Psssst! Hey! Yes, you! We need to talk about clubs:

Using the Clubs for Immersive Gameplay

Of all the systems that Sims 4 has, the club feature is probably one of my favourites (Restaurants are a close second, but they're not why we're here today!) Clubs are one of the easiest ways to increase your immersion when you play and make the random townies that show up on community lots just a tiny bit less random.

The Basics

Often, people are mostly concerned with the groups their active sims are in. You might already have a club to keep track of your sims' closest friends, study group, or baby daddies, we don't judge here.

Clubs are also a great way to automate what you want your sim to be doing with less micromanaging, but for immersion, we're actually more interested in clubs for the sims you don't (or rarely) play.

WTF are the neighbours doing?

Most of the pre-made clubs are kinda meh. I prefer to add my own so I can make my community lots just a bit more lively and make sure people's activities make just a tiny bit of sense because the autonomy in this game is not great. These are just for inspiration based on clubs I often add to my own game:

A group of teens who meet at the retail clothing store to try on clothes and gossip about Nancy's nose job or whatever.

A local bowling league (complete with uniforms) who meet and bowl - just don't fuck with The Jesus.

An HOA of Karens who meet at the park to clean, raise property values, and be mean to people.

Geeks and gamers who meet at the local arcade to awkwardly flirt over pizza.

Comedians who meet at the local comedy club - you can even use the club doors to make a VIP backroom only for the performers.

Sports teams - such as a basket team who meets at a local basket court, or a swim team who meets at the local pool (you can even give them tiny matching speedos!)

Scouts! The scout feature is cute but it's a rabbit hole, boo! But you can make a Scouts club, complete with uniforms, and have them show up in parks where they can do various activities and work on their badges. Add a teen or two to supervise the younglings, their parents will be so proud, aww.

A sorority or fraternity in university who meet up at the local bar in matching varsity jackets to make all the other students feel inferior.

A group of old ladies who meet at the park to knit or cross-stitch and brag about the accomplishments of their descendants.

A "business" club, usually CEOs, lawyers and such, who meet in fancy bars to hold important business meetings and probably commit white-collar crimes, so predictable.

If you have a sim with an office/work from home job and you'd like to pretend they actually go to work, you can make an office building and a group of "coworkers" who'll show up to drink coffee, chat, and work on computers next to them in the office. It'll even simulate rotating desk assignments for an instant capitalist hellscape!

The possibilities are endless, and I find the club feature really useful to add little interesting scenarios to the background of my gameplay.

Thanks to SQOTD for inspiring this!

i have some hot takes for yall today

mod updates shouldn’t be behind early access like… come on!

everyone should just be able to upload the cc they used on a sim or in a lot when they upload that sim or lot to be shared with the community. we know op didnt make the cc, we know credit goes to the cc creator, cc always has the creators name anyways. if i have to manually download all the cc for a sim or build i just won’t, like it’s not really doing anyone any favors. i’m not gonna list cc for every sim i upload, sorry, i’m chronically ill and i don’t have that kind of time or energy 🤷🏻 loosen up a bit man it’s just simblr

it really hits me how deep in sims i am when i get a wcif and i’m a little surprised like you can’t tell at a glance that’s a greenllamas 2020 piece? we can’t all immediately identify a clumsyalien hair? babe that’s obviously from sentate SS19. oh that’s serenity-cc, pre-maxis match celebrity-inspired era. wdym, that’s clearly from the 2021 golden age of ridgeport clothes.

"last exception caught by mcc-" don't care. DIDN'T ASK!

[pixelpeeple]

It’s all fun and games until your jeans don’t fit.

if someone put a gun to my head and said only download the strandless versions of hair cc for the rest of your life or die y’all would be attending a funeral

I finally got around to updating my old lifespans in The Sims 4!

With the release of infants, it was time for a refresh! Also, after playing the game for a while, I noticed that the older lifespans were a litttttle toooo lonnngg - so these provide a great balance for your sims to enjoy life and parenthood! 

As always, I use MC Command Center to update these settings - I am willing to help anyone who doesn’t know how to find these settings using MCCC. 🤎

So @ellcrze is one of my favorite creators ever, I swear guys she’s the best. If you haven’t watched the first episode of her new Sunhaven series you need to. It’s what inspired me to recreate her build for my own personal gameplay and let me tell you…I’m OBSESSED🤎

I rarely play in sulani but I’m excited to start with all of this new motivation🔆 thanks @ellcrze for making me love the sims again🤍

Also congratulations on being a soon to be momma!🍼
