EA Maxis announces the release of the Get Together expansion for The Sims 4, their wee people simulation. Here's word on the add-on, which requires the base game to play:

It’s time for your Sims to get together with their friends in The SimsTM 4. Today, Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:EA) announced that The Sims 4 Get Together Expansion Pack* is now available on PC and Mac® in North America. For the first time, players can create and play with groups of Sims as they explore the beautiful European-inspired world of Windenburg.

Brand new to The Sims 4, players can introduce their Sims to a variety of different Clubs, featuring Sims with distinct interests, personalities, and styles. If players can’t find the perfect Club for their Sims, they can create and customize their own Clubs to play any way they like.

“With the introduction of Clubs, The Sims 4 Get Together unlocks a new way to play with life,” says Lyndsay Pearson, Senior Producer, The Sims 4. “This is the first time that players can control entire groups of Sims, and bring Sims together to participate in all-new group activities. Clubs fundamentally changes the way you control your Sims and adds a whole new dimension to The Sims 4.”

Windenburg is a new world, with picturesque locations for players’ Sims to explore, such as the sprawling hedge maze at the Von Haunt Estate, stunning pools along the Bluffs, and the mysterious ancient ruins. It is also a great world for socializing with all new venues and hangouts for Sims to practice their DJ and Dancing skills.

Players can take their Sims to local hotspots to gossip over a delicious espresso at the café, play games with their pals in the pub, dance the night away at the disco, and more! In The Sims 4 Get Together, there’s always something fun for Sims, and their friends, to do, together.

The Sims 4 Get Together is rated ‘T’ for Teen by the ESRB and is available for $39.99 on PC and Mac on OriginTM, and at retail stores. For more information, please visit www.TheSims.com/get-together.
