Hi, ive stumbled upon you by chance, this game looks really good and so much potential. Maybe you can even make series where you have a kid and move into another town? Because the town itself is amazing. For example, if you make a business, a bakery, then the town is very lack in agricultural, it might not suited. Then maybe you can make into some goal per generation? Like, one to build business, one to reach the top of career, and many more. I hope you can make this as series into your youtube channel, i like how you play this, not rushing, carefully learn things along the way… quick question, where did you set for socializing? I think i missed it..
Hi, thank you so much for taking the time to comment. 😊 As it happens, I have now started a new series, in a 'real' town so I can play with many more of the game's features. 🥳 Not sure how long the series will last, as I am not very good at planning so when it gets complicated things can go badly wrong quite quickly! But, if there's enough interest and I do manage to work it out, I hope to get far enough to help novice players understand at least the basics. 🤞 As for enabling socializing; if you click the first icon in the character panel ("Relations") or press 'Z' there's a little checkbox to turn on/off meeting people.
You asked how gender works when going to the stylist. At least for now, you can invite anyone to live with you as long as they have 50 or more opinion score. You can define if they are roommates, lovers or what not outside of the game. But if you look at a male's relationship panel a woman in the household will have a baby icon to make a baby. As of now that is how gender works. There are talks of offering adoption, so that may be implemented at some point. Personally, I like how it works, as we are not forced to define things so the player is free to use some imagination to form the story they want to. I think as far as you not finding a woman, it is just random, though it took me awhile to find a good one with compatibility, but there is plenty of time in the game to find a woman, and rain up her opinion. One thing to consider especially with big maps, when you look for new places to live or work is location. Sometimes it is better to take something less desirable that is by your job, than the perfect place clear across the city. And if you fail to get a job or they do not have the right one near you, wait a month and search again, you may get better pay or hours next month. Unfortunately, you can't do that with housing, or risk being homeless. When looking for a job I would click the white board icon on that screen, and it shows all available jobs in the game, also under search job you can order it by what your character likes, then you want to use both screens to plan out what you need. Many big careers will have low level entry points, that you can work towards your real job, a few will have degrees needed. I find it best to plan on a future job, and find jobs that give XP in the things you need. Of course, like real life, you will often start with a good plan and deviate as the game plays out. If you do a full series, on a larger map, a good plan can really add to the game. I think you are figuring out the game quite well. It's one of those you can fumble around a bit and not really lose too much, as there is plenty of time to change plans, work in something new. Feel free to set a smaller goal and adapt when you get there. One of the best things about this game is you can do anything, so there is no wrong way to play...though one of the worst things about this game is you can do anything, so that can be daunting, until you figure it out.
I'm sure trying to positively represent all the different lifestyles and situations people know in the 'real world' is quite a challenge, will be interesting to see how much diversity the game will eventually encompass. As for kids, adoption would be a great option to have. I don't think I mentioned it in the episode but I was thinking about location for the various activities, will need to be more tuned to that in future. And it's good to see that that more useful data presentation features are being added to the game - just need to get used to finding them! As for plans ... yeah, going off the rails is how most of my plans play out! 🤣
Unfortunately I've not got that far yet. 😕 But from what @colmortimer1066 has said, if a male has a good enough relationship with a female in your household the baby making option _should_ appear...
@@tawsh To get someone to move in you need 50 opinion, and it will unlock the button to invite them to move in. This will give you a new relationship tab for household. Then in the female's social menu, a little pacifier icon will be there next to the male, you just click on it and the next month, she will be pregnant, then after 9 months of a small pregnant de-buff you get a baby to take care of. As far as I am aware there is no randomness to it, if you click the have baby option you get one when the month turns over.
I’m sorry to bother you but you said I could possibly get I gift in your showrunner series and I gave you my email but I haven’t heard back from you and I want to know if I’m getting something or not
Hi, yes, I've got a little bag of keys for giveaways and would be very happy to reward your contribution. 👍 I don't recall seeing your Email anywhere, did you send it as a comment reply or direct to my Email? Talking of which ... I've just realised that RU-vid does not always show my Email on my 'About' page! 🤔 So, I've added a link to my Blog profile page on the 'About' info which _does_ give my Email address - www.blogger.com/profile/03541839927404604572
