I love it when my sim get an invitation to dinner, for a party, etc... but why can't we delay it ? I mean, all the time, there is something my sim should do before leaving the house : toilet, shower, change clothes, eat a snack...
I decline almost all invitation because I can't just let go my sim somewhere else in the state she if at the moment. Why is it still working like this when a lot of people complained about this ?

I really feel they do it to annoy us! I get them just as my Sim is just completing a skill level or sleep is in the red.
Yup ! It's so oblivious (well for me) that we should have this option, it's driving me crazy ! If we could have the following options : Yes, No, Later (with a menu where we could choose a time that whould be limited depending of the invitation type).

Like, "Hey, wanna get together tonight for a party?" at 3PM.
Select "Ok" and off you go! "Tonight" is suddenly "right now".
Not as good as actually having the time to get ready--I'm behind that 100%--but better than never going to anything.
Getting more time could also be one of three options:
1) Sure, let's go right away.
2) Can you give me an hour to get ready? (Maybe on occasion the other Sim says no can do and see you next time...like if it's a celebrity sighting or something else that might not reasonably still be there in an hour.)
3) No, thanks.
My guess is that the invite is a hint that the relationship with the calling-sim needs some attention, so I try to make sure my sim initiates contact later, at a time that's convenient for me.

Sims 3 was similar to Sims 2, you had a reasonable amount of time to reach the destination. You had time to use the bathroom etc but if you took to long the other Sim would get impatient.
Thank you, it's been a few years since I had a Sim go on a date or anywhere with another Sim in TS3.
A few minutes maybe to decide a new outfit to wear out. But the worst ones are the ones that came at 3:00 A.M. when my Sims are sleeping (some of them) lol.
Amen to that.
Same with visiting you (either called in or by surprise) at weird times: shortly before going to work or late in the evening (since visitors remain for ~4 hours, I decline anything that comes past ~6:30 PM). I haven't seen an NPC sim invite mine for a date in a while but, when it did the last time, it was around 3:30 AM. Yet, when you call someone at 6:50, they're like "you mad? I sleep".
I also like wandering the hills.
And when they say "let's meet this evening", it should actually have you meet in the evening not right now when it's still 11:00 AM!
