That trailer still had me in Late Night mode. Is EA afraid something isn't cool unless it looks like a party?
I wasn't even aware of the clubs/groups features. I felt like the core feature of this EP got lost in the music and dancing.
That could really get me into my sims and their friends depending on how EA does it.
I did like moments in the trailer where the group of friends all raised their glasses, the two friends helping out a third with her outfit (and later synchronized dancing). I really need to see what these other activities and clubs are like.
I wrote the following back in 2011.
If I can do this in Get Together, I'm in.
I just read about 64 x 64 lots. That's a big deal for me and a plus for this EP.

Your Sims will be able to join different Clubs, each with their own interests, personalities, and styles. They have defined behaviours that dictate how they tend to act, including how they treat other Sims, and what they do or don't like to do. There will be a variety of Clubs waiting for your Sims when you first load up the expansion pack, but you’re also able to create and customize your own. You can set their requirements, decide what behaviours they have, choose their preferred hang outs, and even give them distinct rewards.
Hanging out with groups of friends makes Get Together feel truly unique. Your Sim’s in-game friends will act a lot like your real ones – whether you’re going for a dip in the Natural Pools along the bluffs or just lounging around in the pub, groups will engage in new, exciting ways. Your Sim can take on their friends in a game of foosball, or try on outfits together with the all-new Walk-in Closet. They’ll hang out and share experiences together in fun, new ways.

Friends:
-I want a coffee house. Not just for coffee, but a place for sims to gather to listen to musicians, or where bookworms gather to discuss their favorite books, (another way to score group relationship point and maybe inspiration that leads to rewards depending on which books were discussed). Writer's can meet with their writer's group to get inspiration for novels and improve their writing. Or simply a group of friends can gather just to touch base. And this coffee house serves coffee with a variety of energy and mood effects. It depends on the type. There is a coffee type that refills the energy bar, not just gives a delaying moodlet.
Imagine this:
A special group object that works like the fire pit.
But instead of roasting stuff, your group of sims are there to discuss the latest book, or meet with fellow writers to get a critique or give critiques of literary works in progress, or just meet with friends for a chat and snack.
Just click on the table and decide what kind of gathering to have: Book Club, Writer's group, or gathering of friends. Click on it again and you can choose what food and drinks will be served. Your sim will be charged for it, no need to make everyone go up to a cashier to buy food. Your sims will sit down and build relationship points, skill points, advancement in writing progress, and hunger satisfaction depending on the situation and need. A gathering will last for an hour or two.
It will need to be nicely animated for sim behaviors.
Groups:
Most importantly: Bring back the ability to manage groups. I want lists of friends to call up in a pinch to go out on the town. Perhaps it hasn't crossed EA mind, but it would be so awesome to create a list of 8 sims of a particular set of traits, career, skill set, or just whoever you want and ask them all out with one phone call. And forget about their schedules. If your sim's relationship is strong enough they should be able to call off work. That's just how special your sim is to them.
I just read about 64 x 64 lots. That's a big deal for me and a plus for this EP.
And I wonder what they mean by that."There's just something about Sims from Windenburg that makes you want to meet them all."

And yes the club thing sound awsome.
Phone cases might be one of the rewards for being in a club.
I wonder if sims have to go through a test or need some requirements to join groups
And we can have book clubs too
I didn't like the announcement though, very bad the presentation, didn't focus on selling the good of the EP

The first rule of nerd club is: You DO NOT talk about NERD CLUB.
I'd say yes but you probably have to have the sims in one household.
They can take as many ideas of mine as they want, as long as I get to play them.
Please make some fun group objects.
Now that I think about it, I did like that University Science project. Three sims working together for a common goal.
The Sims Studio should do more with group objects and add more game play depth.
I think it was just not detailed enough for people to realised that the three girls were a club.
I'm hoping for an EP that will really hook me, but I have to admit Get To Work did not hold my interest long.
