Default University: Sim keeps getting party wishes long after party ends
Hi! I've come across this issue in multiple saves and don't know how to solve it. Basically, if I send my sims to Uni and have them attend a party (via clicking on the invite message that pops up), they will start spamming those "Tell [other sim] to Kiss / Dance With / Makeout with etc. Another Sim". And those wishes don't stop popping up, even long after the party is over and my sim is home. It's gotten to a point where my current sim will spam the wish to tell her partner to kiss another sim...instead of wishing to kiss him herself! Fortunately, it looks like the wish spam doesn't extend to other sims in the households.

I've tried resetting the sim with resetsim, Master Controller's "Reset Sim" option, and DebugEnabler's "Reset" option. Nothing.
I've tried moving the sim out and back in. Nothing.
I've tried running the game without CC and deleting caches. Nothing.
Oh, and I've also checked the sim's status with MC and it doesn't show anything related to a "party situation" (I've seen this on other sims who were attending parties, but that was just parties in the homeworld so they might be different).

Any idea on how to fix this? Has anyone else run into the same?

I don't think that I've ever had that but one other thing to try is to reset the lot where the party happened. There is also an option somewhere in MC to cancel a party when you click on the party house. That's worth a try, too.

The sim has been back from uni for at least a week, but I'll send her back and see if it works. Thanks!

Update: it worked! I clicked on the dorm's icon in Map View and, sure enough, MC gave me the option to "End Party".

To get my sim back home, I had her "drop out of university", even though she already got her diploma. There was no "Return Home" option and when I tried taking her to another world it did nothing and stated that "a trip was already in progress".

Thank you so much! :lovestruc

Edit like a billion years later because I ran into the same issue and forgot I made this thread, lol:

This time I didn't get an "End Party" option when clicking on the lot icon in Map View.
But I DID see this option when clicking on a computer placed in my sim's dorm, which - oddly enough - has never had a party happen on it.

See y'all in a few more years when I need this thread again lmao.

I tried attaching the file to the post but keep getting a 500 error, so here it is: SimFileShare | Mega
It works for patches 1.63 - 1.67 and should work with 1.69 too. Text file included with details.

-----------------------

Oh hey, sorry to necro this thread, but I found a definitive solution to this problem that was still tormenting me in 2021!
After this, I promise to never post in this thread again lol.

The guide is available on Tumblr and my site, but I'll post here too in case someone finds some use for it:

What this tutorial does:
Prevents 3 wishes from appearing — “Tell $Sim to Dance/Joke With/Kiss Someone”, which were apparently introduced in Late Night (EP3).

What hasn’t worked for me:
  • resetsim $Name, resetsim *;
  • Master Controller’s Reset Everything, Reset Sim, End Party (on household and City Hall), Reset Lot (on home lot);
  • DebugEnabler’s Object \ Reset; furthermore, DE didn’t show the sim involved in any active situation (e.g. attending party, playing instrument);
  • moving out and back in;
  • removing mods and CC and deleting .cache files;
  • traveling to another world and coming back — the wishes.

What has worked:
Deleting the references to these 3 wishes in 2 resource files, an XML and a DMTR (what we'll be doing below).

What you’ll need:
  • S3PE;
  • a text editor (Notepad, Wordpad — I personally recommend Notepad++ as it's easier to work with).

How to get rid of the curse!

1. Navigate to your install folder and locate the GameplayData.package file. For me, it’s under D:\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin\Gameplay.

2. Open this file in S3PE and search for these two resources:
Quote:
NAME: DreamsAndPromisesNodes
TYPE: _XML 0x0333406C
INSTANCE: 0x9A976C90ECC75C81

Quote:
​NAME: Parties EP3
TYPE: DMTR 0x0604ABDA
INSTANCE: 0xA503DDE4C671ACE1


You can find them by sorting either by name or instance number. After you found them, extract them without changing their filenames! After this, you can close the GameplayData file.

3. Create a new S3PE project and import the two extracted resources into it, save it (you can give it whatever name you want), then open the DreamsAndPromisesNodes in your text editor. Ctrl-F for the “Tell $Sim” string and you will find three nodes that look like this:

Code:
<Primitives>
<Name>Tell $Sim to Joke with someone</Name>
<Category>Party Updates (EP3) - Misc (EP3)</Category>
<Id>171540818</Id>
<TriggerEvent>kPartyYouShouldJoke</TriggerEvent>
<IsEverVisible>True</IsEverVisible>
<SubjectType>Sim</SubjectType>
<RequiredProductVersions>EP3</RequiredProductVersions>
<FeedbackFunction>SimDescriptionMatchesSubjectFeedbackFunction</FeedbackFunction>
<SecondaryIcon>w_tellsimtojokewithsomeone_s</SecondaryIcon>
</Primitives>

Before deleting them (yes, you heard that right), take note of the part in bold, between the ID tags. Copy/paste the values into another document or write them down, whichever’s more convenient. The three values are:

Quote:
Tell $Sim to Joke with someone: 171540818
Tell $Sim to Dance with someone: 171540819
Tell $Sim to Kiss someone: 171540820


You could probably use these values, but better safe than sorry!

4. You got all that? Good. Now exact revenge by deleting the three nodes that contain those 3 wishes (luckily, they’re all in a row), save your modifications, and open the Parties EP3 DMTR in a text editor like you did with the previous XML.

5. This time, Ctrl-F for each of the ID values you copied in step 3. The nodes they appear in will look like this, with the ID values now between the PrototypeID tags:

Code:
<InstanceNode d2p1:type="DreamNodeInstance" xmlns:d2p1="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<Id>2780330926</Id>
<ParentId>1326419369</ParentId>
<PrototypeId>171540818</PrototypeId>
<Center>
<X>-147</X>
<Y>-1054</Y>
</Center>
<FulfillmentScore>20</FulfillmentScore>
<AgeGroups />
<MoodFlavors />
<Careers />
<Skills />
<Traits />
<Relationships />
<InheritSubject>true</InheritSubject>
<LocalizationKeyDescriptionOverride>
<StringKey />
</LocalizationKeyDescriptionOverride>
<LocalizationKeyGenericOverride>
<StringKey />
</LocalizationKeyGenericOverride>
<LocalizationKeyMaleOverride>
<StringKey />
</LocalizationKeyMaleOverride>
<LocalizationKeyFemaleOverride>
<StringKey />
</LocalizationKeyFemaleOverride>
</InstanceNode>

Unlike the previous nodes, these aren’t in a row, so be careful! Once again, delete the entire thing and save your modifications.

6. And finally, chuck that package into your Mods \ Packages folder. Of course, be mindful of any other mods that use these two resources (a quick way I check is to merge all mods and see which resources get crossed out). I haven’t encountered any issues, after several in-game weeks in the homeworld and traveling between worlds

I would, but I'm still on patch 1.63 and I'm sure my version would create issues for people :D

Unless someone on patch 1.67 is willing to send me a copy of those resources, in which case - sure!

ha, I was just joking really, I fortunately don't actually have this issue. But if you want to add another mod to your collection, here are the resources, don't even need to mention me. I think it would be great for others who might have this issue (or they just don't like party wishes) and aren't experience enough with S3PE to fix it. But don't feel pressured to do it though, as I've said I don't actually need it.

Kudos!

Thanks! I took a look at the resources and they seem to have the same contents, so I went ahead and uploaded the package in the post above

If I remember correctly Chain over at NRass said the only thing that changed with 1.63, 1.67, and 1.69 was the internal build number nothing else changed so it only affected core mods.

That's almost correct. But 1.63 to 1.66 was EA's post-ITF and final substantive round of bug fixes. There was a bit more to it than build number changes.
