1) What sorts of Characters do you allow here?

Everyone on the SIM must look human in order to participate in the RP.  Setting is very important to Elk point and breaking the setting is not something we allow so please no elf ears, tails, anamorphic avatars, wings or anything else that would look supernatural.  Fully animal avatars are allowed however can not be doing anything which would be "human" in interpretation.  IE: No kittens who are doctors, or bear bar tenders and they can not speak.

2) Do you allow sex on SIM?

yes, we are an adult rated SIM.  

3) What sorts of Stories am I allowed to play here?

Anything!  As long as it doesn't break TOS.... we do not wish to control the players on this SIM, think of it like a setting and you as the amazing actors and writers to fill it.  We only ask that you hold to the setting so that other people can enjoy playing in it as well, otherwise have fun and above all be creative we are excited to see what you can come up with.

4)  Where are we in the world / what state are we in / where are we in that state?  

We are in the United State of America on the east coast, in the state of Maryland.  We are two fictional communities on the most southern end of Baltimore in the Patapsco river district.  For those of you that want to get this specific we are between the 895 bridge and the 695 bridge.  So now you can visit us for real!....well...if Elk point actually existed :P But you can google map it and see the area the SIM is based off of, it's really pretty.

6) What Weapons am I allowed to use?  

Anything that can legally be carried in the state of Maryland can be used on this SIM.  (and a few that arn't legal but you have a plausible reason why your character might have them) Please keep in mind if using automatic weapons that this is not an excuse to powergame, you can not attack everyone in a restaurant and give no one time to respond for example and there must be a plausible explanation as to why you have a weapons like that and are using it openly.  Consequences for such behavior if you are caught could be severe so keep that in mind as well, all actions on this SIM have reactions in the story...some you might not expect.  

Any weapons that can destroy a building, bombs...missile launchers etc need admin approval.  Solaris guards her build like a werecat guards it's kittens...no joking...don't destroy her buildings without asking or she might show claws.  

7) Where / What is Fishers Hallow?

There are two distinct sub divisions on the SIM, Elk Point which is on the ground level at the landing point and is the richer area of the SIM, and Fishers Hallow which is built in a skybox and is the slums and school district.  Fishers Hallow can be accessed either through the teleporter directly to the school at the landing point, or by taking the ferry across from the hospital.   In Character, the only way to get to Fishers Hallow is to take the ferry service from one harbor to the other.  Yes it is a car ferry, you can bring your motorcycle, car, or Bicycle.  

8) Where is the School?

The School "River Valley Academy" can be found in the Fishers Hallow portion of the SIM.  There is a teleporter directly to the school at the landing point if you look for the schools mascot, the Pirates and click on it.  

River Valley Academy is a Pilot program school offering only the last year of High School and some University Classes, so please be aware that although this is a school setting no characters under the age of 18 are allowed in the Fishers Hallow area.

9) How do I rent / open a business here?  

Renting or opening a business on SIM is easy although there are a few steps to take.  So that everyone has a fair chance at RP we only allow a certain number of each type of business on the SIM, you can find out how many of each business there are on SIM by looking at our business directory Here.   Once you have determined that we have not reached the maximum number of your planned type of business, then you can add your new business to the forum with the business address you are looking for, then the requested shop will then be unlocked and reserved for you and you can open your new business!

There are no approvals, and no applications it is up to you to know what businesses are available and what shops are open to rent and their address, anything else is up to you and your creativity.  How you run your business and what it's purpose is, is totally and completely up to you.   

10) Do you reserve / hold rentals?  

Yes we will reserve or hold a rental for up to 24 hours. We unfortunately can not hold it longer than that amount of time.

11)  Will you change the building my rental is in?

No, at this time that is not a service we can offer, whatever rental you choose is a permanent building.

12) Can you lower or increase my prim limit?  

Sometimes we can offer that service, sometimes we can not it depends on the building, the rental and our current occupancy.  If you would like to know about a specific rental please as Sariayna Yuhara.  

13) What can I put / not put in my rental.  

Private homes are yours to do with as you like, as long as the objects do not break immersion or the setting of the SIM and do not extend beyond the walls of your rental,  you can decorate it however you like. (yes this means as many kinky porn pictures as your heart desires)   Business rentals are open RP spaces so we ask that each business keep this in mind when decorating.  While you are allowed to sell your personal products on the SIM, please make it look like a real modern day store where someone could play shopping or working.  Vendors are allowed, as long as they are not the main focus of the space.  

14)     Who are the Owners / admins / mods

We have three types of "Admins" on this SIM (although we prefer to think of ourselves as storytellers, not admins)  There are the Owners , Jourdain Oleander and Sariayna Yuhara we work hard to make a setting for everyone with general day to day management, rental management and other business management of the SIM, or play the Sims environment when called on.  We also set the rules and ensure play is fair.  In the future we will likely also have Moderators who will assist us with this as needed. Solaris Islay and Alec Dammondred are our builders and web designers they make sure the SIM and website look beautiful and can answer SIM questions if no other Moderator is around however might take longer to respond as they are often working in Blender or on a website and distracted by shiny things and teeny tiny details.   

All of our admin team is held to a set of standards which can be found here If you have a concern about how a moderator is acting please feel free to speak with us, we don't bite promise! Although Saria might get spanked, three times.  

15) My Question wasn't on the FAQ!

If you have any more questions you can find our contact information here and we will be glad to answer them for you.  All of us can also be reached in world and we are happy to talk to you there.  We really are very friendly, even Solaris, as long as you don't point missile launchers at her buildings.......
