Neighborhood action plan: Difference between revisions

From Friday 8AM to Sunday 6PM each week, Sims will be able to vote for an array of neighborhood action plans. Votes for N.A.P.s can be submitted at the community voting board (found in a [[community lot]]) or the mailboxes of the residents. Sims start off with one influence point but gain more by asking others to help sign to benefit from more votes. The community will also vote for their own action plans and have a chance to win over the player's chosen action plan. One vote costs 10 influence points, the more influence points a Sim has, the more votes they can cast on their chosen N.A.P. Sims can also repeal an existing N.A.P. the same way as voting for one. Only Sims living in the same neighborhood are allowed to vote a N.A.P. for that neighborhood.

''The lovely Conifer Station is pretty green already, but what if it were more Green in all respects of the word? With a teensy donation from residents in the form of a weekly increase in utility bills, we will be able to fund the planting of many luscious trees, hedges, and more, which will in turn give Conifer Station a greener Eco Footprint. Everyone wins!''

''Sure, there might be a smattering of grass around Grims Quarry, but is that enough? With this Action Plan in place, we can finally fund the experimental use of a new evergreen fertilizer that we’re confident will bring a flurry of lovely pines to Grims Quarry!''

''Having seen other cities in the greater Evergreen Harbor area, it's easy to compare and acknowledge there's work that could be done at Conifer Station to keep up with the times. By putting funding towards changes in this district, you will start to see new projects roll out with the apartments, railways, and the towers.''

''Of course, funding for this development will have to come from somewhere. With this initiative, weekly Utility Bills will be increased, but we'll also put in place an increase in residents' career pay to offset that added cost.''

''Do you ever look around and think “This place stinks”? That’s because it does actually smell a bit like old carpet. It’s ok. We can admit it.''

''We live in an area surrounded by some impressive advancements, but Grims Quarry is still outdated for today’s standards.''

''With enough funding we can make Grims Quarry a better place to live. Vote for the Modern Development Project, and expect modern advancements at the quarry itself, in the Park, and even on the homes in Grims Quarry.''

''Feeling down about the state of our fair Port Promise? Vote on additional funding for development projects to help this area live up to its name. By putting in hard work and funding, mainly funding, together we can work on some much needed upgrades to the area.''

''Don’t be put off by the increase in your weekly Bills to help pay for these improvements. We’re pushing to ensure residents’ career pay goes up to help offset the added costs.''
