PC Builder Sim
PC Builder Sim places the player in charge of a small computer repair business left behind by an absent relative. Customers send messages describing broken systems, requested upgrades, or complete builds with specific budgets. The story is presented through these emails rather than cutscenes. Some clients return with additional requests, allowing short personal situations to continue while the workshop develops from a basic operation into a profitable business.
Reading the Request Before Ordering Parts
Every job begins with a list of required results. A customer may need more storage, additional memory, virus removal, a replaced graphics card, or enough performance to reach a benchmark target. Optional preferences can mention a favored manufacturer, cable color, or delivery deadline. The player must examine these details, identify compatible parts, and purchase only what the budget allows. Incorrect orders reduce profit and can delay completion.
Assembly Takes Place Component by Component
Computers are placed on a workbench and opened manually. The player removes screws, disconnects cables, and takes out parts before installing replacements. Building a new system requires a compatible case, motherboard, processor, cooler, memory, storage, power supply, and graphics hardware. Thermal paste must be applied where required, and every component needs the correct power or data connection before the machine can start.
A typical repair or build involves:
- Accepting a customer request by email
- Inspecting the computer for missing or damaged parts
- Removing dust or scanning for viruses
- Checking component compatibility
- Ordering hardware within the available budget
- Installing parts in the correct sequence
- Connecting power and data cables
- Starting the system and running diagnostic software
- Returning the finished computer before the deadline
Jobs, Reputation, and Workshop Growth
PC Builder Sim does not use traditional action levels. Career progression is divided into workdays, customer jobs, reputation levels, and business upgrades. Successful orders provide money and experience, while positive reviews unlock more complex assignments and additional hardware. Earnings must cover parts, delivery charges, rent, and other workshop expenses. Free Build mode removes financial restrictions and lets players assemble experimental systems, while the tutorial mode explains the basic construction process.
