Obscura Network

Current Mod Version: 1.0.0
Release Date: Dec 27, 2024 (Early Access)

What does this mod do?

Obscura Network is not just a dark web—it’s a mystical world governed by its own rules. To access it, your Sims will need to dig deep into the internet, uncover hidden information, and unlock the gateway. But beware: Obscura does not tolerate recklessness.

Sims with a low Obscura Skill level are at the mercy of the network’s punishments. Carelessness may lead to more than just viruses or computer breakdowns—it could result in something far more sinister. Rumor has it that the network can drain a Sim’s energy, or plunge them into an slumber. No one knows what will happen, but one thing is clear: Obscura punishes those who fail to show respect.

To avoid these dangers, your Sims must develop their skills in the Obscura Network. But remember, the network is always watching. Are your Sims ready to face its mysteries and perils? The Obscura Network awaits those bold enough to cross its threshold.

The Obscura Market contains all items that were previously included in SimSim Rough Area from SimSim Online Store (there it was removed) and many new items that have been newly added. The previous Dark Web Skill from SimSim Online Store has been completely reworked and is now available as the new Obscura Network Skill.

Main Features

• Buying forbidden and rare goods on the black market.
• Possibility of running into viruses and scammers.
• Possibility of being under police surveillance
• New Minor Skill: Obscura Network (with 5 levels).
• New Fear: Fear of Obscura.

Many features are still in their early stages of development. Thank you for your feedback, ideas and suggestions. Please tell me if the negative effects occur too often or too rarely. And please also describe which of the effects you have observed. Please also share about any bugs and problems in the game.
