The new Get Together expansion invites you to explore the new Windenburg’s venues and breathtaking vistas. Building a home on the water shores of this European inspired town is a joy thanks to the inclusion of nearly 360 objects to use in the game’s build mode. These items mostly center around the new town’s theme and offer a nice aesthetic appeal that feels truly distinct from the base game’s IKEA-esque furnishings. Lots can now be made to have a touch of historical class to them and the whole process is as seamless as ever, reminding us of the intuitive and powerful build mode improvements introduced with The Sims 4. Relocating, rotating, and even pulling and pushing rooms has never been more useful, and the community has already taken to sharing some charmingly medieval looking Tudor homes and castles on the Gallery, the game’s internal community hub where you can download households, lots and rooms. If you’re not the creative type, this hub is a lifesaver and does wonders to populate your town with vibrant sights and characters.
Windenburg’s cobblestone streets and lively locales motivate hermit Sims to get out on the town and shake their tail feathers with the new Dance skill line at the numerous bars, dance clubs and beach parties. Unless you’re a lone wolf, the whole process is merrier with friends, so you might want to join one of the brand new Clubs before you send your Sims out there. Clubs are the biggest new feature added with this latest expansion pack and they bring with them a level of customization and player empowerment that these games are known and loved for. You can opt to join an existing club and serve as a loyal member or perhaps plot to overthrow the leader and take control. Or maybe you just wanna make your own.
The stock clubs revolve around classic archetypes. There’s the Avant Garde club, appropriately named, whose members enjoy drinking coffee and reading fine literature. If it’s too slow for your Sim’s tastes, maybe join the Spin Masters and level up in the new DJ skill line? Or maybe Dancing is more your pace, in which case you’ll want to join the new Partihaus club and tear it up around town, engaging in dance battles and synchronized dance routines with your crew. There’s a club out there for most Sims, but if you’re an oddball or just want to start your own cult, then Create a Club is definitely for you.
