- Not to be confused with Social class or Influence.
Social groups in The Sims 3: University Life are groups of townies. They consist of Jocks, Nerds, and Rebels. Being in a social group and doing compatible activities increases this social group hidden skill.
Social groups in The Sims 4 are types of social groups across multiple packs. So far packs that include a social group are The Sims 4: Get Together, The Sims 4: Discover University, and The Sims 4: Werewolves.
The Sims 3: University[]
Reaching level 8 in any social group unlocks an additional trait slot for the Sim. A trait related to the social group is proposed to fill this slot, but it may be exchanged for any other eligible trait. The original 5 traits and the university graduation trait cannot be edited during this selection, and the new social group trait must be compatible with those traits. Reaching level 8 in an additional social group permits the trait in the social group trait slot to be changed.
Dedicated lifetime rewards allow a Sim to buy more influence in the groups for 2,000 lifetime happiness per purchase, effectively making a Sim able to buy the extra trait slot for 12,000 lifetime happiness (if they're all purchased for the same group), and the group's career offer for 20,000 lifetime happiness.
