Re: One Small Thing
This has probably been brought up, but can you pretty pretty pretty please make first class shipping a horse-specific option? I'd love to only use it with my stakes runners and just ship my claimers regularly.

Em has said that it will absolutely not be a horse specific option since it is designed to draw money out of the game.Dan Kauffman wrote: ↑3 years ago This has probably been brought up, but can you pretty pretty pretty please make first class shipping a horse-specific option?

Re: One Small Thing
Is there any chance that there can be some way to differentiate workout times when they come from a trial versus a normal workout?
When it comes from a trial possibly place an asterisk or bold it or even change the font color?
The reason I ask this is because I am under the impression that a trial is a simulated race and due to this i feel the horses are pushing each other to run faster resulting in a faster finish time. I am actually seeing the results when looking at the workout list. Some of the fastest times came from trials and those same horses were not even close to those times previously in workouts.
I use the workout time data to compare horses of a particular breed and the above described is causing it to be more difficult in comparing apples to apples as a new fruit that looks like an apple has infiltrated the basket.
Thanks!

Re: One Small Thing
100% agree with this. I like my horse being at the top of the rankings, but she doesn’t really deserve it, she ran that time because she was working in company.Pete Vella wrote: ↑3 years ago Is there any chance that there can be some way to differentiate workout times when they come from a trial versus a normal workout?

Re: One Small Thing
100% this. In fact I’d take it one step further and not even include them at all on workout times lists. Results are visible on a horse’s results page, no need to clutter up workout times with something that’s not apples to apples with the other workouts.Pete Vella wrote: ↑3 years ago Is there any chance that there can be some way to differentiate workout times when they come from a trial versus a normal workout?

Re: One Small Thing
Maybe a separate page for trial times?

Re: One Small Thing
Soooooo, for the offering stud slots privately could we add a field for a custom stud fee? So if people wanted to offer a bunch at a discount/free they can :3

You don't need to bump it, we read every word on this thread.

OH PLEASE YES TO THIS!!!!Rochelle Zahacy wrote: ↑3 years ago Soooooo, for the offering stud slots privately could we add a field for a custom stud fee? So if people wanted to offer a bunch at a discount/free they can :3
Pretty please. People offer free/low cost breedings all the time but it's very complicated right now because you have to pay the full fee then sell or lease them a horse to get the money "paid back" and it's a huge nuisance. This appears to be a control on being shifty with moving money between dummy accounts, but just making a stud fee free (or discount) means _less_ shifty money hijinks in the sim.
Also, as the eternal voice of new/poor players, this would also allow people who didn't have enough cash to breed to an expensive sire to get a free breeding and be able to use it without even more complicated money movements.

Re: One Small Thing
A couple of things, one small and one not so much:
1. Could we please have a 'Mark as Read' button in our inbox? So that we don't have to open each lease/scratch/trainer message individually.
2. Could the SIM Museum be updated a little please? For example, the SC page is one where you have to scroll to get to a specific race and it takes ages to load usually. Could we have a drop down menu instead?
