Warning: It may sound familiar to all of you. And there are cross-overs between expansion packs of the Sims 1 and a Sims 2 functionality has been added.

In the world of Aerodu, you lead lives and interact with other characters and NPCs in the world.
______________________________________________

You may hold any of these career lines but only 1 at a time (new ones will appear either on demand or as the plot advance):

Business: Trade (buys, sells in gross and detail)

Medicine: Healthcare (implicit)

Science: Research and development, engineering

Law Enforcement: The name says it all

Military: Combat of any type

Sports (choosing extreme or not would make them different career lines), music, show-business: Entertainment (type differs depending on the career line you choose)

Politics: The name says it all yet again

Journalism: News reports of any kind

Computer science: Hardware and software

Cooking: Food supply

Oh and there are 10 ranks for each career line, each having its own wages. You always start a line as a rank-1 character and the first two ranks require no specific skills. However, whenever you think you're ready to undertake the promotion to a rank-3 or higher, I'll post in the needed skills and friends, as well as the wages.

You can find rank-1 jobs in the newspaper (1 per day) or on the Web (3 per day).
________________________________________________

Skills:

Cooking: Affects how good is your food (can be developed by cooking and by using the home lab)

Mechanics: Affects how well you repair things (can be developed by repairing and making garden dwarves)

Charisma: Affects how well you play society games (can be developed by playing society games or rehearsing in front of a mirror)

Body: Affects how well you fare in unarmed fights and hand-to-hand fights (in case you have a BIG quarrel with someone) (can be developed by bench pressing and swimming)

Logic: Affects how well you play logic games and you prepare potions in home labs (can be developed by playing logic games and by using the home lab)

Creativity: Affects how good is your art, writing or music (can be developed by playing a musical instrument, by writing in the computer or by painting)

The higher your skill level, the longer it takes to develop it. Everyone starts at 0 (they range from 0 to 10) in every skill listed above.
________________________________________________

Money: Several ways exist to earn the cash:

- By your daily grind in a career line
- By selling stories across the Web or art (you have to do so before you can make another story/painting)
- By selling garden dwarves
- By random events (on the phone)

You start the game with $3,000, inside a home who possess the basic commodities: telephone, kitchen, table, TV, bed, bathroom, all of them at the basic tier. You can acquire superior-tiers equipment whenever you feel ready. However, when your money reach 0, you cannot buy anything (not even food!).

Bills come every 7 days and are calculated using the usury and value level of your current equipment and home.
________________________________________________

Needs: 0 means it is fully satisfied. Needs increments in number means it is more or less satisfied (when a need indicator reach 100, it means it sorely needs to nullify said need)

Hunger: can be nullified by eating. Several actions increase your hunger faster than others (swimming increase hunger faster than writing stories on a computer, for instance)

Comfort: can be nullified by sleeping, sitting down on any kind of chair/couch or taking a bath (showers will increase it instead). Increases over the time spent upright.

Hygiene: can be nullified by taking a bath/shower and washing hands. Increases over time (some activities, like painting/bench pressing/extinguishing fires at home, will make it increase faster than others)

Bladder: can be nullified by going to the toilets. Eating will make it increase faster than anything else.

Fun: Can be nullified by various means:
- Any kind of games
- Watch TV
- The action Play on a computer
- Painting
- Performing music of any kind

Increases over time.

Social: Can be nullified by interpersonal interaction (NPC-to-player is fine). Increases over time.
