Real-Life 4, Metropolis City (New Map) - Help Suggestion

Hey people, I need your help and suggestions! I'm making this real-life map (noob map) that could let you do anything in a city. I'm going to make it like Grand Theft Auto + The Sims into one game. Well, there is already a map like that called LOAP and Real Life v1.1 and i admire them. But then i'm getting tired of waiting for the new versions, so I made my own. The things I really need help on is the activities in the game that you could do for fun or some kind of purpose and job list that you can get! Help me out!

Here are some pictures that I have done.

Whoa! The screenies are very cool. I have no time to make a job list. But i find every kind of gambling and such funny in these kind of maps. And jobs should include some work with other player characters too, it's boring to do some regular tasks alone in some smelly kitchen or sumtin. I'm really waiting for this map.

very nice! i give it a 4 though, because, well... hell ill think of something but until i do, its 4/5
#5
Advance. Are you the same name on Lordaeron? Cuz then you might know me.... OH!! THIS IS ARLC!! I see!
But isn't this already doing great?
include hourly pay which come every day where you earn like 1 gold every so and so minutes, but is held in a variable and given every day

"The things I really need help on is the activities in the game that you could do for fun or some kind of purpose and job list that you can get!"

Ok I haven't seen any suggestion yet. *looks around*
I don't wanna get stuck thinking on my map.
#7
you could make like a amusement park wher you can ride rollercoasters and stuff or an arcade where you can play mini games
#8
i reckon aswell of normal "jobs", you can get carrers! like a police carreer, u start of as a desk operater at the police station, and ending up being the owner/General (or watever) of the police station.
#9
Save and load feature with cool career thing would really rock. That kinda map would be very addictive. Careers shouldn't be too easy and fast to run trough, but not too slow either. And most important, careers should be interesting.
#10
Depending on "points" you could get, that could indicate your intelligence/education level, thus allowing jobs. Otherwise, you must be something like a fast food/gas station worker. Also, you could have burgurlaries that could come around, hostage-taking and not. The hostage ones would try to kill everything and the not's only counterattack you. The robbers run around robbing stuff, and depending on the mana (amount of robberies), you would get different rewards
#11
:twisted: stuff to do, eh? weelll.....
Bowling (ogres, boulders)
Drinking Contests
Fortune Telling
Graffiti
Kung Fu
Circuses/Carnivals(Perform or watch)
Butcher Shops (im thinkin aboms?)
Arson (burn stuff)
Mafia (borrowed from GTA - don't use too much)
Inventing
Construction Work (build walls/etc.)
Piloting
Arena Boxing
TV (watch occasional commercials)
Pets
Doctor (watch ppl die... heh)
Traffic Accidents
Music (arthas w/ice speakers)
Alien Abduction

^^ thats all for now
#12
ya abductions would be cool you could make natraul disasters or you could have to go to university and meet the requirements to get a job like diplomas and stuff
#13
Create something like rampage where you arte given a short mission and a weapon like kill as many gang members as possible. Make it so if cops don't respond to murder and are fooling around or are corrupt, they are fired/demoted. Also, you need shelters that would actually burn down from arson etc. Use the building transparency trick for inside buildings, have outbreaks of diseases.
Put some remote mountains and some countryside with it. This way people could get a job shipping things like cattle/pigs/chickens because of the new patch

MAYOR ELECTIONS
based on things like charm, education, and amount you spend on campaigning acts (that is more random) you shouldbe able to hold high offices, increase rep, and basically have some control of the town. Players don't vote but the NPC's do
-So players/hostiles could set fire to the polls or cause havoc etc
#14
Do you think this would work?

-The career job is based on the character (hero) level. Doing your job more often and working hard will get you experience points over time. Leveling up your Career Level (hero level) is important to get more better jobs in the future. Example: School Janitor (Lv.1 Job) --> Bank Manager (Lv.3 Job)

-Every job have a requirement to meet in order to get that job. If you have a level 2 career level, you can't take any job that are higher then level 2 job. The higher your level, the more jobs that are available to you. There are a total of 27 jobs planned out.

-If you don't do your job, you are at a risk of getting fired. Work hard enough and you may get a promotion!

Ok, enough with the job stuff, on to the Grand Theft Auto ideas!

-How should I make the car jack system?

-Is there a way to make the unit movement speed reach beyond the speed limit?

-Give me some new action commands you can do in the game. I already got Talk, Sprint, and Pickpokcet.

Heh... Pretty much it. Post any suggestions and ideas for my map! Make Just remember that my map is based off real-life and a combination of Grand Theft Auto + The Sims.

Reset their levels at new careers, but store their levels at certain jobs that require high amos of time i.e. firefighter which requires some experience etc

Make a factory, power plant, and maybe a harbor
