Eu amo esse jogo adicionem isso por favor

I would also love to see family trips added to the game. Families could travel together, go on vacations, visit different destinations, and create memories. These trips could include special events, family bonding moments, arguments, unexpected situations, and choices that affect relationships. It would be interesting to have different experiences depending on the children’s ages, the family’s financial situation, and the relationships between family members.

Another important feature I would love to see is a more realistic system for single mothers and unexpected pregnancies. For example, I became pregnant, but the father didn’t want to acknowledge the child or take responsibility. What happens to child support in this situation? There should be an option to take the father to court and request child support, even if he refuses to recognize the child or be involved in their life.

It would also be interesting to have legal proceedings to establish paternity, determine financial responsibilities, and ensure that the child receives the support they are entitled to. The father could cooperate, deny responsibility, or challenge the case, leading to different outcomes depending on the player’s decisions.

Single mothers should also have more realistic options for raising their children, dealing with financial difficulties, balancing work and family life, and deciding whether to pursue legal action against an absent father. The game could include custody arrangements, visitation rights, disagreements over parenting, and the possibility of the father eventually becoming involved in the child’s life.

There could also be situations involving fathers who pay child support but rarely visit their children, fathers who want custody after being absent for years, and new partners who become part of the family dynamic. These situations would make the experience of parenthood much deeper and more realistic.

Overall, I believe these additions would make family life in the game much more complete, covering not only marriage and divorce but also pregnancy, single parenthood, child support, legal disputes, family vacations, and the challenges and happy moments that come with raising a family.

Un jeu prometteur

Ça fait plusieurs années que je joue aux Life Sim, alors c’est vraiment agréable de tomber sur un jeu comme celui-ci. On sent que les devs sont investis et que les mises à jour apportent de vraies améliorations.

Le jeu est agréable, assez organique dans sa façon de se jouer, et même s’il reste quelques petits bugs, ils n’ont personnellement jamais gâché mon expérience.

Je suis un peu triste de voir certains avis négatifs, donc je tenais simplement à partager mon ressenti : de mon côté, c’est un vrai plaisir d’y jouer et je trouve que le jeu mérite vraiment qu’on lui laisse sa chance.

Merci beaucoup d'aimer Play This Life, Camloyes ! Nous travaillons sans relâche pour améliorer le jeu et nous espérons que vous en parlerez à tous vos amis :)

Love the idea!

This game is great and the art style is really good! I just wish we had more time each year to do more things. It feels so difficult to develop a great relationship with your whole family without sacrificing school time. Also it feels basically impossible to find a partner that doesn’t end up leaving you as soon as you date them. I’ve played so many times and I’ve never succeeded at romantic relationships. Maybe it’s just a me issue but other than that I love the way the game looks and the updates that are being added to the game. :)

Thanks for playing Play This Life, halibcat! As with real life, there's always someone out there who truly loves you, who will never leave you, no matter what. You just have to find them first and not waste time with those who don't care. Hope this helps 😉

Some things I would like to see

The game is great and while I do enjoy the bully update, I feel like nobody ever protects me, but when I do it people protect others from me. I might just not have a strong enough relationship with people. But I feel like there should be a relationship update where other people can ask you to be their friends or we should be able to talk to classmates/coworkers before deciding to make them our friend. Parents in countries where arranged marriages are common should also try to give us a marriage, especially if we’re in a village where everyone knows everyone. I also wish fame was easier to attain and there were more ways to get famous. Modeling, doing sports, and making getting an acting job easier. It is a little annoying when you have the exact skill sets for a job and it just doesn’t show up in the job menu. I feel like at least 2 jobs should show up every year with your skill set, but this doesn’t mean they have to have good pay or good hours or even accept us. Just would make applying for the job we want easier.

Thanks for loving Play This Life, justinbiebersmaingf123! We have tried to fix the bug you mentioned in the latest update. Kindly update to see if that stops it. And an adoption update will be here soon so stay tuned! 🤓

Great example of a mobile life sim

I don’t usually write reviews, but I felt I needed to for this game, I have had this game since 2023 and can confidently say it’s only gotten better. There are a few bugs here and there, but it’s still a great game I adore the mechanics and being able to be born in nearly any country, my experiences are never the exact same and I love that!
