SDY_Raising - Raising Sim for RPG Maker MZ

A raising sim in one plugin

SDY_Raising gives you everything a "pick an activity each week" raising sim needs: stats with gauges, a schedule screen, results, success and failure, a turn count, story hooks and an ending trigger. Set it up in the plugin parameters and call one plugin command. No scripting.

Try it first: the free trial (SDY_Raising Lite) is in the downloads below: the schedule screen with up to 3 stats and 4 activities, results, turns and the ending trigger. When you upgrade, just replace the file. Your events keep working.

New in v1.1 (October 19, 2026)

• Stat ranks S to E at the right of every gauge. Set the letters, where each rank starts (% of the way from min to max), the colors and the number of ranks.
• Gauge-only view: hide the numbers so players see "about a B" instead of exact values.
• Rank up / rank down lines in the result popup ("Strength rank up! C → B").
• Get Stat Rank plugin command: puts the rank letter and a rank number into variables, ready for contests, exams and endings.

Features

• The classic schedule screen: turn and gold on top, portrait and stat gauges on the left, activities on the right, description and effect preview at the bottom.
• Your own stats: name, min, max, icon and gauge color. Every value lives in a game variable, so normal events can read and change it.
• Your own activities: random stat changes ("Strength +3 to 6, Fatigue +10 to 15"), gold cost or income, success rate.
• Stats change the odds: e.g. the more tired, the easier to fail. Failure has its own effects and text.
• Results line by line with success / failure headings and sounds.
• Turns: "Week 21 / 48 (Summer)" style text, with repeating period names like seasons or months.
• Story every turn: a common event runs after each activity for story scenes and checks. The screen reopens by itself when it has finished.
• Per-activity common events (a library scene after "Study"...).
• Ending trigger: after the last turn a switch turns ON and a common event runs. Branch on the stats for multiple endings.
• Unlock activities with switches, show seasonal activities with groups.
• Lower-is-better stats like fatigue or stress (red when up, green when down).
• Change the portrait as the character grows, or use an actor's face instead.
• Keyboard, gamepad and touch / mouse. All text can be changed. Help in English and Japanese.
