Where Do Your Clubs Meet?

Wow..only 120 sims. I have over twice that many just of "protected" unplayed sims, with 289 total of those. And another ~500 in "other households". Only 100 sims are homeless though.
Only 120 sims seems spartan to me!

Edit to add: oops, forgot to link it. More club icons mod: https://zerbu.tumblr.com/post/185775650335/ive-remade-my-more-club-icons-mod-with-over-1000

Thanks for the link to the mod. :) I only have 20 sims in other households. I really need to add more sims. :p Probably why the same sims keep turning up everywhere.

I like having clubs but one glitch I ran into a while back is if the club venue is set to another sims house (they are the leader) and you call a meeting as a member only you can't get inside their house, so I've reverted to generic venues for most of my clubs or if not, make sure I'm the leader if the meetings are set to my house.

:lol: yah.. I typed a lot, sorry! And I didn't even mention about a dozen of the clubs that I have...

One thing I didn't mention, @Simgirl1010, is the limit on total clubs. It's a bit over 200. Safe to have around like 220, but once you pass that much farther it starts to cause game glitchiness.
With such a high limit, tailoring a club (or two) specific to every single community lot in your game is doable, with room to spare.

I use a mod that adds a ton more to the "club requirements" filters so that I can really customize the type of sims in my clubs. Available here. And I also use several mods that add more club activities.

Do you have any method for managing the the three clubs per sim limit? There used to be a mod to increase it, but it appears to be out of date and I haven't been able to find a replacement.

@ModerateOsprey, I don't actually personally use a mod that increases that limit because I've never seen the need to have a sim in more than 3 clubs. That said, I follow the whole modding scene pretty darn closely just so I always know my options when I suddenly decide that I do want a mod for x, y or z.

This mod is still being regularly updated (last updated just 2 weeks ago) and allows up to 15 clubs per sim: https://kingzace.wixsite.com/kingzaceofthesims4/15-clubs-per-sim: https://kingzace.wixsite.com/kingzaceofthesims4/15-clubs-per-sim

Love having multiple clubs in my games & gaining crazy amounts of Club Points. Main sim always levels up in multiple skills super fast while creating lasting friendships & working on needs. All lots are renovated to include necessary activities.

Most favorite club type:

Family Vacay - interchangeable location depending on holiday. For Main Sim to bond with family she no longer lives with. Calendar week is blocked w/ days off (for stay home pay) & filled with related activities. Everyone (mostly) stays at designated rental during that time. 'Club' meeting starts when she's rested & clean. The sims in the club, who didn't go on vacay will then show up. Works out well to simultaneously get club points & calendar rewards.

Regular Clubs:
Garden Knomes @ Magnolia Blossom Park
Good Timers @ Blue Velvet
League of Adventurers @ Newcrest Playground Park
Crumplebottom Book Club @ Willow Creek Archives
Study Buddies @ Commons
Partygurl - Nightclub @ Discotheque Pan Europa
Namaste - Yoga club @ Spa
Upper Crusts @ expensive gourmet restaurant

It's nice seeing other sims unrelated to my storyline randomly meeting up in community lots I just happen to visit that day.

How odd. I am sure I checked that and thought it was out of date. Must have been drunk or something. Well good stuff :)

I don't use it liberally because you end up with a whopping big list over their head when you hover over them, but I have some key sims where I like to have more than 3 clubs.

I mostly use clubs to create specific a atmosphere at a location. So if I have, say, two bars and I want one to feel like a seedy place where a bunch of disreputable tough types hang out, and one to feel like an upscale spot where hoity-toity rich people hang out, I create clubs for each with sims that give off those kind of vibes.
