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.)

Until there is a large enough population with businesses that can afford to offer a career track (i.e. a restaurant for the Culinary Career), they cannot take on a job. They can, however, run a home business and/or be employed by a business. They cannot have a community lot business since there is no one to sell it to them until there is a Real Estate Agency. When they do have community lot businesses, they will need to have enough to be able to build it up to be able to sell things on top of their home business. Except for a few items here and there, items must be purchased from other businesses.

Families

 * As of Chapter 13
 * Population: 37 Sims


 * Harper Family: 437 Middle Row - The Harper Family was started by Tyler Harper and is responsible to do all the artwork as well as all the record and financial keeping for the community. It is unclear how or why it occurred, but they are the wealthiest family of the entire project.
 * Family Wealth: §293,785
 * Family Members: Tyler Harper, David Harper, Jim Harper, Chad Harper, Lee Harper, Brad Harper and Corbin Harper
 * Businesses owned: Tyler's Art, Real Estate, Jim's Music, Art Gallery, Cemetery, School and 6 undeveloped lots


 * Carpenter Family: 738 S Main St - The Carpenter Family was started by Sean Carpenter and is responsible to do all the carpentry work and the fitness aspect for the community. It is obvious due to their name that they were programmed to be carpenters, but for whatever reason they also became focused on the fitness well-being of the community as well.
 * Family Wealth: §188,882
 * Family Members: Alex Carpenter, Drew Carpenter, George Carpenter and Jacob Carpenter
 * Businesses owned: Sean's Fitness, Rec Center, and Carpentry


 * Fisher Family: 710 S Main St - The Fisher Family was started by Chris Fisher and is responsible to do all the fishing for the community. It is unclear how or why it occurred, but they are the poorest family of the entire project.
 * Family Wealth: §122,756
 * Family Members: Nick Fisher, Andrew Fisher, Thomas Fisher, Ed Fisher and Caleb Fisher
 * Businesses owned: Chris' Fishes and Meat Market


 * Baker Family: 709 S Main St - The Baker Family was started by Matt Baker and is responsible to do all the cooking for the community. The Sims of the project have greatly appropriated the skill that this family has provided so they can focus on other tasks.
 * Family Wealth: §142,091
 * Family Members: Connor Baker, Zack Baker, Anthony Baker, Lawrence Baker and Ace Baker
 * Businesses owned: Matt's Bakery, Restaurant and Bakery


 * Potter Family: 737 S Main St - The Potter Family was started by Kyle Potter and is responsible to make all the pottery for the community. It is because of this family that there are items to beautify the community besides the paintings from the Harper Family and quilts and curtains from the Taylor Family.
 * Family Wealth: §148,821
 * Family Members: Martin Potter, Jason Potter, Kevin Potter, Adam Potter, Franklin Potter and Sebastian Potter
 * Businesses owned: Kyle's Pottery and Ceramic Store


 * Gardener Family: 507 Middle Row - The Gardener Family was started by Mike Gardener and is responsible to do all the farming for the community. The gardening is helped by the fact that most members are PlantSims.
 * Family Wealth: §162,888
 * Family Members: Eric Gardener, Patrick Gardener and Noah Gardener
 * Businesses owned: Mike's Garden, Farmer's Market and Local Produce


 * Taylor Family: 563 Middle Row - The Taylor Family was started by Luke Taylor and is responsible to do all of the sewing for the community. Without this family, there wouldn't be any bears for the children to play with as well as any clothes to keep warm during the cold and protection from the sun during the heat.
 * Family Wealth: §136,693
 * Family Members: Lance Taylor, Timothy Taylor, Joe Taylor, Jesse Taylor and Nicholas Taylor
 * Businesses owned: Luke's Taylor and Designer Fashion


 * Plummer Family: 605 Middle Row - The Plummer Family was started by Dan Plummer and is responsible to do all the plumbing for the community. This is probably the smallest family in the entire project, but they are still important because there would be some really embarrassing moments if it weren't for their plumbing.
 * Family Wealth: §150,930
 * Family Members: Jared Plummer and Dustin Plummer
 * Businesses owned: Dan's Plumbing, Hardware Store and Tubs and More

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).
