You went through the orientation and know how to walk and chew gum at the same time, etc.? How about being able to "jump" to other locations?

The object is to pretend it's real life? I went looking for a rental office to get an apartment but they were more expensive than I wanted to spend. I went looking for land, too, to see what was for sale and thought about that. You have to create a life from scratch, can get a job, etc. When I joined (I was in grad school and someone mentioned it and a couple of us went off to check it out) I spent a little more per month/period? so I'd have more money at my disposal but it still wasn't enough and I wasn't clever enough to figure out how to make more "fast enough".

But I suggest thinking of something you do in real life and going about looking for how it manifests there; go to a town center and look for a rental place, for example, or see if you can figure out how to get a job/find an employment agency, etc. I went through a store/art gallery (next to the rental place I think :-)

I did find houseboats for rent :-) but they were way out of my league, more like vacation boats. I also found a police car and there weren't any people around so I decided to ask the cop directions but was told I was attempting to steal the cop car and that wasn't allowed :-) It all takes a huge amount of practice. Have you tried to use the shapes to "build" anything? Impossible. One of the small islands/places for sale that I looked at to buy was literally littered :-) with boxes and other building materials. If I were there nowadays I think I'd make a little business disposing of random building materials :-)

It's definitely not intuitive. The only "easy"/fun thing that happened to me was a machine gave me a free Coke! That was nice. Was near the cop car in an industrial area.
