I can't remember but doesn't TS3 allow us to delay invitations? I don't think we have to go right then do we? I rememer opportunities were like spur of the moment, but I don't recall having to drop every thing to go attend a party or a date etc. In TS2 we got an invitation to go downtown as soon as you installed NL, and we had to drop every thing, but waited for a cab to arrive but you had some time to finish up what you were doing before it arrived. What I don't like about TS4 is having to immediately go through the loading screen, no time to 'spruce up' or gussy up or use the bathroom or whatever.
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.
When you’re invited to a party in Sims 3 you can go whenever you like, as long as you arrive before the party ends. Which makes sense Don’t really know what it’s like when you’re directly invited to go on a date, how patient the other sim will be. But also that makes sense. Having to go there right away in a flash, dropping everything, does not make sense.
Sims 3 party invites have an invite time but its not important. Date invites or being asked to visit is time of invite. Bridgeport without a car is the only world where i have had issues attending on time.

They'll take a taxi if they don't have a car. The system by the way is that some sim calls and asks if you like to visit their party later. You can't go there yet, they'll give you a time when it will start (a couple of hours later). When the party starts, you get a notification. But even then you don't have to go right away.
What really bothers me about this, I mean further on, is how sometimes a townie will be like: "do you wanna hang out tonight?". If you say yes, and it's like 10am, you'll get teleported right there and right now. It just doesn't make any sense.
This really annoys me as well. Sometimes you've just invited someone over, or you're in the middle of doing something else. Maybe you're levelling up a skill you really need, and you're almost there and you get an invite. No point accepting the invite when you're just about to level up, but if you refuse the option it's gone. I think they might have sorted the bug that would invite you to a specific event and then you'd turn up somewhere completely different. I kept getting invites to community lots, and when accepted it took me to a random sims house instead.
Also just recently I had my Sims toddler daughter call him up on the phone (she didn't live with him) to say how pleased she was that he'd made friends with another Sim. How are toddlers using the phone to have such adult conversations?!
I dearly, desperately want this. I've accepted all of one invitation in the last months of gameplay. I remember it because of just how rare it was.

A time delay for invites would be great. I thought this was purposely done to make the game more challenging. My sims are always in the middle of something important when a good invite pops up.
Yes please! I always skip the invites as they somehow never pop up at a convenient time. It's also quite immersion-breaking when someone invites you to a party that takes place in the evening while the invite pops up during the daytime and the game makes you go instantly :/
