[hecatomb]

Are there any guidelines everyone is following for these?

 

I'm going to create some venues for a save I'm in and figured I could post them here as well and stick to any rules if they exist.

 

The only things I really see are that they are not real venues but based on a similar but alternate reality(Cverse) and they need to be 100+ capacity.

 

Also, am I crazy and just don't see a database to download or is it waiting to be released when they all are 10/10? I was going to download it to get a better sense in the editor of what kinds of places already exist and what is needed.

[hecatomb]

I went ahead and added the ones I liked from this list and have made a few before bed.

 

UEW in Iberia is doing well in my save with a number of friendly deals from Japanese companies so I'm focusing on it at the moment.

 

I feel like sticking to English for these suited what I am doing because it may make the locations easily understandable for a broader group(including myself). I'll probably use the native language for anything with a single word to give it a local nod. I don't want to make silly errors since translations don't always work well. Also, I'm not using special characters to avoid any possible issues.

Hey answering on my phone so beware typos. The only guidelines are like you said 100+ people and no real world venues. There isn’t a database to download right now cause I’m gonna wait till at least one country is completely done to release a beta database to check it all out.

Venue Name: Vinyl Wish Records

Open Date: 2014

Location: South East

Venue Size: 144

Description: Founded in 1992, Vinyl Wish Records is a small record store and even smaller music venue located just outside of Nashville in Franklin. Almost always on the brink of closing, a resurgence in the popularity of records led to the purchase of an adjacent building in 2014 where they opened the event area. The live music shows rarely make a profit so the owners have gotten creative with supporting different kinds of events. Small wrestling shows are reasonably common in the space.

 

 

Venue Name: The Magic Room

Open Date: 1998

Location: South East

Venue Size: 210

Description: The Magic Room is an interesting event space in Orlando. Originally a church built in 1952, the property was purchased during a population boom in the late 1980s. The space was converted into a souvenir shop associated with a large theme park in the area. Wanting to distance itself from the notable oddity that was souvenirs being sold in a church, the company moved its location in 1998. After this, the building has been promoted as an event space with cycling owners but the type and frequency of its use has continued to grow. A little over 200 people can be crammed into the space for wrestling shows but the setting is worth it with the back wall covered in stained glass.
