Be careful who you invite, I suggest three neutral guests.
Do the cake/wedding thing early.
Use the aspiration eyeglasses to boost a few relationships.
Have food, but don't worry too much about it. A gelatin dessert will do fine.
Send any bad apples home, you can invite another over to compensate.
Keep the traffic in the bathrooms flowing, I suggest using arches instead of doors.
Keep it social with a hot tub.
Avoid: fights, ghost scares, bladder failures, rejected interactions, host going to bed during party

I don't send anyone to college anymore. Got sick of the thousands of sims in their address books, perma-platinum and top of career before they're even 1 adult day old. And seriously, if I hear Baddeboodebop from that cheerleader one more time!

I've started using Call Over but if your sim is close to the stairs he may autonomously decide to be the leader in the stairgame. In hindsight I should really try to have all the interesting objects on the same floor. Or have a magnet by the front door. That stupid bingo game and the swing are great magnets.

Here's what makes me pull my hair out. I send my sim to interact with a visitor. Meanwhile the visitor has decided to go up the stairs. By the time my sim is upstairs, the command has disappeared and needs to be given again. Meanwhile the visitor has decided to go down the stairs. Repeat. Works very well with the nanny.

"3 Bedroom Victorian"
Very creative street name! Haha! Don't feel bad. I made a neighborhood called Seabreeze and wanted to name all my streets after ocean..um stuff, realized later after naming a whole street full of houses that Shallot is the onion, not the mollusk. |

Ghosts suck. I had 24 ghosts in my legacy house. Some were really mean and others where helpful, but they all scared the crap out of my family. Their targeting preference seem to be (pure superstition on my part I'm sure):
1. pregnant sim
2. child
3. teen
4. visiting sims (especially at parties)
5. elder sim
6. adult sim
100. any age sim with Knowledge aspiration
They especially like teaming up and scaring the same sim twice. I did notice that previous family members were a lot more vengeful than say, innocent townies who happened to die on the lot. (I might just add that I specifically never deleted beds, instead had a warehouse stacked with haunted ones.)

I'm playing a hobo-variant.  Unofficial Hobo Variant: A phone-booth is the only structure on the lot, a 1x1 room with a phone, archway, windows on two sides and a decoration on the back. No plumbing. No food or drink. No bed. No electronics (other than battery powered). No bookcases, telescopes or chess sets. No stealing food (at least not when eating garbage is a reasonable alternative). No working or going to school. Think unemployed and illiterate. No dates. Anything goes on community lots as per ethiopian rules, altough skilling, earning money and paying for stuff is forbidden. It's basically Ethiopian + email + other nasty restrictions  . Except with a concession allowing the phone booth and street light (walls are illegal for email, phone & light are illegal in Ethiopian, but they are intended to be "lot fixtures" rather than property of the hobos, modifying them in any way would be a breach of hobo-variant rules). You know Grater, you can just put a sim on an empty lot and don't buy anything at all ever. Sounds fun? |

And you may shake so uncontrollably that you can't manage to put the ring on your bride's finger.
When Uni came out I practically had my sims live on the community lot. As long as they had expresso (sp?) they could go on forever. I did notice that after NL it's a little harder to get them all boosted up with caffeine.

I wonder if the star sign attaction part is stronger than any of the other ones. That may be why we see sims with only one bolt or even a crossed out bolt obsessing over each other. Or they're just weird. (You make me gag! Want to date?)
