The Sims.​

Welcome to the Sims RP. This is a "Lesiure RP"[Thanks to XSephirothX for his expression "Leisure RP"]​

This is not a complicated RP. The money system will be kind of complicated but you will get the hang of it after awhile ^^. You start in a Neighborhood and work your way up through life like you do in the Sims. Have parties with friends,go to parties,get married, Sim stuff. This is a highly interactive RP. It's not a battle RP or anything like that. It's just to explore yours and other characters personalites and possibley improve new RPers RPing skills. Now let me tell you now, the money system is highly intertwined with alot of things in the RP. You wanna buy a new car for your character? you have to get a job.(Thanks to Mitsuki for the "Money System" idea ^^) But this is just the introduction there is ALOT more to cover. But dont worry, bare with me! let me warn you now, this is a RP that will be changing probably quite often, with updates and improvements to the money system and just the RP in general, when one of these updates happens I will post a GM post on this thread.​

Welcome to the Neighborhood.​

So basicly as a character you live in a large Neighborhood where you can make friends go to friends houses and all the stuff you would do in a normal life. Now dont think you have just one Neighborhood to be limited to. There is a highschool, a grocery store, a gas station ect ect. You have pretty much complete freedom to do whatever you want. Except just by stuff as much as you want without paying XD All the stores and things are outside the Neighborhood in town, there is also a Walmart XD.​

Now down to the hard part:​

time for....THE MONEY SYSTEM...DUN DUN DUN!!​

The Money System.​

This is where things get abit complicated. Now, mind you the MS will most likely under-go changes as the RP goes on.​

Now the first Rule is: Everything costs money!(atleast almost everything)​

Now the job you have will obviously involve money. Say your character works every day or only some days. If they work everyday[Post everyday with your character going to work] Say your character works almost the entire day[most of your post describes how you were at work all day] Now the jobs you have will have different paychecks.​

'

-You work all day[One Or Two Posts]
-You get payed about 7$ dollars an hour-
Everyhour is about 2 posts-
So say two posts is about your work-[An hour passes]
You get payed 7$
You do another two posts[Work]
Then you have 14$​

get it?​

Sorry if that was hard to understand. It will probably change in the future[Mitsuki is helping me with this RP] Or sorry if you think system sounds like crap, if it does I will seek guidance. Feel free to make suggestions. Another thing about the MS. Places wont always be hiring so you have to take advantage of them when they are. I will post GM notices whenever places are hiring or stop hiring.​

I will start you off all with 1000 dollars each so you aren't broke at the beginning. It is likely I will have real life items for sale in the RP. so like if you wanted to by a Xbox360 you would have to pay 400$. So then you would be down to 600$.​

Now again I will say this RP will always be changing and hopefully getting better over time.​

Now on to the easiest part so far.​

I'm definitely joining this one, but first, I think there still needs some adjustments and questions. xD

Ok for the appearance, can we just choose whatever then? Like, anime character...? Or does it have to be a Sims character? And...what's the difference between a "bio" and "backstory"?


As for the Money System...that's actually a little confusing. =/ What I had in mind was that to start it off, you actually post jobs every now and then it'll be a first-come, first-serve basis. (Of course, the type of jobs would be nothing permanent since everyone will only be starting out). So for instance, let's say on Monday you post up 5 jobs.


Job Listings:

Car Wash - (Paycheck: $10 - $30, depending on the vehicle.)
Flyer handouts - (Paycheck: $20)
Baby-sitting - (Paycheck: $20 - $50)
Mowing lawns - (Paycheck: $20 - $50)
Taking dogs out for a walk - (Paycheck: $20)
Etc.

The jobs would have to be something that teenagers would do, and nothing consisting of retail or department store jobs yet since that would come later on as the RP progresses. But yeah, people would have to look for job listings and they can only pick TWO jobs per day (two different posts). They can still post as many times as they want a day so they can interact with the other characters though, but as far as doing jobs, it's TWO jobs per day so the other characters can have a chance to do some as well.

Now, depending on the member's post description about the job...the more detailed and lengthy the post is, the higher the pay. So for instance, let's say the maximum pay for baby-sitting is $50 dollars overall. If my post is detailed and lengthy enough, I have a good chance of receiving the full $50 amount. But if my post is somewhat lacking and not as good, then the payout might be $20.

You can post 5 - 10 jobs in the "Jobs Listings" and you can update it as you wish. You can even post the same jobs too. But keep in mind, you should try to keep the paycheck kinda high too, and maybe make a few $100 jobs.


Then as the RP progresses and the character receives a good amount of cash (let's say when a character reaches $2,000 - 3,000?), he can then move out of his parent's house and finally start a "new life" of his own and move on to a bigger job, which will then generate some "cashflow" and that's when the real cash comes in. The jobs would be much different then and it'll be more permanent, with "promotions" included and a "raise" every now and then.


Anyway, there's more stuff into this, such as food, and the cost, etc. It can be quite a big RP, but that's why it's really hard to implement this kind of RP since it's so broad.
