Details

Items
•Food - Increases your health.
•Cars - Move around faster.
•Motorcycle - Move around even faster and get through narrow alleys.
(Note that all vechiles can be stolen by any human players.)

Stores and Places
•Grocery
••Enter the store and you will be transformed into a Customer (SCV). Use the scv to pick up the items you want to buy and bring it to the cash register. You cannot steal it due to triggers. You can also apply for a job at this place. Place your Customer unit on the Apply/Quit beacon. When a certain unit runs out, it will display a notice. Bring the Restocking Boxes (units) onto the orginal product box. Then, it will transform into the product. All food cost 2 dollars each.

•Bus Stops
••To tell if it's a bus stop, there will always be a Zealot that says "Bus Stop." Stand next to him and he will tell you when the bus will arrive. Usually it's 10 minutes each bus but in some areas, it's different. You can be a bus driver as a job. But, you need to arrive at stops on time.

•CarMax Automobile Shop
••Buy vechiles here. You can only buy motorcycle and car. SUV always say that it is out of stock. I just did this to save triggers and make it more fancy. Also, you cannot work there. But, I may consider adding a mechanic shop next to it for repairing vechiles. Motorcycle cost 80 dollars and car cost 100 dollars. It may subject to change.

•Pubic Restrooms
••You can work here as a janitor. You clean messes made by people. (Ugh! puke.gif)
It supplies everything for hygeine.

Is Grocery Store the only job we can get, or are you going to add more?
Report, edit, etc...Posted by ... on 2005-12-10 at 23:09:08
I will add more of course. wink.gif

It wouldnt be the best sim game ever if you can only get one job.

Can you give us some information on how you actually Work at the jobs. Like how would you earn money at grocery store, not just Deliver Groceries or w/e you do in RL. I mean like how do u do it in Starcraft.

When you enter a store, you will be transformed into a SCV called Customer. Bring the customer into the Apply/Quit Job beacon. You will be transformed into a Probe called Clerk (Which I may change the name to Worker or Staff). A text will tell you what to do. Sometimes, it will say you get paid every <minutes> or every time you do something. For the grocery store, you earn 5 dollars every time you restock. When a certain product runs out. It will display a notice only if you are a clerk. 3 units will appear. Bring them into the product spot where it just ran out of stock and it will transform into the certain product. This would be different if I can just create powerups which you can't.

When you purchase an item, it will make a unit in the inventory at bottom left. Bring the unit onto the beacon at the top of the inventory to use that item.

You still need to take care of yourself.

Happiness - You die of depression when it reaches 0.
Hygeine (sp?) - You die of rats and/or vultures who eat you because you smell so good to them when it reaches 0.
Intelligence - You need to go to college or buy books to maintain intelligence. You die of stupidity when you get run over by a car if you don't know how to do things when it reaches 0.

I would like to hear some more suggestions for the things above (hygeine, etc.)

Hope that explains, Shady.Aftermath. smile.gif

Hmm, but I like my system. In real life, you need to come in the building and talk to the manager or someone to apply for a job not in a separate place. (usually)

I'm going to make an arcade. I want ideas for games. I need 4 games thats it. Here is what I got:

-Dance Dance Revolution

This game is not based on the Sims. It is based on the Starcraft game called Life of a Civilian but without glitches and much better stuff.

Also, the arcade is the palce where you can play mini games to win money.

I have been giving suggestions, Because every question will be answered when in it's finished. You could also have some cops, and then some criminals... but not many. Maybe one or two.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by ... on 2005-12-11 at 21:51:26
Of course there will be criminals. You can even be one. wink.gif

I will add police station. Whenever you rob a bank, police will automatically send out troops to take you to jail.

Once you're in jail, you need to pay 100 dollars to bail out or get someone to pay for you. (Human players only)

But, when you escape before the police arrives, you're lucky. They just go back to their station.

It's not really a RPG. I would call it a Simulation game.

Well in my oppinion, if you can buy stuff and mve around its an rpg... but I guess I'll start calling it a simulation game.

Dam, could you make a kind of homeless thing? I.E there is a broken couch (you can rest on it) out the back of the shop, and you could use the stuffed up shower in the (making in up here) pools or gym, and you could buy or make food from shops! smile.gif
