Quit Lying Around, it's Work Time!

Are you tired of landing on TSO, only to find you just barely missed the first round of work? Just can't seem to get your greening time right? Or maybe you just use "just" to much when you could actually be working! No matter what the trouble is, we have your solution.

You may have noticed that the Sim Time has been displayed to the right-hand side of the site, as it still very much is. However, you will now notice an additional time, as well as a couple of links. This is the brand new work clock feature, counting down the minutes and seconds until your job start-time. It relies on your system clock being accurate, so make sure it is, or else you may find yourself locked out of the factory or attempting to work at the "day"club.

To use the new feature, simply click the change job link beneath the clock. You can choose from the Robot Factory, Restaurant, or Nightclub job tracks, and simply with a click of the mouse, your job information will be saved and appear on the side. If you don't see a change right away, refresh the main page and it will show up. Click the Open in New Window link beneath the side clock will open up a new window containing the Sim Time, the work countdown clock, and the additional feature of job tips and friendly reminders, such as when it is time to green, if work has just started, or various things to do to improve your efficiency and payouts.

Most of all, we would like to thank Miplet Bear for making much of the clock possible. Thank you, Miplet!

It's 10 o'clock. Do YOU know where your coworkers are?

Tone it Down a Bit...

A brand new and very useful addition has been made to the Catalogs section of the site. Why have just one skin tone when you can have three! All skin tones for Sim heads, both male and female, have been added for your viewing and choosing pleasure. Enjoy! You can see the new additions here.

Get the Skinny on the Hip Joint!

Golf clubs? Jack of clubs? Club sandwich? I don't think so.

We're talking the Nightclub, the brand new (Erm, sorta.) job that is in Test Center even as you read this! And now, you can be completely prepared for it because we have all new guides on how to get the best payouts, clues on how you are doing, and all the goodies that jobs entail, such as cars, outfits, and level pictures! Of course, the guides are constantly growing, and still need work, but for now, you will be the talk of the town when you hit that DJ booth or dance platform.

Enjoy! Check out the Nightclub job track guides in the Game Guides section!
