I was born a Turkish citizen. At first I wasn't going to do it but for the hell of it I did to get the achievement. Lol. And it took longer than expected because I was so bored I did home robberies and I almost got the items and every time I got caught no cops came except for the last time I did it. And I think I saw a job to be a stripper but I didn't take it. Can't remember if it was male or female.

By Ornella on Tuesday, July 23, 2019 - 10:15

I didn't expect to die so young. Lol. I didn't get to medical school so I ended up doing dental school and I was 27 years of age and I had high blood pressure. When I aged up, boom! I died of a heart attack. My mom didn't like me. She never gave me much money and she didn't attend my funeral. My part time job was a casheer at the movies. I think I might bol-doze that grave. Not sure.

By Sabrina on Tuesday, July 23, 2019 - 10:15

Meh. Not a nice mother you have. I managed to get my mom into prison because she called me something aweful and I insulted her back and she attacked me and I called the cops on her and now she won't talk to me. Also my ex tried to kill me with a car. I am going to murder her. Literally. Lol.

By Sabrina on Tuesday, July 23, 2019 - 10:15

I want to see how long I can be able to keep going but am deeply in debt and my son is fifteen years old and I hope that when I die he is not yet 18. Don't have a job because I have a prison record. What a good father I am. I wish I had another child because then I would be able to put the debt of the will to the other child.

By X2 on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

What ribbon did you get next to that life? Since you died at 27. I had one where I died at the age of seven and the ribbon I got was unlucky. I kept it though. And does your mom at least have money? If not you can try stealing from her lol, but I’m not sure if that’s an option.
And @sabrina, Thats funny about your mom and your x. Did you and your mom have a bad relationship? Or did you provoke her? Or did she just come at you? And if you want to have another kid, just go to the love tab under the activities and click hookup or date and don’t wear protection.

By X2 on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

I finally got an exotic pet. Well, more like he showed up at my doorstep and I took him in. I hope he kills me lol. I doubt it though, his craziness level is at 7. But haven’t lost hope yet.

By Ornella on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

I didn't get any ribbons for dieing at age 27. I have to check and see if I already have the unlucky ribbon because I died at age 15 from fighting with someone in school. Not sure if we could steal from parents though. My mom was a firechief and my dad was a mail carrier. I got more money from my dad though but my brother was way older than me so when I was going to school I asked him for money each year and the most he gave me was $400. And Sabrina wow I never had the cops called on my mom. Lol. My sister called the cops on me because I assaulted her. After I stopped asking for money my mom refused to spend time with me so I gave up the spending time with all because my happiness went down. This life I'm doing now, I'm trying to see how much babies I could have but the mis-carridges and some of the women refusing to keep the babies isn't helping me out. So far don't have any diseases. When it says that the person has some craziness going on down below I tap on never mind. I'm age 19 and have 5 babies so far. 4 boys and 1 girl.

By Joel on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

It Took a long time, but I finally managed to have 100 children in one year.

By Sabrina on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

If I remember correctly we did not have a good relationship. This may be because I often asked her for money and I insulted her every time she refused to give me anything.

By Joel on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

Now I’m deeply in debt and I have a lot of STDs.

By Sabrina on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

Precious Lopez died at the age of 53. I died from a heart attack. And my son is in debt, yeah.

By Ornella on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

100 babies in 1 year? How is that possible? Because I think you could hook up with 15 people in one year. Or did you mean 100 babies in one life? And sometimes I insult my parents when they didn't want to give me money but not every year. I think there's a ribbon when you start your life and tap on surrender. I forgot what its called. I did all those things when this game was barely accessible.

By Ornella on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

I think if they pulled out the item picker and all the unwanted text from this game the playthrough could be very fast and less annoying. I'm still kind of struggling with kids. Lol. I'm 23 and have 19 kids and already have HIV. My hands are so tired now. I have so many x flings sometimes its hard to remember the ones that don't want to have nothing to do with you and the ones you could hook up with. plenty of them refusing to keep the baby and I'm yet to have twins or triplets. I hooked up with someone who was on birth control and she got pregnant. First time I saw that defect in the pill. For the HIV I do the most expensive treatment hoping that I would live longer.

By Joel on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

Every time you close and reopen the app, the hookup list refreshes. So it was easy to get the hookups. It was not easy to get 100 babies in a year. They kept choosing not to keep them.

By X2 on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

Omg 100 babies? I could barely do 100 flings. Which I did it all in my 60s lol. And I got the stud achievement. And I’m the opposite, when I didn’t want the baby, she always wanted to keep it. Was hoping for no kids in the life i’m currently playing but o well.
And if you end your life, you’ll get the wasteful ribbon.
I’m still trying to figure out how to get kicked out of elementary/high school, I’ll try again when I’m done with this life. Has anyone succeeded I’m getting kicked out of school? College is easy to get kicked out of.
And how do you know if there something going on down there with a lover? Does it tell you? Or do you close the app when you get the disease? That’s what I do when I don’t want a certain disease or something bad happening.

By X2 on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

Is it just me or is there no grandparents in the game? I have grandkids and I can spend time/converse with them. But I was wondering if anyone else has had grandparents to spend time with or talk to?

By Ornella on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

The players them selves don't have grand-parents to spend time with but only if we have kids and they have kids. I kind of gave up on the 100 baby challenge but I will try again sometime. When you go to the hook up tab and you tap on a person sometimes it would say looks like she has some craziness going on down there. When I tapped on keep going I got herpies. Lol. For elementary school I can't remember being kicked out as yet but I think if you bully and fight with kids enough you might get kicked out. The last life I just finished I threw a house party for 87 guests. No cops came but one of the people over dosed on angel dust and I had the option to take them to the hospital or do nothing. But I think if I had done anything the cops would've shown up and I would be charged for murder. I'm not sure how I'm going to play my next life but I do know that I'm going to spin the lottery so much till I run out of money or until I win the amount that I want in one year.

By X2 on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

Wow I never knew that, I’m going to try it and see if I get anything when I hook up with someone. And you could’ve gotten the hero achievement if you have taken the person to the hospital, unless you have that Achievement already. And like I already said, I’m going to try to get kicked out of school in the next life. I’m still currently on the same one. And they should add an auto shop option. Like where we would be able to take our car to customize it. For example, rims, change the color and material of the interior, and/or painted. There’s been times where I find the car I want but I don’t like the color. And if you think about it, customizing a car would increase it’s worth and would probably make it last longer, since the cars we currently have only last about 30 to 40 years. My last life I had a Lexus that lasted 52 years, I don’t know how. Anyway, I think it would be cool to have an activity like that.

By X2 on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

Same thing for our houses. Like there would be an option to remodel/fix the yard. Or clean the house. Because just like the cars, I find a house I like but the condition is pretty low. This would have the same concepts as the cars, increase the worth and condition of the house. And if you think about it, you would be able to buy a house at a low price because of its condition and totally flip it and sell it and get really good money. Basically investing in a house.

By Sabrina on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

I was trying to get 100 babies in one life but I was so wreckless that I think I had all deceases possible' And so I tried to do it but only got five and the year after I died' I didnt care continuing that legacy and am thinking of getting rid of that embarrasing stupid gave.

By Ornella on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

I agree with all those things. I want to drive a pink car. Lol. But I also think we should have options to actually drive the car and not rely on pop ups. For example if we have a car, there could be an option in the activities tab called car trips. And then when in that option you could go on a long road trip, the gas station or anywhere you want to go. And back tracking to my idea about the mall, in there we could go to a food court or what ever fast-food, have an ice-cream have a coffee and or just buy random junk like clothes jewelry or what ever the mall sells. That will either in crease our happiness or make us a shopper-holic. And I did get the hero ribbon some time ago. Can't remember for what. I think I saved someone's life.

By Ornella on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

I finally got the porn acter job. Before that I was working as a porn writer and I had to leave that job when I saw the porn camera man job available and now I'm promoted to porn acter. Not sure if it will make me famous.

By Sabrina on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

Managed to become famous once but died very early because of asault but it was lots of fun. I started as a voiceover actor wich is actually my real life dream and started from there.

By Sabrina on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

I want 100 babies in a life, 200 flings, I want to see if I can get my legacy high because my record is 24 characters. Currently working on the baby stuff and it will be fun choosing wich kid should get my will partially because I am once again in debt. This character sucks. Also I have a prison record and cannot get a job so yay, this chracter is screwed and I only have fifteen children. blah. Really glad you got famous, Ornella. I will try doing that again next life wich will be a lot of fun. I had a short burst of fame but this character died. blah.

By Ornella on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

I liked the fame when I was a famous magician. My fame went away when I was close to 90. I got loads of money from doing commercials and writing books. In that life I had 280 flings but I used condums on all that I could've used when it was available. Had one kid out of all. And you could go to the club and get free drinks from 50 and up.

By DMNagel on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

Flings dosn't ask you to date them.

By X2 on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

I like the mall idea. I would spend all my money on useless junk lol. Same for the car option, like road trips and gas stations. One character I had, my parents bought me a pink car when I passed my drivers test.
How much money did you make while being famous? Did you also win the lottery while being famous?

By X2 on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

Would the music composer get you famous? Because I started a new life and I want to try to get famous. And I was thinking about going with the music composer option.

By DMNagel on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

Being a music composer will only get you rich. If you have some smart and looks, you could become a magician by studying art at the University.

By Ornella on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

I made millions mostly from commercials and I made plenty money from the books I published but the tv interviews always screwed me over most of the time. The flings don't ask to date us but I think if we tap on one of their names we could choose to date them if we want. Also I think if we date someone and they re really ugly we could pay for their surgery. That would be cool. I hav to see if I could revive my twitter account and send some of the ideas to bitlife devs.

By Ornella on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

What do you have to study to get that job? And I bet eventually it might make you famous.

By DMNagel on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

That will do the trick. The best part is that you can keep the job until you die. No forced retirement nonsense.

By Ornella on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

When I was going down the list I saw a job for an armpit sniffer. I was laughing so much thinking if that's even a real job and who would even want that. Lol. I will try the writer job some time.

By Paige on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

I don't have this life anymore because I got a new phone, but I actually had that job for most of my life and it was in the obituary thing

By Ornella on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

So I'm now a famous porn star and I have a verified account on social media. And each year when I post something I get way more likes than ever. I think the most I've gotten now is over 4000. I'm bad lucky with houses. I really wanted a million dollar home but I had to settle for half a million and funny enough I threw a house party, 17 guests came and everyone had a good time. No cops showed up. I'm making over 200000 in photo shoots and maybe a little over 100000 for my published books. My fame is already at 100 percent. I hope I could keep it up as long as possible. I cheated on my girlfriend many times and she didn't leave me as yet. Lol. I'm trying not to do drugs and have everything at 100 percent.

By Lexi on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

I haven’t played this game in so long and the screen has change so much. Can someone please show me how to use it? I am trying to find some tabs that I think disappeared. Such as getting smarter, work, and school.

By Ornella on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

Well even though I lived up to the age of 100, my fame as a porn star only lasted for 12 years all because of a house party. Lol. I didn't even argue with the neighbours and the police searched the house and found drugs. The lawyer failed me and I apealed and my sentence was over-turned. I went back for the porn job and I got rejected. And after my fame went away a year or 2 from there. I worked a few normal jobs and got fired and had to sue a few companies. My last job I settled for was a photographer. When I did start back posting on social media it said you lost a bunch of followers because people couldn't remember who you were and what they were following you for. Then I threw one last house party and no one came. I had to spend $19000 on one car repair. I had no kids or a wife.

By X2 on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

Hi, to get smart there’s a few ways you can do that. You can go to the library, meditate, watch documentaries, etc.
To do all that, scroll down until you find the activities tab. To go to the library/meditate, look for mind and body. All categories are alphabetical in the activities list. To watch documentaries, just click on movie theater and click on documentary.
As for school, you automatically start elementary and high school. However, you can study harder or drop out. To do this, Look for the school tab and click on it. After you click on it scroll down until you find elementary or high school, depending which one you’re on. Click that and the two options I mentioned above will be shown.
To get a job, after you graduate high school it will ask you to continue to university, get a job, or take some time off. Which ever one you choose, will have an effect later on your life. For example, if you want a high-paying job, then you will have to go to university. But if you don’t care, you can just get a normal job.
To buy a house or car, click on the assets tab and scroll down until you find car dealers/real estate brokers. After you select one of these options, it will give you more options to choose from, click those and a list of cars/houses will appear with their price next to them. To get more info, such as the color of the car or monthly expense, click on the car name. Same for the house, to see its condition and it’s mortgage, click on the house.
And if you want to spend time with your family/partner/kids, just click on the relationships tab. A list of the people in your life will be presented. Click on one of their names to do activities with that person. And if you want to spend time with everyone at once, scroll all the way to the bottom of the relationships tab and click on spend time with all.
O and before I forget, to find a partner, go to the activities tab and look for love. A list of options will show up and click one of these. For example, dating app.

What do you need to get the porn actor job? I tried but it didn’t let me. It popped up in The jobs list twice. Right now I’m a circus performer, hoping to get famous but I don’t think it’s going to go anywhere. I was a stuntman for a while, hoping to become an actor. And if you go to university and choose arts as a major? What is it mean by art, like arts as in painting and sculpting or performing arts? And how much did you make since you were famous. And I think I’m going to get the rider job, I have 100 smarts so I should be good.

By Ornella on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

At first I didn't get it so I saw the option for porn writer and I took that one then the next year I refreshed the list and I saw the job for porn camera man. That's the one you want. I took that and after a year or 2 I think I got promoted to porn star. Then I became famous. My salary rose to 100k over the years but I think if I was famous long enough I probably would've made millions. And for being famous I got deals like 100 to 200k for photo shoots and over 100k for writing books. The circus performer I thik it might get you famous but not too sure on that. When you study arts in university its performing arts. That's how I became a famous magician. Now I'm a dance instructer hoping to be promoted to a dancer. Thank god my university was free in NewZealand.

By Lexi on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

In reply to by X2

Thank you, that really helps. I can’t find the school tab

By Ornella on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

I was hoping to own a bunch of rabbits and I have a ranch style home which is very big. I have 5 rabbits. Well 4 now because one died. When I try to buy plenty it says I don't have enough space for another rabbit. How much animals are allowed in a home? I think they should kind of change that a little bit because we could always buy more and more cages. This life that I'm living is very chilled. I'm a school teacher have 5 kids moving along slowly. My wife is only giving me boys. I only have one daughter. I studied education in university and that's how I got the teaching job.

By Lexi on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

I tried to watch a documentary but nothing happened. How do you watch movies?

By Ornella on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

There aren't many documentaries to watch. Its random. You could watch comedies though to boost your happiness.

By Lexi on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

In reply to by Ornella

A documentary appeared. When I tried to tap on comedy nothing happens. Voiceover just repeats what I tapped on just like when I tried to tap on the documentary . Also how do you refresh things such as movies or jobs? And I didn’t see an option to spend time with my half brother or to even give him a gift.

By Ornella on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

When the documentary shows up swipe all the way to the right of the screen and tap on go see it. For spending time and buying gifts you have to go to the relationships tab and tap on the person's name and there will be different things to do with them. And if you go all the way down you would see spend time with all. To fresh the list you could close the app and reopen it if you don't get what you want.

By X2 on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

Hi, One thing I forgot to mention is that, when you open an option, such as the documentary, you have to close it if you want to see a comedy. Look for the back or close button, and if you want to make swiping through the app a little more easier and less confusing, go to the settings of the app and turn on the power user mode. Keep in mind that all descriptions and the game will be turned off. That’s the point of making it a little less confusing. For example, when you buy a house, it will save the house type but it won’t say the price next to it. You would have to click on the house and look at the info to get the price. Same with cars and other things in the game. To go to the settings click the main menu at the top of the app, and scroll down to Settings and click Power user. And the school/job button is next to the edge button.

By X2 on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

O OK thanks. Wasn’t sure if the arts was for performing arts or not. And I was a circus performer for a while but I got tired of it, I didn’t get famous or maybe it’s because I didn’t wait long enough. I’m currently a writer, let’s see where that takes me. And I didn’t know there was such a thing as a porn writer lol. And the magician job popped up and I clicked on it but I didn’t get excepted. I don’t know if it was because I already had a job or what but I had all the qualifications. And there should be a breeder option in the jobs list. For example, you would click on breeder and it would give you a pop up asking you which animal you would like to breed and there would be a drop-down menu, like there is for university and stuff. And you would be able to get a license to breed.
And are you sure that five pets are the limit? Because one life I played, I had eight snakes, like boa constrictors and ball pythons, which are big snakes. And snakes take up more room than rabbits do, especially big ones. And I had a small house, I think it was a three bedroom and a three bath, not too sure. How big is your house? Maybe it depends on the size of the house? And yea, the university fee varies by country, like in Australia, it’s also free.

By Ornella on Friday, August 23, 2019 - 10:15

My house is a spacious ranch. 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. I agree with what you said about the pets. We could make pplenty money that way. I don't think they have farm animals do they? Like cows and goats and sheep. Can't remember seeing that. But now it don't really matter about the rabbits because they died so fast. When I take them to get treatment none of them were cured so I stopped buying them. Plus 2 of them died because it was my wife's fault. She forgot to give one of them water and she left the other one out in the cold and one ran away and got killed by a hunter. The other 2 died of cancer I think. I'm still living a chill life in Canada with my wife and I have 6 kids. I felt bad that I couldn't pay for one of them to go to university so when I won the lottery I gave each of them $100000 each and my wife got mad at me every time and I yelled at her. I had to kind of bribe her to like me again by giving her more money. Lol. I retired at the age of 65. And all I'm doing is aging up and spending time with everyone and trying to keep all my stats at 100%.
