Complete Waste of Time
Many of the reviews you read mention how the game is impossible without spending real money, while that may almost be true, it wasn't the case for me.
The first time I attempted to play through, I didn't want to watch any ads or spend any money. I ended up dying before turning 25 because you're forced to pay for more than you can afford at most stages in the game.
Because of this, on my second attempt I made sure I always had the minimum amount of assets required to get a new job, but I was still making less money than the game forces you to spend, however I was able to barely stay in the game by watching ads to make extra money to fullfil these payments.
I ended up beating the game in no more than 3 days. This consisting or having the most expensive of every asset, the best job (Global Superstar), and having a positive income of almost 1M per month. However it was a complete waste of my time. I watched the same lotsa slots ad probably 100 times and even spent more time watching these ads than I did playing the game.
I think this game needs to have an in game way to make money rather than spending time in gambling ads

Itâs a good game but has literally mentally drained me
This game has literally messed with my mental thinking I could get her to be my character to be successful which I have it just keep going down and down the money I felt like I was in a sociological war far you will understand what I mean when you get deep into the game my money was literally going down for stuff that I didnât even cause watching countless amount of ads to bring it up just for me to loose it all canât even count the amount of times my character went homeless and also the characters have serious depression issues like if they get sad over everything and anything if you donât spend when you ignore the depression that unntimality succumb to it and die like if itâs not one thing itâs another this game will mess with you mental

Impossible like everyone else says
You have to spend real money, while watching ads every few minutes to actually win.
Once you get to a certain level, you get a promotion, yet the income does not meet the cost of requirements. For example, If you make 6k a month, you have to pay thousands more than that to promote yourself. The cost of âlivingâ is insanely overpriced to the income. Especially when some of the promotional groups bring you back down, 4-5k less than your last income. Yet still ALL the same requirements. The ads alone are obnoxious every few minutes, they should just be like other games and make the ads pay for the gameplay, or an option to pay 5-7$ for no more ads forever.
But this game is honestly horrible. I donât know how itâs a number 2, but I havenât played the other version. Not interested after this.

Not bad
I donât get what everyone is saying that they have to pay so much money. I think the moral of the game is to just have patience and save aka what people usually do in real life. It took what Iâll say 5 days to finish the game and I didnât spend a dime (real money) just follow all the things you need to buy to get a job and youâll be set. The only thing I didnât like about the game is the after part. Once I was done itâs like minus well delete because there was nothing else to do. Game wouldâve been great if you can actually talk and choose what you want to do like what it shows on the ads. But either than that itâs not a bad game.

Could be entertaining
Wasted potential. This could be an entertaining game. The kind I wouldnât mind spending money on. The problem here is that it isnât a game at all. Itâs just a clever trap to make the developers money. Itâs impossible to succeed and spending money/watching ads doesnât change that. So youâre just throwing away money and time by even trying. Which is sad really. It would probably take less effort and be more lucrative for the developers to make this a fun game rather than simply maintaining this scam. If some developers who are actually interested in creating a game could take this concept and use it honestly, it could be a fun way to pass the time. But alas, this particular app a trap. Give it a try and see for yourself if youâd like but do NOT spend any money. This game was not developed in good faith. It is a very creative scam.

Honestly a Boring Ad Clicker
So I was bored with playing the same games I have over and over and I saw an ad for this and said why not try it? After âplayingâ during a 95 minute movie, I had almost been halfway done with the whole game(I was already on the silver screen, sports car, husband and child, good house, etc.).
All you do is watch ads to keep the money coming in. Thereâs no interaction of actual game play other than âclick this to change your jobâ, âclick this to upgrade your houseâ, âclick to increase happiness/healthâ, and most of all âwatch this ad to double your income!, âWatch this ad to skip two months in your educationâ, âwatch this ad to gain extra cashâ, etc. No actual game play, just the very basic âidleâ gameplay, but youâll have to watch hundreds of ads to get through the game.
Thereâs no actual choices, no dialogue, no personalization other than making a choice between six premade avatars and choosing your own name. You can pay for outfits, houses, cars, more money, but thereâs no point in it honestly. It was probably just made to get money from ad revenue. The art isnât even really good, mostly just colorful
I âplayedâ for almost 2 hours and deleted it. Not worth time.

Hard to win
This game is so complicated to win like getting to the final stages I canât even make it past like the actor part part time because then you need to earn $900,000 just to move onto the next stage that pays you just like $300 a month and thereâs so much expenses Iâm always in the negative and the fiancĂ©/boyfriend is always wanting more and more and more but I donât have the money for it because Iâm always in debt I barely even made it to 50,000 and then I literally lost it real quick and then the happiness level it went to zero so now I have to start taking money from what she won to pay for her happiness because if it goes below eight I canât do anything about it itâs just so hard to earn money and not worth it because Iâve had to watch at least 60 ads and it doesnât really get me anywhere

A racist and sexist ad...not cool!
I downloaded this game because I thought it would be like the Sims. But after a certain ad I saw recently, I have to agree with LexiLou1031, spears34, and several other reviewers. Ad in question depicts a bad (single) mother who loves her daughter but is always scolding her son. Son grows up and moves away to get married, thrilled to get away from his âtoxic family and awful sister.â But just then his no-good mom shows up and yells at him yet again for ârunning away.â She explains that his sister was dumped by her boyfriend and now she and her son (the main characterâs nephew) have nowhere to live. Should our hero forgive his sister or throw her out? All of this is demeaning to women. Oh, and the broken family is African-American, so thereâs a racist element, too. I know this meant to be a âmatureâ game, but drama that gets this ugly is not good for anyone.

DONâT DOWNLOAD
At first seeing that everyone said it was impossible I downloaded it as a challenge but the only way, I swear the only way to go forward is watching videos, it gives you the chance to watch an add every 20 seconds if you donât you lose money. So you and up just watching hundreds of adds and then at one point, no matter how much money you collected (I even got to 1 million) it makes you basically lose all of it. I went from 1 million + to 10 thousands in3 seconds because in order to get a better job I had to buy a car, if I didnât buy the car I lost 60 thousands every month (which are like 20 seconds) so I couldnât even watch ads to go foward. At the begging it was fun but then it gets awful and impossible to play. I spent weeks to get were I had got and it forced me to lose all my money as start over. DONâT DOWNLOAD.

Worst game
This game is impossible i spent so much money on it and it seems like idk if it the glitches but all my money keeps disappearing. I had spent over 10m on this game and every time i log in it like my money is vanishing in thin area . This whole game is a scam . It like they are taking your money and not giving it to you because there no way i can be homeless and broke on the street after completing every single education courses and allot doing every job . This game isnât even basic off real life meals do not cost no where near as much money as they making you spend . Nothing is cheap about this game it a waste bc you can be almost done and then some glitch happen and all of a sudden your going broke and on the edge of dying . It like what is the point of a game you have no control over it like theyDraining all your money out to make you spend more .

Waste of time
Update: after realizing the only way to advance was to spend a huge amount of money, I have deleted the app. Itâs not fun if I canât even edit the way my own character/boyfriend looks like, I canât choose whether I have a boyfriend or a girlfriend, I canât choose what type of dog I have, I canât choose my own look/outfits, and I canât choose the way my house or car looks. On top of how difficult the game is without spending money, it all makes it frustrating and no fun at all.
My character is always at almost 100% happiness/health and yet I lose x amount of money each month for a decline in health and happiness. No matter which job I have I am always losing money each month because of the requirements for any job I have that costs more than I make. Even when I watch the videos every 20 seconds to earn more money it takes so long to get up to the amount of money I need to be earning to reach the requirements for the job. Then I lose my job because Iâm not making enough money. I havenât spent any real money because itâs not worth it, there needs to be improvement on how much we earn for each job, especially when weâre climbing the ladder and itâs only getting worse the higher we get.

Falls Short of Everything
Potential in advertisement but once you play it, it falls short and is boring.
You have to pick preset characters and you can not customize them at all. They arenât attractive or cute either. They stand weird and look creepy. In fact nothing in the game can be customized not even the clothing as you level it or the look of the car and house or pet.
The school is boring. You send your character to school with one click and wait. Nothing challenging or engaging at all. Even when you finish there is no celebration or graduation. Itâs point click and watch ads to speed it up. Itâs also overly expensive.
In fact you make so little in jobs and the school costs so much that your earnings is always in the negative and the only way to survive is to watch ads constantly or the cheese watch the learning ads to hurry up and finish school so your negative goes into a positive bit when it does itâs only 500 a month.
After school you have to buy these houses raise your social status and cars which all costs huge amount of money and again your in the negative and forced to watch ads just to continue.
Game comes off as a scam more then anything to force you to watch ads that gives them review. After you finish the school there is literally nothing else but wait and ads to improve your job which has no visual affects or anything.
Final day is that the game is boring and a waste unless you like watching ads.

Dont waste your time
Game sets you up to lose. You can only keep going if you start paying real cash for money on the game. Itâs a total waste of time. &â When you try to write a review on the game if you say itâs âso soâ it wonât direct you to the review section. It only will if you say itâs great. I see people are upset about the same thing from 1 year ago. The game claims they will change it. Itâs been a year and the game is still horrible so obviously you are not gonna try to change it. You all just want to take peopleâs hard earned money because you think you can. They claim the game is to let people see the difficulties from janitor to celebrity but itâs not. Name one celebrity that has to pay for their boyfriend/ husband. And you have to have them in order to get a job which is not real! Then itâs constantly taking money from you saying you need money to study when youâre not even in school or youâre taking friends out to dinner. Without giving you a choice. If Iâm trying to save money for a job i am not taking friends out to dinner. This game does not show you the difficulty of janitor to celebrity it is here to get you addicted and take your money to give you a little hope that you might win. Literally the worst game iâve ever played. Im pretty sure the people who made this have never even been a janitor before and definitely arenât celebrities so what do they even know

Still bad with money
I was playing this like a year ago and you left comment saying thatâd you fix the money problems since it gets taken away by stupid things. I lost the game this time for the same reason I lost it last time because I took my friends out for dinner and that cost 8,000 for some reason. How many friends do I have or are they just expensive. That was all my money for me to live just gone because your money management is still bizarre!!! How does that even work??? Why do you let this happen??? You have to watch ads to basically get along at this point to live and survive and Iâm not doing that. So here I am again FROM LAST YEAR TELLING YOU TO FOX YOUR GAME AND HOW MUCH MONEY IT TAKES FROM THE PLAYER FOR STUPID REASONS LIKE DINNER!!! WHY DID DINNER COST 8,000 DOLLARS?? WHERE DO I LIVE??? HOLLYWOOD? BEVERLY HILLS?? THE GOOD SIDE OF NEW YORK??? YOU SAY YOURE GONNA FIX IT BUT HONESTLY YOU JUST WANT PEOPLE TO WATCH THE DANG ADS YOU DONT PUT IN ANY YOURSELF TO MAKE THE PLAYERS FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE A CHOICE WHEN AT THE END THEY DONT

I was really enjoying this game and then ...
I spent 4$ just to have the 100k that I purchased last me less than 10 mins.. literally . Whatâs the point of this if you canât have jobs that pay you adequately ? Iâve played this twice and ending up losing everything both times . Itâs not a bad game but itâs definitely not realistic , things seem too overpriced and you would think 100k, Which is a ton of money , would last you at least an hour if not more of game play . Just frustrating, because I was looking forward to playing this but I donât think itâs something Iâm going to go back and play . Iâve played other games like this and prefer them, although this one does have better graphics. Iâd youâre investing in classes you should be able to make that money back somehow and why do we have to pay for our bf, fiancĂ© ?

Addicting, but not worth it
Iâm not going to lie, this game is incredibly addictive. However, there is a lot of it that just doesnât work well. I applaud the strategic based game that it attempts to be, but youâll need to spend real money to really âmake it.â I believe the ad money you receive should absolutely go up from 10,000 a lot sooner, considering how much ârentâ everything costs. Iâm currently at a higher level career, and yet my monthly income is still in debt because of the ârent.â My total bank is 1.1m and yet certain jobs ârequireâ 1.5 and so on. I just purchased a sports car and yet to move up to be actually getting income, I need to purchase another? Also, the âlife eventsâ tend to put you under what the ad money actually provided, so not even worth doing. Sorry but no. This game has the potential, but otherwise it isnât with it.

Endless simulator of people's lives. Awesome game. playing it, you are immersed in a fairy-tale life that is in your dreams. Beautiful graphics, user-friendly interface. There is no chapel to your hero, which you will create yourself. In the game, you do anything: meet people, make purchases, throw parties, buy houses, fall in love, create a family. You can also get a job and earn money, and much more. I think that the game is created mainly for adults, because the game contains scenes of an erotic nature. Your characters grow old and die and that the game will not be out of create a family and make heirs. In General, a complete emulation of the life of a real person. If you haven't purchased this game yet, then hurry up, because you won't have enough time to play it before you die.

Mixed Feelings
After a couple game plays I was a tad hooked but itâs not interactive enough and as everyone else said, itâs impossible to win.
I came up with a strategy but I keep losing after I do the film school because although college taking all your money is realistic, the game leaves you no bounce back. One time I saved $70,000 on the game and still lost everything after the film school. Iâve gotten as far as the end of the modeling career but the film school needs to at least cut the length of time you need it, in half. The acting classes take too long too. While youâre waiting to complete those tasks, thereâs nothing to do but keep up the health and happiness of the avatar because thereâs nothing to do while you wait other than watching your money dwindle. The heart stuff like the pet and boyfriend, the price needs to be minimum for those cuz in what world does a fish, dog, bf or whatever have to take that much money and EVERY MONTH too? No. The game has a good premise but youâll never make it to the end with those numbers and it needs some more interaction in some way.

Bad Design
They get you at first because they make it very easy to climb up the ladder financially. With the $1500 video option you can get your savings up very quickly. But once you start taking on the 36 month classes thatâs when all of the money deductions start happening one after another and the $1500 icon is no longer available to keep your sim afloat. Itâs like once you get so many classes completed and youâre on your way to making some good money in your career they design the game for you to fail and your sim dies. And I know itâs a game but itâs poorly designed in my opinion and I donât think itâs fair. Iâve made 2 new games within 3 days where my savings was $80k+ and once I got to my last few classes the $1500 icon went gray, my savings dwindling down rapidly and my sim lost everything and died from sorrow. Iâve uninstalled the game and will not be returning!!

Itâs NOT Free or 4.0
I honestly do not know how this game has a 4.0 rating. The people putting 5 stars when they donât like it need to stop because itâs increasing itâs stats. If u donât like it, rate it down. Thatâs how stars work. Either that, or they paid for the stars. U are always losing money, itâs always negative, rarely positive in ur earnings. This is not a âfreeâ game either. If u actually want ur earnings to be positive, Iâm assuming I would have to buy one of those houses or cars. Which are only temporary. I have watched more ads on this game to get ahead in one day than I have on all my other free apps in 3 months. & thatâs so I donât go into the red & lose the game. The person also loses happiness so fast. & the free ways to boost happiness & health go down as u level up, but the ones where u spend ur in game money donât. This game is not free, if the developers want money that badly, make the game available for purchase. Donât make the game so bad that itâs an awful playing experience & use false advertisement to make it seem like something better. Because all the ads I saw for this game, they made it seem like something far different than what it really is. The only thing I can honestly give them credit for, is they didnât shove that I have to buy this or that in my face every 5 mins or to rate the game every 10. But that is literally it. & that is not enough to bump the rating.
