Discover University introduced Organizations, which got the same UI tab that the Clubs from Get Together. With DU being brand new it was reasonable that Organizations was the default option when clicking the tab, but it has become less reasonable and these days it's plain annoying.A handful of my sims are at University, while 300 sims are not. Most of my sims are members of one or more clubs, while none are members of organizations. So, my question is: At what point would you guys consider making Clubs the default option?

Yep. Clubs should be default, still.

That drives me up the wall too. They should absolutely have switched those buttons round. I have only used Organisations once anyway because I tend to forget about them even whilst playing students.

For that matter, how difficult is it to have an auto Switch so that Organizations are default only while enrolled?

In view of the aversion to wok out there, going back to clubs, one and done, would be simpler and fit the needs of most of us. Including me.

I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking this

Auto switch sounds cool! Or just give us access to both alternatives in the next popup tab without needing to switch.

I would also like clubs to be the default. Especially if the selected sim is a member of a club but didn't join any student organisation.

Ideally it should either switch depending on enrolled/not enrolled or remember the last one that was open but otherwise I'd rather have the Clubs panel open by default.

Honestly I don't even see the point of organisations. They should've just repackaged the clubs system from the get-go.
Functionally they're just clubs--you join, they have specific outfits, specific icons, specific activites, specific locations--except you can't control them. They may as well be the same thing.

The ONLY big difference is that participating in organizations make your grades go up. But yeah, except for that, there is no reason why organizations should exist other than someone said "American schools have these, we gotta have these!" when making the pack.
(Organizations as presented in DU is very much something i only knew about from watching college comedies. And Gilmore Girls. It's not something that exists over here).
