Fanon:The Genesis Project

Welcome to The Genesis Project. After years of abductions and experiments on the citizens of SimNation, we have finally found a way to create a species of single gender Sims. The process of altering the make up code of a Sim is very extensive and difficult. We have found that the least number of Sims required to make a self-sustaining population while still keeping it genetically diverse is eight. So eight male Sims have been abducted, altered, and had their memories wiped clean before placing them on a vacant world. They have been programmed to ensure that they keep the population going. Since this world is truly vacant of any other Sims, there are no Townies or NPCs (expect for the few the game generates, but they will not play any part until a few generations later when the population would allow for such Sims.)

In the beginning, Sims could only make money from their home business. Since this was they only way to purchase items, Sims could only buy what others were selling. Then once there was enough to create a real estate agency and buy other community lots, other Sims were able to own community lot businesses. When a community lot of a specific type was created, the career track of that same type (i.e. a restaurant for the Culinary Career) could then be joined by other Sims. Being employed at another business is always an option, but only if the business can afford it.

 * Businesses owned: Matt's Bakery, Restaurant and Bakery

 * Businesses owned: Kyle's Pottery, Ceramic Store and two empty lots: 423 W Main St and 505 S Business Loop

 * Taylor Family: 563 Middle Row and 409 W Main St #3 - The Taylor family was started by Luke Taylor and is responsible to do all of the sewing for the community.

 * Businesses owned: Luke's Taylor, Rugs and Things, Designer Fashion and Fabrics Shop

Note About Dates
For the purpose of the Genesis Project, dates will be written as an in game style. The format will be "the season's number"/"how many days left in that season"/"what is the current cycle of seasons, ie year". Since the progression of seasons is Spring-Summer-Fall-Winter, the first day of the Genesis Project is 2/1/1 (which reads as followed: Summer with 1 day left, of the first year). Also, a calendar can be found here.
