Well I want to see how this goes with my character. I have 100 smarts now and a question again. Is there a way to buy cars for our children when they pass their driving test I know the characters we get the parents would buy it sometimes. If that isn't in the game then it should be added. Also I think for high school they could have different side classes so if a person wants to do music lessons or art class or something else that would be a good option and a better chance of getting in to university.

thats a good question. I honestly don’t know. My last character i played, my parents bought me a car when i passed my driver’s test when i was 16. I didn’t get a pop up when one of my kids was old enough to get one, it didn’t even say if they passed there driver’s test in the log. Maybe once they turn 16, if you go to the relationships tab and go to there name and select “gift”, it might pop up? I’ll try it with one of my kids. As far as side classes/electives go, i agree. My parents made me joined drama class when i started high school, in the game though.

I played the lottery yesterday once every year and I got 60 million dollars. Everytime I throw a house party the police always comes because people complain about the noise. Wish if that was random.

By Tresamartin on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

Hi all. Just downloaded this game yesterday and it seems fun, but I am having trouble staying in the game. I keep getting thrown off into either a screen that I cannot navigate at all or back to the App Store. Even music will come on which I cannot change. Have to just leave the game altogether and start over. This has happened enough to wear if I can’t figure out how to avoid it, I probably won’t play. You guys don’t seem to be having that problem. Any ideas?

By Ornella on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

Probably its taking you to the adds screen. You could pay for a bitizenship and have it removed or just remove the adds for 1 99.

Hi, it’s most likely the ads. You said that you hear music, that’s probably the ads. I have this app on two devices, one with the bitizenship and the other without, and the one with out it, obviously has a lot of ads. As for navigating the screens, you can go into the settings and turn on “Power user”. It turns off descriptions but everything in the game is basically explanatory. I think it’s worth buying the bitizenship, in my opinion. The developers of this game have really made it accessible for us to play. But again thats how I see it.

Yea i agree about the house party situation. I once through a house party and only six guests arrived and the cops showed up. And my house was big, how loud can six people get in a big house for the neighbors to hear us lol. How often do you play the lottery? Once every year? O and I checked under the gift section for my son when he turned 16, and the option to buy him a car didn’t show up and I refreshed it a few more times and nothing popped up, I guess it’s random, I don’t know. I also checked the gift section under my daughter, and I got the same results, and no option to buy a car. But they should give us an option to buy our kids a car.

By Ornella on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

You can play the lottery as much as you want each year. I just play it once each year buying 10 tickets at a time. And now I won it again 76 million dollars. I gave each family member 100000 each and now I'm trying to buy out all the cars to make the collection so I could get the ribbon. I might buy a few houses to. One thing I'm hoping for in the future is for when we buy more than one houses or cars we could rent it out to people and make money. Like have a car rental business and be a land lord.

By X2 on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

In reply to by Ornella

76 million? Wow you’re just lucky lol. And a car rental/landlord option would be really cool, it would really help bring in more money. I’m going to start playing the lottery more often. Thx.

By X2 on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

O and I forgot to ask, has anyone lived a criminal life? I have but only once, every time I tell myself I’m gonna lead a criminal life, it turneds out to be the opposite lol. And has anyone tried the customizable scenarios, where you can add your own scenario, is this for your friends/other players? Or is this for like your character? I tried it, but I didn’t really understand it. Like I knew what each edit field was for, but I didn’t find any button to add it to the game.

By Ornella on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

Sometimes I'm like that to. When my mind is set on crime my life ends up being perfect and I live it up. Lol. But when I do end up doing bad things I don't live long. If I have plenty money I hire the most expensive lawyer so I won't go to prison. For the cinario thing I didn't understand how it worked either so I didn't bother with it. I think they should add child support. Like if things don't work out the x could put the man or woman in court and that person has to pay money each year but they could have an option for that in the activities to physicaly pay it so if they forget they get arrested. Imagine someone has to pay child support for 10 kids. Lol.

By X2 on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

In reply to by Ornella

Lol that will be all bad, imagine paying for 10 kids or even more? The character that I played that lived a criminal life, didn’t live long either she only made it to 62 if I remember. Well, she started out as a He, but ended as a she. She was a transgender killer/car thief/drug mule lol. And yeah I did what you did as well, I would hire the most expensive lawyers, but towards the end I kept losing and finally I landed in jail because the most expensive lawyer failed me.

By X2 on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

Has anyone been killed by their pets/a random animal? I don’t know why, but I want to die by an animal lol.

By Paige on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

So I just figured out a way that makes it a lot easier to see the relationship bars, and I'm kind of annoyed at myself that I didn't think of it sooner. If you tripletap on the name of a relationship, it will bring you into the profile where you can go to the middle of the screen and find the relationship bar like normal. It's just a little faster than pressing the name, then navigating to the view profile button and pressing it.

By Ornella on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

none of my characters have never been killed by an animal but if you do get killed by one you get an achievement. If you want to get killed by one you might have to buy one of the exotic pet maybe a tiger or lion or something. I was thinking that when a person reaches 50 they should still let them go in to the clubs if they wanted to. But if they reach like close to 70's then I understand. I mean in real life I know people who go to the clubs or bars at the age of 50 and over. I was thinking that they could add bingo for senior citizens or anyone who want to win some extra cash and going to the mall but I'm not sure how that would work. Maybe if people over buy stuff they get a shopping addiction. Lol

By Sabrina on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

Hello. I am actively playing this game but for some reason I cannot seem to buy a horse. In the shop for pets screen I ttry to double tap on horse ranch but nothing happens.

By X2 on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

It might be because you don’t have enough space for the horse. Like for example, a ranch. I’ve owned a horse but only because it showed up at my doorstep. And I have the same issue, it doesn’t let me click on the horse ranch but then again it’s probably because I don’t have a ranch. Or maybe it’s for farmers? I’m not sure

By X2 on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

They should add in the option to go to a strip club. I know you can become a stripper, but I think it would be funny being 70 or 80 and going to the strip club. Does anyone know if there’s an option to become a porn star?

By Ornella on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

If it comes up in the job listing. In earlier comments on this thread I think someone said if the porn camera man job comes up to take it and eventually you well get promoted to porn star. I bought a ranch but no pets showed up as yet. One thing I realized is that the nicer or bigger the house more people tend to show up for a house party. I bought a few houses and I threw a party in my castle and 78 people showed up with the usual neighbours complaining about the noise. Strip club sounds interesting.

By X2 on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

Really? I didn’t know being a porn cameraman will get you promoted to porn star. And I also noticed that the bigger and nicer house you have, the more people come to your house party. My last character had a mansion and 230 people came one year. And since you have a ranch, are you able to access the horse ranch in the pets tab?

By Paige on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

To get a horse, you will need a property that has the word equestrian in the name. One that just says ranch won't work, it has to be equestrian, which is kind of weird, but you will probably want to be famous or have won the lottery peoplefor these to show up because they're usually a few million dollars

By DMNagel on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

You will need high smarts for promotion. Just study music, then start working as an apprentice music composer, then work until you get promoted. You will make a few million in a short time.

By Ornella on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

I did music composer and the most I made was up to 100 thousand if I could remember. Either that I I didn't tap on work harder. I didn't even become famous for that job. I bought 10 million dollars worth of property and I got the achievement. Still trying to assemble the car collection. And over 200 people at a house party wow. I will throw parties at all my houses and try to compare the numbers.

By X2 on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

I guess that makes sense, for the property to have the word equestrian in it. If you ask siri what equestrian means she says that it’s a writer or performer on horseback or relating to horse rating, whatever that means. And besides, it also makes sense that these types of properties are millions because of all the land it has for the horses. Has anyone became a judge? Or is the judge the magistrate option in the careers list? And what is the car collection?

By Ornella on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

The car collection is basically an achievement in the game. You spend a million dollars on any amount of cars that would be equal to that amount of money and you get the car collecter ribbon. I didn't get the job as the judge but I would think that you still need to go to law school and probably be a law clerk and maybe be promoted to a judge but it would be on the list when completing law school.

By DMNagel on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

You don't get famous when you are a music composer. You only get stinking rich. However, you need to have over 85% smart and first work as an apprentice music composer for a few years.

By X2 on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

The car collection sounds pretty hard to achieve lol, well at least for me. But good luck on your goal. And really? How rich did you get being a music composer? If I had known I would have done that instead. I was born with 95 smarts and I currently have 100. And has anyone gotten the mega centenarian achievement? I was so close to this achievement but I died at 119.

By Ornella on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

I got the car collection. I bought a car worth 3 million. I forgot the name of it. I did get the mega centenarian. I lived up to 124 years old. My game lasted 4 days and I got tired and sped it up. So what I'm sayng is that after my mom died everything went hay-wire. My wife left me at the age of 75 years of age and I had to pay her out 68 million. Every year I aged up I had so much cars I had to do some kind of repair or scrap it. I threw a party at my castle and 307 guest showed up. and I had so much houses I had to pay a lot of tax so when I did eventually die at the age of 99 I had about 31 million. When next I play again I will try to go for dental school.

By DMNagel on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

Keep in mind that i played without winning the lottery.

By Ornella on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

I will try the music composer thing again. And I think for that last life that I played I won the lottery maybe 3 times. I think in the future they should add utility and grocery expenses yearly depending on how big your family is. And this is how I think it could work. When purchasing a house, there could be a pop up to choose what you want to pay monthly for groceries. Minimum or poor families $500 $2000 for the working class families and for the rich families $10000 or higher. And more children more money. And I think it wold be a good idea to gift cars and houses to our kids.

By Sabrina on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

: was killed by a crazy boa constrictor that attacked my son and I yelled at it and the best fighting things were "she constricted your knee cap" and "she sliced open your brain". I have been expelled from school because of drugs. The fun part was that I got bullyed at school and I asaulted her so hard she died and I just moved on. Lol. Currently living a difficult life. I am deeply in debt wich is really annoying and I only have one child, a ten year old boy, and I am very sick and health is at 0 so he will get the debt so I will have to go through that debt again.

By Ornella on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

I tried to get expelled from school and it never worked out. I bet that was colledge you were using the drugs. because you could only get it from the night club.

By Paige on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

I got expeled from school because I had three or four part time jobs during college and got expeled for bad grades

By Ornella on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

Will try that out. Didn't know you could work more than one part time job at the same time.

By X2 on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

Wow! 124? That’s pretty high. And 39 million is really good. The highest I’ve ever gotten was 4 million. And I also think they should add like a welfare feature. Because I’ve had jobs that hardly pay and I would barely get by. And has anyone ever been kicked out/dropped out of elementary or high school? I tried this but neither of the two worked.

By X2 on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

I forgot to ask, has anyone done the military life? One character I had was on the military path, but my brother killed me after we got in a fight lol and I was only 36.

By Ornella on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

I did part of it but I also died. I can't remember how. Never got kicked out of school as yet but every time I try to drop out of elementary school on my own it won't let me.

By Steve Sawczyn on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

I find myself slowly becoming addicted to this app. Unfortunately, the settings dialog seems largely inaccessible in that with VoiceOver, it's hard to tell if features are enabled or disabled (selected or not). Also, all the text that gets generated appears in one never-ending scrollable block of text making new text sometimes difficult to find. Ideally, VoiceOver focus would be programmatically set at the beginning of new text when it appears, or alternatively, a heading could be used to denote the beginning of new text. Other than those issues, totally love and recommend the game.

By DMNagel on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

I agree with all your points.

By Ornella on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

I'm not sure what kind of illness is treatable in the emergency room. I'm saying this because every time someone attacks me I got there and every time I go there the affectiveness is always 25%. Sometimes when I go there it says maybe see a doctor instead. So if anyone knows please shed some light on it. And some of the alternative doctors are treating things that were treated by medical doctors. I had bonnions and I kept going to the medical doctor and it couldn't be treated but a few visits to the akipuncturst did the job. This life that I played when I was age 50 I had a genda reassignment surjry and my husband left me. Lol. I lived up to 103.

By X2 on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

Yea i agree with you on the settings capability with vo. As for the text that appears when an action is performed, thats pretty easy to nabigate. Just explore by touch, usually if you tap in the middle of the screen, it should place you an acction or 2 behind the action you just did. After you land on an action, set the vo roder to “lines” and swipe up or down. You’ll get used to it after awhile. Let me know if you need any clarification.

By KE7ZUM on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

One question. I notice let's say for legal assistant I see 31 of 120. If I reach 120 weeks will I still get paid if I go back to that job? I kind of want to keep it.

By X2 on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

I’ve never noticed the effectiveness of the emergency room. Then again, I hardly get injured or sick. However, I found that natural medicine is sometimes way more effective than medical treatment. And that was the same with me, I had a character who had gender reassignment surgery and I had bunions, but I went to jail lol. O I know we already talked about this but I think the bigger and nicer your houses, the bigger the party is. I recently won the lottery again and I got 47 million and with that money I bought myself a nice mansion. Well, I threw a house party, and 423 guests attended but no cops were called lol. I don’t know if it was because I’m rich or my neighbors just don’t care or cops don’t bug us fictional rich people lol.

By X2 on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

Hi, I’m not sure if you’re playing the right game. What you’re asking seems like you’re asking about the life simulator game.

By Ornella on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

Wow every single time I threw a house party no matter what house it is the cops always show up and when I get bored I argue with them and then I end up in prison because they find drugs lol. And I realized that about the natural medicine as well but in their update they should've put what was treatable by alternative doctors so we would know. Like I said some time ago every time I set my self to play a certain way the game always go the other way around for me. I saw the porn acter job and I didn't get it because my looks were 0 and by the time I got it up to 100 the job went away and I got fedup refreshing the list and I took the es-court service and then I ment to another country and did a crime but didn't get deported which I was hoping for. I was living in United States and then I went to Mexico. Should've gone to England or Turkey.

By X2 on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

Yea i agree. I threw another house party but less people came and the cops showed up but i didn’t want to lose all my money, So i apologized lol. Have you tried getting treatment by the witch doctor? Thats an achievement. And o yea i forgot that getting deported or locked up in a turkish prison is an achievement. I’m the same way, i set my mind on a certain path and instead, i go the other way. I had a question, so i recently won the lottery again and this time i won 99 million and i had about 30 million before. Anyway, my question is since i won the 99 million, my net worth increased to 150 million and i got the supre ritch and stinking ritch achievments. But the thing i don’t understand, why didn’t i get the multimillion achievement. It says “achieve a net worth of 10 million”. and obviously my net worth is 150 million. Anny help would be great. And how do you refresh to get new job listings? My next life, i’m gonna pull a kim kardashian, and try to get famous off being a porn star lol.

By DMNagel on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

Maybe they meant earning cash and not winning it? Just a wild guess.

By DMNagel on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

Every year, there are new job listings. However, you can also close and reopen the app to get new ones without having to age 1 year everytime.

By Ornella on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

I do that but sometimes the jobs I want I don't get it. I did go to Turkish prison and got an achievement. This life I'm doing now I'm trying to go for the doctor job since I didn't last long in it because my sister shot me with a machine gun Lol. We got in to a fight. I want to buy the most expensive car and house when I get that job. I hope I get a good car because some of those car dealers have more used cars than new ones. And some of the new ones they have are cheap and I have to end up scrapping it in the long run.

By X2 on Sunday, August 11, 2019 - 21:14

@dm, that sounds like a lot of work lol but thx I’m gonna try one of these days. And a machine gun? Lol thats funny. And yes, I thought it was just me, lately the past few lives I lived, the car dealers have way more used cars then new ones. And I am an expensive one lol I try only to buy lux cars, like mercedes and porsches. And that’s what I would do to refresh, thought I was missing something but just wanted to be sure. And how did you get the Turkish prison achievement? Did you immigrate to turkey? Or were you born a turkish citizen?
