Expansion Refresh - Get Together

Very useful and fun pack, that especially needs a re-balancing of the main feature:

- Higher chance for sims to actually perform mean interactions if the club rules say so. At the moment when I gather two rival clubs, they will chat and dance instead of fight.
- Sims remembering rivalries and alliances even when they are not in club outing mode. Members of rival clubs shouldn't sit in the park and play chess together.
- Add new requirements: Skill level 5 and Skill level 10
- Raise the money requirement for poor/middle/rich
- Add more activities
- Add a "Not" filter for traits so that clubs can restrict membership. Example: "No evil sims", "No evil or mean sims"
- Allow just a single piece of clothing as club outfit. Sims would keep their everyday clothes on, but change the top to the one designated by the player. Full body outfits would generate a random pant. (Fun fact, when GT was new I thought this was how it worked. I set only a formal jacket for my Gentlemen's club, assuming they'd keep their normal pants, shoes and hats. When I called the gathering, the gentlemen arrived in their jackets, but barefoot and in their undies.)

New stuff:
- Give us the labyrinth with the "walk through the labyrinth" interaction as an object in buymode.
- Add line dance or square dance and slow dance where sims actually hold hands
- Enable boating in the harbour district and swimming and boating on the island

Exactly like the old one only with the graphics and textures notched up

I'll add some more ideas.

Secret clubs - These sims can gather together but if your sim don't know about the club or isn't a member of it, there's no indication they're gathering. Secret clubs cannot be found in club list unless your sim is a member of it.

'Perfect Hangout' lot trait - A lot trait that boosts club point gain to clubs gathering there. That's it.

'Lame Hangout' lot challenge - Slows down club point gain and may encourage sims to break the rules.

Plus I like all the @EnkiSchmidt ideas!

I love Get Together, to me, the pack is almost perfect. I don't think it needs a refresh, but perhaps a polish? They could go over the club system and add some more club rules they forgot to add with newer packs.

A while ago I had this funny thought, though. If GT was released today, it would probably have a festival that resembles Oktoberfest taking place somewhere in Windenburg. Nothing too fancy, just sims coming together to drink and eat sausages while wearing lederhosen. :D

The only think I'd want from Get Together is a DJ career maybe a Freelance one. You take gigs to perform at parties and venues like bars and nightclubs.

I'd also like more specific interactions as well as more actions. It annoys me how karaoke is not an actions to pick, only singing is and it's annoying cause my karaoke club member will just sing instead of doing karaoke.

I'd also like festivals. I think they could either be held in the public spaces or have them be held in the special lot areas. It would be great if there was a festival in the ruins since I don't really visit it much since the lot is too small to work with and besides random party invites I have no real reason to visit it.

Yeah it’s really annoying with the random singing! I tried to make a Karaoke club in Mt Komorebi but it turned out to be a mess of sims singing randomly everywhere ?. Karaoke should be a separate club activity.

A Festival would be cool, and the Ruins sounds perfect for this. I also want sims stop spawning outside the world unless they’re on vacation. Dancing as a career would be fun, but I think it need to be added in a pack (a lot of animations). Also agree with @EnkiSchmidt that the Skill / Money requirments need to be increased (you can have a level 2 skill by accident!).


Some more things I would like to see in a GET TOGETHER REFRESH:
1. Change the Entertainer career into 2 different Freelance careers:

• FREELANCE ENTERTAINER (Gigs for Comedians)
  
• FREELANCE MUSICIAN (Select specializations: for Singing / Violin / Guitar / Piano / Composing / DJ)

2. Add some Hiking trails & Swimable seas
3. Possibility to lock a career and just work for a Salaray raise (Ex. If you want Clara Bjergsen to stay as a Caterer).
4. Own & Manage a Café (the café lot)
5. Easier to delete clubs as @motdk suggested

I wonder why they don't have more clubs available.

Like a nerds club for gurus and sci fi fans, an undead club for vampires and ghosts, criminal club to cause problems for everyone, alien club which scientists secretly made to study the exotic life forms, etc.

And ability to remove clubs that cause issues would be nice as well.

Whis is what we need:

- Set club hangouts by Time and Day of the week.

- Add club requirements for Likes & Dislikes and Lifestyles.

- Obviously, more club acitivies and fix club activities that don't work or are bugged.

- Windenburg Festivals

Olde Platz
Chess Tournament near the giant landscaped chess sets.

Windslar
Neighborhood Grill-A-Thon across the pond next to Rustic Residence.

Lykke Centre
Fishing Tournament at Lake Windenburg (with an easter egg related to Emily the sea monster)

I don't know if this has been mentioned already but I'd like to see an end to the requirement of having a certain number of clubs. If I delete one of the premade clubs, the game shouldn't create a replacement. When I decide that I don't need 11 clubs, then the game shouldn't start creating its own.
