Secret society: Difference between revisions

 

If ''[[The Sims 2: Nightlife|Nightlife]]'' or later is installed, the player is able to access a Sim's [[inventory]], so it is possible for the playable Sim to take objects on the Secret Society lot home with them. Also, objects in the playable Sim's inventory can be placed on the lot. If ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business|Open for Business]]'' or later is installed, [[door]]s can be locked, though they normally cannot be locked on community lots. If ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons|Seasons]]'' is installed, the season on the secret society lot will not change with the season on the visiting Sim's home lot.

 

==Joining==

[[File:Sim abducted by Secret society.jpeg|thumb|A Sim abducted by the secret society.]]

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" that 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 [[townie]]s, 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.

 

 

To gain maximum advantage for joining the secret society, make sure the Sim who is joining is tired by 11pm, they will be re-energized 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.

 

Once a Sim has joined the Secret Society, he or she can return to the lot by using a phone and choosing "Transportation...Go to Secret Society".
