Wolfpunkie 3 Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 What makes your sim different / welcoming to fantasy RP that sets it apart from other urban sims? Link to post Share on other sites
Skyler Pancake 38 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 "P.s We welcome fantasy rp " Apparently you're welcome to LARP there. I'm not aware of anywhere like that, but the idea could be fun! Hope someone knows of somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites
brodiac90 228 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Can we not spam adverts for sims that are not even relevant to what the OP is asking for? Urban family RP has been done to death and is little more than glorified rentals or an excuse for EMS RPers. On topic: I once role played at an elven LOTR themed sim last year that was called Elven Quest. They even allowed children! Not sure if it is still there or not. I will check next time I'm in world. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Wolfpunkie 3 Posted October 21, 2020 Author Share Posted October 21, 2020 I figured the spam wouldn't lead me to what I wanted, haha. And yeah, I find most urban RP super boring. There something far more appealing about the idea of dealing with a stuffy town guard than modern cops or having fey problems rather than mafia crime. I wish I had the funds to run something like this, because I totally would. Link to post Share on other sites
AdeliaBradford 0 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 That Sparrow's Haven sim is like Once Upon a Time. Like modern technology but a touch of magic. They allow mermaids and fey, lots of stuff. They aren't open yet but they want a nice mix of magic/fantasy and modern. sim is super pretty too Link to post Share on other sites
Anuuubis 14 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Honestly something like this sounds like it could be a lot of fun. I've always liked the appeal of a community-type sim, but a lot are either full of unoptimized laggy builds or really strict in terms of what you can be, do, etc there, not to mention HEAVILY pushing the rp aspect to the point of inducing anxiety. If there are any relatively chill community sims with decently affordable housing and such with wiggle room as far as rp rules and fantasy/species requirements go, I'll check em out for sure.

You really need to make that clear on the sim that your plan is something more urban fantasy, because looking at your sim and ads I would have no idea. That sort of idea is exactly what I asked for before, what sets you and your sim apart? You wanna wear that loud and proud! Also please know that how you advertise will be key in how people see you. Having someone spam several older threads looks bad-- especially because none of those older threads were asking for an urban fantasy setting. The other thing is please don't post implying it's not your sim when you're the primary contact someone sees when loading in. Your sim isn't what I'm looking for but it could be what others are, if they knew what it was. Link to post Share on other sites

I just don't want to deal with rental headaches... Well, definitely let me know if that pans out and if rentals would ever be a thing/be considered. It'd certainly help with cost/upkeep instead of having to pay for it yourself or hope for donations! If you ever want a griffin (or three) to chill/hang out/enjoy the atmosphere, I wouldn't mind poking my head in a couple times to see how things go. <: Link to post Share on other sites

brodiac90 228 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 So I checked in world and Elven Quest is still around if you're interested. Yes, it is LOTR lore heavy as would be expected for that type of sim, but it is family orientated and fits the sort of medieval / fantasy world you're after. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Eloenne 12 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 If you find this let me know. My family have been looking for such a place for a while - doesn't even have to be RP. Just an ACTIVE fantasy themed residential community will do. Link to post Share on other sites
Dafadilia Wayfarer 2,404 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 My husband and I would love a medieval fantasy theme where our entire family would be welcome to role play. We are elves. Great idea. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't own the sim, I just help there so I don't want to take credit for running it or anything. Thanks for the feedback though its really appreciated Advertising the sim has been a big issue (multiple people trying multiple different things) as you can tell so I'm grateful for the constructive criticism!

Wolfpunkie 3 Posted November 3, 2020 Author Share Posted November 3, 2020 Still keeping an eye out for this. There is clearly a demand for it. I spoke to a lot of folks (some of you from this thread, hiii!) who want this, but ultimately it looks like running it on a Homestead (which is what is in my price range) isn't really ideal. Most were hoping for 400-500 prims per rental to decorate homes with which would make it hard to theme a Homestead with this. Still hit me up in world if you want this btw, I'm slowly building a contact list in case this shows up anywhere or some finances free up for a sim. (I'm unwilling to go in on the gamble that I get renters fast enough to cover tier, that lies the way of madness and a quickly closed sim) Link to post Share on other sites

Fewer break even and even fewer just about manage to make a minute profit. Even the real estate market is a competitive and difficult one. Link to post Share on other sites

I can afford a Homestead all on my own without issue, but a sim pushes the budget too much. I don't want to start something unless I know I don't rely on renters to make it work. I've seen too many sims assume they will get donations / renters that are reliable and long term enough to maintain the costs. Those sims almost always close after 1-2 months when the owner cannot afford to keep it going. Not to mention the hours spent chasing late payments, cleaning out rentals, handling issues, moderation... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
