Out of many Social Events in the Sims 4, throwing a perfect Birthday Party is one of them. Moreover, this is the time of the year when your Birthday Sim ages up. Similar to that in real life, you will have to plan stuff before throwing a Party. So, how would you actually do it? Here’s everything you should know about it.
How to Plan a Birthday Party in the Sims 4?
Much like other Social Events, a Birthday Party is also a Goaled Event. Hence, there are goals for you to complete after which you can earn Medals. Earning medals while throwing a Birthday Party will reward you with a unique item in the Sims 4. That being said, here’s how you can prepare for a Birthday Party:
- First up, head over to your Phone > Social tab > Plan a Social Event.
- Further, select the Birthday Part to get started. It will cost you 100 Simoleons, so make sure you have enough funds for it.
- Now, there are several things to do here which include the following things:
- Select a Birthday Sim
- Choose Guests to invite to the Birthday Party (Minimum 2 and Maximum 20 Guests are allowed).
- Hire a Caterer Sim for preparing meals.
- Hire a Mixologist Sim in case a guest would like a few drinks.
- Hire a Sim for Entertainment purposes.
- The most basic requirement while throwing a Birthday Party is having a Cake. For your reference, here’s a guide that features the steps to get a Cake in the Sims 4.
