Shared neighborhood - ground rules
simmiecal:
I thought we could start posting ideas about what ground rules we would want to have in the shared neighborhood. Once we get several ideas together, we can do a vote to determine which ones will actually be in the game.
I'll start:
I'd like to ban the exlir of life from the neighborhood. I'd like us to develop and live out each sim "life" without artificially extending any age. This is something I started doing in my own game. Each simmie has a story: some can't get enough time to skill and take longer to get promotions. For some, their careers take a backseat to having children because - like in real life - they're not getting any younger and if they're going to pop out a couple of simmies, they better get started.
Motoki:
I agree with this except I feel like if a sim gets a want to drink someone we should be able to fullfill that want. What do you think about that?
Baa:
No purposely deleting other peoples homes. And if someone does somehow get deleted, do not upload the neighborhood. Because if everyone downloaded that, nobody would have the lost family.
So basically, if the hood get's corrupted, don't upload it. Common sense.
And no, I don't mean dead Sims. If a sim dies, let 'em die.
Assmitten:
How about an agreement not to maliciously kill off our created sims? I think there should be a ground rule about NPCs too...maybe to not kill ones who are engaged to our Sims? Other NPCs could be fair game.
I like the idea of creating stories as we go along, but maybe there can be small update to hand off to the next sim--"Joe Carr is in love with Motoki" or so-and-so is furious with Brynne.
Motoki:
Here's my take on some rules, feel free to disagree!
I think any non-playable sim that is not engaged to or going steady with a playable sim should be fair game to do whatever the heck we want to up to and including offing them. Playable sims should definitely be off limits for purposely offing. Natural death is fine and accidents are too and should be allowed to happen. I will trust that you guys won't arrange "accidents". :P
I think pleading for a sims life is okay but the resurrect-o-nomitron is not, otherwise what the heck's the point of death? Personally, I'm in favor of disallowing the aspiration rewards entirely as I find them too cheat-ish and they remove any challenge.
