I know there are mods for at least the latter one, but I cant for the life of me find it.

Also the prior one, if that exists, that too could be very useful

Put this in your userstartup with out the quotes "intProp maxNumOfVisitingSims 30" now you can invite up to 30 Sims.

As for a party I not for sure but it could be hard coded to only allow 8 in the party invite but you still can invite more after you invite the party members.

See answer below.

Both mods are at sims wardrobe under sims 2 fixes.

Thanks katreina I off to snag both for my game. I will also be testing them out in the Stories games to.

You're welcome

I get the same results with just the userStartup.cheat file. I have the following two lines:

intProp maxNumOfVisitingSims 20
uintProp maxTotalSims 30

I pretty much always have 20 invites available.

I downloaded the two mods. The less messing around with game files for me, the better. :P


Thanks to you all anyway!

No worries. But I do strongly suggest getting a userStartup.cheat file. They are convenient. In mine, I have:

alias tc "boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true" "testing cheats on" "testing cheats on"
alias td "boolProp testingCheatsEnabled false" "testing cheats off" "testing cheats off"

alias dormBuy "boolProp dormSpecificToolsDisabled false" "full build/buy access in dorms" "full build/buy access in dorms"
alias aptBuy "boolProp aptBaseSpecificToolsDisabled false" "full build/buy access in apartments" "full build/buy access in apartments"

alias lotRes "changeLotZoning residential" "change to residential" "change to residentail"
alias lotCom "changeLotZoning community" "change to community" "change to community"
alias lotDorm "changeLotZoning dorm" "change to dorm" "change to dorm"
alias lotApt "changeLotZoning apartmentbase" "change to apartment" "change to apartment"

So all I have to do is type "tc" in the cheat window to turn the testing cheats on, and "td" to turn them off. Such a time (and typo) saver.

I will also highly recommend a cheat file. It's one of those things that you will find yourself using constantly and it makes simming about 100 times easier. Say I want a chair on an angle, I just click the >< keys. If I want move objects on I just type mon. It's just a notepad file that you drop into a folder. I can copy and paste mine here if you like. It isn't game files, it's the config folder right next to your Download folder so it's no different then dropping a mod in.

The only thing I have in my cheat file is the pets cheats and it's still really useful.

This is so useful!

alias removepaint "boolProp lotTerrainPaints false"
alias showpaint ""boolProp lotTerrainPaints true"
alias tvol "floatProp tvVolume"

I don't know how id make all those work :/
Some ive figured, but others... less so. Ive also got Showme2 installed, which explains the top two. :P

For the alias items, the syntax is something like this:

alias whatYouWantToType "theCheatCodeToType true" "description1" "description2"

I don't know the difference myself between description1 and description2, or why you need both. But at least one of them is what "help" will display. So one example is:

alias tc "boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true" "testing cheats on" "testing cheats on"

If I type "help" in the cheat window, one of the descriptions will say:

TSCheatSystem: tc : testing cheats on

You can also put notes in your file by using a # symbol. Anything after the # will be commented out. Hope this helps! I'm sure others can give more info.
