Party disappeared

[Ilois4]

Did you get your host prize later?

I hosted a party yesterday and it got lvl10 in 4 hours or so, nothing mysterious was going on with the party or game. No connection issues or error messages.

Around 4,5 hours from the start I checked when the llama zoom is coming and the party was ok.

So tried to get back to game 20 minutes later to start LZ and the game crashed immediately I got in. After 3 crashes I restarted the device and got back into the game but the party had disappeared. No end message, balloons, prizes or anything.

15 minutes later got a message from friend in insta who was trying to get in to my party saying that her game crashed immediately as she was trying to enter my party. She said that same had happened to her the other day with some other player’s party.

I continued with the LZ tasks and 1,5h after the party disappeared, I was getting back to game and I saw momentarily that my party was still running, the party level was shown on top of the screen, but in 5 seconds the game just crashed and after another crash I restarted my device and the party wasn’t visible when I got back.

So I was a bit hopeful to get the prizes when the party was supposed to end.. but I didn’t get any party ending message after 12 hours of starting the party and no prizes.

Played normally today and 16 hours after the party disappeared I noticed my free sim had that purple party field (with the star progress empty) and the finished party was visible and prizes collectable in the menu, pic attached.

Hoping there will be fix to the parties soon, since there seems to be more of this glitching now after the update.

What an emotional roller coaster this was, since this kind of incident makes me worried of losing my sims & items. 🤯😬

@Ilois4 Did you or your friends see an error message?

@Ilois4 This just happened to me also.
Hosted my weekly party and it reached level 10 within 15 minutes. I put one of the sims to work to finish Llama quests. Took him back home to charge and game just booted me out.

After a few tries, I managed to get in but the party disappeared and now I have a 2day cool down.

Guests can still see the party chat however whicj is really odd.

@SalixCat I didn’t get any error messages. I’ve asked the few guests that I have in my insta if they got the prizes, no answers yet.

@Ilois4 Is this issue similar to what you are experiencing? https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Open-Party-ends-shortly-after-starting-no-error/m-p/9304164#M1...

[Ilois4]

@SalixCat yes, the other report seems the same kind of incident. 

Got some answers from my guests and they got prizes and no errors for those guests

@Ilois4 I've merged your post with the other thread.

Update 2: Restarted phone and Wi-Fi and managed to get in but I’m scared to go home.

I am now unable to get in to the game. I sent one of my sims to do the Home Sweet Home event and the game won’t load since then.

I am thinking this issue is perhaps happening especially when you host scheduled parties where most players try to join at the same time.

I normally don't schedule parties, but host 8 - 9 p.m. UTC +2 any day of the week.
I hosted a party a couple of days ago at an unusual time, something like 9 a.m. UTC +2. It did not crash, but the strange thing that happened was that next day, after collecting rewards, the purple party bubbles reappeared and I had to collect party rewards again.

@SalixCat That is possible. My party didn’t filled up fast though like some other players here. Guests were still coming in after it reached level 10.

I will try hosting at a random time after cool down and see how it goes. Will keep you posted.

For now, I’m using another lot as my sims can’t go to the main home without the game crashing.
