This game is good, I bought both of the expansion packs (both are def worth it) and I have a lot of fun, but It’s really competitive. Here are things I think could be added to make the game more interesting/fun: - Being able to come from a single-parent home (one of them left, one died before you were born, etc.) - Having divorced parents that can split custody over you - If you have a child, you’re able to continue that life after you die and continue the family name - I don’t know if this is already a thing, but like the possibility that both of your parents die before you’re 18 - The ability to treat or medicate your depression or other mental health conditions if you are diagnosed with them - Being able to commit more crimes than just stealing something from a friend - Being able to maintain friendships —— I don’t know how easy or possible it is to even program these suggestions but I just think they’d make the game more enjoyable. Thanks for reading this! :D
This game is fun. It’s a slightly more child-appropriate version of bitlife. The art is super cute. There’s a lot you can do with your life. However, it is kind of repetitive, as the same things happen in different lives, and, in almost all cases, have the same results. I’ve pretty much memorized how to have my stats all the way up by now. There’s also a few bugs; for example, different ages can do different things, for example in recreation, babies can drink milk, sleep, etc, children can cuddle teddy bears, draw, make up imaginary friends, etc, teens can go to parties, adults can go to the mall, dine out, etc, and old people can play bingo, go to an art museum, etc. well, when I’m a baby, I either see the things that elderly people do or the things adults do. This happens in other categories too, like productivity. How can I clean my house before I have one? Another bug is the transition from past lives to your current ones. Let’s say in my last life I was “Bob” and now I was “Steve.” Well, it would still say bob, and it would say my old parent’s names too, and my children. Last and final bug is the stats, I’d have to stop my playing to go do something, come back and play again, and suddenly all my stats are depleted and in the bottom of the red. It would be nice if you could update these things, thanks and overall great game.
I don't understand how you can get to the top of the financial ladder, retire at 77, and then have no income at all? When people get old, their health is getting worse every year, they get cancer 3 times or 4 times, they are all cured by surgery, there is no retirement salary, there is no money in their bank account, their children and grandchildren still need me to pay for their wedding, their mansion has been reclaimed, the highest standard nursing home is gone, so many children and grandchildren and my brother's partner, are fake, there is no way, and they restart their financial career at the age of 80. But it is not enough to pay wages, the air in the big city is not good, the best house bought in the suburbs is also recovered, moved to the worst house, it is not good for the health. Get sick every year. A billionaire who basically maintained for over 30 years his full mood, health, family, partner, wealth, friend value, and national award died in retirement with no pay, no benefits, no help, and a steady stream of illness. Unable to interact with my family, so many people in the family tree or so many people, can not understand, can not do anything, even have no relationship with them, do not know their economic situation, when I am rich, money is not spent, can not support them, and no one helps me when I am in trouble.
I really enjoy playing this game, it's cute and creative, but I seem to be cursed! Bugs and the RNG make the experience so frustrating. For example, all 4 of my children will die before I turn 50 and I won't even have a spouse to turn to for comfort because when each of these children were born, my spouse immediately hates me and will divorce me about it. Well, that's fine. As a four time divorcee mother, I'll take care of my kids somehow. Like launching my very own brand! My fame is at 100% so I'll make a bunch of money and—oh no wait as soon as I launch my brand, my fame plummets to 0, jeez what luck. You know, that's okay. I'll just throw myself into a career with my skills that I keep practicing. I have an 80 in my skill so even if I can't master the current milestone, I'll go back to one of the earlier ones and build my skill up that way, but I can't even do that because it doesn't matter if my skills are 99, I'll still fail the easiest milestone! I want to give this game a higher rating because the seasonal gameplay is really fun and clever, no other life sim IOS games I've seen have done that, but the issues are enough to make me want to uninstall sometimes.
I’ve had this game for a while and honestly, I regret updating it. Now it loads slow, it’s buggy, and all of the new character customization options I was looking forward to using got removed in the update yesterday. It loads slower than any other game I have and I’ve got some pretty big, demanding games downloaded. I liked being able to choose what my character’s zodiac was but now it’s back to being random. There’s only one curly hairstyle, and sometimes if you get a haircut in game it’ll change the shape of the hair, but keep the old outline of the original hair causing this weird overlap bug. There’s no back button on some of the actions like looking at available jobs and if you click on it by accident, you have to just start your career over. Also, I upgraded the perk to allow you to increase your physical while elderly in order to live longer but if you do something to increase your physical while elderly the stat will turn green like it’s raising, but still go down. Yeah the earlier versions of the game would get boring after a few runs, but I would rather have a boring game than a barely functional game.
I love this game it’s fun and I’m only ten and I’m obviously not allowed to have bitlife so this is better for kids over 9 only if you’re allowed to. But onto suggestions, I think your kids should be able to have kids and those kids can have kids too so you can have like a goal to be a great grandparent. And also have like more kids so you could have another goal that’s like have more than 4 kids. But I like how there’s a options of what kind of drama you want in your life. And it would be more fun if there was more events and like you can also get your kids into sports and have like financial problems, kind of like my family. My parents have four kids and they have to race to get to sports practices so that would be more realistic. Also I would like to be able to have like twins or triplets etc. And I wish you could find love like at 15 or older and I wish there were like more medical problems like autism or like be able to break a bone. Thanks for listening!
Okay, this game is honestly amazing, and I love it! But it’s kind of repetitive after one life, so can you please add one of my suggestions? ‘World War Package.’ (It could be payed for if you want) Maybe when you’re a child, a feud could start between countries and it could escalate into a war. So you could be a soldier who has to make crucial decisions on how to attack and protect your country, or a war nurse helping out, or just a normal civilian trying to hide. ‘Custom scenario maker’ it could be included in the deluxe package or could be a whole new one. It allows players to make their own scenarios. It could be pretty creative and nice. Add a crime package. You could commit many crimes and be a criminal, and sometimes get caught so there will be tons of prison scenarios happening there. Like fights and such, or filing or appeals. You could start a riot or try to escape from prison, like the fame and fortune interviews, it could be timed.
Everlife is fun, replayable, and wholesome. The choices you can make for your little character are interesting and dynamic. The game hints at things your character might be interested in, giving you gentle suggestions but not blocking you in. It’s endlessly replayable with so many options and paths you can take. It’s also very cute! The art is so adorable. However, the game in its current state has been riddled with bugs. Replayable? Yes. Only because I haven’t been able to get through one life without encountering a game breaking bug that forces me to start over. Bugs like the same event that replays over and over, not allowing you to progress through the year. Autoselecting ‘continue’ ruining the potential for a good year. And a few more here and there. Happening once? Hey, it happens once in a while! But it has happened to me every playthrough. It’s forced me to put the game down until this issue is fixed. Which again, is a shame, because it’s a fun game with great replayability. I hope these issues are fixed in the near future!
