Step 1: A Look

This is where you create your actual VMK character. First, pick your gender (wether you are a boy, or girl). Then, simply scroll through the different options for shoes, bottoms, tops, hair, and more to find a look you like. And last, click "Next" for the next step. :)

Step 2: A Name

This step is about creating your name in VMK. You can come up with a cool name that fits you! Just simply type it in the box that says "Your Guest Name." But sometimes, your name won't get accepted. VMK has a strict, but fair, dictionary. It makes sure everyone isn't saying things they shouldn't. Your name will flash red if it isn't acceptable. But VMK may also give you a pop-up in this step saying your name wasn't accepted. Just come up with a new name. But there is one more thing. Someone might have already choosen the name you want. In that case, VMK will give you some other suggestions. Keep working until you find a name for you. When you're finished, click "Next." :)

Note! Keep in mind that VMK will have to review your name one last time after you create it. For about a day or two, your name will be "Guest" with a number beside it. But no worries, your name will get through quickly if accepted.

Step 3: A Signature

Now that you've got the perfect name, it's time to tell a bit about you. Not your age, or your name, because that is personal info, and it is against the VMK Values. Tell about your interests, such as, "I like to read." Anytime someone clicks on your character in the game, they can see what your signature says. But like I said before, if the VMK dictionary doesn't like some of the words in your signature, then the unacceptable words will flash red. Just change those, and you'll be good to go. Click "Next" when you're finished. :)

Step 4: A Room

Okay, this is the semi-final step. Then you can enjoy the awesome game that VMK is! All you have to do, is click on the picture of the room you would like to have. Yes, you get your very own room! You can make it anything you like. So, be proud! Give it a cool name, and description, and then click "OK." Same goes here about the dictionary. If it flashes red, change the word.

Step 5: VMK Contract

This is the simpliest step of them all. VMK will show you a contract that states that you'll follow the VMK Values. (Might want to read up on those before you play!) If you promise to be good, and follow the values, then click "Accept." (If you click "Decline", you can't play) Now, let the adventure begin. Enjoy your first day in VMK! :)
