The Prison:</div>
<div class="p1">
To design something of this size and scope and run it, to cover the initial cost of the prison, and the people were all "motherloded" on a simple lot and then moved in. </div>
<div class="p1">
I took a 64x64 lot and built a wall/fence that extended to each corner. The prison has a large yard, room for 16 prisoners [sadly not possible], a shower room, and a large garden. The administrative building, located at the front of the prison, housed the warden, with a bedroom, bathroom, study, entertainment room, office, and entry way. A single door access on the front, locked with only the Warden allowed access to the private area of the building. The prison mess hall was also located in the administrative building, accessible by everyone. Each room (2x3) in the cellblock contains a single bed and a toilet. Each prisoner is the only one with access to his room. This is the only toilet access in the prison. Each prisoner is responsible for the proper flow of his toilet.</div>
<div class="p1">
The warden's "house" was in the administrative building, and included everything he needed to build character, knowledge and strength. Only he had access to these systems.</div>
<div class="p1">
There is a separate shower room that everyone shares containing four showers.</div>

The Lock System [this was crucial to the whole experiment working, and one of the reasons I decided to try a prison - with the possibility of locking doors to specific people, there could be ways to manipulate them. This was one of them]: The warden has keys to the following: front door, back door to yard, kitchen, all unoccupied cells. These are all marked "lock, everyone but me". Each prisoner has a lock on his/her door that only they can access. It's is also marked the same.</div>

The Restrictions [I decided that, since this was a prison, I would try to make it seem as much like a prison as possible, to see what the sims would do]:</div>
<div class="p1">
All food is prepared by the warden, and no leftovers are stored. The warden has exclusive access to the kitchen, and once food is prepared, brings it to a counter in the mess hall. The prisoners eat when the warden eats. No television or radio allowed, although there are chess tables and an art easel, as well as a garden. There is no lights out period, but if an inmate gets off schedule they may not be awake to eat when the warden eats. </div>
<div class="p1">
No outside career-building opportunities are allowed. Any and all wishes, unless they were to interact with another inmate or do something to better their time there, are not allowed. If a prisoner wants to learn how to garden, that's acceptable, however if an inmate wants to get a job, that is not allowed. </div>
<div class="p1">
Reading is allowed, and making prisoners learn gardening and other skills can be helpful, if that is the desired intention. Making prisoners clean and plunge toilets is also an encouraged behavior.</div>

The 3 Trials: </div>
<div class="p1">
The first trial run was done with limited knowledge of how the sims would react. Design of the prison was crucial to the system working. Most difficult was integrating the kitchen into the prison, yet still have its access limited to only the warden. The overall design of the first prison, while suitable, wasn't optimal. The warden's living space was very small, and prohibited him. The second prison had a larger, more accessible living space, while keeping most of the same elements of the first prison.</div>
<div class="p1">
A bulk of the time during the simulation was spent working on the wardens skills. He was a natural cook, computer nerd, genius, handy and clean to help speed along his progress. He progressed as expected, and built his skills quickly. Since he wasn't employed, he instead encouraged gardening and spent sparingly outside of the prison, with exceptions of groceries and books that were needed. </div>
<div class="p1">
His contact with the prisoners was limited to mealtimes, as he was usually busy with other things. </div>

The prisoners, for the 1st trial, were all men, each given one negative trait and other more normal social traits. </div>
<div class="p1">
They received almost no help during the game and were left to roam free. They started by getting to know each other, having standard agreements and disagreements, and eventually picking friends and enemies. Some painted, some played games, and some, once encouraged, did quite a bit of gardening.</div>
<div class="p1">
Each cell has a bed and a toilet, and since this is the only toilet access a prisoner has, they're responsible for keeping it clean. At the beginning, most don't care and use it until it clogs. By the third day or so, each prisoner will have to spend a majority of the day [when they're feeling like it] cleaning their toilet. That wasn't easy to do. Most were pretty depressed by day three.</div>
<div class="p1">
The most difficult adjustment came at mealtimes, since many of the prisoners didn't do much, so they didn't have regular sleeping patterns. Some got on night shifts, while others were up early. After considerable time, they all got to a point where they were roughly on the same sleep pattern. That is, until I gave the warden a lifetime reward of No Hunger, or whatever that slower metabolism trait is called. This changed the entire face of the simulation. The longer times between meals, sometimes only one-a-day, meant that the prisoners were hardly eating. They were already all stir crazy and, by this time, fighting. After a few days of the warden's lifetime reward, the prisoners started to starve. While sleeping one night, 2 prisoners died from starvation, but the Grim Reaper decided to only take one. The surviving prisoner became very difficult and fought with everybody. He couldn't be in the same room with people without there being tension.</div>
<div class="p1">
There were no romances, although there were people having wishes for them. One prisoner with a Green Thumb and a Loves Outdoors was able to spend his whole day gardening, which was great for food stocks and extra cash in sales. </div>
<div class="p1">
As prisoners finished art projects, those were hung in their cells. </div>
<div class="p1">
As the warden was created as an adult, when he died of old age, everyone in the prison, who were created as young adults, starved. The gardener was the last alive, eating rations from his backpack.</div>

<div class="p1">
The 2nd trial run had some modifications to the building, specifically more for the warden's lifestyle, as well as a smaller, more purpose-driven kitchen. </div>
<div class="p1">
I increased the amount of negative traits to three, and made the prison co-ed. Also, to consider the future, I trimmed the prisoners down to six to leave an open spot in case the warden found a spouse. I added a Friendly trait to the warden and intended to have him interact with the prisoners more. I also made the prisoners tinker with their toilets until they got them to a self-cleaning state.</div>
<div class="p1">
Because of the increase in negative traits, the prison started out rough and got worse. There was a lot of sneaking, fighting, arguing, yelling. Not very many green status bars. </div>
<div class="p1">
The warden had a few different traits, being made a bit more "normal" and not so talented at everything. He was Good, Nice, Friendly, a Natural Cook, and Funny. Despite these traits, he had difficulty socially, as many time he'd chat with a prisoner and get along, only for that prisoner to snap due to the amount of negative traits they had. They'd eventually do something rotten that would take away all the progress that had been made. An effort was made to go out of the prison, but the world I was working in for the test didn't have many people in it. </div>
<div class="p1">
There were no deaths before their time. People came close, but all were fed. I decided not to give the Time Between Meals lifetime wish to the warden this time around, and the simulation ran smoothly. </div>

<div class="p1">
The 3rd trial run was a full test: all negative traits for all prisoners, and prisoners who started fights would be put into solitary confinement [a small room, w/bed, toilet, sink, stove, locked by the warden]. Because I took a more active approach in what the prisoners were doing, the warden's skill-building suffered. While he was able to learn cooking quickly, he did nothing of significance in his life. And although he hadn't ever met his lifetime wish, he had success with book publishing and art sales. On the 3rd trial he was barely efficient enough to take care of the place, and often spent his time doing menial cleaning tasks. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
With all the negative traits, most of the managed to get along surprisingly well, considering the circumstances. In fact, running with less negative traits gave more results of negative occurrences than with more.</div>

<div class="p1">
Some of the people:</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
The Sniveling, Cowardly Pick-Pocket - Probably the best problem starter. Never a dull moment when he was around. He took everything that wasn't his, hoarded it, was hated by everybody, and was the root of most problems. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
The Black Widow - Great Kisser, full of romance, yet completely Evil. She was desired by everyone yet hated by many. Frequently the cause of intense jealousy and fights.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
The Lone Outdoorsman - Doesn't like talking, doesn't like being inside, has a Green Thumb. Probably the most productive member of the yard.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
The Sensitive Artist - I couldn't resist this one, although I ended up hating the character. Completely whiny, always complaining, never doing anything, yet wanting to be the constant center-of-attention.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
The Wimpy Businessman - Using "Coward" as a trait makes the game very interesting. The rest of the character can be just about anything, but adding Coward in there guarantees social problems.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Assorted Thugs, Mugs and Ne'er-Do-Wells - These were usually done through a random draw of the characters in development, with a few minor tweaks to their wishes, dreams and traits. I used randomly-generated characters frequently and tried to keep them true to the experiment. Through the different trials I tweaked things differently. By the time the third trial was underway, all the prisoners were custom built.</div>

How The Game Acted:</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Since the locking system was crucial to the whole experiment, it had to work, and it was very successful. Designing the access ways and restricted areas proved to be an interesting challenge. </div>
<div class="p1">
How To Lock Doors: While playing, select a character, then select a door in the house. You'll be given options that can affect who uses the door and who doesn't. </div>
<div class="p1">
I have used the locking system to successfully create apartment buildings, complexes and multi-family homes, all with exclusive access to particular people. I think it's one of the game's best features, and adds many levels of possibility.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
One difficult aspect was keeping my hands out of the prisoners' business. The less interaction I had with the prisoners, the more interesting the game was. Toilet training was one of the longer and more difficult aspects, as they all needed it. Watching a prisoner die, come back to life, then lead a hellish existence afterward was very interesting. </div>

This is the smallest possible track with Carrera Evolution. I've seen these advertised on the Internet for 30euro, including everything but cars.<br />

Here's the setup that I got out of the box, entitled "LeMans Race". I usually have a drumkit sitting in that corner. Later, to get it up off the ground, I'll add two desks, that bedframe in the background, and some layers of cardboard boxes.<br />

It's one of the better layouts, as it is challenging, evenly matched, and allows for a good amount of drifting. It would be great with wider-radius turns and a load more straights. I'm not a fan of overpasses, though. I'm trying to get around that.<br />

I got an extension set [26955 - 2 straights, 4 short R1 curves]. It allowed me a little more flexibility in design, most notably the ability to make 90ยบ turns. That requires more space than I have, though.<br />

Time to get it off the ground. Here's the thing: we're moving soon, and I can't be spending money on wood for this house. I'm going to wait until we're in our proper house and then start making the slot car monster. Until then, I have to improvise with what I have. The base consists of a desk at both ends, with the bedframe acting as a sort of.....frame....then a few layers of folded cardboard boxes, all topped with a leftover rug. It can be broken down in about 20 minutes when I need to set up my drumkit. I've got my eye on the attic in our new house.<br />

Getting off the ground saved my back. Bottom line. Best reason to do it.<br />

I'm able to use varying amounts of cardboard to provide elevation. I've been focusing on building tracks that have some form of variation. I'm also hoping to add some of the larger radius curve pieces. That'll give me a lot of flexibility in track design.<br />

One of my favorite designs. It has good technical and still is fast. Both lanes are kept busy, so it's a challenge with either one. The idea could easily be expanded upon with more track.<br />

Here are some other tracks I've been able to make with the existing pieces I have:<br />
