So, there's a bit of a problem with parties since Cats and Dogs patches. Basically, it's a bug that means certain criteria can never be met, specifically ones where you require multiple sims to do something (official bug thread here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/COLLECTION-THREAD-Party-Goals-not-fulfilling/m-p/6381166/highlight/false#M45230).

Any ideas of how to get around this? It does mean some aspirations are now impossible to complete :/

Honesty is always the rule of thumb the team goes by with bugs. As long as you put in the work to accomplish certain party requirements, then use a cheat to advance an Aspiration.

The main problem is that if you can't complete some lower-level goals, you don't get the higher-level ones and there is no way to know if you'd have gotten a gold medal. I just threw a dinner party where besides "call to meal," the other first level goals were all related to multiple Sims doing something at the same time. Even though I "completed" those goals, they never turned over to reveal the next level, which means the highest medal I could have gotten with the goals I could see would have been silver.

I'm not sure what the solution is besides hoping it gets fixed ASAP, but there really is no way for a player to conjecture what their final party score would have been in the scenario I described. :(

If certain aspirations are removed from scoring, then a player who completed those aspirations may be penalized because the time they spent on them could have been devoted to a different aspiration that they did not have time to complete. This is going to be a tough call for the challenge team.

Even with this bug you can still legitimately complete Milestone 1-3 and most of 4 of the Party Animal aspiration and the Silver Dinner Party for Master Chef. The only thing you would struggle with is the task 3 Gold Medals in Milestone 4.  if a player can prove they got everything bar this task done and has photos they are doing the activities that are not rolling then I think it's a safe bet to say they would have gotten 3 gold medals. It's not that much time to do 3 gold parties. 1-3 sim hours each at most.

Of course, whatever the team decides is fine by me. To be honest, I HATE that aspiration and almost never play it. I had quite forgotten that it's only 3 Golds at the end. :D

I got 5000 points, doing 2 Milestones I, 9 Milestones II and 3 Complete Aspirations.

That was hard. :-\

Thank you @cyclonenic - and back at you!  I suspect there'll be two or three more before it's done.  It will be fun to hear the different approaches everyone took.

 Question: Have installed Cats and Dogs (I had to write a short review), is using only Sims clothes, hair, etc. (cosmetic CAS stuff) allowed? I wont touch the new town, aspiration, pet family member etc.

Yes, that's fine.

I cannot believe this year's Tournament season ends a week from today. Wow. Where did the time go? :) Anyways, good luck finishing up the Finale and make sure to post your score by next Sunday.
