Can not throw a party and am level 40

If the above works, do say as I’d given up playing as I don’t want to start over, had retired a sim, opened a trait, still couldn’t throw and I’ve only two more chances/traits left

Well I wasn’t completely sure what the instructions were above, but I did go in and open up build mode then clicked on the balloons to see the party items and everything was greyed out because of course I wasn’t hosting a party. I then checked and I still couldn’t throw a party. This morning I got onto that same account, but using another device, it was time to pick another trait which I did and after that, bam I had the option to host a birthday party (my first ever party on this account). So to be honest, I don’t know what got it to work unfortunately, but now it’s good 😊

Glad it’s working for you now :-) out of interest the device you had started your account and usually played on, was it an apple device? Only I’m switching from apple back to android in september and hope it’ll work then I’m currently using an iphone 7 plus. Thanks for the feedback and happy simming!

I use mine on both.  I have party issue because apparently EA doesn’t want you to be attached to your day 1 sim so I am stuck at zero parties at level 40 so I opened a BBB complaint cause we shouldn’t need to kick a sim out weekly to have a party for our friends and it is justified by laws against app developers.  Hopefully soon we won’t need to kick sims out to throw a party. 1 sim gifted to me so never kicking her out either.

1. That’s terrible! Is that really what they’re doing? Well then I’ll not be able to throw a party either as my daughter created the main character, she has autism that character goes nowhere she’d go ballistic! I’m really shocked they’d do that, very unfair

[Arylon82]

100% agree with you and I have brought it to an specialists attention at EA on one of my support emails because it is a shame where they are heading.

[s_jane84]

You’re completely right, hopefully some day not too far off they’ll change it

Actually no both of my devices are Android tablets that I use for this account, sorry I'm not much help but I do hope they fix this problem for everyone! ;-)

Thanks I am still dealing with no Apple app update for a week now yet EA said nothing they can do yet if they look like Apple did, it was revoked and needs to be resubmitted for the Canadian Store!! 🤷‍♀️🤔🤬

Have you ever retired a Sim @Arylon82? What update are you currently on?
