OVERVIEW
PHYSIOLOGICAL NEEDS
RESTORING METERS
  • Enhance your roleplay immersive experience by simulating the following physiological conditions of your avatar:

  1. Hunger

  2. Thirst

  3. Energy

  4. Health

  5. Hygiene

  6. Toilet

  7. Procreation

  • To satisfy the Need, your avatar needs to eat, drink, rest, shower and use the toilet

  • The HUD interacts with scripted food / drink / furniture / items that will restore the Needs meters.

​

 

  • Each of the 5 physiological needs (Hunger, Thirst, Energy, Hygiene, Toilet) has a meter will decrease from 100% to 0% over a period of time.      

  • The speed at which each of these 5 meters drops is called the consumption Rate, measured in number of seconds where it will drop by 20%.   

  • You can customise* the Rate for each meter.

  • You can customise* the emotes for each Need per 20%. Emotes are owner-only to avoid chat pollution.

  • When any of the Hunger, Thirst, or Energy meters reach 0%, it will have an adverse effect on your avatar's Health.   

​

* For authorised users (eg. sim owner) for RPG Edition only

  • To restore Hunger / Thirst meters, your avatar needs to consume food and drinks.

  • To restore Energy meter, your avatar needs to rest.

  • To restore Hygiene meter, your avatar needs to use the shower or bath or amenities for washing.

  • To restore Toilet meter, your avatar need to relieve himself/herself.

  • To restore Health meter, your avatar needs medical treatment.

REST INDICATOR

  • Click on the Rest Indicator to check your current consumption Rates.

  • While you are sitting on an object (regardless of any pose or animation), it is assumed your avatar is at rest, so your consumption Rates will be halved. The Rest Indicator will light up.

  • When your avatar stands up, your Rates will go back to normal.


PREGNANCY MODE INDICATOR

  • If you click the button with the pregnant icon at the top of the HUD, the HUD will go into pregnancy mode.

  • In pregnancy mode, consumption Rates will be doubled.

  • This button will be disabled if you have the Conception add-on (ie. Lifestyle Edition Adult)

Clock

STANDARD CONSUMPTION RATES

​

The default SL day cycle (if region owner does not set custom time of day or custom day cycle) is four hours long, with three hours of daylight and one hour of night.

​

The following are the standard consumption rates for the Lifestyle Edition (Adult and Lite) which correspond with the SL day of 4 hours RL time.

hunger.jpg

HUNGER consumption rate has been set to 1 hour (3600 seconds), so that roughly speaking your avatar needs to eat 3 times in the SL day. The meter would have fallen to 40% by the end of the SL day if your avatar had not eaten at all.

hygiene.jpg

HYGIENE rate is set to 4 hours (14400 seconds). So that you feel the need to take a shower if you have not done so for one SL day.

​

​

thirst.jpg

THIRST rate is set to slightly shorter than the Hunger rate (3000 seconds). Usually death by dehydration happens faster than by starvation.

toilet.jpg

TOILET rate is set to slightly more than 1 hour (4000 seconds). Your avatar will need to relieve himself/herself if he/she has not gone to the loo for 3 hours.

energy.jpg

ENERGY rate is set to 3 hours (10800 seconds). If your avatar does not sleep for 1 SL night, he/she will be tired can still function. If he/she does not sleep for 3 SL days and nights, he/she will be exhausted.

procreation.jpg

CYCLE (PROCREATION) rate is set to 4 hours (14400 seconds) which is one SL day.

​

These Rates (with the exception of Procreation) will become halved when the avatar is resting, and will double if the avatar is pregnant.

​

Rates for the Lifestyle Edition Junior will be faster than the Adult/Lite, depending on their virtual age.
