The Life Simulator

Regarding the restaurant/real estate, etc., businesses, those are not considered real 'jobs', per se. They are side income. So you can't use the regular Work/Overtime buttons. You can keep a regular job whiley ou own the restaurant.

I had to do this with my Uber driver and kept his actual career as "Uber Driver" even when I didn't have to work, as if I didn't I wouldn't get the money you get when you are away form the game and come back.

Similar with being an Author/DJ/Youtube Star, etc. - once you start on a project (movie/book/track/video), the Work/Overtime buttons will activate and you can use those to advance the project ... but you don't get monthly money unless you actually have revenue from former projects (I got up to 20k a week eventually after I had managed to make many many Youtube videos, for example, and got up to the max experience.)

When happiness is low, you go on vacation. You can use anything under the vacation tab. When health is low, you must go to the health tab and use anything except meditation. Meditation is only for sanity.

No wonder why I died so quick. I meditated so much it killed me. Lol. But I also took pills so that may be part of it.

Just died as a crazy cat lady because I was completely broke and my health went down to 0 I guess. I think I did it twice. And I was broke and had NO education in this life so basically I was stuck with the pan handler job.

I didn't do that one yet my job was the burger flipper but I started to lose a lot of money when I turned on all my subscriptions like jim membership and internet services and some other things. And I turned on where the bank pays for everything instead of me having to do it manually so that probably was part of me losing money and becoming bankrupt.

Okay, now have stuff to become dj and youtube star. How do I do that? It just says level newbie and then 0.00 something. Sometimes it says resume project.E

I know how to do. I currently have one track and two videos and all are terrible but I think they will get better.

I am broke again. blah. Okay, I can finally be a dj , I cannot do crimes because I get caught all the time. Sory for my poor typing but I am in a very bouncing car.ork a lot but now my character is in debt and when I work it bbe siims

This is so clean and there is not a lot of story so you can do things. I have trouble with the cat lady. Broke, blah. Don't like. But this will always stay on my phone together with the oter two games.

Wich of Bit Life, Alter Ego or BitLife do you think has more content?E

Sadly I don't think I'll be able to get it. The philanthropy projects seems to be a bit crazy.

I have made 9 tracks but how in the world do I increase skill? It still says newbie. Broke again. Blah.

Eventually you'll gain more skill.

Now I am a DJ with sixty tracks. I am not broke any more but am saving up for an elixir of youth but I have a long way to go.
I am not doing any of my jobs because I am focusing on making more tracks, apps, movies and books.
The problem is I am getting old wich I realize because I have a lot of health warnings. So this is why I need the elixir. Think I will buy some stocks.

Did anyone buy sandbox feature? I know it says you could customize cash and some other things. I know that might be cheating but I don't know if I should buy it or if its worth anything really.

I bought the upgrade that was like $13 CAD and incldued Sandbox mode, all the perks available and "future updates", whatever that meant. I've yet to try the Sandbox mode, but will maybe try it out once I've finished getting some of the achievements. (That was the one thing that gave me pause in doing a Sandbox game - I couldn't try to unlock some of the achievements to get more perks.)

Yes it is cheating, but you can actually start at 8 years and get a head-start on things. Good for playing around. I also got the master purchase.

Ok. I'm not sure what I want to do since I'm always so unsuccessful. I mean like when I tap on the work button a few times I get a pop up saying I'm depressed and end up dieing. Wonder if I press the work and either the over night or over time button if a day passes or a week. Still trying to figure out that because when I tap on the work button I press all nighter a few times well and then I press over time. Lol.

They kill quickly lol. You will work harder and pay more, but your health will deteriorate 3 times faster. Better to just work normally. When you live in a luxurious house, eat the best diet and own all Subscriptions, you can do all nighters.

All nighter and overtime is just harder shifts with more hours.

I will try that. And when I turn on my subscriptions I lose money faster.

You can keep millions in the bank and let your interests pay for your subscriptions.

I guess I will just buy the sandbox mode then. I don't mind collecting perks daily.

This is very important. Not only will it allow you to get daily rewards, but you also unlock other scenarios. I of course used time altering in order to cheat my way through and by doing this, I have unlocked all scenarios. I have reason to believe that I am now banned from the leaderboard, because I am no longer allowed to watch any ads, but that does not bother me. All I ever want is to mind my own business and get things as fast as possible. If you care about the leaderboard, don't do what I do lol.

To be honest, it took me a while to figure out the best approach to stop from getting the "depressed" popups evrey so often.

I think I start out tapping the "Work" or "Ovetime" icon twice, then switching to the "Vacation" or "Love" tab to do a few leisure things to keep the person sane/happy and then back to work/overtime. You need to be aware of how much money you can make with each press fo the Work/Overtime button, plus how much you lose via expenses every week (yoiu can see this at the bottom of the "Bank" tab.)

I don't do Subscriptions until I know I can afford it. Basically the Subscriptions, i believe, are just a steady weekly + to your Happiness or Sanity ... but if you have to work so much to pay for them that the work strses makes you lose more happiness than the subscription gains you, then they are not worth it.

Hardest part is in the beginning when you are trying to go to college. You kind of have to do a couple taps of "Overtime", go to Education and do aacouple taps (or maybe only 1) of the degree, then do a leisure activity, then back to working.

Right now my person is a CEO and is making the big bucks when she does "Overtime" (but this job apparently has extra sanity drains - there is like a -3 after the name of the job.) Her husband provided a +1 for being a Bookworm (wasn't sure if that was a + to Sanity or Happiness, but it helped) Right now she has enough money that I can do 2-3 taps of her actual work, then go do a Vacation, a romantic dinner with her husband (she is on husband #2 as of this point since the first one died ...), play with her kids (which does provide some happiness and sanity, which is what I think actually helped her get through all of the working) and then back to working. I'm trying to get the Real Estate and Restaurant businesses off the ground right now.

I'm taking a break from the game right now and only being sure to check in daily so I can get the money while away - I am waiting for a free Youth Elixir since my person is now age 55 and it would be helpful if she dropped down to age 45 so her health doesn't drop so fast.

Don't think I have the head for it, so I guess I'll just have to do without. I managed to get to 100 years, got back to 8 and almost worked my way up to 100 again before giving up.

I bought the sandbox mode and so far working out good. I was going to buy everything like the bundle but I was low on credit so that's what I settled for. My restaurant is on level 2 I think. Its a pizza house but my revenue isn't a lot. I will keep playing and see what happens. I bought the luxary car so earning from oober.

Has anyone tried the lottery? I bought 10 tickets and won a small price of $100. Lol. I don't think they showed the jackpot prize though. I will play a few times and see if I'm lucky.

Hello there, when I try to customize my game, double tapping on the gender it won't change, it says random then female, but no male genders?

Find gender with your finger, turn off voice-over and then tap on the left side of the screen.

Doing good so far. I bought a million dollar apartment for my self and I bought a few apartments to rent out. My grand estate is bringing in more money. I want the space hotel. Lol. My question is is that income per month or weekly? And another question is when I'm trying to get the home shef its locked. I want to change my diet from burgers. My income as a driver is giving me 750 and sometimes I get extra high tips.

Incomes are weekly. To unlock better diets, you will need to go to the education tab and learn the home chef skill.

That's cool. I did some shoplifting and spent a month in jail. Lol. I smoked cigarettes to pass the time. This game is fun.

I learned all the street smarts so crime is easy for me now. I can't do home theft or the bigger crimes yet but drug dealing is giving me some fast money. Shoplifting is good to but its luck or chance if you get really good items. I got an $800 tablet and some candy bars. A question about stocks. I'm not sure how it works. I saw that it went up to 77 percent and I sold it but didn't get plenty money for it.

Not sure either.

In real life I don't know the stock market so generally I won't know what to do but thanks for the tips. Right now I won't say I'm bored but I'm doing plenty crimes. Got caught a few times but I will play and see how it goes.

So have been doing this for a few hours now an to be able to commit bank robbery you need to do a lot of shop lifting and drug dealing which would give you much more success with other crimes. You would still get caught but not all the time. Home theft gives lots of money depending on the value of the items. The most I got from that was $4000. With bank robbery the most I got was 100000 k. So if you need some fast money you know what to do. Lol. On the normal side of things I bought the apartment complex so my income is much more higher now. I bought the youth alixear for 20 million but now its doubled to 40 million. Nott sure if I will buy it again or just wait for the reward.

Trying for the "get all business to level 12" life goal and currently have most of them to level 5. The farm, for whatever reason, is slower to start up and slower to grow.

Cash is pouring in, though, so it was easy to get enough money to get the youth elixir a couple times. I also bought several luxury condos to rent out.

Though now my person is 37 years old and her 2nd husband is like 75. Haha. She's younger than a couple of her kids.

I've gotten into a rhythm, though, for building up the money now that all the income is pouring in per week. Couple taps on Overtime work, International vacation, Play/Romantic dinner with husband and then a family vacation (only if the children's relationship is around 900/1000). Then to the bank and deposit all and start again. As the money builds up in the bank, I get more interest per week and then it snowballs into even more income until I have enough money to upgrade one of my businesses to the next level. Then I buy more contracts/employees/restaurants, etc., which ups the income on that to the max ... and then back to building up more money.

I'm reminded of a clicker game in some ways (the ones where you have to get certain goals to restart and get a perk to start the next game.)

I've alraedy gotten the "Big Family (8+ kids to adulthood)" life goal and some goal involved in wealth (I think to do with personal net worth.) I am not sure what those life goals will do for me when I start a new life, though.

Wow I will try it that way. I wanted to have a few business at once but now I have to start all over again because I died in my 50's doing so much jail time. Lol

In front of her eyes, i turned into an 8 year old kid. What a nightmare for her. Also, my kids were out of the house.

Since I sarted to slow it down on the crimes my life is ok. I have two kids 1 year apart and I'm married. My husband is 2 years older than me. He's a party animal. We get along good so far. I have a real estate business and still renting out apartments. I work as a legal assistant. I think that pays $1000 plus if I'm not mistaken.

Crime is fun. Lol. Once you do plenty shop lifting you will see the status go up like 85 percent chance success. 0 of 120. something like that. Then you will be able to do drug dealing and other things.

How do I see life goals or badges and how do I know wich are finished?
