Credit Rating
Your credit rating will dictate how much of a down payment you need to make when purchasing a property, what interest rate you will pay on the money
you borrow and your credit card limits. Just like in the real world your credit rating will improve when you show that you are a responsible manager
of money. Paying your bills on time and paying off a house mortgage are both examples of events that will lead to a better credit rating. Missing a
payment on a bill, a mortgage payment or getting foreclosed upon will hurt your credit rating.
The yellow credit meter in the middle bottom of the main game screen will show you how far you have to go before your next credit rating
improvement. Clicking on the meter will bring up the credit rating screen. At the top of the credit rating screen you will see your name above a
line of text that describes your current credit rating. Below your credit report is a chart that shows the credit points and assets required to
achieve each credit rating.
