I've had that too. One of my employees called me her bff, so I gave her a bonus. Immediately after that, she called me her bff again lol. She probably thought I would give her a bonus again. Can't wait for the direct touch issue to be fixed, so I can play in earnest.

By Ornella on Friday, September 23, 2022 - 18:45

I really want to start a new life but its like i can't die. Lol. My character is in his 90's and made a million profit on the food truck and i sold and bought a gift shop. I got a randum thing to try the horse races and i saw that bitizen was in the race and i bet my whole life on it which was 3000000 and i won 19000000. So if you want to win money you can sit on the horse races and any horse with a bitizen or bitlife tag on it you know for sure you can bet your whole life on it. I also found some new heirlooms which i never saw before. Another thing is that ios 16.2 is out so i hope it fixes the issue for you so you can play. will play a little before i go to sleep.

By DMNagel on Friday, September 23, 2022 - 18:45

The strange biases and seemingly endless self loving makes me laugh LOL. Everything that contains the name BitLife is rewarding in the game. I'm grabbing the iOS update now. Apparently there is some good news, so I will let you know how it goes.

I have made so many in game purchases, that now God mode as it’s called is showing at a reduced price for me. Only 799 instead of the 1199. I am wondering if I make that purchase, I’m wondering if future items will be unlocked and I won’t have to pay for them anymore, for example, vampire mode, which sounds really cool to play once it is released. I would love for example, to be a football player, and then, if I have an untimely death rise from the grave, and we claim past victims who have crossed me. L O L.

By DMNagel on Friday, September 23, 2022 - 18:45

A long time ago, I purchased everything that is to be purchased. Now I'm just getting everything without having to pay for it. You should consider getting God mode, as it will allow you to select your attributes at the start, as well as your royal status, special talent and also edit certain people you meet on the way. Imagine having to use the dating app as an immortal vampire. People will think you are lying about your age LOL.

By Ornella on Friday, September 23, 2022 - 18:45

Eventually i will get god mode but I do agree that anything in the game that has a bitlife tag on it is rewarding. I gave a gift of a bitlife hooddi to someone and their appriciation was like 99 percent or so. My old life that i was playing finished at age 92 but that was sad because i opened another branch of my giftshop and i never got to see it run. And one of my shot glasses went vyrul and I never got to see how it went in sales. Don't know how it said that i got a ribbon for living a bandet life. The only thing i really did was rob a train because i was low on money. So another business tip. If they say the demand is going to increase for a product, you can jack up the prices but not to high. If they say that your competition is slashing prices, send down yours a little and you will get more people. I did write to them on twitter and not sure if they saw it but i think if they put an advertisement tab in your business section it can help. you can pay to have your business advertised on the newspapers tv or radio. Of course you would have to pay different prices. I think the print media might be cheaper.

By The_pineapple on Friday, September 23, 2022 - 18:45

I Purchased god mode almost right after it came out. Also, I am really really happy that they changed it so that now I can select hair and skin color and things like that. honestly, I think the job pack that I am most Looking forward to seeing next is the dealer one. Lol.

By Ornella on Friday, September 23, 2022 - 18:45

I ordered a Bride and payed $5000 and after one year she wanted a divorce. It didn't show me how much money she had before I asked. Is there a way to see that or you just have to take a chance? I was from the US and she was from Colombia. It said that she thinks she's a lesbian. She came in with 60k and left with some of my money. I got mad because I was working part time jobs since in school to try and save money to open a business. I guess everyone's low start up business is a food truck or a giftshop. They should change it to different things so you won't feel bored. Pineapple, I do agree I'm looking forward to that weed empire or what ever its called to. I wanted them to add a drugs update but I think they are worried of getting in to trouble for what ever reason. You know how people like to complain for everything.

By DMNagel on Friday, September 23, 2022 - 18:45

Unfortunately you can't see how much money your online bride has. Luckily with God mode, you can live as a royal until you are 18 years old, then use your accumulated cash to buy yourself a much better business after advocating your royalty. otherwise, you will have to find another way to make money and play through generations.

By Ornella on Sunday, October 23, 2022 - 18:45

I didn't get to play much this weekend but I'm wondering if everytime you start a new game if its the same businesses you get over and over or they shuffle around because that would be boring. I always get the food truck at the start up on the list. And ok that sucks that you can't see the money your Bride has before marrying. If i run out of money and can't do much i always rob a train. Lol.

By The_pineapple on Sunday, October 23, 2022 - 18:45

One thing I like to do to make a lot of money is I like to use God mode to set my characters special talent to crime, and then just start stealing stuff as soon as possible. Lol.

By DMNagel on Sunday, October 23, 2022 - 18:45

I was looking forward to it, but now I find it to be frustrating. While losing is part of gaming, it can get old after awhile.

By The_pineapple on Sunday, October 23, 2022 - 18:45

I know what you mean. I got sick of it really quickly, because I just don't seem to be very good at it. So once I just sold my business for a loss just so I could get rid of it.

By Ornella on Sunday, October 23, 2022 - 18:45

Not bored of it as yet. I want to see how far I can go. Some things I may not understand because i don't really have a business head but as I play around I figure out things and learn from that. Also sometimes the bitlife team would post something on twitter to help if people don't understand certain things.

By Ornella on Wednesday, November 23, 2022 - 18:45

So didn't know that there was an update a few days ago and i updated and in the activities tab i found something saying pray to the bitlife devs. I clicked on it and there was a slider and i chose happiness because mines was low. There are other things you can pray for like health and wealth i believe. That's all good but when i did it my game froze and i came out of it and went back in and then there was some kind of link on the screen. I didn't find an exit button so i closed it out from the app switcher and when i reopened it, the game was back to normal and it showed me on the log that i prayed to the bitlife devs. Nothing happened to boost my happiness though. I went back in to the activities tab and i didn't see that option again. Don't know if that was a bug or if that's a one time thing. Anyway, I ran through a lot of businesses some were successful and some weren't. I made my first 100000000 profit from a jewelry store i bought. I was gambling my business. meaning that i had a lucky dice and when the jackpot was in the hundred millions i spinned till i got tired. Only won it once after that i got fedup. So I gambled horses and all the money i won i put it in the business and made it back. Opened 14 stores and i got an exit offer so i sold it and now selling pharmecy stuff. All this in the same life. My farm went bankrupt not even in 2 years. Who would've thought that people don't want to buy milk. Lol. And back to the horse races, looks like the game isn't biased. I bet everything on candywriter and i lost everything. But it wasn't bad. Just 10 mil. I robbed trains a few times as well.

By Firefly on Wednesday, November 23, 2022 - 18:45

I can never seem to be able to rob a train. I pick different times, and different trains, and all that ever seems to say is he waited for the train but it never showed up or something like that. Do you have to be really high up in a crime level to do that? Or is it a specific time of day and a specific train you have to pick?

By Ornella on Wednesday, November 23, 2022 - 18:45

if you want to rob a train, you need to do it in real time. so what i do is when its getting close to 6 pm or what ever time i want, i open the game and when my clock goes off or some kind of alarm i tap on rob it. you need to have all these things open before so when its time you can. I robbed the train at midnight already but can't remember doing it at 6 in the morning. Remember, after successfully robbing it you need to wait 48 hours before you can do it again.

By Ornella on Wednesday, November 23, 2022 - 18:45

Didn't know that they had this but i'm now a famous CEO. Sadly with the fame the only thing you can do is write the ocasional books how ever much that comes up and tv commercials because by then you will be in your late 60's and no one wants to do any photos. The fame doesn't have a percentage bar it just shows your performance in your business. I got sued by an employee and i won. My employee was leaking company secrets online and i fired her. She asked for a settlement and i refused to pay it off and. I didn't get any money back but i didn't have to pay her either so that was good. So when i opened the game again in the activities tab i didn't see the option to pray to the bitlife devs. So again i had no idea what happened.

By The_pineapple on Wednesday, November 23, 2022 - 18:45

I didn't know that you had to do it in real time. Now I'm going to do that.

By Wayne Scott Jr on Friday, December 23, 2022 - 18:45

I downloaded this game and all I see is "Direct Touch area." I turned on screen recognition and it wouldn't double tap a button. Can anyone tell me how to play this? I'm using Voiceover with IOS 16.1.2 and am using a braille display.

By DMNagel on Friday, December 23, 2022 - 18:45

This game uses the unity plugin, therefore I doubt it works with a braille display.

By treky fan on Friday, December 23, 2022 - 18:45

I can confirm that bitlife does not work with a braille display. When I hooked my braillenote touch plus to my phone via bluetooth and opened bitlife, nothing showed up on my display. Swiping on my screen produced nothing on the display either.

By DMNagel on Friday, December 23, 2022 - 18:45

I just discovered it today, so I’m not sure how long it’s been around. Also, it’s a bit costly, but at least it’s a one-time purchase for unlimited usage. No prison will hold me now lol.

By The_pineapple on Friday, December 23, 2022 - 18:45

Just think of all those wormholes behind the toilets, waiting to be discovered. Lol

By Lindsay Cowell on Thursday, February 23, 2023 - 18:45

I really struggle with this game. No matter what I try, nothing seems to happen much to the characters I play. I usually don't do random lives, as I am not very good playing people from foreign countries.

By Ornella on Thursday, March 23, 2023 - 18:45

So I made an all new life and just aged up till I was 18. Obviously have 0 dollars but in the real estate shop, my god, those houses cost like hundreds of millions. I saw 1 for 396 mil. Even if I rob a train, I can't even get that. Unless if you can buy and rent out the normal cheap houses. Anyway, I was so bored and I tapped on the pray button. Instead of praying for something, I cursed the devs instead. Lol. They sent the witch doctor on me and everything went to 0 but I didn't die. So I'm now suffering from ptsd. I got another option to pray but my wish didn't come through. Sometimes the add is accessible and sometimes its not. I was unlucky earlier because I had to close out the whole game to get out of the add. Other than that, has anyone ever gotten a nice step father? Because since the game ever existed, all the step fathers are very evil including the step mothers. Like why can't we get nice ones. My dad is unknown and my parents are like rabbits. Every year I age up I'm getting a half brother or sister. Lame. Will see how this life goes. Might end up going to university and see if i land a really good job and later on will rent out some houses.

By DMNagel on Thursday, March 23, 2023 - 18:45

I haven’t seen such expensive houses before. I suppose it depends on what country you’re in. Luckily all properties can be used. Playing as a royal also helps to get ahead.

By Ornella on Thursday, March 23, 2023 - 18:45

Yes I found that out. All properties can be used. But remember they added new houses to the game so don't be surprised if you see a beach house. Right now I'm renting out a studio apartment, if that's what its called. It is a 1 bed and bath. But I could only add 2 things to it. So the bigger the house, you can expand more. I only got to add a selfee studio and a dark photography room or something like that. Or I could've added a cocktail bar but I didn't have the space for it. I had to fight a tenant in court and I got 100000 from him because he damaged my property and didn't want to pay me late rent plus he attacked me so. I going to buy a few properties and rent them out. I always do a background check on them. Most of my tenants only stay 2 years because when they do something I get rid of them and look for someone new. And I don't give them notice when I'm coming to sneak up on them to see what they are doing.

By The_pineapple on Thursday, March 23, 2023 - 18:45

So I helped my first tenant hide a body in the apartment, and then I walked in for an inspection and found him having an orgy or something. And I even gave him 30 days notice of the inspection.

By DMNagel on Thursday, March 23, 2023 - 18:45

My tenant became a squatter in my house, and I allowed her to do it. However, at some point, she wanted to claim the house as her own which was actually stupid. Anyway, I had to evict her with some legal aid.

By Ornella on Thursday, March 23, 2023 - 18:45

I saw a villa in the list of houses. That's the one that cost 396 million. When I have a billionaire life I might be able to buy that one. So each of the house type has different features you can put. I am still renting out my studio but I bought a trailler and I added a firepit and a hottub. My tenant caused water dammage of 500$ and refused to pay it. I got rid of him in no time. I didn't see an option to take him to court but maybe I should've gone to the lawsuit tab. Another thing is when choosing a tenant make sure they have a good credit score maybe past 50 is good because some who I had refused to pay late rent with a lower score and I saw that their networth was like 1 million. So who knows what they are doing. Lol. And one of them couldn't pay me rent on time and I asked him to help clean my house as a favor. I let that one go. I'm trying to be a mean landlord.

By Ornella on Thursday, March 23, 2023 - 18:45

My home got destroyed by a tornado and my tenant was forced to move. In the cinario it said that I should've gotten insurance. Not sure if that was a comment but does anyone know if they added that to the game, because i'm not seeing it.

By The_pineapple on Thursday, March 23, 2023 - 18:45

I haven't seen it, but, I also haven't had a property get destroyed either. I didn't even know that was a thing.

By Ornella on Thursday, March 23, 2023 - 18:45

will check around. Maybe its a hidden feature. You know. Like they would add things to the game and not tell us. The hard thing would be that if you buy a property worth millions of dollars and lose it in a disaster, its going to hurt bad because you can't recover it. And does anyone have any stock tips? In real life I don't understand it. But I think I might buy some and see if I make money or not.

By Tristo on Thursday, March 23, 2023 - 18:45

I've been playing around with the new landlord update. So the tenant moved out, trashed my house, so I sued them and won. I would like it if you could live in and pay rent on properties though. So, once you turn 18 and move out it would be great if you could choose a property to rent, and do things that could get you kicked out. and if you don't rent a property, or own a property that you live in, then you are homeless.

By DMNagel on Thursday, March 23, 2023 - 18:45

In DogLife, if you are homeless, you lose health fast. It would be great if they could implement something similar here.

By Ornella on Thursday, March 23, 2023 - 18:45

I wanted them to add something like when we turn 18, if we have bad parents or we do something so we can get kicked out. It would be nice if we could pay rent or pay and live in a hotel or live in the streets. Because, we buy houses how do we know which one we are living in? A question if anyone has reach further, when someone owes back rent, how much time do you ask before kicking them out? I went back in the same year and was denied. The second year the same thing. The third year I kicked them out. And I still didn't get paid. I held back the deposit but they were owing more and I didn't get to sue them in court.

By Tristo on Thursday, March 23, 2023 - 18:45

We should contact the developer to see if they will add features to rent out places, and be homeless etc

By DMNagel on Thursday, March 23, 2023 - 18:45

I want the vampire update to take priority. Immortality calls to me lol.

By Moopie Curran on Thursday, March 23, 2023 - 18:45

Hi,
This landlord update is really fun.

The person I just played (or as my grandfather jokingly says "Picked on") in bitlife was one of my favorite radio hosts back in the day, I'm not going to mention his name. Anyway, I gave him a boost by making him a royal, even though in real life, he was born in the US, but that is irrelevant in bitlife. I started him as a royal, so he could have oodles of money to be a landlord. After completing a university degree, and performing some public disservices, because I wanted him to be rather evil and degenerate, (not royal material), he left royalty. Then he became a country singer, where he had multiple hits, and at one time, he accumulated 442 million dollars. The most properties he rented out was 8. I had him go steady with, and eventually wind up marrying one of his tennants, which was Daddy Pig from the Peppa Pig cartoons, btw, although that's neither here nor there, but I think it's funny, lol. But it was odd, because he'd been married to Daddy Pig for a while, then I got a dialogue that popped up and said something like, "your Tennant, Daddy Pig is moving out, he says he can't pay the rent." Umm, they're married, why was he still paying him rent, lol. A flash flood did destroy one of his properties, making it uninhabitable, but he was able to renovate it and rent it out again. Another thing I find funny is that five or six of his tenants disappeared, and there was the option to sell their stuff, that's interesting, and a bit fishy, lol. Another thing, he let another one of his tenants squat, the Tennant squatted for 7 years, then claimed squatter's rights. Oh, and after the bitlife character was no longer famous, Daddy Pig kept begging him for a divorce, he kept begging Daddy Pig to stay with him, that happened about ten times, lol. And it's ironic, because in one of the real guy's radio shows, he was asking for callers, he said "I hate it when I beg". Sorry, I just find that ironic, lol.

By Tristo on Thursday, March 23, 2023 - 18:45

I found a bug with the new landlord update, when your character dies, and you have multiple children. I’ve switched to a child, they don’t inherit the house, but are still receiving rent.

By Ornella on Thursday, March 23, 2023 - 18:45

Now I'm renting out 3 houses and all of my tenants keep attacking me. My happiness is down to 0 now because all my lawyers failed me. Only twice I won a lawsuit. I don't know how to find a good lawyer but I always go for the most expensive one and ask for a big payout. Wish if there was an option to fight back.

By DMNagel on Thursday, March 23, 2023 - 18:45

Time for a good drive by I guess. I went to my tenant’s funeral twice for being both my best friend and my tenant lol. Guess that was a bug.

By Ornella on Thursday, March 23, 2023 - 18:45

I agree but even though they take away my health my happiness is down to 0. So any little good that I do to boost, it goes down again. And looks like my character is stupid because no matter what book I read or go to the library or even a documentary, my smarts don't go up that much. its stuck at 47 percent. So might as well time to do some bad things and make this life go away.

By DMNagel on Thursday, March 23, 2023 - 18:45

Maybe you should pray. Select your option from the drop box, but just before pressing the pray button, turn on Airplane Mode. This way, you won’t have to exit the add screen.

By Tristo on Thursday, March 23, 2023 - 18:45

So in one of my Characters lives, he had a hookup with someone, then 1 year later they asked for a paternity test. The child was a match. That happened not once, but twice, so I had two childeron from the same woman with the same name. What is even weirder is that one year later, the kids were cured of Chlamydia. Yep, so they were 2 and had Chlamydia. To top it all off, when my person died 40 years after having the kids, I switched to one of the kids who was 75. My Original character wasn't even that old, so at the most the Children should be around 40. Super weird, but funny as well.

By Ornella on Thursday, March 23, 2023 - 18:45

So I'm working as a lawyer and I work hard and do the usual stuff getting promoted. You would think that if I had to sue someone I could've used the law firm that I work for to try and win my case. I couldn't even start to sue someone because the tenant came in with my home at 100% and left it at 1%. I couldn't even afford to sue him for damages because the repairs cost the same amount that I payed for it. I didn't evict him. He couldn't pay the rent no more so he informed me that he was moving out. On top of that I'm renting out 3 apartments and my salary is 100k plus. Then I hired a financial adviser just to see where this all goes. Now I have like 89k. Prior to all that, one of my other tenants asked me if I would help him move in a stripper pole. Lol. I asked him if he didn't have friends. Lets see what I can salvage of this life. My smarts and everything is at 100 so I don't want to do anything stupid.
