SimLife

One lifetime is only the beginning in SimLife. Create a character and shape their story year by year, from school friendships and a first job to a business, a family and an inheritance. This single-player, text-based life simulator unfolds through actions, events and choices with consequences.

Choose your path

Study, develop skills, browse job openings and take interviews. Build a career, pursue creative projects, join the military or run for office. Your progress depends on preparation, circumstances and the decisions you make.

Build a livelihood

Start a business, hire employees, grow your company and balance income against expenses. Buy homes and cars, rent out property, invest, take loans and manage your household budget. Setbacks can leave you facing losses and debt.

Make room for the people around you

Meet friends, date, marry and raise children. Support loved ones, work through conflicts and try to reconcile after mistakes. Look after your health, make time for hobbies and care for pets.

Start over somewhere new

Travel and move between cities and countries. Choose a basis for immigration, meet residency conditions, manage your documents and work towards citizenship. Moving can affect your job, studies and living expenses.

Live with your decisions

Events, chance encounters and delayed consequences change the course of a life. Pursue a steady career, risk your savings on a company, seek political power or face investigation, trial and prison after committing a crime.

Carry on the family story

Write a will and decide what you will leave behind. When a life ends, continue as an eligible relative and preserve earlier generations in your family archive.

• Character creation and appearance customization.

• Education, careers, business, relationships, politics and immigration.

• Choice-driven events with consequences that can emerge years later.

• Inheritance and a family story spanning generations.
