Done!

Carole Hanson wrote: 3 years ago This isn't necessarily small, but I think the SIM rules need an update because rules like this still exist:
10. You may not form clique groups that are created for the purpose of one set of players becoming vastly more powerful than the rest. Because you may not have more than one account, you cannot create a second account where horses held by several players are deposited.
11. You may not share horses or monetary earnings as if the horse is owned by two people - aka if a horse wins you cannot pass half of the earnings on to someone else, or any percentage. This includes stud fees as well.
Both of these rules tie into partnerships which are now obviously allowed in the SIM.

Also this one about leaving the game:
Your horses will be dispersed on the New Player Sales Page for $1,000 each after a final 7 day warnings.
Whereas now there are dispersal auctions for ALL players.

Done, but it took forever because I had to do next year too and I'm grouchy about it ;-)

For example, I could put in a show me every sire standing who traces directly back to Just Victory on the sire side. Or on the damsire side. Something like that. Ideally it goes all the way back to the OG SIM horses like Storm Bird, Seattle Slew, Unbridled etc...

Can we please have State Bred taken off the auction pages? Almost totally irrelevant and annoying on a phone screen 😊

Been trying to find the money drain thread, but how about light weight aluminum racing shoes,,,,,,,,,2-3 races maybe before they need to be replaced.

Got to have as much impact on a race as.......Dont like to get his or her feet wet

in the part of creating a foal, for 3000 Gps
You could create mother mares of all times, and have the bulls of all times that would be crossed, and have a secretariat foal, and zenyatta as if they were a sim mother, and a sim bull for GPs

oh create mother mares of all time and raise a foal with some bull sim example Miltore and pay the 3000 GPs of the foal

Since the Stewarbreds are in plain to disappear, you have to have a source that promises quality horses, in this situation it will reflect allowance stakes, and freak since you would have to pay the 3000GPs and the price of the bull to use then you can guarantee randomly

When you breed a foal it should auto list as the division of the dam. You could change it later but it would make sorting so much easier

I’m sure this has been addressed and I’m not sure why not or if possible, but here goes...at year end, can we get 1 more day to re-gallop horses to see if their comments have changed. This would go a long way to helping us to decide if we should retire or not.

Traditionally once the races have run week 16, day 5 we can no longer train. If this has changed, I apologize for not being on top of it. Welcome to my life! Lol

You are right Nick, can’t train during break.
I tend to make the decision based on how they were running towards end of season and then deciding if my horses potential stud/mare ability is worth more then another season of earnings on the track.
The gallop is only a label and doesn’t mean much vs the actual race performances.

Just my opinion.
