The City Ladder

Reputation, titles and Buzz
Reputation rises from work, showing up, social actions, civic duties, performances and helping people. It opens social doors and changes how the city greets you. It cannot be bought.
Titles are Newcomer, Local, Regular, A Name in the City, Certified Lagosian and Lagos Legend, based on reputation thresholds.
Buzz is social heat: nightlife, events and being seen. It decays on quiet days and can improve tables and attention. Buzz is not money and cannot be purchased.
Weekly story and season
The weekly story has seven steps: work a shift, visit three places, gist with two people, train a skill, spend on a night out, collect an album card and finish a daily-hustle day. Each step pays cash and season XP and resets each real week.
The season has 50 tiers. Hustles, shifts, goals, albums, raids and stories grant season XP. Free rewards appear every second tier; the optional pass adds cosmetic and convenience rewards. Nothing in the pass is required to earn money.
Life stages follow age: Teen, Young adult, Adult, Midlife and Elder. Younger Sims learn faster and have more energy; older Sims have slower days but no reduced access to core systems.
