The Life Simulator

Drug dealing is fun. When you are successful there's a pop up saying blue pill x1 =$100 powder =$500 something like that. Same with shoplifting. 1x candy bar =$2 and so on. Home theft is rewarding if you don't get caught. And the bank robbery is even better. I didn't get to try the last option because I died in jail. About life goals you find that in settings. When you achieve something you get the normal pop up with the sound effect. Then go in to badges and what ever that achievement is if it says for example, doer, completed 100 side hustle projects. So that is already done for me. And in life goals the first option is world traveler. Take 500 international or luxary trips. 35/100. That's how much I've done so far. Now my question is about subscriptions. I'm not sure if to leave them on like the jim membership, streaming services personal doctors and so on. Does that affect anything in the game in a good or bad way. I had mines on for a while and I turned all off because I wasn't noticing anything about them really. And about the doctors visit and or hospital stay I'm not sure when that is useful.

I am going to play my next life as a criminal. That seems like lots of fun. I have only done a few shoplifts as of now but I am going to go in for it with my next character. Went to jail three of the four attempts. Rotten luck.

As of now I got promoted for the law firm that I work for. I'm age 40 and my kids are only 6 years younger than me because I got the youth alixear reward then I took another one when I was aged 36. Not sure if I will buy another one because it went up to40 million. My real estate business is level 4 bringing in some good money and I have a few side hustles. I developed 7 apps, made 7 music tracks and wrote 7 books so far. So even if I go on vacation I have money coming in. One thing I think is silly in this game is when a parent die the pop up says your mom left you $1. That don't make any sense and it happened to me twice.

That explains. I was never close with my parents. I worked so much then only when my happiness was low I spent time with them. I have a lot of money so I might turn it on. I hope I live long enough to bring my business up to level 12 or so. real estate is doing really good.

Unfortunately, my first game ended very prematurely. I had been advancing very slowly for a century or two. I became really good at doing bad things (so not worth it, by the way.) and was a level 9 baseball player, which was a pain to reach. Thing is, I was dumb, because I didn't realize you could own multiples of each property, so each of the properties looked pretty worthless in terms of income. Once I figured it out, I went from generating about 30 million dollars/week to like 3 billion dollars / week within like an hour. Problem is, my game decided to end very suddenly. I never received the notification that I unlocked a badge or anything. It just took me to the new game screen. I thought maybe my character had died and I just missed the notification, but nope! I went to the graveyard or w/e after creating a new character and there was no cause of death listed. My poor character was only 36, and she had a 30 year old daughter that she was like best friends with. :(
So now I'm looking at starting a new game, but I really don't want to start out from the beginning. That would be such a pain! Do any of you know if you can still earn badges / goal things in sandbox mode? I know you won't earn game center things but I can't bring myself to care about that.

I think you could still earn them because that's what I'm playing in now and when I do something I could see it going up.

I just started a Sandbox game and completed all of the degrees, and nope, no polymath, even though it said 19/19 in the life goals section. So yes, progress is tracked, but the rewards aren't actually handed out. Thankfully, I already had the perk from that goal anyway. I'm going to have to restart and go through the horrifically painful early game all over again. At least my character started with a philosophy degree, which is a quick way to get into law school. No way in hell I'm creating another 60+ movies.

The issue with crime is that the rewards from it don't scale. Grand Heist rewards cap at around $1000000, which is literally nothing in the grand scheme of things. By the time you reach that point, you should already be generating several million per week through interest / movie sales / whatever, and when you first unlock grand heist, chances of completing it are at 35% with street smarts, or whatever that skill is called. Being in jail sucks, because each break out atempt takes 12 weeks of your time, except 12 weeks don't actually pass ingame, so you age 12 weeks, but you don't earn 12 weeks worth in income or anything. That's why you can't break out of jail with 3 months jailtime or less.
Fun fact though, you can actually participate in sporting related things while in jail. I actually reached level 9 in baseball while I was there. This is... most likely a bug.

When I was close to dieing in my previous game I kind of found out that and I wished I had known that from early because I think when you press the health button while in jail you could work out. I mostly stared at the wall and smoked cigarettes. I tried the escape only once and thought its not really worth it.

At least all crime and prison activities for this game is accessible.

Even though I still play bitlife I like that the crimes are way more accessible in this game. Only problem is when in jail there's no option for a lawyer.

My question is for making apps and movies and so on is it unlimited? Like you could make as much as you want or does it stop at a certain number? Side note I am a workaholic. I keep sending my self down in age because I don't want to get old and die. Lol. I'm now trying to get the space hotel. Damn that's 10 trillion dollars I think. Another question is Philanthropy. Is it rewarding?

If you play sandbox, it's not rewarding. Otherwise you'll get the angelic perk.

Has anyone been able to get anything else other than double work income for the year? When ever I get an add that's all I get. If I click no and the next time the add pops up I get that exact same thing. I'm unlucky.

Well, I'm trying to get lots of youth alixears because I'm 50 years old now and I don't want to age up. Lol so I'm waiting to claim enough to get back down to 8 years again because they cost billions now given that I've bought so many. I dout I will be able to save up for that space hotel. The price is outrageous.

Thet> is a place for life goals and one for badges. What is the difference?

I'm 8 and my ddaughter is 3 years old, best game ever!

They just released an update that fixes the bars and this game is now fully accessible. yay!

Wow I will update later. I'm still trying to get my business up to the highest level and I'm sticking on 50 years till I get another youth alexiar. Its so expensive now.

On the setings screen I see life goals and badges; what is the difference?

Personal secretary. Do anyone know where that is useful? I have mines turned on in the subscriptions and not sure if I'm wasting money on it because I'm not sure what its purpose is for. I mean I know what a personal secretary is but for the game I'm not seeing anything that useful. And another question. What is the experimental treatment good for? I think I used it once but nothing happened. Thanks.

I love this still.
It is very detailed and clean and I cannot get that music out of my head. Currently trying to get a business going. It doesn’t go very well. I still don’t understand the difference between the life goals or badges.

What I don't lik is this. I still can't see what "plus 5 etc is when I get the pop up messages such as I had a good day. Those still don't read.

Plus means the happiness levels going up and minus means down. If you see burger flipper and a minus sign next to it that means you need 2 brains or 2 smarts to get that job.

Hi. I read in here that to select male, you turn off VoiceOver and slide left. I have determined that gender is in the upper middle of the screen, but I can’t get it to work.
Thanks.

I noticed. I love the update now. Man that game rocks.

If you're talking about the mystery reward, I believe that's one of the dayly rewards. You get a different reward every consecutive day you log on.

just click and one week over?

Yep, each click is a week, but a lot can happen during that time.
