### 3/5 — Poderia ter mais atualizações

*2026-08-01*

O jogo é ótimo, acredito que se existisse mais profissões, atualizações referente a os filhos também seria legal, só pra não ficar muito repetitivo. Além de que seria legal também personalizar o personagem, seja deixar ele com barba ou não.

### 5/5 — Creative

*2026-07-21*

This game is actually so good and underrated!! like you get so many chances to build your own life and also experience the consequences of your own doing. Such creative game I love it! 💖

### 4/5 — Хорошая игра, чтобы расслабить мозг

*2026-07-08*

Очень понравилась эта игра своей простой, но в то же время глубиной. Если заморочиться, можно получить разные сценарии одной и той же профессии, перепробовать все варианты исхода развития персонажа и даже найти скрытые достижения. Это очень подкупает. Однако, на данный момент моя галерея полностью собрала, все профессии куплены, достижения почти на максимум собраны, и у меня больше не осталось мотивации играть. Было бы здорово, если бы в игру добавили новые профессии, достижения или какие-то новые трудности (по типу игры за слепого ребенка) + хотелось бы, чтобы в магазин добавили эксклюзивные товары не только для мужской, но и для женской модельки. За это снимаю 1 звезду

### 4/5 — Adding New Features

*2026-06-11*

I love this game so much, but I would like you to add some new features. First, It would be amazing to have spouses of the same gender. I’ve been noticing that it’s the opposite gender of the gender you chose. Secondly, I would like to have the ability to pick what type of hairstyle we like. The game is still very entertaining and amazing! I would recommend it to anyone.

### 5/5 — Fun!

*2026-06-09, version 2.4.25*

Its a surprisingly fun game, wirh a lot of diversity but i do wish i could change skin colours, i can understand how that can be a lot to code in tho. It can get repetitive but I find it fun for a simple way to chill out with a simple game

### 4/5 — adicionem essa opção pls

*2026-05-06*

jogo muito legal e bom de passar o tempo mas poderia ter como casar com o mesmo sexo :(

### 1/5 — Update

*2026-04-27, version 2.4.25*

Update pls to IOS 26.4.2

### 2/5 — The game won’t start

*2026-04-16*

I’ve played this game on my old phone, and I decided to download it in my new one, but for some reason the start button never appears, I click everywhere and it never starts, but I love the game😓

### 5/5 — 우리 모두 후회없이 행복하게 살아요

*2026-03-15*

이거 좀 어릴 때 했다가 좀 커서 되게 오랜만에 했는데 찐으로 울컥해서 눈물났어여 과거회상할 때 한마디씩 나오는 거......... 나이를 좀 먹고 보니 다 맞는 말인 것 같습미다... 엄마아빠친구들그냥모든주변사람들의 소중힘을 다시한번 깨닫게 됐습니다 우리 모두 후회 없이 행복하게 살아요🥲😍

### 4/5 — Surprising

*2026-03-12, version 2.4.25*

Surprisingly fun game! I like that you have to figure out what triggers the different life paths and the game doesn’t hold your hand. Lots of replay ability
