with attendance guaranteed.

Party on!

That's pretty cool! Of course in TS2 we just had to hit "Throw Party" and hope for the best! LOL. Also, I put this in an earlier message, but since it's sorta outdated and was sorta far down the line...Is TS3 going to be available on Steam? If so, when? Thank you for everything! Also, sorry to bug you with my Q/A requests,

Just out of curiosity........how much can you make a TS3 Sim look like a TS2 Sim?   I like a lot of the THINGS you can do.......but I don't like the way they look.   When I saw TS2 Sims while playing TS1 I was very excited.......not so much this time around.

Oh this is sweet! I wonder if that mean we at some point will be able to host costume parties, now that we have dress codes - untill then PJ-parties will do the trick for me

Cool! I never throw parties in The Sims 2, but I will most certainly do so in TS3. The new party features sound great!

This is great info, thanks very much..I wonder if  could ask you something

My concern at the moment is that we can't seem to upload our own seamless patterns to use within the clothes editors and furniture creators etc...from the info already I'm not 100% sure if it's possible to make your own texture in photoshop say, and then import it to your game ...I dont like the idea of only having the EA textures provided to use..even if they are very versatile . Also things like make up, I get that you use a colour picker etc to change it now but I would still like to make my own maybe greyscale versions (if thats how it would be done) to import into game and tint. It's a bit confusing at moment
Creating textures is one of the things I like best about Sims 2 so Im afraid I might be disappointed with Sims3 if we can only create within the game itself...nice to have the option you know...plus (being more of a pain sorry) can you hold babies sitting down or not?
Thanks for all the fab news
Cheers Neen

I have some wishes. With all the mountains in the game why not have some with snow on them, a Santa village where our sims could go and spend the night, have Christmas, go on slay rides with reindeer, make snow angels and not freeze. And how about a ski resort. With a ski lift. The sims could learn how to sky or go snowboarding. .........And some wildlife.....A working farm with animals. Horse drawn wagons. Chickens that lay eggs. And for my sister that has cancer and lives for sims- A washer and dryer, A clothes line, A stroller and buggy for the little ones to be taken for a walk. And please keep the changing table.

Things I forgot, A state fair or amusement park. More toys for the little ones. A pre teen in the life span. Longer days and nights so we have more time for all the fun stuff that's been added to Ts3. And I'm a big Charmed fan so please add the witches. And as a reward  immorality. Clothes and hair from different era's 1700's, 1800's, 1920's my favorite, 1950's I also love, 1970's for my hippies. Real eyes. Stores to shop in. I would also like to pre make some of my children as well as adopted ones, and be able to add them one or more at a time with mom and dad later in the game. This would be great for those of us that make real life families. I would also like to see OFB and Freetime for TS3.
