How do I do this?

I like the game a lot, but every time I start a new life it’s always a girl, how can I make it a boy?

THANKKKKSSS

Not The Best

Definitely not the best in its category. You continuously make an A or B choice with no true method as to why the choice impacts your character the way it does. I prefer the versatility of BitLife more because you have many more routes you can take.
Not awful for only .99 cents, but probably not worth more than that.

Please Update AGAIN!!

It’s been a year since the last update. Now I just got the game and love it because I can play it when I can’t get service but I would like to be able to continue past the age 78 and see if I can survive past 100. If I retire and go to the nursing home just give me options I can only do in one but. Not able to be Mayor or president pass that point but more like to die of a disease if I don’t eat right. Also would like to have the options to pick what college I should attend. (Give four choices on some options) overall bring updates or make a new app where you can even see what he or she may look like randomly generated. Thanks Developers! I hope you have to the time to read this.

Good games?

Good game need more choicies but oder than that it seem pretty solid after bout like 4 hour 5 definitely worth 99¢ buy right now or you regret for a long time

Needs improvement but still good

Some of the things glitch when you “break up” with someone it still says in a relationship or if you divorce. Also I died by a tornado but it says “died survived by a tornado at age 29” think that needs fixing.
I think there needs to be more exciting and different options in there and to be able to live past 78 but still a fun game to play time to time

subtly moving

Not many games are capable of reminding us of the shortness and preciousness of life. This is one of them - not through a single play but through repeated plays, which let you begin to understand how many lives are mostly similar, because of the natural constraints time puts on us. This game, played repeatedly, is reassuring in some ways, troubling in others. It’s not a masterpiece or anything but it’s a fine piece of work.

Good for what it is.

This game is a pleasant little game that involves random decisions that somewhat rely on the stats that you have built. It’s a neat idea to assure that no two playthroughs are the same.

But lets be honest. There should be a few choices in life that aren’t random. The choice to go to college. What type of career to delve into. My first ever character had high athleticism. My first thought is “okay cool. I will focus on that and become a professional Athlete of some sort.” Only to learn that the only job offer she would receive would be desk clerk. A sad place for someone who highly favored activity instead of leisure.

Again. It’s great for what it does. Making no two play throughs the same. Some harder then others. But while life is indeed random and unpredictable, I would like to believe there is some control to education and careers. 4/5

Ratings don't matter much

What you do doesn't seem to matter much. I just had a life with almost maxed out intelligence, beauty, wealth and charisma and he lost his job at 41 and never got another one. Also going to college for something doesn't matter either. My law degree guy only got a social worker job off. Only get this if you just want to watch stuff with little input

Good game with a few issues

Very enjoyable game to play when you’re relaxing or watching TV.
There are a few things that have been bothering me, though:
From time to time, your partner will break up with you, even if you’re married. You’re not getting divorced, though, and that one notification is simply ignored.
I’d like to see a luck stat, which affects getting into accidents, losing your job or getting sick.
It would also be very cool to have a stat which indicates how morally “good” or “bad” your character is. I realize that that might be a bit difficult considering that many options are controversial but it would add to the game nonetheless.

Apart from this, $1 well spent!

Looks Nice; But Random and Boring

Exact same stuff happens life after life. Tap Tap Tap. No real control over your life choices, either.
