Secret society

A secret society is a secret lot only available with the University expansion pack. There is one secret society lot located on the campus of each university. This lot is not visible. Once a secret society lot is placed in a custom university, it becomes hidden. Secret society lots also have career rewards and aspiration rewards from the University expansion pack and the base game.

Joining
Only young adult Sims can join a secret society. In order to join a secret society, the playable young adult Sim must become friends with at least three members of the secret society. Members sometimes wear a black blazer with a llama emblem on the front, but may also wear ordinary clothes. Keep in mind that the three friends do not necessarily have to be members of the original (i.e. pre-generated) secret society, playable Sims that join count towards the three friends as well. Once a Sim has befriended three Sims in the secret society, they will be arrested some time between 11pm and midnight by one of the police officers in a black Llama blazer (not a member of the secret society as one might think). The Sim to be arrested will stop whatever they are doing and wait for the officer. If the officer cannot get to the Sim, the scenario will be interrupted and the officer will leave. Even the "jockeying for position" tha SIms sometimes do before they interact is enough to interrupt the scenario and cause the officer to leave. Only one Sim per household can join the secret society per day, so if a household has two Sims that meet the requirement, only one will be taken.

For each of the pre-made universities, the game generates what is essentially the same group of characters, wearing the same "everyday" clothes, to be in the university's secret society. Like all other university townies, they will have randomly generated names. Additional townie secret society members are created if too many of the initial ones are made playable, killed off, etc.

Initially the Volauvent Society of Académie Le Tour has 7 members, three of whom wear blazers; the Landgraab Society of Sim State University has 10 members, none wearing blazers; and the LFT Society of La Fiesta Tech has 15 members, only one of whom will wear their blazer all of the time.

Some players have observed that, in a custom university with a secret society, the initial members of the society will look like the ones from Sim State University, but members of the other secret societies may be among them as well. Rather than being those Sims with yet another set of randomly generated names, they will be different Sims with different personalities.

To gain maximum advantage for joining the secret society, make sure the Sim who is joining is tired by 11pm, they will be re-energised on arrival at the secret society. It is also useful if the number of visiting Sims (i.e party guests) is quite high, this will be reflected in the number of secret society members who will meet a Sim at the secret society lot.
