Will real parties ever be possible?
J. M. Pescado:
I think the problem with such a thing is that either nobody touches it, or everyone immediately turns into a lush on sight of such a thing. It'd get quite annoying. Perhaps if there was an addiction token, but then you'd need a ton of other links to drunkenness, and animations, and it'd just be a huge thing. Sim-intoxication is something much more extensive than what is really practical to do. But you're welcome to settle for the half-assed approaches of the non-Awesome, if that's what you wish.
BastDawn:
It wouldn't be too bad as a community lot-only item; that way, you wouldn't have to deal with sims getting drunk at home, they'd do it at the bar and take the taxi home... or drive home drunk... might be interesting if that resulted in the cop showing up to give your sim a hefty fine.
J. M. Pescado:
I'm pretty sure that would make it worse. At least if were home-only, the potential pool would be restricted. As it stands, I do not think letting them get drunk on community lots and start flirting with everything in sight is a good plan.
MutantBunny:
Parties aren't fun. They're work not fun as Maxis made them. Why didn't they make it so they were fun? Stupid Maxis.
Simslice beer 6pack was almost fun: the sim keeps going for a beer until they 'get dizzy' and pass out. The 'dizzy' part tho was awful. The camera was made to spin around the sim and it goeson for ever and it generalluy sucked. I haven't tried the keg but I would guess it works just like the pack.
I haven't tried the MTS2 keg either.
It would be great if the beer made them want to drink (like the simslice beer pack does), not pee too often as that just gets irratating (in real life too!), and made them start flirting and having fun--but the flirting and having fun should be applied as a multiplier to whatever their personaility points are. ie-- a shy sim would get a bit braver and playful, but an outgoing sim would get way brave and wolf whistle at everyone and dance like crazy etc. It would be nice if that multiplier ramdomized now. Grouchy sims could be 'mean drunks' get angry and start fights--but that should be randomized too a bit. Drinking more beers would eventually lead to passing out.
The same type of thing should be used for other parties--like maybe drinking punch at a birthday parties makes the sims more playful. There are lots of good play animations to tap into. Why didn't Maxis DO this??
But, face it: Maxis will NEVER make anything like real parties...
missangelica:
Heck, they turned the original keg they made into a pineapple because before it looked too much like a real keg! EA will never do real parties..
I like the original better. I wonder if it's lurking in the game files somewhere..
