Re: About to get some New Players!
Free SIMperior is good, free horses are good too. I’m happy to donate enough free SIMperior and free horses to get 8 or 10 new players up and running.

Mentors are probably definitely a good thing to start with.

Re: About to get some New Players!
Somebody mentioned before a NP Claim game in the chat. We could do one for Junior Players too! It would be super fun I think
I could help a lot with this if we figure out what to do!

New player feature:
On a horses page, let them ask the trainer what a horse will be best at, and it can return the horses optimal surface/distance. Ease up that learning curve.

I can see that getting exploited by non new players. Lease or temporarily sell a horse to a new player just to find it outDanny Derby wrote: ↑5 years ago New player feature:

Assuming this was something very general turf sprinter, dirt router, etc I would think most veterans would be able to figure it out on their own.Rochelle Zahacy wrote: ↑5 years agoI can see that getting exploited by non new players.

Re: About to get some New Players!
Also speaking of shortening the learning curve perhaps players could get a brief tip sheet to help prevent common newbie mistakes (warnings about training horses to much while racing, overspending for junk horses on the sales page, etc)

Re: About to get some New Players!
FYI. For the first six weeks of a new players time in the SIM, they constantly get tips displayed at the top of their Sim pages. The tips include:Tammy Stawicki wrote: ↑5 years ago Also speaking of shortening the learning curve perhaps players could get a brief tip sheet to help prevent common newbie mistakes (warnings about training horses to much while racing, overspending for junk horses on the sales page, etc)
- Horses only need to race once every 14 days or less. If your horse races on Week 1 Day 1, it can race again Week 3 Day 1.
- Check the parents of your horses to find out what distance and surface your horse will prefer.
- Once you have been playing the game for two weeks, you will receive an additional $75,000. Make sure to budget your money!
- Don't waste your money on broodmares; you can't breed until you've been playing a full six weeks.
- You can view the New Player Sales Page, where veterans put up horses for a maximum of $10,000.
- Introduce yourself on the forum and in the chat room. People like to give away horses and hints to new players.
- Don't stress out about your jockey or the horse's equipment yet. Focus on distances and surfaces instead.
- Shipping a horse to a farm after a race will help it recover more quickly.
- If a horse is racing regularly, it doesn't need any extra exercise, such as galloping or jogging.
- All two-year-olds must have two recorded workouts before they can start.
- Auctions are a great way to buy horses. Just go to My Office --> Auctions to view any open or upcoming sales!
- Write articles for the Feature Race News. It's a great way to learn about the SIM while making money.
- New players can't stand stallions because they need to have at least $350,000 in earnings to be successful and you have to buy numerous mares to support them.
- When using farms to rest horses between races, pick a farm that is both affordable and close to save on shipping costs.
- Galloping, jogging and workouts build fitness but aren't needed once a horse is racing regularly.
- Training tools such as gate schooling and longeing build fitness before a horse's first race.
- Too much exercise will end in injury to the horse. Check with the vet to be sure!
- Don't give a yearling a workout before Week 5 each year. They will be injured if you do!
- Yearlings, foals and mares don't make you any money. Only racehorses do.
- There is a 'Recommended' filter on the sales page just for New Players.

Whoops read it wrong the first time!

Re: About to get some New Players!
I think that with a good amount of GPs, players could experience several options:
Buy your silks
Buy companion animal
SIMperior Weeks
Buy the training piece
create a competition
create a horses
and everything I can do with the GPs.
There I would have a great experience, to be able to enjoy all these tools.
It could be 25000 GPs, I'm sure it's better than a full month of SIMperior.
