Expanded Gym

This is the first one of a series I mean to do to expand upon the community venues offered by the game. Vanilla Plus are mods meant to blend seamlessly with Vanilla game without standing out as modded content. There is no overcomplicated micromanaging.

Maxis oldest community lots are boring and mostly useless, they haven't touched or improved them much from the launch of the game and this is where I step in.

This mod requires the Core Library and Injection Tools.

UPDATES: 

July 2025 Patch

FEATURES

In Brief: This mod makes the Gym more interesting by preventing entry until you pay to use the equipment and introducing a Gym Membership system and a Gym receptionist to the venue. Add a computer and the Front Desk from Get To Work to the Gym, and the receptionist will utilise them; Get To Work is not required for the mod to work because the role does not require the front desk.

The use of the Gym is blocked until you pay:

This means that you cannot workout or even use the showers or lockers until you purchase a Day Pass or a Membership

Receptionist added to the Gym venues:

A Receptionist will now be present along with the Gym Trainer when you visit the lot. You can purchase Memberships and Day Pass from them, ask about the different packages and manage your existing membership

There are 4 options to unlock the Gym:

  • Day pass: only unlocks the equipment as long as you stay on the lot, if you leave and go back, you’ll have to pay again.

  • Silver membership: 7 days access to the Gym

  • Gold Membership: 14 days access to the Gym

  • Platinum Membership: 28 days access to the Gym

The price changes depending on…

Bracing Breezes lot trait changes the type of Gym:

Adding the lot trait makes the Gym a Premium Gym:

A membership purchased on a lot with the Bracing Breezes trait will be valid in all the Gyms, while a membership purchased in a lot without the trait is only valid in lots without the trait. You can upgrade the membership by talking to the Receptionist.

New App on the phone:

Memberships can be purchased and managed with the phone too, this is a backup plan in case the receptionist doesn’t show up.

Extending a Membership:

Before a membership expires, an option will show up on the receptionist or the phone to extend it for another 7, 14 or 28 days.

You can also set up an automatic renewal system that extends the membership without your intervention if your Sim has enough money. 

Bonus and Easter Eggs

New options are added for members of the Gym to the trainer too:

You can ask them for personalised advice and they’ll give you a bonus to lose weight or build muscles.

Easter egg for Celebrity Sims: there are two hidden ways to get into the Gym for free.

Oh this is a simple mod that doesn't touch Maxis features, it just blocks the gym, so it should work with everything,

Just a small question, my Sims have devices at home, they are rich, they can not use them without a subscription, is this normal? It's their home, thanks for your help;)

No, the buff got stuck. There is a cheat "unlock gym" in the cheat menu, use that, the buff will not be added again

Will non- played sims showing up at gyms have to be members? I'm guessing not? I have a couple of clubs that populate my gyms.

NPCs are excluded! They can use the gym just like without the mod
