Question about Get Together ep

Because relations in TS4 are so quickly and randomly changed for non played families, I thought of getting the Get together EP while it's on sale to benefit from those groups. But my game is starting to lag (low end pc), so I'm still a little on the fence.

Couple question:

#1 - When sims are gathered as a group, will there me new animated icons dancing above their heads, or will it work just like a bigger grouping that we already have ( flat, semi transparent flat thing above the heads). It's important to me that I can remove any animated icons when creating movies or stories. Can someone confirm this, please?

#2 - Also - I can already gather a group in my game (actions > form group), but then I can only invite sims my sim already knows. I understand that with GT EP I can create community groups based on traits and interests etc, regardless of knowing them.

#3 - How are members assigned to groups? Will I be the one picking the members, or will it be randomly assigned by the game (based on certain criteria?). Or must each member sign up while actively played?

I know I liked all pictures seen from the world that comes with this EP. Not really needing any more worlds because I play all households in all worlds, and it's becoming very time consuming, but this world seems to have nice old fashioned locations for movie making.

    I'm here to answer your question.

    Question #1:
    Yes, sims who are in the club gathering do have the semi transparent octagon above their head with their club icon. Club leaders also have a crown on the octagon. This changes color to green if the member is doing the club activities and to red is the member is breaking the rules.
    headlineeffects off cheat will work here. If you want please read this SimsVIP guide to remove these.

    Question #2:
    Yes, when creating a club, you can choose any sim that matches the requirement even if your sim doesn't know them. However, if you can't add the sim you want, he/she may be at work/school at the moment. You can add them once their work/school ends.

    Question #3:
    I can answer that question two ways:
    1. When you create a club or have a club, you can choose new members by clicking on the + icon in the members panel and choosing new members. Clubs have to have at least 1 member to exist but there must be at least 2 members in order to start a gathering. You can also get new members by asking them to join your club in person. Other sims may also call your sim and say that they want to join the club.
    But do remember, if you have set your club to Open Invitation, all members can add new members. If the club is set to Invite Only, only leaders can add new members. Please remember that you have a limit. At start it is 6 sims but with perks you can raise it up to 8 sims.
    2. If in your game the club count reaches below 10, the game will generate a new club with random townies. NPC clubs won't automatically get new members, so you can make your sims join to club to keep it alive or create enough clubs so the game won't have to create new ones.

    I agree, Windenburg is a nice world.
