Seems this is the thread this should go in, so here goes.
I decided to skill sims in TC3 recently, because I fear skill houses will give it up in time. I had a really hard time finding body most of the time, so I offered to move into one house so that I would have a place to skill. The owner was happy to have a roomate that actually helps, most are unskilled, off to work, no shows. After a few days of helping to host that house, while my other sim skilled, I must say, there is no way I would ever run a skill house under these conditions. I have spent far more on feeding sims and calling the repairman than I have come close to collecting in my little tip jar. And yes, I was a good host, I cooked for them, I kept them full of energy and social, trouble is, most players just don't bother tipping ---> . I saw so many landing from a sim job, green up, skill a bit, green up, and off to work they went again. Now I have no idea who has been in TC3 telling all the newbies that a sim job is the thing to do first but it sure seems someone has. The game play there is like an entire foreign version of the TSO I loved. I have done sim jobs, I know they don't pay much. They certainly don't get you far with no skills, and few friend links, yet these poor new players are thinking they have to go to work. They don't seem to be having much fun, work work work... and I didn't see any of them saying they were enjoying it. I just want to say Shame on YOU to whoever is feeding them with "get a job" so early in their sim days. I can't imagine this way of playing making them want to become subscribers.

Getting a job in TC3 is the best way to get involved and have fun interacting with others. Forming work groups and going to work with other people is actually fun and interactive. You would rather them sit around in an afk skill house for hours? We've seen how many players that kept. Jam after jam bored more players to death than I can possibly count. I recommend the job tracks to all new players because once you have promoted through the ranks, the diner and robot jobs pay the most amount of simoleans for time spent working than anything else in TC3 at this time. I will continue to reccommend this interactive form of entertainment to all new players. Many of us have alot of fun working together.
As for working in a skill house. I agree with you there. Anyone that enjoys running a skill house is a saint in my book and I always tip!
