This SimDay, a few friends from Maxis work on their party skills with the help of House Party.
Here we are at Maxis, the home of MaxisAndrea and MaxisDano. Hey look ... there is MaxisAndrea now waving for us to come inside.
They just had breakfast and appear to be talking about having a party but feel as though something is missing in their party plan.
MaxisAndrea - Is there a course we can take for throwing parties? MaxisDano - I know ... we should call MAXISean! He knows how to throw a great party! I will call him right now.
I am here ... the party can now begin! Oh man you guys need balance in your lives. The first thing you have to do is change out of your PJ's.
I am going to ride the bull while you two get your groove on in your new party outfits.MaxisAndrea - I feel weird in these new clothes!
MaxisDano - If we have to wear these clothes you have to wear PJ's MAXISean.
MAXISean - Very well I well go change. While I am gone you guys call your friends and a caterer to prepare food for the hungry crowd.
You two need to reconnect and spend some quiet time together before the party starts. I suggest the bubble maker! MaxisDano - I feel as though something in this party environment is missing.
MaxisAndrea - I still do not know how to throw a party and also feel like something is missing. MaxisDano - What about dancing?
MAXISean - How about these dance cages? MaxisAndrea - They are a blast, but I still feel like something is missing.
MAXISean - Hang on let me DJ for you guys maybe that is the problem? A great party needs a great DJ. Wait ... I know what you guys are missing!
MAXISean - You are missing his and her bathrooms! Finally with House Party comes separate bathrooms.
MaxisDano - You are right MAXISSean. That is what our parties have been missing!MaxisAndrea - I feel like dancing now. This is going to be the best party ever!
