Virtual Society Simulator – Community Guidelines
Welcome to the Virtual Society Simulator by Ththom Ideas — a shared canvas where the digital, the domestic, and the thoughtfully imagined come to life. If you’ve arrived with curiosity in your pocket and a desire to build immersive, meaningful environments that mirror (or meaningfully twist) the everyday world, you’ve found your place. This isn’t just a simulator—it’s a thoughtful exercise in collective construction. These guidelines help us preserve what makes this space supportive, insightful, and truly unique.
Founded by Vorric Dolthane, Ththom Ideas is grounded in a vision to reframe the familiar: examining how home spaces, interior styling, themes, and practical layouts influence both the tangible and virtual atmospheres we build around ourselves. Our simulator extends that practice into a collaborative experience—where story meets system, and imagination is gently scaffolded by empathy and good design thinking.
What This Space Is (and Isn’t)
Think of the Virtual Society Simulator as a thought experiment dressed in interior textures—a platform for testing ideas, stretching limits, and exploring people-place dynamics in safe digital environments. It’s not just about aesthetics (though we care deeply about that); it’s about interactions. About asking yourself, “What kind of world do I want to design? And who will thrive in it?”
Whether your virtual society leans whimsical, practical, minimalist, utopian, or something unspoken entirely, your contribution should respect the practical philosophy underlying Ththom: that ideas are lived in, not just looked at. Your design choices—be they spatial, social, thematic, or narrative—carry implications. This is your testing ground to explore them.
Our Shared Principles
At the core of our simulator community are values that help meaningful exploration take root. These aren’t restrictions—they’re supports, like the studs in a well-framed wall. Please build with:
- Respect: Every person brings a unique view. Whether you’re working on a minimalist apartment block or a fantastical sustainable spire, respect differing perspectives—and especially user feedback that gently pushes your concept deeper.
- Boundless Thoughtfulness: The simulator is a place to go beyond trends and surface glitz. Ask: Does this world model connection? Accessibility? Layered beauty?
- Constructive Dialogue: When ideas don’t align, invite discussion. Share insights from your process. Help others break creative inertia, not confidence.
- Curiosity as Compass: Be eager to learn from others’ structures, themes, or questions. Great societies—virtual or not—are open to change, input, and re-examination.
How We Interact (Inside and Outside the Blueprint)
Design doesn’t end when the render loads—and neither does collaboration. Every comment, contribution, and clarification shapes what we’re building here together. In that spirit:
- Be generous with detail when showcasing a virtual room, system, or society. If your world runs on an unconventional energy exchange system or relies on community-maintained atriums for mental health—say so.
- If you critique, be specific. Swap “I don’t like it” for “Would the vertical layout impact access for differently abled characters?”
- Link concepts back to real-world ideas when possible—especially if inspired by something from our interior styling work or a useful tip you encountered in design life.
In short: simulate with soul. This should feel like the right mix of thoughtful lab and imaginative sanctuary—a space where design meets storytelling without losing integrity in either.
Encouraged Participation
We’re planning, prototyping, and playing here—but always with a sense of purpose. You’re invited to:
- Show how your world handles resource allocation, rituals, or workflows tied to home life or shared spaces.
- Post a piece of your process—a drafted room diagram, a community concept, or inspiration drawn from Thom-themed décor principles (bonus for layering idea depth over style cues).
- Peer-review other entries with clarity and care. Every piece of considered feedback helps shape stronger creative systems.
- Stitch together internal behaviors with environments. How does a home space shape communication? What routine creates resiliency?
Content Boundaries
While the simulator encourages pushing limits, we ask everyone to uphold a standard of respectful and inclusive behavior. We won’t tolerate:
- Harassment, discriminatory themes, or stereotypical character systems
- Spammy cross-posting or blatant self-promotion unrelated to the simulation world
- Unconstructive negativity on others’ work or idea paths
- Explicit, violent, or harmful content without thoughtful context or purposeful framing
Moderation isn’t about removing daring ideas; it’s about making sure the simulation ecosystem remains rich, respectful, and expansive for all participants. Consider moderation your virtual zoning board—making space better for everyone, not shrinking your vision.
Intellectual Attribution and Citation
Design and ideas deserve attribution. When referencing methods, visual languages, or breakdowns borrowed from known authors, please include links or credit. If you’re incorporating inspiration drawn from a foundational piece—such as a breakdown from expert breakdowns—a quick mention brings clarity and builds shared trust within the simulator.
Everything in this space draws from ideas that came before it. The goal isn’t to gatekeep brilliance—it’s to highlight and protect its legacy even as we remix and renew it.
Privacy, Persona, and Presence
Even in simulation, real-world boundaries matter. Never post direct contact info in public posts. Avoid speculative modeling of real communities or individuals without their informed consent—even in inspired form. Account handles and virtual presence are part of a person’s identity—respect them the same way you’d want yours protected.
For more on how we protect your data and uphold your digital dignity, visit our Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, and Cookie Statement. These guardrails ensure that the play of simulation is never mistaken for permission to misuse.
Moderation and Collaborative Support
Our moderators aren’t just here to flag behavior—they’re your companions in keeping the creative flow open and steady. If an idea or exchange feels off, flag it thoughtfully or write to us at [email protected]. We respond with intention, gather context, and act with improvement in mind—not punishment. This isn’t moderation for the sake of order; it’s care work that ensures ideas have the right space in which to evolve responsibly.
If you’re unsure whether something belongs in your society simulation, a good compass question is: “Does this foster a better experience—for the characters, for me, and for those watching this unfold?”
Ongoing Inspiration Opportunities
The Virtual Society Simulator is just one stream in Ththom’s thoughtful ecosystem. If this experience has sparked larger narrative ideas or personal frameworks you’d like to explore further, let it be a launch point. We’ve cultivated spaces like practical setup tips to help you root visionary thinking into applicable design steps, and many of our creative contributors evolve simulator insights into larger concepts for home, life, and beyond.
About the Founder
Our founder, Vorric Dolthane, believes that the boundaries between digital imagination and physical reality are porous on purpose. His work in interiors, systems modeling, and thematic aesthetics fuels Ththom’s mission to build not just beautiful homes—but meaningful worlds. The simulator is one more reflection of his belief that intelligence + beauty + usefulness should exist in every space, even speculative ones.

Before You Submit
One final note before you upload that concept, publish that civic design, or respond to someone’s educational utopia: ask yourself—
“Am I helping the world I want to live in… take shape, even here?”
If the answer is yes, go ahead and hit submit. We’re ready to explore it with you.
