More Club Icons

Hello.
As a console player, I would like EA/Maxis to update the Club icons (from Get Together). The selection is so limited, and it would be awesome to have plenty of them.

  • @def3ct0r I'd like to see this too. The selection could use a refresh if it's possible to do so. It's a little limited and there are so many more things in the game now that could be reflected in club logos. I find I'm using some more than once, but I'd rather not do that. My child Sims have loads of different clubs so I'd like more for them especially.

    Exactly. The game assets (icons) are already in the game, so I guess it wouldn't be difficult to make them available as actual club icons. Please, EA!

  • @def3ct0r I would also like to see this. As a console player I can't add extra icons. It would be so great if they utilized the icons they already have in the game.

    This would be great for holidays, self employment icons and business icons as well. It would be great to see.

    There are a ton of icons to choose from and add to Clubs. So my questions:

    1. How many icons need to be added to be enough?
    2. How many icons would Players be willing to scroll through to find the right one?

    To answer the first question: I say designate from the existing pool of icons for every option available under Club Requirements and Activities. Those icons are already coded to display in the dropdown menus.

    Then to answer the second question and limit scrolling, create an algorithm to pull up a list of icons based on the inputs from building the Club. This dynamic solution would adapt easily with the addition of future DLC.

    For instance, if my Club is a League of Bowling Vampires, this proposed algorithm would produce choices for Vampire and Bowling icons to select for my Club.

    Another Club example: Super Sporty Sims = Requirements: Career: Soccer Team Player, Athlete, Football Team Member, Cheer Team Member; Traits: Active; Activities: Play Soccer, Basketball, Football, Cheerlead. This Club would produce a list of all the sporty icons as checked off in Requirements and Activities when creating this Club.

    One reason I don't think new Club icons have been added is due to their corresponding CAS and Decor rewards featuring the icon would also need to be added. Such as the CAS hat and jacket, the Club Door, Banners, etc.

    So now a new question: Would having the choice of using a symbolic Club icon and forego the matching perk CAS and decor be a workable solution?
    -- Speaking on behalf of the League of Bowling Vampires, I say yes it would.

    Please, take a look at this video.

    EA - Maxis, I know you can do it! 🙂

    @def3ct0r Yep! I've used this Mod to get more options. Consider, however, the video featuring this mod was posted 8 years ago. The game has since included a ton more icons and activities and that icon list is only going to grow, especially now that we've learned The Sims 4 will continue for many more years and DLCs to come.

    I am wondering if there could be a smart-filter implemented based on what boxes are checked when building a Club, making choosing an icon more user-friendly. There could still be an option to See All too. Maybe the original Get Together icons could be labeled Exclusive since they have special corresponding CAS and BB items.
