The more i think about this, the bigger it gets.
The joke I made above about takin over a sim, heh, doesn't seem like much of a joke really. With all the ideas I have in my head, it could very easily cover a major part of a sim. I'm talkin about a bowling alley, mini-golf, movie theatre, a mini college, auditorium, and a casino to name some. All this along with storefronts....yeah big.
Obviously there will be profits to be had here and I alone cant run it all. There will be several areas where I need quality people to head it up. I'll try to get something whipped up maybe in 3D Architect to give an idea of what I have envisioned. That way those os us that have decision-making abilities can work in the same direction. I want this is to be treated just as a real life project of this magnitude would be. That includes giving contracts to people for various services or projects. I want to get as many people as possible involved.
Main thing is the building that will house the storefronts. The interior main area will be huge, with the storefronts lined up along both sides. These storefronts will all be identical except for each businesses signs above the entryway. THe interior of each store can be built to suit, or the lessor can customize as needed.
I will start a Corporation (group) comprised of the "decision makers" for this. Stellar, since you were the first to respond with interest, you can be my cohort, partner in crime, Assistant CEO, etc. Whatever you want to call yourself. This group will be the "builders" for this and will oversee all projects.
On another note, I don't think I like the name Arbuckle's Grand Emporium anymore. It doesn't seem to fit givin the scope of all this. IRL we have "the Mall of America" and similar names for large malls. I want something like this if anyone has any ideas.
Well, i just had to write something down, my head was about to explode over it hehe.
I do want to point out 1 thing.
This is a very large undertaking. Many people's talents will be needed. Some projects given out will be for pay, other more advanced projects will be for a free storefront, position in the corporation or both.
I really think this can be a fun project. I'm havin fun just thinkin about it
