Social Clubs Mod (+ banking) - Grow Memberships, Push Activities, Make Bank Accounts and More!

Tired of your sims walking aimlessly through town? No friends, no hobbies, no purpose? Put an end to their lack of a fulfilling social life by creating a million and one clubs for them to join and/or get kicked out of!

With 50+ activities for you to push, including activities from over 10 different mods, and 4 specialised club types, you can create almost any club you can think of: book clubs, invite-only hangouts, afterschool clubs and more! Grow memberships, take part in tournaments and ship cute little subscription gifts straight to your sim’s door.

Note: This mod is very extensive, so please thoroughly READ the documentation in the download that I’ve painstakingly written up.

Note 2: This is not a recreation of the Sims 4 club system.

UPDATE - 01/07/2024

• Some under the hood additions for my allotment mod update
• Club owners should no longer leave their own club after a bad session or not meeting requirements.

Create Clubs

• Custom Club: Push specific activities (or no activity at all) and watch your active and inactive club members congregate and do said activities. Push bowling, swimming, rumba, nectar drinking, collecting, studying, music lessons, among many other things.
• Subscription-Only Club: While members won’t meet up, force them to pay a subscription fee to the club owner for your own purposes. Consider: food subscription service, council-tax payments, school fees.
• Book Club: Choose a book for the book club. Your sims will sit together, have discussions, and read said book.
• Formal Gathering Club: Set musicians and/or a speaker (podium or pulpit). Have your club members sit down and act like they’re listening to said musicians and speaker. Choose a skill to increase while the club is in operation.

Club Vibes

Clubs can have different vibes depending on the cost and activities, attracting or repelling different types of sims. There are sports, games, intellectual, low-brow and high class clubs. Some personalities will be more inclined to join than others.



Customising Clubs

Set different open days, open hours, required club outfits, subscription fees, gender, age, career and trait requirements/restrictions, forbidden actions etc.

Autonomy

Allow or restrict autonomy in different ways. Make clubs open or closed invite, allowing or disallowing sims to join, leave, or be kicked out with or without your own input. Put club boards around town and let sims browse. Impress observers by having a great club session and watch them beg to join!



Tournaments

Win tournaments and gain club acclaim. Get cash prizes, find yourself in the newspaper, and find out if any of your fellow club members are playing for the opposing team. Your own sim isn’t exempt from the repercussions of being a club traitor!

Banking

Create Bronzo accounts for your sims. You can link these accounts to schedulers and have the club fee delivered straight into the account.

Take out loans, find the best interest rates online and stay out of your overdraft. Try not to get your account details stolen at the all new ATMs that you can place around town and don’t leave your debit card laying around near strangers!

Credits: Full credit in documentation. However, thank you to @olomayasims​, IcarusAllsorts, Arsil, Buzzler & @zoeoe-sims​, @anitmb​, @greenplumbboblover​, @flotheory​ as I push some of their mods as activities. You will benefit from installing their particular mods (see documentation) to get a fuller experience!

Conflicts: None.

Please enjoy! If you have any urgent questions about the mod, please message me on Tumblr as I don't often check MTS.

For Modders: You can catch events in your own mods by using (EventTypeId) 0x13B00CDF (which is sent when a sim withdraws money from a bronzo account) and (EventTypeId) 0x593520EA (which is sent whenever a sim goes into overdraft.

Uninstallation: Not required, but you can use the cheat 'clearbronzobanks' in order to remove all bank related data.
