Back in my obsessively playing RimWorld era lol, so here are my pawns as sims.

Nick finally met someone who flirted back, lol.

And then, of course...

your face when you suddenly remember something you forgot to do.

Nick's became the biggest frog (and other shit he found) distributor in Henford-on-Bagley. And yes, I don’t sell anything through inventory, so almost every day he goes to the park and stands there for hours, selling everything he can.

Sounds like a fun gameplay mechanic.

Of course, no problem.

My mechanics are almost the same as in real life. For example, we can either buy a pre-built house or get some land and build our own. and when we build a house, we don’t just build one room and then keep adding another and another, right?

First, the foundation is laid according to a floor plan. In my game, this costs 3,000 simoleons for a small house, 5,000 for a medium-sized house like Nick’s, and 10,000+ for a large house. Next, I put in the columns, load-bearing walls, and stairs, and then the second floor if needed. That also isn’t free and costs around the same as the foundation.

Then come the walls, and finally the roof (also not free, anywhere from 2,000 to 10,000 depending on the roofing). Only after that are the water and electricity connected, which means removing the “off the grid” lot challenge, and that costs around 5k.

All of this is because I don’t like when my sims get rich and have nowhere to spend the money, so I add an extra cost to almost everything in my game 😅 It makes the game harder, but for me it’s more engaging since I play on a custom long-ish lifespan. Right now it looks like this. I used that black flat fence to outline the floorplan. And the door is there only because sims apparently need to knock, otherwise they can’t consider themselves guests.
