kitae was born on february 14th, 2000 to parents who were definitely on the older side. his parents were sixty, and already had kids in their fourties by the time they realized his mom was pregnant with him. he began training at 13 years old mostly because he’s such an anxious person. he figured his parents may not be with him for as long as they were for his siblings and he needed to find a way to get a job.

he started training at angelico entertainment and would train for two years before appearing on the survival show the new wave, he would not make the final lineup, but would train there for another two years before going to blockberry creative where he would train until his debut in eclipse in 2023.

saerom was born on october 25th, 2001 and was raised primarily by his uncle due to how busy his parents were constantly. despite not being home to help with things like homework, saerom’s parents always made sure to make a way to make it to his soccer games whenever they could. and he was amazing at soccer, his whole town thought he would go on to be a professional.

when saerom was 15 he got into an accident and ended up hurting his knee badly, badly enough to the point that he had to give up on soccer. but while he was recovering, he found his love for music. he decided to practice his skills and once his knee got better enough, he auditioned for blockberry in 2019.

he actually auditioned for blockberry on accident. he didn’t know korean well and he was scouted while visiting south korea before he officially moved back there. a scout had asked him to sign up and he agreed because he was confused, when he made it to actual auditions he was still very confused but auditioned anyways and started training.

Sims 4 Ranch Time!

so I got the new Sims 4 Ranch Pack and went ahead and brought back Susie Sharpweather from my TS3 game. She’d already explored Strangerville and I figured why not let her in on the horsie fun next. I gave her a brother this time too so someone in the family can explore wine making.

First off, as everyone else has mentioned, the new world is gorgeous! I spent the first ten minutes with the game on pause just so I could wander around with the camera and look at everything. It’s got its own vibe despite being the third desert world.

There’s a little town center with a couple of rabbitholes you can go into to buy animals or supplies or change your clothes. The bar and the dance club are pretty one note though the park is nice and I am digging the new cookout grill. The buy items themselves are flavorful and fun looking with lots of variety including a lot of southwestern recolors.

I got a baby goat and a baby sheep to start off with. Paul fell in love with them immediately.

The baby goat randomly gets scared, screeches and plays dead.

There’s also a new bit where you can harvest prairie grass to feed your animals. I was super thrilled about that the second I saw Susie whip out

an actual sickle instead of just leaning down and waving her hand once.

There’s something very viscerally pleasing about watching my sim wield an instrument of death and destruction - or harvesting depending on where your priorities are.

You can shear the sheep and milk the goat though Paul just ends up smothering them with love whenever my back is turned.

And, since this is a horse pack, I had Suzie rescue a horse named Haymaker (cause THAT’S not a warning name at all) so I could start training it to run around barrels for fun and profit.

Here’s the thing - I’m still playing with my mods despite knowing better. And, apparently, there’s a bit of a ... glitch.

yeah. yeah, that’s the horse ‘walking’ upright, swinging its little arms as it goes. Apparently, its the XML injector mod which a lot of mods rely on so I’m sure it will be fixed quickly but - dang. Suzie thought her horror story days were behind her after she defeated the Mother Plant in Strangerville.

Fallout OhioTM Concept

First of all, you are a normal person. Not a vault-dweller. Just a regular joe.

You can discover Vault 68.

Raiders are not instantly aggressive, but they will regard you with caution. They will pickpocket. (High perception and Charisma is advised when dealing with Raiders)

The map is a 1 to 1 recreation of Ohio.

You can get a horse.

You can find the holotapes game manufacturer facility.

Caps are out, sexcoins are in.

New Monster: Corn Stalkers.

All the power armor has been stolen by cosplayers, and looks like various off-brand transformers.

Of the three military bases in Ohio, one is a gun-bro camp, and the other two are feral ghoul dungeons.

Main food source is corn and silk beans.

Ohio State Reformatory is a dungeon.

The Loveland Frogman sells potions from other Bethesda Brand video games.

You can get a companion cat. You can pet every cat. AND GIVE IT KISSES. Cats cannot be killed. And you can set them to hunt small rodents for you.

There are sanity points. The more you maim and kill, the less control you have over your dialogue options.

Hocking Hills is a dungeon.

New Monster: Roaming Animatronics.

Loveland Frogman is a romanceable NPC.

There is one person who is in control of the sexcoins. He is a sentient Glowing One who has gotten into the hobby of coin collecting.

Weather fluctuations. Completely random, with each event lasting 1-10 minutes real time.

If you mention Michigan positively around any NPC, you loose social points. The closer you are to a stadium, the more points you loose. If you are on OSU’s campus, you are attacked.

The Haserot Angel spawns monsters

Jake and Logan Paul lookalikes.

You can be trained in medieval weapons at the OWU campus.

You can gather ingredients for the Loveland Frogman in exchange for sexcoins or potions (you pick)

The Bookloft replenishes sanity points.

Certain Raiders in Columbus will invite you to the Pride Parade.

The bridges across the Ohio River are all broken, you cannot use your boat in the waters.

All the radios can be tuned to Ska Radio. (a-la Brian David Gilbert)

The Ohio State University Mascot is a boss battle. You have to hit him in the football embedded in his not-so-felt head.

You cannot ask about sexcoins.

The Loveland Frogman is not a mutant, he’s just the regular, actual Loveland Frogman.

It is Deathclaw country, but only in the area of King’s Island by Lake Erie.

You can purchase a boat.

Water is highly irradiated and hard to come by.

Guns do realistic damage.

The Cleveland Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is home to a bunch of chill Ghouls.

If you say Michigan sucks, you gain social points.

Interacting with animals and people positively replenishes sanity points.

There is a fishing minigame.

At midnight, if you stand in front of the Hell is Real sign, a random monster will spawn.

You cannot continue the main quest until you have made contact with the sexcoins dealer.

People capture Deathclaws and have giant Deathclaw fights, but inside of old football stadiums. The favorite stadium is Ohio Stadium.

There are tornadoes.

The Columbus Convention Center is a settlement.

There is a storm guarding the edges of Ohio. There is no escape.

You can read the Bone comics to gain knowledge.

New Weapon: You can use anything as a weapon, so long as your character is strong enough to pick it up.

The Ohio Renaissance Festival is a settlement/trading hub.

Along with the regular character creation, you can also modulate the pitch and tone of their voice, kind of like the sims.

The Glowing One is a big fan of Bone.

Going to the Serpent Mound replenishes sanity points, and it is a safe zone. No monsters spawn there.

The Columbus Zoo and the Cleveland Zoo are controlled by warring Raider groups that you can take sides on.

There is no main quest. You’re just vibing.

If you interact positively with the Loveland Frogman enough times, you activate a fully animated spring wedding with him. You get a ring and he moves into your most-used settlement.

The Bishop Mascot of OWU is the final thing you fight when learning how to use medieval weapons. Unclear if it’s human.

You are allowed to be a ghoul.

You can discover Vault 69.

You can have as many companions walking with you as you want.

Hardcore mode added: Your companions can die. Permanently.

Chuck-e-Cheese’s are dungeons.

You can befriend radiated creatures (hostile or not) by feeding them.

If someone asks about sexcoins indoors, an in-game cutscene is activated, and a knock on the door prompts the NPC to answer the door. They are shot. You are not able to save them.

Vault 4: Normal. It’s where the cool Raiders hang out. Center of Columbus.

You have to collect Lead Plates in order to speak to the glowing one who deals with sexcoins.

The Delaware field of corn statues is highly radioactive.

New Monster: Giant Ladybugs. Found in hilly regions near water. When nearby, your character will say “Ew, something stinks.”

King Crystal Caverns is a settlement.

You can ride a bike.

Jeff Smith, the author of Bone, is a Ghoul. If you get him raw materials, such as paper, he will give you autographed copies of Bone, which you can read and then sell for sexcoins.

Columbus is a Raider hotspot.

There is a faction of gun-bros in Ohio. They are always aggro.

You can befriend a settlement of cosplayers who will, in exchange for raw material, make you things.

There is a New Age Christian Cult that seeks to destroy the sexcoins dealer for his promotion of lust. They will not accept sexcoins as currency.

If someone asks about sexcoins outdoors, they are instantly taken out with a sniper. It’s not a cutscene, they just die. You still cannot do anything about it.

Supermutants and gun-bros can be found fighting.

You can side with the Supermutants to destroy gun-bros.

If you ask what sexcoins are, an unskippable in-game cutscene happens. You are shot dead.

The New Age Christian Cult has their own currency called Jesus Coins.

You can get help from NPC vault dwellers to upgrade your settlement.

Vault 78: The hivemind of the Roaming Animatronics.

TM TM TM >:(

Skydio’s R1 can now follow cars, while not crashing into other stuff, of course:

[ Skydio ]

Telexistence thinks that having a telepresence robot that’s humanoid on the other end will make it more natural to interact with, I’m guessing. And they’ve done a reasonable job with the design:

I have to wonder what kind of latency you get between Japan and Hawaii, though. And honestly, if I had to pick a place to experience via telepresence, “inside of a surf shop” would not be at the top of my list. But space, pretty cool.

[ Telexistence ]

Researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have designed a fleet of autonomous boats that offer high maneuverability and precise control. These boats can be 3-D printed using low-cost hardware and materials, and could serve as models for future self-assembling, driver-less water taxis transporting people and goods from place to place.

[ MIT ]

Exoskeletons are currently being tested for development and adoption in various roles, like helping assembly line workers with repetitive movements, baggage handlers lift luggage, and helping disabled people become more mobile. At the Applied Collegiate Exoskeleton (ACE) Competition, the first of it’s kind, teams created their exoskeletons for use by rescue workers.

The exoskeletons were put through tests similar to those for entry-level firefighters. After a design review, where safety components and how long it took to suit up were assessed, the exoskeletons were fitted with a 75 pounds of weights and timed while moving through an obstacle course: on balance beam, up and down stairs, across uneven terrain, under a low-clearance beam, and dragging a 165-pound mannequin for 100 feet.

Colorado School of Mines won the overall competition, edging out the U-M host team by less than a tenth of a point on a 650-point scale. MSU took third place.

Better TickBot than me, mate.

The TickBot works by using a magnetic sensor that follows a metal wire strung along the ground. Dry ice loaded into the TickBot is released as it crawls along, and the carbon dioxide it emits causes the ticks to grab onto a piece of cloth treated with pyrethrin, a pesticide that is non-toxic to humans.

This multi-axis 3D printer from TU Delft moves the object around instead of the plastic squirty bit:

IEEE Spectrum contributor Fan Shi asked Professor Yong-jin Liu, “What is the advantage of this method compared to normal one in which the support is fixed and nozzle is attached to the manipulator?” Profesor Liu: “The two methods are symmetrical in geometry. But physically, it is the best choice that the nozzle is always vertical to the ground.”

In a new paper spearheaded by MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and the University of Toronto, researchers demonstrate “VirtualHome,” a system that can simulate detailed household tasks and then have artificial “agents” execute them, opening up the possibility of one day teaching robots to do such tasks.

The team trained the system using nearly 3,000 programs of various activities, which are further broken down into subtasks for the computer to understand. A simple task like “making coffee,” for example, would also include the step “grabbing a cup.” The researchers demonstrated VirtualHome in a 3-D world inspired by the Sims video game.

The team’s artificial agent can execute 1,000 of these interactions in the Sims-style world, with eight different scenes including a living room, kitchen, dining room, bedroom, and home office.

Space exploration today is hindered by the size and mass of the hardware and equipment human beings are capable of launching to space, the frequency of those launches and the human safety factors involved in transferring and integrating hardware components during astronaut extravehicular activities, or EVAs.

Now, building on the latest robotic technologies available, NASA and its commercial partners seek to transform the way we manufacture, assemble and repair large structures in space, leading us closer to a robust space infrastructure freed from launch window scheduling, launch vehicle mass limitations and astronaut safety concerns. Ultimately, NASA’s new In-space Robotic Manufacturing and Assembly (IRMA) project will enable more frequent science and discovery missions in Earth orbit, across the solar system and beyond.

The project TransFIT is part of the space road map of the DFKI RIC. The project focuses on the assembly and installation of infrastructure for space applications by humans and robots either autonomously or in cooperation. The cooperation between humans and robots follows the concept of “sliding autonomy”. This means that the control over a robot by a human can be very strong as it is the case during teleoperation, weaker as in case of teleoperation with an autonomous control of components or like supervision only in case of “operator in the loop” approaches. The goal of the human-robot interaction is not only task sharing but further training of robots enabling more complex autonomous behaviour.

2020 is going to be an exciting year for robots on Mars, and the ESA’s ExoMars rover will be conducting the most detailed search for Martians yet.

ESA’s (The European Space Agency) ExoMars rover is headed to the red planet in 2020, on a mission to search for signs of past or present life. One of its primary tools in this endeavor is MOMA, the Mars Organic Molecule Analyzer. MOMA is a sophisticated suite of technologies that squeezes a lab full of chemistry equipment into a package the size of a toaster oven. Its mass spectrometer subsystem and main electronics were built at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md, and mark the first use of a linear ion trap on another planet – a leap forward in the search for life beyond Earth.

Wyss Core Faculty member, Robert Wood, Ph.D., presents a talk titled “The Mechanical Side of Artificial Intelligence”. Artificial intelligence typically focuses on perception, learning, and control methods to enable autonomous robots to make and act on decisions in real environments. With our research, which focuses on the design, mechanics, materials, and manufacturing of novel robot platforms that make the perception, control, or action easier or more robust, we aim to facilitate this decision-making process in natural, unstructured, and often unpredictable environments. Key principles in this pursuit include bio-inspired designs, smart materials for novel sensors and actuators, and the development of multi-scale, multi-material manufacturing methods.

On this week’s episode of Robots in Depth, Per interviews Spring Berman from Arizona State University.

Spring Berman talks about her extensive experience from research in the field of swarm robotics. One of the underlying ideas of the area is designing robot controls similar to the ones used in nature by different types of swarms of animals, systems that work without having a leader. We get to hear how many robots can be used together to handle tasks that would not be possible using one or a small number of robots. We also get introduced to the opportunities of mixing artificial animals with real ones. Spring describes some of the challenges within swarm robotics, which can be as diverse as mathematical modelling and regulatory issues. She also comments on the next frontier of research and the different research areas that are relevant to advance this area.

Animal Adoption Center Challenge

Animal Adoption Center A business role-play challenge for The Sims 3 Created & Written by Syrah (aka. PrincessZeda)

THE CONCEPT Your Sim has always dreamed of owning their own animal adoption center since they were little, due to their passion for animals. He/She decided to move out of their parents home to start a new life surrounded by dogs, cats, and horses alike. This is my own take on KiriMaccyG’s Animal Rescue Centre with RNG (Random Number Generated) rolls along with more realistic financial twists for those of you who crave a tougher challenge. Here, you will see your passion evolve and grow with an expanse of upgrades you can add to your facility to improve it for the better or perhaps falter to random, situational events. Please feel free to alter the rules to your liking if things seem a bit too tedious. I hope you will all take the time to enjoy this challenge! PREREQUISITES ‣ It is required that you have both NRaas’ MasterController and MasterControllerCheats mods installed. You will be editing your household funds a lot in this challenge, and these two mods do this in a swift manner. You will also need these mods to expand your household slots if needed. ‣ Have a random number generator ready for rolls. Random.org is a great webite to use for this. ‣ Have a place to keep track of your upgrades/animal information/successful adoptions. I prefer Google Spreadsheets, but you can use whatever you’re comfortable with. SETTING UP: THE SIMS ‣ Your first Sim will be the Adoption Center’s owner. He/She must be at least a young adult, but can have any combination of traits that you want. ‣ You are allowed to have as many other Sims as you wish when you start out. These Sims can be family members or roommates that can help out at the Adoption Center. These extra Sims can be of any age and have any traits that you want. ‣ You are allowed to start out with 1 family pet. This pet cannot be put up for adoption through your Adoption Center. SETTING UP: THE LOT ‣ You are allowed to start out on any sized empty lot. 64x64 is recommended if you wish to expand your facility and add different animal specialties. ‣ You are only allowed to house one animal type at the start of the challenge. This will be your first animal specialty, so pick and plan accordingly. You will be able to unlock more animal specialties later in the challenge. ‣ The Family Home: Your home must be a separate building. This means that it can not be attached to your Adoption Center in any way. You have complete freedom to how your house is built, it just has to satisfy your Sims needs. ‣ Adoption Facility: One of these must be attached to each of your animal boards. This is where (imaginary) guests come to view the animals up for adoption, and perhaps adopt one. Attach any rooms to this area that are related to personal care for that animal (ie., Washroom to bathe dogs). Each animal board room must be viewable from this room. ‣ Animal Board: This is where animals are housed that are/will be up for adoption. Each animal type (horse, dog, and cat) must be boarded in a separate building. Click here to see example layouts . ‣ One animal will be assigned to one boarding room, which requires 1 food item (ie., food bowl, water trough, hay), 1 toy, and 1 bed/sleeping stall. Each room must have an indoor and outdoor section. You start out with 2 of these rooms at the start of the challenge. It is recommended to have one large outdoor section where all of the animals in that board can play and socialize with one another. ‣ In the case of a pregnant animal, the mother will get her own room which is much larger than the standard. This is so she has enough room to care for her babies. Animals that are not pregnant should not be boarded here. You start out with 1 of these rooms at the start of the challenge. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ RULES: BASE CHALLENGE ‣ You must start out with an empty lot and build with the funds you have but you can roll under Starting Out to get some extra cash towards building your Adoption Center. You cannot move into a prebuilt lot at the start, though you can move into one at a later date (when you have the funds and it has all of the requirements in the Setting Up: The Lot section). ‣ No cheats that affect your motives, relationships or income (excluding MasterControllerCheats which will edit your funds). ‣ You can add animals to your facility by either befriending strays yourself or by calling up the rescue squad (aka., the in-game adoption center). The rescue squad mainly rescues animals in distress and does not have the proper equipment to house multiple animals. This is why they come to you to take them off their hands. You can only take in 1 animal per day. ‣ Your primary income is adoption fees. Fees will get more expensive relative to how many positive traits are learned while at the facility, along with many other factors (see Adoption Fee Calculator) that can affect the price both negatively and positively. After you have rolled under Rolls: Adoption, and can successfully set an animal up for adoption, call in for the adoption on your phone so the animal can be picked up by the new owner. Once the animal leaves the household, use the MasterController to add the fee to your household funds after you have calculated the price. ‣ Animals must stay at the facility for a minimum of 3 days before they can be put up for adoption. If an animal was born in the facility, you must still wait the 3 days. Keeping them for a longer period of time to train them for good traits and/or skills is recommended in order to get better income. ‣ When you go to put an animal up for adoption, all of their needs must be in the green as well as their mood. ‣ You start out with one animal specialty of your choice at the start of the challenge. This means that you can only house and put up one animal type for adoption at first. ‣ You can purchase Specialty Licenses which can add a new animal specialty to your Adoption Center. This means you can place a different animal type up for adoption after you have built a proper animal board for them. ‣ Facility upgrades and building permissions will become available for you to purchase once you complete the specified requirements. ‣ Perks can be bought, but are extremely pricey! These can add a multitude of benefits to your Facility. Think of these as Lifetime Awards for your Adoption Center. ‣ Watch out for fines! Inspectors will sniff you out quick if they see something unsatisfactory going on in your facility. When they find out, you’ll have to pay the fine (see Fines). Roll under Inspection to see if they catch what’s fishy. They may not find out, and you won’t end up paying a fee. If you end up paying 3 fines, you lose the challenge due to your Facility being poorly managed. ‣ Upon entering the facility, every animal must be washed and groomed (to simulate deworming, flea baths, etc.). RULES: THE SIMS & PETS ‣ The Adoption Center owner cannot have a job. Tending to the animals and putting them up for adoption is his/her job. You are allowed profitable hobbies (painting, writing, gardening, etc.). ‣ Any other Sims in the household are allowed part-time jobs as well as profitable hobbies. Jobs are discouraged though, since this challenge is based around Adoption Center profits and caring for animals. ‣ If you have a family pet with the hunting skill, it’s up to you if you want to sell what he/she finds. If you want more of a challenge, do not sell the items. You cannot sell items found by animals in board. RULES: ANIMALS IN BOARD ‣ Animals in board cannot leave the lot without a Sim going with them (ei., walking the dog, visiting the horse training ground). It is suggested that these animals must stay in their board on the lot. ‣ Animals are not allowed to breed with one another while in the facility (this results in a fine). ‣ If two animals in board get into a fight, they cannot be put up adoption for the next 2 days due to their injuries. You must pay $150 for treatment. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ROLLS: STARTING OUT ‣ Roll this prompt at the start of the challenge for a chance at some extra money. Starting Cash: 1-10 1-3: You empty out your old piggy bank and find $700 stashed in there! Add $700 to your household funds. 4-6: The locals are aware of your ambitions and have given you the profits from the promotional car wash event. Add $2,000 to your household funds. 7-9: Some rich investor is in town, and saw your ads in the paper. He decides to donate $5,000 to your cause. 10: Looks like you couldn’t scrounge up any extra money this time around. ROLLS: NEW ARRIVAL ‣ Roll each of the following prompts when a new animal arrives at your facility. Pregnancy: 1-10 1-8: Not Pregnant 9-10: Pregnant (use testingcheats to impregnate) Sickness/Disease: 1-15 1-10: This animal is 100% healthy! 11-14: This animal has worms. Pay $50 for deworming treatment. 15: This animal has a serious injury. Pay $100 for treatment and medication. ROLLS: ADOPTION ‣ Roll this prompt before every adoption. Adoption Success: 1-10 1-7: This animal will be adopted today! 8-10: Looks like this animal didn’t spike anyone's interest. We’ll have to try again tomorrow. ROLLS: INSPECTION ‣ Roll this prompt when you trigger something in the Fines category. Fines: 1-10 1-5: The inspector saw what you did! You have to pay the fine. 6-10: You covered your trail pretty well and the inspector never found out what happened. You don’t have to pay the fine. ROLLS: WEEKLY EVENT ‣ Roll this prompt at the start of each week. Weekly Event: 1-7 1: Looks like the food we ordered for the week was tainted, now all of the animals have stomach bugs. You’ll have make all of the dog and cat food from scratch and pay $300 in anti-diarrheal meds this week. 2: Two of the animals got into a fight! Pay $200 in medical fees. Two of your animals can not be put up for adoption for another 3 days so they have time to heal. They can not be walked or taught tricks due to their injuries. 3: Looks like some coyotes got into the facility last night and spooked the animals! All animals cannot be taught tricks, walked or be skill trained for the day. 4: What luck! A generous fellow decided to donate to our cause! Add $2,000 to the household funds. 5: The local elementary school held a bake-off event. They decided to give the proceeds to your Adoption Center! Add $500 to the household funds. 6: A local company decided to sponsor you. If you manage to get 5 animals adopted by the end of the week you will be paid $700. If you fail, you will have to pay $300 to the company for false advertisement. 7: Looks like we’ve been having some crazy weather over the past few days! Sims cannot visit your Adoption Center 3 days out of the week due to the weather. None of your Sims can leave the home lot (Excluding part-time jobs), and no animals can be adopted during those 3 days. If you do not have the Seasons EP, you’ll have to use your imagination (ie., tornado warning). _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ADOPTION FEE CALCULATOR ‣ For each section, choose all that apply and then add up what you’ve selected. This is the adoption fee. DOG Age: ‣ Puppy: +$700 ‣ Adult: +$600 ‣ Elder: +$300 Breed: ‣ Purebreed: +$75 ‣ Mutt: +$25 Traits: ‣ Positive Traits (Friendly, Loyal, Neat, Non-Destructive, Playful, Proud, Quiet): +$25 Per Trait ‣ Negative Traits (Aggressive, Destructive, Noisy): -$25 Per Trait Social/Training: ‣ Friends: +$10 Per Friend (Animal or Sim) ‣ Walks: +$10 Per Walk (30 Minutes Minimum; Maximum 2 Times a Day) ‣ Tricks: +$15 Per Trick Learned ‣ Hunting Skill: +$15 Per Point _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ CAT Age: ‣ Kitten: +$600 ‣ Adult: +$500 ‣ Elder: +$200 Breed: ‣ Purebreed: +$75 ‣ Mix: +$25 Traits: ‣ Positive Traits (Friendly, Loyal, Neat, Non-Destructive, Playful, Proud, Quiet): +$25 Per Trait ‣ Negative Traits (Aggressive, Destructive, Noisy): -$25 Per Trait Social/Training: ‣ Friends: +$10 Per Friend (Animal or Sim) ‣ Hunting Skill: +$20 Per Point _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ HORSE Age: ‣ Colt/Filly: +$800 ‣ Adult: +$700 ‣ Elder: +$300 Breed: ‣ Purebreed: +$75 ‣ Mix: +$25 Traits: ‣ Positive Traits (Agile, Brave, Fast, Friendly, Neat, Obedient, Playful, Quiet): +$25 Per Trait ‣ Negative Traits (Aggressive, Hates Jumping, Nervous, Noisy, Ornery, Untrained): -$25 Per Trait Social/Training: ‣ Friends: +$10 Per Friend (Animal or Sim) ‣ Riding: +$10 Per Ride (30 Minutes Minimum; Maximum 2 Times a Day) ‣ Jumping Skill: +$15 Per Point ‣ Racing Skill: +$15 Per Point _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ UPGRADES: EXPANSION ‣ You start out with two standard boarding rooms and one large boarding room (for pregnant animals) at the start of the challenge. Once you have fulfilled the requirements and have paid the building fee, you can add the room to your Adoption Center. Permissions to build more boarding buildings can be bought here given that you have the proper Specialty License. Extra lots are allowed to be pre-built, as long as you can afford it. Standard Boarding Room ($100): ‣ Unlocked after every 3 animals successfully adopted. Large Boarding Room ($200): ‣ Unlocked after all animals resulting from 1 pregnancy have been successfully adopted (excluding parent). Can be done more than once. Animal Board Building/Adoption Facility ($1,000): ‣ Own an Animal Specialty License that will be assigned to the building. ‣ Have at least 7 boarding rooms in at least 1 current animal board. ‣ Successfully place 10 animals up for adoption.

UPGRADES: ANIMAL SPECIALTY LICENSES ‣ You start out with one of these at the start of the challenge. Once you have fulfilled the requirements and have paid the license fee, you will then be capable of putting that animal type up for adoption. Canine Specialty ($5,000): ‣ Have at least 10 boarding rooms in all current animal boards. ‣ Successfully place 15 animals up for adoption. Feline Specialty ($3,000): ‣ Have at least 7 boarding rooms in all current animal boards. ‣ Successfully place 10 animals up for adoption. Equine Specialty ($10,000): ‣ Have at least 10 boarding rooms in all current animal boards. ‣ Successfully place 20 animals up for adoption. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ PERKS ‣ Purchasing perks can give you valuable leverage over the competition. These are expensive due to their rather cheaty benefits. Animal Magnet ($20,000): ‣ You can take in as many animals as you want per day. Charismatic ($35,000): ‣ Put as many animals up for adoption as you want per day. Need requirements still apply. Gifted Animal Lover ($15,000): ‣ You do not have to wait 3 days before an animal can be put up for adoption. Need requirements still apply.
