🚀 Getting Started

💡 First Steps

New sims start broke. Make money by:

• Using objects at money lots.
• Getting a job via computer/newspaper.

🟢 New players get double earnings on Welcome lots for 7 days (account age).

📍 Lot Types & Pricing (Edorado)

Prices go up if next to water. Base prices (surrounded by land):

Tip: Build near busy or spotlighted lots to attract traffic.

🏗️ Building Basics

Lots start small (12x12, 2 floors). You can upgrade:

• Lot size
• Floor count

Upgrades cost simoleons. Roommates help lower the cost.

🧾 Deeds

When buying a lot, you receive:

• Lot Deed: Land + walls/floors.
• Lot + Furniture: Owner’s items included. Roomie items not included.

Use F4 to open Property Mode for lot settings (description, bans, admit list).

🏷️ Lot Category

📌 You can only change your category once per week.

🪑 Furnishing Tips

• Furniture quality affects mood (room + object).
• Player stores often sell items up to 55% cheaper.
• Plan traffic: avoid tight hallways and clutter.
• Use rooms with clear roles (e.g., no toilet in kitchen).

🤝 Roommates

Up to 7 allowed. Roomies can:

• Enter without owner online
• Place and use own furniture
• Cook, restock, help guests

⚠️ Trust matters! Roomies can move or remove stuff.

🧍‍♂️ Hosting Sims

• Visitors need access to green-up objects.
• Use buffets, burgers, or cook manually.
• Creativity 8 = Serenade (energy + social)
• Friends 9 = Hustle (fast fun)
• Cooking 8 + Charisma 8 = Revitalize (resurrect)

💵 Tips & Costs

• Tip jars = most common payment
• 1 jar per sim; max §5,000 each
• Food/services cost money to restock
• Repairman = §100/hour (auto repair only)

🧼 Cleanliness & Damage

• Dirty = flies, roaches, lower mood
• Floods if toilets clog
• Objects break over time
• Higher Mechanical = safer repairs

🏆 Ranking #1

• Keep lot open and active
• High-quality furniture and layout
• Offer value (revives, food, fun)
• Greet and help visitors = return guests
• Ban trolls to protect your space

🏠 Purchasing a Property

You can own multiple properties per Sim. Each additional lot works independently, but only your first property can be relocated.

• Purchase 1st Property.
• Purchase 2nd Property.
• Purchase the rest of your Properties.

⚠️ Only your first property can be moved. "Where Is My Property" will only track that one!

🔁 Transferring Lot Ownership

You cannot transfer items along with the lot. Use trade transactions for item-less transfers.

If you're the only residents, moving out will auto-transfer ownership.

👫 Becoming a Roomie

You can be a roomie at multiple houses if you don’t own property. If you do, you can only room at one additional lot.

🏡 Lot Ownership Rules

Only way to kick roomies is in person via Transactions menu.

All owned properties share gameplay settings and permissions lists.

🔐 Property Permissions

All lots are open 24/7 unless modified with admit/ban lists.

Roomies with build permissions cannot be kicked unless their perms are revoked first.

🏷️ Property Categories

📌 How It Works

Each lot must pick a category. It affects:

• Which objects you can use
• Visitor bonuses
• Skill/money options

⚠️ You can only change category once every 7 days. Changing resets visitor hours.

📚 Category Overview

🔄 Switching Categories

1. Close or empty your property for 1 min.
2. Go to your Property Page and click your current category icon.
3. Select a new category. Read the info.
4. Confirm. Changes apply instantly.

⏳ Cooldown: 7 days before next change.

⚙️ Skill Gameplay Mode

On Service, Entertainment, and Romance lots, you can toggle:

• Enable skills/money for everyone
• Disable for visitors (roommates still earn)
• Disable completely

Change this from the Property Page by clicking the “Skill Gameplay” toggle under the roommate list.

💰 Making Money

New players get boosted income for 7 days (based on account age).

• Use "Welcome" lots for this bonus.

• Look for a job (click here to read about)🔗

🔹 Single Money Objects (SMOs)

👥 Group Money Objects (GMOs)

• Code Machine: 3 sims; $10k per code (first 7 days), $5k after. Use external code solver (SimNation Launcher).


Code Solver on SimNation Launcher

• Pizza Machine: 4 sims; mix ingredients to earn.
• Band Machine: 4 sims; play music in order. Cash out to avoid risk.

💼 Jobs

Sims can earn Simoleons and skills by working one of four unique jobs. Each job has different requirements, skill focuses, and shift structures. You’ll start at the bottom and work your way up through promotions. Jobs are a great way to socialize, roleplay, and make money.

📋 Getting Hired

Use a computer or newspaper and select Look for Job. Jobs rotate daily. If you don’t see the one you want, check again the next Sim day.

🏭 Robot Factory

Skills: Logic, Mechanical
Shift: 9 AM – 5 PM
Rounds: 4x 10min rounds + 1min breaks

Build robots on a production line. Each Sim activates their station before the robot passes. Watch for breakdowns! Diagnose and repair broken stations using tools. Robots explode if blocked too long, which kills nearby Sims. High Logic/Mechanical = faster, safer work.

• Arrive before shift starts or wait 10min for next round.
• Follow the robot's path, coordinate who handles which station.
• Use Diagnose > Get Tool > Repair for breakdowns.
• Explosions happen if a machine jams and robots pile up.
• 1 robot per round is enough to count for promotion progress.

🍽️ Restaurant

Skills: Charisma
Shift: 11 AM – 7 PM
Rounds: 4x 10min rounds + 1min breaks

Seat customers, take orders, place tickets, deliver food, and give checks. Work as a team to cover the floor, counter, and booths. Socializing with customers increases tips. Use property chat to call out orders.

• Seat customers fast and take full orders.
• Use the POS machine to send tickets to the kitchen.
• Deliver food from the kitchen table to correct tables.
• Place checks to get paid. Missed checks = no tip.
• Keep green and chat with customers to increase payout.

🎧 DJ Club

Skills: Creativity, Body
Shift: 2 PM – 10 PM
Rounds: 4x 10min rounds + 1min breaks

Spin tracks and hype the crowd. Sims take turns at the DJ booth and dance floor. Teamwork and rhythm matter. The DJ sets the beat, while dancers follow and energize the party. Proper sync earns higher payouts.

• Alternate between DJing and dancing roles.
• Watch prompts and timing to sync performance.
• Creativity boosts DJ time; Body improves dance energy.
• Don't skip your turn or the round suffers.

💃 Dance Club

Skills: Body
Shift: 5 PM – 1 AM
Rounds: 4x 10min rounds + 1min breaks

Entertain the crowd by dancing. Use back cracks, flying hugs, and hustle moves to keep Sims engaged. Dancing boosts Body skill and can be used for contests or social performance jobs.

• Keep moving — idle dancers reduce performance score.
• Use high-energy interactions to hype the room.
• Switch up actions for variety.
• Encourage others and stay on rhythm with group dance.

📈 Promotions

To be promoted:

• Maintain green mood.
• Meet required skill and friend levels.
• Complete enough rounds at current level.

You’ll get a popup showing progress and what’s needed next. Miss too many requirements? You’ll be demoted one level and must repeat rounds to earn it back.

💡 Tips

• Lock required skills at 10.00 to avoid skill decay demotions.
• Keep up daily contact with friends to maintain friendship scores.
• Use green-up time before shifts (ideally 2 hours before).
• Work with others who know what they’re doing to avoid chaos.
• Ignore disruptive Sims to block future job sessions with them.

🛠️ Crafting Info

Crafting allows Sims to build exclusive items using components and skills. You’ll need a Thumbhammer Workbench (found in Skill & Job Objects) and a Services category lot to get started.

🧰 Components

You’ll need these to craft:

• Box of Wood: Needed in most recipes.
• Bolt of Cloth: Comfort items like sofas or beds.
• Box of Spare Parts: Electronics and mechanical items.

🔧 Salvaging Items

Get components by salvaging items you own. Click an item, choose "Salvage", confirm, and hope for parts. Salvaging depends on object value, age, and your Sim’s Logic, Creativity, and Mechanical skills.

🔨 Crafting Process

Click on a Workbench and pick an item to craft. You’ll use Simoleons and components. If successful, the item appears in your inventory marked with "Crafted by: [Your Sim]".

📋 Crafting Requirements

💡 Crafting Tips

• Green your Sim (especially Hygiene, Energy, Hunger) before crafting.
• You can attempt crafting without full skills/components — just expect failures.
• Exceeding the required skill increases success rates.
• Crafted objects are often rarer than catalog items and sell for more.

🌾 Farming & Gardening

Grow vegetables (tomatoes, carrots, etc) and berries (grapes, elderberries).

They produce salads and nectars that white your needs.

🐔 Chickens

Buy chicks or adult chickens. Feed them to prevent death. They produce eggs used for baking.

To lay eggs or hatch chicks, chickens must meet the following attribute thresholds:

• Eggs: Mood ≥ 75 (based on (Energy + Hunger) / 2), Energy ≥ 75, Hunger ≥ 75
• Chicks: Same as above plus Social ≥ 50 and at least one nearby chicken

When these conditions are met, there's a small chance (under 1%) per server tick for eggs to spawn.

How to boost chicken stats:

• Pet: Sets Energy to 100
• Hand-feed: Sets Hunger to 100
• Sleeping: Raises Energy to 100
• Auto-feeding: Raises Hunger to 100
• Nearby chickens: Raise Social to 100

💧 Irrigation

Use sprinklers/sprayers. Manual watering also works.

Sprinklers are more efficient than manual watering. They cover a larger area and require less maintenance.

Sprinkler range

🌱 Super Vegetables

Rare giant crops that transform your Sim into a giant. Too many = 💀

🍰 Cooking & Baking

🥗 Salads

1 of each veggie (tomato, bean, carrot, lettuce) + salad station = powerful food.

🍇 Nectar

Use 5 grapes + 5 elderberries, press them, and use nectar bar.

• Grape Nectar: 4 bottles pressed grapes
• Elderberry Nectar: 4 elderberries
• Honey Nectar: 2 grapes + 2 elderberries

🎂 Cakes

Use eggs + 3x butter. Requires Baker’s Oven and Cooking level 8+.

Some spoil—serve those first!

🎣 Fishing

A salty breeze rolls in from the coast of Eldorado... and with it, a new skill: Fishing!

Catch up to 28 unique fish, each with their own traits, value, and surprises.

🛠️ How to Start

Fishing requires crafting one of the objects below using the Crafting Table:

• Fishing Boat: Fish in open water.
  🔧 20 Wood, 10 Cloth, §10,000

🕯️ Waxmaking

To make wax efficiently, it's best to have a high Cooking skill. This allows your Sim to complete more wax stations before needing a break. While producing wax, there's also a chance to collect honey. Both wax and honey can be sold or saved for future use.

Each use of a Wax Station takes about 55 seconds and yields one wax bar, sometimes with an extra jar of honey. Wax is essential to crafting candles at the Wax Craft Bench.

To craft candles, your Sim must have level 20 in Cooking, Logic, and Creativity. Each candle requires 20 wax bars and costs §5,000 per crafting attempt. Higher skill levels increase your chance of success.

There are five candle types to craft, and if you're lucky, you may create the ultra-rare Golden Toilet!

🛠️ Stations

• Wax Station: Produces wax bars (and sometimes honey)
• Wax Craft Bench: Used to craft candles using 20 wax bars

🕯️ Types of Candles

• Gold Candle
• Green Candle
• Candle Border
• Skull Candle
• Candle Assortment

🎁 Rare Item

With luck, crafting candles may result in the 🟡 Golden Toilet.

⚠️ Hygiene & Comfort

Waxmaking quickly drains Hygiene and Comfort. With high Cooking skill, your Sim can complete up to 9 wax stations in a row before needing to sleep. You can repeat this process 4–5 times without showering if all other needs are in the white. If not, this strategy becomes less effective.

🌳 Mystic Tree

🔮 What Is It?

The Mystic Tree is exactly what it sounds like: a tree with magical properties. Once placed from your inventory and watered, it will grow into one of three types: Apple, Orange, or Lemon.

You can water or view the tree (viewing gives Fun and Comfort). After a full fruit cycle, you can eat the fruit to gain rewards, then the tree resets to its dormant state.

💧 How to Grow It

To grow your Mystic Tree, keep it watered. There are 3 ways to do this:

• Manual: Click the tree and select "Water."
• Gardener: Waters every 3 days. Manual watering may still be needed.
• Irrigation: Use a sprinkler or sprayer + irrigation control for scheduled watering.

💡 Water it every game day (~2 real-life hours) for best results.

🍏 Fruit Rewards

After proper care, the tree enters a fruiting cycle with three fruit stages:

• New Fruit: Green, boosts all motives slightly.
• Mature Fruit: More potent motive boost.
• Ripe Fruit: Grants +1 random skill point.

Once eaten, the tree returns to dormant and must be watered again to restart the cycle.

🕒 Growth Timeline

The full cycle takes roughly 22 real-life hours:

• Dormant: 2h15
• Bloom: 4h30
• New Fruit: 6h15
• Mature Fruit: 9h15
• Ripe Fruit: ~

🌳 Tree Types

Your Mystic Tree will randomly be one of these types:

• 🍎 Apple Tree
• 🍊 Orange Tree
• 🍋 Lemon Tree

🖼️ Growth Stages (Visual)

Each Mystic Tree visually evolves through its stages:

• Dormant
• Bloom
• New Fruit
• Mature Fruit
• Ripe Fruit

🎯 Whiting Needs

Fastest to slowest:

• Nectar 🍇
• Salads 🥗
• Baked Goods 🍰
• Pet Ghost 👻 (Fun + Social)
• Cow Plant 🐄 (Fun + Social)
• Cotton Candy Machine 🍬 (Hunger + Fun)

💡 On Service, Skill, Welcome, Romance, and Entertainment lots, you can white all needs!

💀 Death

📖 Introduction

Death in SimNation is a quirky, supernatural experience that adds flavor to gameplay. It’s entirely optional and reversible. Whether you're into spooky fun or just curious about ghosts and revival, death offers entertaining scenarios without permanent consequences.

☠️ Terminal Methods

• Electrocution: Repairing broken electronics with low Mechanical skill and low motives.
• Drowning: Falling asleep while swimming with low Energy.
• Starvation: Neglect Hunger over 5–6 real hours. Can also occur during Crafting.
• Explosion: Working at the Robot Factory. Get caught near a malfunctioning robot.

👻 Being a Ghost

Ghosts can:

• Use interactions like Spook, Possess, and Headless Haunt
• See cause of death with a special animation
• Interact with other ghosts normally
• Access inventory (limited), but can't use most objects

⚠️ Motives are locked in decay (except Room), and can’t be raised unless interacting with other ghosts.

✨ Getting Revitalized

There are two ways to return to life:

• Wait: 24 Sims hours (~2 real hours) to receive revival prompt.
• Shaman: A Sim with 8 Cooking & 8 Charisma can perform Revitalize.

Shamans must be green and have enough space around them. Best spots: outdoors or street tiles. The revival takes ~1 minute and brings all motives (except Room) to half-green.

🪦 Tombstones & Urns

Dying leaves a marker:

• Urns: Indoor deaths
• Tombstones: Outdoor deaths (3 sizes)
• No marker: Death at Robot Factory

Tombstones and urns are Build Mode items and count toward lot limit. They can’t be sold. At your own home, you can move them. Others control graves on their lots.

They include a Mourn interaction that drains Social and adds roleplay flair.
