As you know by now, SimsVIP visited the EA Creators Camp in Redwood Shores. We had asked for your questions about The Sims 4 Get Together expansion pack, and we brought a list of answered questions back for you!
❗ Please keep in mind that these are the questions you asked us to get answered. For general information about Get Together, visit our Mega Post! If your question/answer is not on this list, then we were unable to get an answer.
Clubs
- How do Sims join pre-made or other clubs?
-
To join a Club, click on the glowing button in the bottom right corner to open the Clubs panel. From there, just click the Join A Club button for a list of available Club openings and their requirements.
- Can two members of a household become a club by themselves? Can family members be a club in different households? Can more than one household member be a leader of different clubs?
-
Yes to all of these. Clubs are based on each individual Sim, not by Households at all.
- Will Sims in a club gathering automatically do what the active Sim or leader does, or does it use a special interaction to make them all do it?
-
A little bit of both! With the group system, your active Sim will be able to use a special interaction to encourage other Sims to join them. With the Club Gathering, Sims will have a high preference for the interactions of the Club over anything else.
- Is there a time limit on club gatherings?
-
There is not a time limit on Club gatherings, they can go for days on end!
- Is a romantic club able to kiss and WooHoo with acquaintances and Sims they don’t know?
-
Clubs are able to be set to perform certain interactions with Everyone, a certain Club, or this Club’s members. Setting a Club up to be flirty with everyone will result in shameless flirtations! However, if a significant other of one of the Club members sees the Sim performing romantic interactions, they will get jealous. If the significant other is in the Club as well, there will not be any jealousy.
- Will clubs be able to travel to destination worlds as a club or at a gathering? Can clubs select Granite Falls lots as a hangout?
-
Yes and no. You will be able to travel with your group with the vacation system however it will not be considered a Club gathering since it’s through that system. The lots in the Vacation system are not available for hangouts.
- How do clubs interact and rival with each other? Is it automatic or do you need to perform interactions?
-
You can set each Clubs up to interact with another Club in a certain way as to Be Mean and Fight against the other. Setting both Clubs with this will make a rival that will be visible in your game.
- Will townies randomly join clubs?
- When a club is created you can select for it to be Open Invitation or Invite Only. Sims will call the leader of the club and ask to join the Club.
- Can we set the day and time of club meetings or does it occur instantly?
-
You can start a gathering instantly by clicking the Start A Gathering button but not schedule it with a day/time.
- Can we arrange for several different clubs to meet at a location and then watch them all at the same time?
-
Yes! Several different clubs can be customized to prefer a specific venue. You can take part in one of those clubs or just watch them interact without being involved.
- What happens when a Sim is at work and asked to a club Get Together.
- If your Sim is at work, they will get a text that asks them if they’d like to join the Club Gathering. Your Sim can select Yes and leave work instantly, although they would take a hit from their job performance as though they had left work early normally. If your Sim wants to start a gathering, all other Sims will be pulled out of their jobs to join.
- Will the club gatherings be using the task/goal system like the parties and GTW careers?
-

-
No, Clubs cannot be disabled however players can choose not to take part in Clubs.
- Will Sims ever autonomously break the rules of a Club?
-
During club gatherings, Sims will not feel pushed to break the Club rules but sometimes they will autonomously do so via traits, needs, or player interactions. When a Sim breaks a rule, a new interaction is available to scold them. Other Sims will autonomously scold them as well. Scolding a Sim will reduce your friendship with them a little and they might become sad.
- Can residential lots be set as a club hangout?
-
Clubs can gather at club member residences or specify which type of venue, or even a specific venue. When you designate a club house. You can set any of a type and randomly choose one of those types in the world. You can lock the door of a venue to each club on any door in the game. You can make your own house the hangout and set a special room for the secret place.

-
As a leader, you can add Sims that meet your requirements to the Club by clicking the addition sign when creating a club and in live mode with the Club panel.
- Can club career requirements be sub-divided? (such as Chef career level 5+)
-
No they cannot. The requirements are restricted to Age, Career, Marital Status, Financial Status, Traits, and Skill Level +2. Supernaturals such as Aliens have a hidden Alien trait bound to them and is found in the Trait requirement list. Players cannot customize what Skill Level will be the minimum for recruitment.
