“The Industrial Age was probably the most sophisticated part of Sim History. There was an equal appreciation of art and science, of music and machines. Cities grew faster than ever, as factorization increased the efficiency of construction tenfold. Sims of this Era would quickly learn to appreciate the concept of automation, for the increased time it gave them to spend on their families and hobbies.”
When entering this Era, go into build mode and rebuild your house in an Industrial, Victorian or Steampunk style, making sure that it adheres to the rules of this Era. You may also, if you want to, replace other lots and households in your neighbourhood with ones in an Industrial, Victorian or Steampunk style. You may either create them as you go, or place them from the Gallery.
If you decide to create new lots and/or households, consider sharing them on the Gallery using the #HistoryChallenge tag, so that others may add them to their game.
RESTRICTIONS
- Aspirations
“As the Industrial Age brought new areas of knowledge and science, a lot of Sims took an interest in these areas, fueled by a desire to further develop and improve the new technology.”
Sims may now also have the Master Chef, Rambunctious Scamp, Renaissance Sim and Whiz Kid aspirations. - Careers
“With most construction and fabrication now being automated, many more luxury services previously considered unimportant were opened up for Sims to provide and enjoy.”
Male Sims may now also join the Culinary(Chef branch) and Writer(Journalist branch) careers. Female Sims may now also join the Babysitter, Writer(Journalist branch), Doctor and Entertainer(Musician branch) careers. Sims may also now sell furniture and baked goods in a personal store. - Romance
“For reasons not yet entirely understood, Industrial Age Sims had become more accepting of romantic relationships between two Sims of the same gender. As there is next to no documentation regarding these kinds of matters, we can only speculate.”
Same-sex relations are now allowed, but not same-sex marriages. Babies may now be born in hospitals. Female Sims may now have lovers in addition to a marriage. Babies may now be sent to daycare when Sims are away from the lot. - Objects/Furniture
“The development of advanced machinery paved the way for many new inventions, as could be expected, many of which are still used to this day, if somewhat modified.”
Sims may now also buy and use alarms, cupcake factories, dishwashers, dollhouses, pirate jungle gyms, kids' chemistry tables, electronic lights, observatories, showers, tea machines and fountains of mirth. - Other Rules
“The development of factories and machines during this era happened so rapidly, Sims needed a place where they could take a break from it all, and enjoy the few spaces of untouched nature that they still had.”
You may now place a Park in your chosen World, and Sims may visit it freely.
