I would like to see more social planning events

I love the fact that we have pools but there isn't a Pool Party event.
I like that I don't have to Host Prestige Social Event because not all events need a list of things to do. Some just need to add fun to the game.
Pool Party
Baby Shower
Bring back Bachelor and Bachelorette Party
Retirement Party
These events are currently in the game so it's a programming thing. I hope with Sims Get Together there will be more events added to the game.

> TamiraArg, Great minds think alike. What do you mean by "control the organization."
It's more detailed in the thread: forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/856513/create-an-event but I'll try to summarize.
Current event organizing lets you:
* Select host
* Invite guests
* Select location
* Select Caterer/Entertainer/Mixologist (Optional or Required depending on the event type)
Depending on the event type, the game would assign a dress code and preset goals. What I want is for us to be able to control this as well and name the event. It's obvious there is a pool of "goals" the party event and other social events draw from, we can maybe have a new screen with a drop down list and be required to select at least 10 of these goals. Be able to select the dress code. Then bam, a custom party without begging Maxis for an expansion for every single little party event idea we have. The current pre-made ones are good in that we get unique prizes from them, but sometimes I want a certain type of party for my story. Sometimes the preset goals are inappropriate for what I want out of a party too, like I don't want my sims all flirty and kissing each other during a family dinner party!
So for your pool party you can select the swimsuit dress code, have goals like drinking, using the grill, etc without maxis putting out an expansion just for it.
valhallarie, I've been playing the social events without the list of goals.
> Oh but then you'd get gold all the time! You can just host the one that doesn't have achievements/goals... But I think having pool parties and bachelor parties and things would be amazing. I do agree that kissing is sometimes outta left field but it does tend to make things progress more than grillin'! :3
True, but I was thinking you won't get great rewards for these. What I'm looking for mostly is the moodlet of how well a party turned out. I might play scenarios where I deliberately fail a party or sometimes it might fail by accident because I don't control my sims 100% of the time. I've had parties where fire broke out when the kids were by themselves playing on the chem set. And it seems a sim dies one out of three parties one of my sims always throw (he's not even evil!).
I believe you can renew vows now with the Wedding Arch, so you could throw a house party and have that as an activity.
I would like if we could see a list of all the sims the household knows (like TS3) to chose from when sending invites and not just the one hosting the party know
EDIT: Do I even English?

I totally agree. I hate being limited to the list of friend of one family member even when there are two host for the event.

Yes this! It is especially annoying when you are throwing a birthday party for your kid or other kids party, but you can't invite their friends because you don't hang out with your kid's friends enough and the relationship decayed too much)
I'd love to see these as well as anniversary parties, funerals, graduation and prom parties.
