If you mean collecting the careers once you reach 20 years in that job you will hear a chime. If you want to work the job till you retire then you're right. I thing I have the fertile achievement but can't remember. I will still do it over again. I cheated on my parterner and gave her an std but not HIV. She left me. For the currency yes they let you change over your money. I was living in the US and when I migrated to England my money was converted to pounds. I thing they should add road trips that way you use your car even more.

By X2 on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:10

Oh OK, I was just wondering because one of the military achievements says, serve your full career in the military. That’s why I wasn’t sure if it was until 65 or until you retired. And i’m going to get the fertile achievement, but I want to be a female when I do. I’m going to sleep with 10 different guys to get it lol. Well, at least that’s my plan for right now but my plans always change when the time comes. And I started laughing when I gave a disease to somebody else for the first time. After I got the marriage achievement with my other character, I slept with a bunch of people until I got an std and I invited one of my ex-wives for a nightstand and gave it to her lol. And I also gave it to my other ex wives, well, the ones who agreed to see me again. And really? It converted your currency? Because when I immigrated to Switzerland, I stayed with my US dollars, they didn’t convert to Swiss franc. Were you approved? Or did you immigrate illegally? And yeah, they should add road trips. It could be under the vacation tab. So instead of two options, we would have three and we could choose where we want to take a road trip to. It would obviously be within the country that we live in since cars can’t fly.

By Ornella on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:10

I don't think bitlife fixed all the currencies as yet maybe that's why its showing as dollars. Tweat and tell them about the car which I will do the same. I saw a tweat from them saying they are working on the school update and they will add teacher interactions and other things maybe sports and a school nurse. I forgot to answer one of your questions. That's how I play my speed games. I just age up and what ever life throws at me I just deal with it acordingly. For the immigration I was approved and the next time I wasn't approved I did it illegally and was deported that's how I got what ever that ribbon or achievement is called.

By The Tetris monster on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:10

Hi guys. I really love this app and what the developer is doing with it. However, it would be nice if the app could be made fully accessible. Yes it is quite accessible, but it takes some getting used to. I hope I don’t appear on grateful, but it is just a suggestion. Thanks in advance.

By Hilary Reed on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:10

Hey everyone,
I was wondering if any of you could explain the pet shop to me? When I tried to select a particular animal, nothing would happen, except for a pop up about becoming a bitizen. Is the pet shop and also the breeders and ranch a premium feature?
Thanks so much.

By The Tetris monster on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:10

Unfortunately, it is. You have to have the premium version of the app to be able to purchase pets.

Hi. Yes, you can customize your character’s Gender, name, and country and town, though your stats will still be randomized. Here are the steps. 1, upon opening Bitlife, go to the main menu. 2, double tap new life. 3, you will now be presented with a random life. 4, double tap on the name of the character, but not the start life button. 5 swipe until you locate the first name text field, and double tap to edit it. Erase the given name and type your own. Do the same for the last name. 6 hit select to save your changes. 7, locate the male or female button. You may have to double tap it twice to get it to respond. 8, double tap the country if desired and scroll through until you find the one you want. Then double tap to select it. 9, repeat the same steps for the city selection. This should complete all of the customization questions you have. If not, let me know.

By The Tetris monster on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:10

Hi. I really hope that the accessibility can be improved. The interface could use a bit of cleaning up as far as voice over is concerned. That’s just my opinion.

By Ornella on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:10

As far as playing the game the whole ap is accessible except for the mini games. Or some anyways. To use the pets you have to get a bitizenship which is paid.

By The Tetris monster on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:10

I understand the app is accessible, but it isn’t exactly easiest to use. When I mean accessible, I mean 100% fully accessible. Understand the app is usable, but it would be nice if it didn’t have any accessibility issues as far as the interface was concerned. The interface is a little cluttered right now.

By X2 on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:10

Hi, maybe it’s because of all the descriptions? You can turn this off though. Go to the menu, from there go to settings, and turn on “power user“. Just keep in mind that all descriptions in the game will be disabled. For example, when you buy a house, you have to click on the house to see how much it cost. Versus having power user off, it tells you the price of the house without you clicking on it. And yes, the pets and generation features are all part of being a Bitizen, which you have to buy. But it’s a one time purchase. You can still have pets, but only from the shelter and you are only limited to three pets, if I remember correctly. You don’t have access to the breeders, exotic pets, horse ranch, and pet shop, i think. I know the first three I mentioned aren’t open with the premium, but not too sure about the pet Store. And I think The accessibility on the app is pretty good, the only thing I do wish was that the mini games were accessible. So I’d say this game is about 97 or 98% accessible. But that’s just me.
Hth let me know if you need any help.

By X2 on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:10

And I’m going to try that. The shortest time I’ve lived a life lasted me about a week or so lol. I’m slow. And out tweet them about the cars. You’re talking about the road trips right? I just wanna make sure I tweet the right thing lol. Oh, that’s right, I forgot there’s a deporting achievement. I need to work on that one too. I will do that when I have my 10 kids lol. I find it not fair that our parents can make us move, but we can’t move our family. So we basically have to leave them behind, we have no choice. But who cares right? We don’t need them lol jk. And I hope they do, we need some teacher interactions.

By Ornella on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:10

The deporting is easy as it gets. As long as you get the option to do it illegally do that and after a few years you will be captured and then I think you might have to spend 3 years or a year in prison. Can't remember. When Your sentence is up they will deport you back to your country of birth. And yes tweat them about the car and any other suggestion you have. And with our parents having to move they said they going to fix something along that line. Example if you live in another country from your parents you will be able to fly in to attend the funeral. Also I'm not sure if this happens in real life but if someone in your family dies and you're in prison I'm not sure if you will be allowed to just attend the funeral. But I wish if they would add that too. And I think they said we will have more ways to spend our money.

By X2 on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:10

I am surprised I didn’t get deported from Switzerland. I emigrated illegally and I was on the run. But I will try again. And OK, i’ll tweet them about the cars. And no, in real life, if you’re in prison and a family member dies, they won’t let you out. And that would be nice, if they gave you the option to fly out to go to your parents funeral. I know that if you immigrate and they die while you’re living in another country, your happiness goes down even more, since you couldn’t see or attend the funeral. Well, at least for me it does. And really? That would be really fun if we had more ways to spend money, since we can’t really spend money on things like shopping. Unless you buy gifts for your family members. They should also open the barbershop when you turn three or four. Your mom or dad would pay for your haircut though, just like when you go to the doctors, your parents pay for you. I know 3 year olds who get their haircut at the barbershop. I also think they should add grooming options for our pets. Like they can get their nails cut, haircut, and Bathe them. Even though we have the option to bathe them already, but maybe we would want a professional to do it lol. That and get them vaccinated, just like we do with our kids, I mean like the option to vaccinate.

By Ornella on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:10

You won't get caught right away. I think I spend like about 5 years then I got caught and deported back to England. Or maybe you're lucky. In eal life though there are plenty illegal immigrants living there and no one doing nothing about it. So maybe its luck and chance. I was even working. Lol.

By X2 on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:10

I was too. I was working as a lawyer. Well, then again, now that I think about it, I was only there for four years. Since my character escaped at age 64 and I died at age 68. I sold all my assets and bought new ones in Switzerland. But when I died, my eldest son got everything, even though he was living in the US. Do you know how that’s possible? After I died, I continued on as my second son because I wanted to ruin his life since we didn’t get along when he was growing up lol. That’s why my other son got everything. So now I’m playing as my sons son, which is my grandson, hopefully that makes sense, I know it sounds kind of confusing lol. And is it possible to die out of nowhere? For example, you just push the age button and you hear the death song or whatever it is, and it just gives you a random story on how you died. I know this is a random question but I’m just curious lol.

By HarmonicaPlayer on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:10

what are the heirlooms for you can look for 1 a day?

By Ornella on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:10

Its something that's been handed down by a family member. You could either donate it to charity if the option is available or refurbish, scrap it or sell it. Its randumlly generated so don't be surprised if you get the same things over and over. Twice I've gotten China wear. X2, probably you set a will and that's how your son got everything or I'm really not sure how that happened. And yes sometimes when you age up you get a random thing telling you how you died. And now on to me. Lol. I have some very ungrateful children. Imagine I paid for my daughter's education and her appreciation was 0%. My other daughter was 54%. Anything above 50% is good enough for me but damn they are ungreatful. I would've had 10 kids but my son dieing isn't counting on the list. So will have to try that once again. But try for the 10 abortions in one life. I forgot the name of that achievement. I got that one already. I also had food poisoning by eating fried crocodiles. Thought I was going to die but it was treatable.

By Paige on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:10

How do you sign into discord? It's making me do one of those stupid capture things where you need vision, and when I press get audio challenge nothing happens

By Joel on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:10

Try logging in through the website. If that doesn’t work, then I don’t know what will.

By Joel on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:10

Do you have any one sighted around that can help you? That might be the only way.

By X2 on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:10

And that’s what I did. I left everything to my first son. But my question was, how do you inherit assets, when you live in a different country, sorry if I didn’t make that clear. But it’s OK, you don’t have to answer, I was just wondering if you knew. And her appreciation was at 0%? Oh hell no! I would’ve insulted her and put her up for adoption lol. Or kill her. My kids asked me to pay for the college tuition and for the first time, their appreciation was at 100%. I’ve never gotten that before in the history of playing this game lol. And oh yeah! I forgot about that achievement, thanks for pointing that out. I’m gonna try that one. And wow, they just had to add these careers after I did some of the hard ones lol. I basically have to redo all the jobs I already did in previous lives. But oh well.

By X2 on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:10

Heirlooms are just a way to make the game a little more fun and to add some value to families. Yes, some might be boring than others, but they’re pretty fun. And this was already mentioned but you can sell, refurbish, donate and/or scrap them. You can sell them to try to make a quick buck on the side.

By X2 on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:10

What’s discord? Is it like a social platform or something? And is it free or do you have to pay?

By Ornella on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:10

Its ok I don't mind answering. But I don't know about the inheritance when you live in another country. Actually I never use the generation feature because 99% of the times I always outlive all my kids. What I should've done was disapprove of her major maybe she would be even more appreciative or hate me lol.

By X2 on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:10

Thanks, good to know, now I’m gonna shoot you with a bunch of questions lol jk. And me too. Every time I do the generations future, my kids either die before I do. Or they die a year or two after I continue as them and they don’t have any kids for me to continue. And I don’t know why our kids ask us to pay for their education, if their appreciation is going to be low. I would just kill her if I were you lol. Or you can try to die before she dies and continue as her, so you can ruin her life. That’s what I did lol. So I have three kids and two of them are appreciative of everything I do for them and want to go on vacations whenever I go. However, the other one, my oldest, doesn’t want to go on any vacations and whenever I do something for him, his appreciation is pretty low. He might not like what I do to him lol. I saw that they posted on their Twitter, what they should add for teacher interaction, some of the options were assault, insult, and flirting. Which I think they should add all of them. I would love to assault my teacher lol.

By X2 on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:10

I found discord. Is it for gamers? Like you can connect to them? I just wanna make sure it’s this one. Sorry if that’s a stupid question lol.

By Ornella on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:10

So I watched a review of the new update and certain things from this recent update I didn't even notice. Note that its not an accessibility review. So when you reach the age of 18 or when ever you finish colledge you could go in the jobs tab and if you don't want to choose your own job you could have the job recruiter do it for you. You could either go to the interview or turn it down. I didn't use it but I did check to see how much it cost and it was $600. I don't know if that's the price in every country or if its different. You could use it while you're working in a job to see if they could match you to a job that you might want. Also you could adjust your working hours but I'm not sure if its for extra pay. When you reach the age of 65 and you retire you get a pension but I'm not sure if you will know before how much money you will get. But from Biju Mike's review He got $9000 per year and think about it its not worth it. No one could live on that amount of money a year. I can't remember the job he was doing. And not sure but I think different companies would offer different amounts.

By Sabrina on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:10

Currently I am 87 years old and I have a VERY ungrateful wife because she has never showed any appreciation at all and I gave her several things and honestly she has never apreciated anything and her enjoyment with everything is low. She is so depressive that I would divorce her if it wasn't because I am playing as my son that was very stupid and did not sign a prenupcial agreement and I have twenty million and she is four years older than me and I hope for her to die. I could get rid of her but at this age and also low health I may die. I don't let her inherit anything at all but am giving it to my daughter who is around twenty. Got to check that work thing.

By Ornella on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:05

I had a husband like that too. After having like 10 kids with him he never wanted to make love to me unless if I ether spent time with him or gave him money. I only did it once but he died some time after so I got it back. Only 1 of my children was appreciatve of me paying for their colledge so I only gave that one child money and then I bought an expensive car and went in debt. Surprisingly all of my kids attended my funeral.

By Sabrina on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:05

My stupid wife died. I am so happy. She was a nightmare,,. I gave her a popcorn machine and a fender guitar and appreciation was so low so the next time I gave her a dead daisy! She didn't even deserve that.

By Moopie Curran on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:05

Hi, I'm just wondering what's the most amount of kids anyone has actually "given birth to" in bitlife? I know somebody fathered 100 kids, but I'm wondering what's the most anyone has actually been able to birth? I successfully had 17 kids, and only one set were triplets.

By Ornella on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:05

When I was trying to do the 100 baby challentge and failed for sure I had 23 kids. None were twins or triplets. Never in the history of this game have I ever had triplets. Only 1 set of twin girls. When I do the writer job again I will try to have plenty kids but I will have my character be a male.

By X2 on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:05

The price varies by country for the job recruiter. When I was living in the US, it was 900. I’m currently living in Mexico and it cost 300. I’ve used it several times to find jobs and I guess it works, pretty good. I used it after I retired from the military. After I retired the military, I got 168,000 a year. And after, I found a job as a biologist. After I retired from there, I was getting 60 to 65,000 a year. The thing I don’t know is if I was getting them put together as one or if they were taking some out to make room for the other one. Sorry if that doesn’t make sense lol. Let me know if it doesn’t, and I’ll try to explain as best I can. And in order to get a pension, I think you have to be working there for at least 20 years. I remember I was working as a janitor after the biologist career and they fired me after four years because I was slacking off lol. And they told me that I wasn’t going to get a pension, it’s said, years needed, 20. Which I guess in a way works out because with the new career achievements, you’ll collect the career and earn a pension.
So I got the fertile achievement, where you have 10 kids. But the thing that I found weird was that, when I had 10 I didn’t get it. I got it after my 11th child. And they got rid of the abortion achievement, when you have 10 abortions in one life. Does anyone else have the achievement show up on their list? Or have that achievement? I’m curious.

By Ornella on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:05

I can't remember the name of that achievement but it don't look like its showing up on the list so not sure. I never retired from any job since the new update. Now I'm a male living in Canada. My dad died when I was 3. I should've choose a different country. Canada is very borring to me. Lol.

By X2 on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:05

It was called abortion X 10. I watched YouTube videos on BitLife and they kept mentioning 63 achievements and that’s when I noticed it. But those videos were posted a few months back, so I don’t know. And the retirement is great lol. You don’t have to worry about losing money after you leave a job. Now you get money for doing absolutely nothing lol. But that gets boring after a while, so I just find a job or a part-time. And just leave Canada, if it’s boring. I’m still living in Mexico but I’m trying to get the deportation achievement, so I’m stalking all my baby daddies to see who will give me a restraining order so I can violate it lol. So far I’ve been attacked by three of their wives and I took them to court and won lawsuits against them lol. Oh and for anyone who doesn’t know, if you serve in the military and your asked to go on a mission to Afghanistan or something. Be aware that it isn’t accessible. I think it’s a mini game, it’s when you get deployed. Sorry if thats Old news lol. I was asked to be deployed and I took it not knowing it wasn’t accessible, I should’ve known though, and stepped on a mind and suffered being burned. I didn’t die but my looks went all the way down and clubs wouldn’t let me in because of how I looked lol. And I also suffered from PTSD. So heads up for anyone that plans on serving in the military.

By Ornella on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:05

I might leave Canada when I finish school. I might go live in an expensive country not sure yet. I got a fine china set worth 110000 and no one want it. If I keep it longer the value will go up. I will try to sell it each year. When I turn down a car from my parents they never buy another one for me not sure why that is.

By Sabrina on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:05

I will do all the wrongs and then try to end up right. I have parrents who has refused to give me the seven pets I wanted, then they refused to buy my car, they did not pay university and my mother called me something very nasty and I insulted her back so she attacked me with a switch blade and I called the cops on her. They were awful parrents and whatever I do is their fault. Lol. What is abortion x10? Is there really an achievement for getting 100 babies? I have only had sixteen or seventeen this far and you can see that in the cemetary and I think it was seventeen. Half of them hated me, come to think of it. I believe, when I see the cemetary, that he was rich and basically I guess that since few came to my funeral I suspect I was very selective when it came to the inheritance. ungrateful children. Now to insult my father. I am going to insult him three times per year and when he dies I won't atend his funeral. Muhahahaha.

By Ornella on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:05

There's no achievement for 100 babies. That's just something I've seen a lot of youtubers do and I'm going to attempt it again some time. I think I will stay in Canada and live this life out. It may not be long. I kind of hate the job recruiter thing. I used it and it chose a banker for me even when I had 100 smarts when I was born and I went to university studied nursing and even went to nursing school.

By Sabrina on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:05

I now have a highly well paid job as a midwife or whatever and I have over one hundred thousand per year. That is great.

By X2 on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:05

Sabrina, abortion X 10 is when you have 10 abortions in one life. It was an achievement, but I think they took it off since a lot of people are against abortions. Even though it’s just a game but people turn small things into big problems. I remember seeing that achievement when I first got the game but I had forgotten about it until I watch some YouTube videos. And ornella is right. Having 100 kids in one life isn’t an achievement, but it’s what a lot of people challenge themselves to do. They should make it an achievement though since having 100 lovers is an achievement. Lol omg you always get either horrible parents or horrible kids. I want horrible parents but never got none lol. I always do bad things to my parents and they never insult or assault me, even though I insult them.
Ornella, I got a T-Rex fossil worth 5K. I sold it and got 4500 for it. And if you want to live in an expensive country, try Switzerland. Well, at least in my experience it was expensive. And I finally got the deportation achievement. My husband left me after I got deported lol. And the job recruiter works for me. I went to university for biology and after that I went to medical school but ended up serving in the military instead. Anyway, after I retired from the military, the recruiter gave me the biologist career since I had a degree in biology. Speaking of school, I got the naughty child achievement. You don’t have to be between the ages of five and 17 to get it, everyone says you have to but my previous life prove that wrong. I got expelled from medical school for having bad grades and I was 26 lol. So I think you can get it as long as you’re in school. And how do you get the ultimate but trail achievement? Does your spouse have to get a gender reassignment surgery? Or do I have to get the gender reassignment surgery? The description for that achievement is, your spouse leaves you following a gender reassignment surgery. So like do they leave me after they get it? How does that work, since I know you have that achievement.

By Ornella on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:05

You have to get it and the wife or husband leaves you for it. I never got the naughty child achievement as yet. I guess I have to work part time jobs while going to university. People always make things in to problems when its not supposed to. Its a game for heavens sake. In real life I could never do the things I do in this type of game. I got that achievement before they took it out. I will just live out this life in Canada it won't be long.

By X2 on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:05

O ok thanks. I wasn’t sure who had to get the surgery. I’m gonna try that one next. And oh yeah, I remember I was working a part time when I was kicked out. But I also forgot to mention that, if you get expelled, you can appeal it. Well, the option to appeal it popped up and I did. And they let me back into medical school. And nowadays, everything‘s a problem lol and people are always going to find a way to make it bigger than what they should be. So since you got that achievement before they removed it, does it still show up on your achievements list? And I think no one can do the things that happen in the game lol. I mean sure, most of the stuff is possible, but I’m talking about more of the crazier stuff. Like for example, when you date someone in the game, you either ask them out or they ask you out, and the relationship immediately takes off from there. In real life, you have to get to know the person first before either one agrees to date one another. Lol that’s the first thing that comes to my mind at least and it’s not that crazy, now that I think about it .

By Ornella on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:05

No it doesn't show up anymore which makes me think that's why they added a hidden achievement. I think its a hidden ribbon or achievement. it say 3 question marks. So people are against abortions but not against murdering people in the game? Smh.

By X2 on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:05

Lol i guess not. Even though they’re basically the same thing, just in a different way. And i got the ultimate be trail achievement. I was hoping to go back to being a female but I guess once you get the surgery, you can’t go back. So I guess I’m a 50 something year old transgender with 13 kids and 12 grandkids.

By Sabrina on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:05

To make your parents hate you, insult them as much as you can. Give them dreadful gifts. If you get into an argument, insult them and if they attack you, either call the cops on them or fight back.
I had a fun little accident yesterday because I was going to make a lip assuction and somehow I managed to double-tap on gender reasignment. I didn't notice that so it was a terrible chock to learn that I became a guy.
My current character is sentenced to the electric chair. . I once tried to kill someone but I couldn't. I did that by asault. It did not work though so I gaave up the fifth time because my health went down to 13 percent.

By X2 on Sunday, September 22, 2019 - 07:05

That’s what I do. I always insult them and they don’t respond, like they don’t fight back or insult me back. And it’s not just with one character, it’s with all the characters I get. I even checked their stats and I assume generosity is how nice they are, so if their generosity stat is low, I insult them like five times a year lol. There’s only been a few times where my parents have attacked me but for the most part, they just let it slide off of them. I even give them horrible gifts and nothing happens. I’ll just have to keep trying. And really? You became a guy by accident? Lol thats funny. And that would’ve been a shock to anyone, becoming a guy by accident. And I’ve killed bullies by assaulting them but nothing happens. I even killed the prison warden when I assaulted her lol. It was really anti-climatic, nothing happened.
