SimVerse: Life - Features

SimVerse: Life is not just a game; it's a parallel universe.
Here is a comprehensive list of features currently implemented as of v0.2.4.

1. Living World Engine

Minute-by-Minute Simulation: The game world runs continuously. Every unique NPC lives every minute alongside you, fulfilling needs and executing their schedules dynamically.
Dynamic Weather: 4 weather types (Sunny, Rainy, Cloudy, Stormy) that affect crowd density, visual atmosphere, and NPC behavior (e.g., seeking shelter).
Autonomous NPCs: Non-player characters independently seek jobs, manage their needs (Hunger, Energy, Health), travel between locations, and engage in social interactions.
Crowd Simulation: The city is populated by "Generic NPCs" that spawn based on location category, time of day, and weather conditions.

Character Creation: Customize your Name, Gender, Age, and Appearance (Hair, Eyes, Body Type) before starting your life.
Needs Management: Juggle 5 core needs: Hunger, Energy, Happiness, Cleanliness, and Health. Neglect leads to debuffs, sickness, or blackouts.
Attributes & Skills: Level up Social, Intelligence, Charisma, Stamina, and Cooking. Skills decay over time if not practiced.
Dynamic Physique: Your calorie intake and physical activity determine your Muscle and Fat levels. Body shapes change dynamically (Skinny, Fit, Muscular, Obese).
Trait System: Innate traits (like "Genius" or "Glutton") and earned traits (like "Rich" or "Body Builder") fundamentally alter gameplay.
Status Effects: Dynamic buffs (e.g., "Inspired" from movies) and debuffs (e.g., "Unkempt", "Common Cold") affect your stats.
Outfit Effects: Clothing is no longer just cosmetic. Different outfits provide specific bonuses to skills, social interactions, or resistance to weather.

Relationship Spectrum: Relationships range from Nemesis (-100) to Spouse (+100), with distinct stages like "Frenemy" or "Trusted Friend".
Power Dynamics (P/D): A Dominance/Passive stat that shifts during interactions, influencing who leads the conversation.
NPC Aspirations: Unique NPCs pursue goals like "Corporate Climber", "Wealth Hoarder", or "Serial Romantic", affecting their behavior.
Memory System: NPCs remember past interactions (good and bad), holding grudges or affection over time.
Gossip Network: Ask NPCs about others to uncover hidden Traits, Romantic Preferences, Career Goals, or Relationship Status.

Job Ecosystem: Work in Corporate (SAMSANG), Fitness, Food Service, or Nightlife. Each job has specific skill requirements and tier progression.
Realistic Economy: Manage monthly bills (Rent, Utilities, Maintenance) and taxes (Income Tax, Health Insurance).
Banking System: Dual-currency system (Wallet Cash vs. Bank Account). Bank accounts earn weekly interest.
Credit & Loans: Apply for Personal, Business, or Housing loans based on your Credit Score. Missed payments lead to penalties.
Dynamic Market: Prices for items and ingredients fluctuate daily based on market conditions.

Vehicle Ownership: Buy private vehicles to reduce travel time.
Dealerships: Visit SV Dealership for cars and the new GEM Dealership for motorcycles.
Leasing System: Vehicles can be purchased with cash or leased via a down payment and monthly installments.
Licensing System: You must obtain specific driving licenses (SIM A, SIM C) from the Police Station to operate vehicles legally.
Fuel Logic: Using vehicles incurs fuel costs which accumulate as monthly debt.

Criminal Actions: Engage in Pickpocketing, Extortion, or Physical Assault. Success depends on skills, crowd density, and target state.
Crime Safety Logic: A 60-minute cooldown prevents you from being chain-targeted by NPC criminals.
Theft System: Successful crimes yield money and physical items (ID Cards, Debit Cards) from the victim's inventory.
Justice System: Failed crimes lead to arrest. You can pay fines or serve real-time prison sentences in the holding cell.
Document Recovery: If your ID or Debit Card is stolen, you must visit the Police Station or Bank to apply for replacements.

Romantic Progression: Build relationships from Crush to Partner to Spouse. NPCs can reject or accept advances based on compatibility.
Dating Mechanics: Schedule Movie Dates. Choosing a genre the NPC likes boosts the relationship significantly.
Intimacy System: A fully interactive sex minigame with satisfaction meters, multiple positions, and climax mechanics.
Cheating & Consequences: NPCs can witness infidelity and react with jealousy or breakups.

Cooking: Buy ingredients from the Supermarket to cook meals. Recipes require specific ingredients and Cooking skill.
Shopping: Purchase clothes at the Mall or snacks from Vending Machines.
Fitness: Work out at the Gym to build muscle and Stamina. You can also work as a Personal Trainer.
