A Detailed List of Club Ideas {The Sims 4}

Is your Sims 4 gameplay getting a little stale? For me, yes.

I was watching a few different Sims-related YouTube channels and I noticed a trend of making your own save file (aka.re-doing every lot and household with your own creations). Since I'm somewhat of a masochist, I decided to do this myself. As of right now I have about 37 lots finished out of a possible 211 (not including vacation worlds and worlds from packs I don't own). It's been a bit of a pain, but I do love the challenge!

With this save file, I'm also doing a complete overhaul of existing clubs from the Get Together pack. To do this, I made a list of all the possible club ideas I could think of and wanted to share them!

*QUICK NOTE: Many of these clubs could potentially be combined, but if I were to list out every combination it would take forever, haha.*

AGE-RELATED

CLIQUES: For teens. Make a few different clubs like the "Jocks", the "Rebels", the "Popular Kids", the "Band Kids", etc. Have certain ones rival others to add a little spice and drama! You could even have rival club members fall for each other. If you're feeling ambitious, build a High School and give them each their own club room to hangout in. Lots of possibilities!

EMPTY NESTERS: For adults whose children have moved out. This one was actually inspired by one of the small groups at my church! It's great for Sims who are too old to hang out with "youngsters" but too young to be "elderly". A rooftop bar with live music or meeting at a club member's house would be a great hangout.

OLD TIMERS: For elders. A nice way to incorporate elders into your gameplay! Have them perform activities like cross-stitching, knitting, baking, play cards, etc. I recommend building a community center for their hangout!

SCOUTS: For children and teens. You can do Boy/Girl Scouts or create a co-ed group and have them do some basic outdoor activities. If you want to take it a step further, have the Sims take up the Scouts as their after-school activity and let their actions in the club count toward their badges! I recommend their hangout be the local park.

STUDY GROUP: For children, teens, and college students. A great way for the younger generations to socialize while also learning some skills and doing homework! Ideal hangout spaces would be a library or any club member's house.

BUSINESS

This one is a bit different. Since I'm not the biggest fan of the retail and restaurant mechanics, I decided that if I wanted my own company or small business, I'd make it into a club. Here is an example...

I wanted a Sim to be the owner of a small game development company, but I didn't want him to be in the Tech or Freelancer Programmer career. Instead, I registered the Sim with the Ministry of Labor as "Owner of [insert company name]" (or just "Game Developer") and created a club where programming was the main activity and him and his team would work on making video games and mobile apps.

You can even do this for your retail stores! Have the club members come over to help you make merchandise... just please remember to "pay" your staff somehow :)

Also, do remember that if it can't be physically created (like a painting or woodwork) then you may not get the chance to sell it yourself. However, I believe having club members as "staff" makes the experience feel a little more immersive!

Some possible ideas:

Florist (selling flowers or flower arrangements)

Game Development (making games and mobile apps)

Music Production Studio (songwriting and media production)

Publishing Company (writing and publishing books)

CLASSES

Make the most out of your clubs by turning them into classes! You can have it be for teens and children only, or you can have adult versions too! You could do it with any skill in the game, but here are a examples:

Acting

Cooking

Dancing

Painting

Piano/Guitar/Singing/Violin Lessons

Programming

Writing

And more!

If you love building, a great location for these types of clubs would be a small community college and have a different classroom for each skill!

HOBBY CLUBS

BOWLING CLUB: If you have Bowling Night, make your own bowling team! Even better, since you can choose a club's outfit you can give them their own team uniform.

DIVE CLUB: Perfect for all your Sims who love warm weather and swimming!

E-SPORTS TEAM: If you would like your Sim to be a professional gamer on the side (and not as a career), create a club with your own E-Sports team! If you want to take this idea to the max, I recommend the Get Famous pack for the fame aspect.

EXCAVATION TEAM: If you were like me and grew up watching Indiana Jones and/or The Mummy movies (Brendan Frasier > Tom Cruise) then the idea of going on an archeological dig is fascinating. Now you can have your own "team" and set off to Selvadorada to find treasure! Excavate, do research, and read are a few activities you can add to the club. Jungle Adventure required.

FASHION CLUB: No skills really for this, just a passion for fashion! You could also restrict this to Sims in the Style Influencer career too to make it a bit more exclusive.

FILM CLUB: For Sims who love film! Movie Hangout is highly recommended as it provides movies for your Sim to watch and a popcorn machine! In my game, their hangout spot is the local movie theater.

FOOD CLUB: For Cooking, Gourmet Cooking, and/or Baking (and Mixology if you want). Since Sims hate it when you cook in their kitchen, I recommend having them go to community lot to meet. Currently I'm working on a culinary school for my save file!

GARDENING CLUB: For Sims to practice Gardening and Herbalism. Outdoor Retreat is recommended for Herbalism skill but not necessary. I do recommend either using one of the existing parks or creating your own community garden for this club.

KARAOKE CLUB: For Sims who love to sing! City Living is required for this to work, but if you have a Sim who is aspiring to be a famous singer, this is a great way to get started!

PUBLIC SPEAKING: For Charisma (and Research & Debate if you have Discover University). There are many public speaking groups outside of a school setting, so it doesn't have to be limited to just students! I recommend a library setting for this type of hangout, but it could easily be in a Sim's home.

WELLNESS CLUB: For Sims who are seeking inner peace and a healthier lifestyle, this club is perfect. Spa activities, yoga, and meditation are some of the activities you can do! Spa Day required.

WINTER ACTIVITY CLUB: For Sims who love Ice Skating, Skiing, Snowboarding, and other winter activities. Snowy Escape and Seasons are recommended for this type of club. Their main hangout is the onsen in Mt. Komorebi as it provides quick access to the slopes!

MISCELLANEOUS CLUBS

ACTIVIST GROUP: These Sims want to make a difference in the world! They can perform conservation activities, give speeches, and debate. Island Living and/or City Living are required for this club. Discover University is recommended, but not necessarily required.

BAND: It's not gonna sound pretty when they're all playing at the same time, but you can have a few members who play a different instruments to have your own band! The Sim version of my brother (who IRL is a great musician) is the leader of the band Fleetwoob Smac. City Living recommended for Singing skill.

BASKETBALL TEAM: If you have City Living, you can create your own basketball team! Sure, they can't play actual matches, but it's a great way to level up the Fitness skill while socializing. For an easy hangout, I recommend a small outdoor basketball court that'd you'd find at your local park. If you want to be ambitious, build a Rec Center or a Stadium/Arena! I built an arena and, while it is by no means a masterpiece, it adds a bit of realism.

BOOK CLUB: Have a group of Bookworms meet up at the local library to discuss their favorite books! You could also add "Drink coffee" and "Write" to your club's activities to add a little more depth.

INFLUENCER CLUB: With Simstagram being the dominate social media site, there will - of course - the Sims who make a living from it! Have the club members seek to build their following through posting pictures on Simstagram and recording videos. I strongly recommend Get Famous as well as Moschino Stuff and/or Get to Work for backdrops and such.

POP GROUP: Have a group of aspiring pop stars to come together to create their own music act! The perfect pack combo for this is Get Famous and City Living. Sample activities are singing, dancing, playing instruments, and media production.

SPELLCASTERS: Honestly? A great way to level up your Spellcaster Sim. Activities like "Use Cauldron" and "Cast Spells" will contribute to your progress, and cross a few tasks off of spellcaster-related aspirations. Realm of Magic required.

VAMPIRE CULT: Like the Spellcaster club, a club full of Vampires is a great way to level up the ranks. What makes this really fun is you can choose your club's reputation beforehand: you can make the Vampires feared and disliked with the "Infamous Club" perk, or make them adored with the "Popular Club" perk. Vampires required.

WINE MOMS: Every town has a group of wine moms. If you want to add a bit of realism to your gameplay get Clara Bjergsen, Eliza Pancakes, and Nancy Landgraab together once a week to complain about their life and mix drinks!

DAD GROUP: I have yet to come up with a catchy name for this club but essentially, it's the opposite of the Wine Moms group. Recommended activities are grilling, fishing, playing horseshoes, and watching TV!

FINAL IDEA: BE SILLY

I'm not kidding, be as ridiculous as you want! You want a club where the requirement is a Five Star Celebrity status and their only activity is "All things grilled cheese"? Do it! Unless you're streaming your gameplay, nobody's gonna see it so you might as well have a little fun!

CLUB NAMES

Naming things can be difficult. Luckily, I don't have too much of an issue because I love puns and memes, and most of my club names are based off of puns and memes. Here are just a few:

Alley Cats: My bowling club.

Mic Droppers: My karaoke club.

On Pointe: My dance club.

Puns & Roses: My club of comedians.

Sharpshooters: My photography club.

Tech, Mate: My programming/gaming club.

The Mages Guild: My Spellcaster club that is based off The Elder Scrolls. The description is this: "Have you heard? The Mages Guild is recruiting again!"

Weed Whackers: My gardening/herbalism club.

BONUS

I named my dive club the Sea Crits because of this LotR meme:
