Basically you can be as creative as you like and it really does give the expansion and the base game a lot more replay value, because there is so much to experiment with it’s the first time since release that I’ve had much interest in loading up and getting my sim on. Maybe you’ll want to enforce a no flirting rule, because Gladys can never quite seem to keep it in her pants, saucy minx. You have the ability to set out what your group will be doing when they spend time together, and you can also put down some activities that you definitely won’t be partaking in. I’m not even going to attempt to list what rules you can put into place, suffice it to say that there are many. You’ll need to enforce some rules darling, you are representing the golden oldies after all. You think that deciding upon who you’ll allow into your club, and where you’ll hang out would be enough but there’s a lot, LOT more to get to grips with. So a nightclub with plenty of drinks, and no annoying kids is of course the perfect place for my fabulous seniors, but you can choose anything from a museum, to a spa, to a gym (not that anyone would hang out in a gym, am I right?). You’ll be able to build your own hangout, which will become limited to the members of the club you build it for. Once you’ve chosen the clientele who will be frequenting your club you can then decide where they will hang out. You can even restrict age groups, so if you’d like a bunch of senior sims with the ‘gloomy’ and ‘hates children’ traits, then so be it (not that that’s what I’ll be like in my pensioner years), or you can have only those in the comedian career path by limiting access by job choice. In each club you create limits on who can and cannot join, and those limits can be as exclusive or free as you like. I’ll admit the clubs feature is extremely extensive, and I am genuinely impressed at the thought that has gone into crafting it.

It’s clever really, one of my main complaints about the original was the lack of open world (instead we have all the loading screens), which was utilised so well in The Sims 3, so the push to visit different lots and places means you’re actually motivated to experience more than just your own delightfully-crafted lot. Your sims will be encouraged to get out and explore with folk they share connections with. The main premise for Get Together is to create and join clubs, and is the feature that introduces the most change into the puppeteered life of the sim.

I’ll be upfront, I wasn’t a huge fan of the base game and as such didn’t purchase the Get to Work expansion, so this latest one, Get Together will be my first on that front. sparse, but who’d have thought it would happen so quickly, even for EA. No surprise there, since the base game upon release was fairly. The Sims 4 has been out for just over a year and already we’ve had two game packs, six Stuff Packs and now two expansions.
