Debuted in 2018, the mobile app BitLife – Life Simulator<\/em><\/strong> has a rating of at least 4 out of 5 stars in both the iOS App Store and the Google Play Store. Though it doesn\u2019t seem like much on the surface, BitLife<\/em> supplies its players with hours of gameplay, along with frequently updated challenges for players to complete if they so choose. BitLife<\/em> is purely text-based, so its players aren\u2019t able to see their person digitally rendered or customize a house like in The Sims<\/em><\/a>, but the possibilities that BitLife<\/em> gives its players more than makes up for the missing \u201cgraphic\u201d component of the game.<\/p>\n

Referred to as BitLifeApp on social media, many of its players will screenshot and share the random occurrences that plague their BitLife<\/em> character. Some of these events can positively affect the character\u2019s life, but other times they can cause a lot of chaos. Unlike The Sims<\/em> franchise, especially The Sims 4<\/em>, children need to play this mobile game with caution. While both games never show anything graphically explicit, BitLife<\/em> can get a bit more adult with its themes, while players who want to add that kind of content to The Sims<\/em> must use mods<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Players can only control one character at a time, but by the time BitLife<\/em> randomly generates the character, it\u2019s really not an issue because there\u2019s so much to do with this one character. BitLife<\/em> will provide the player with a randomly generated country, name, and backstory (if the character is the child of a single-parent or in a dual-parent household, possibly in a divorced situation, or even an orphan) so the player gets a sense of who the character is right off the bat.<\/p>\n

There are four bars that appear toward the bottom of the screen that tracks the character\u2019s happiness<\/a>, health, smarts, and looks. These will all fluctuate throughout the game, especially if the character starts to suffer from high blood pressure from stress, or maybe they get into an accident that causes their \u201cSmarts\u201d to go down. Unlike The Sims 4<\/em>, being a child in BitLife<\/em> does not mean that the character is safe from death. Freak accidents can kill a character and result in a \u201cGame Over\u201d very quickly.<\/p>\n

When BitLife<\/em> characters are of age, they\u2019ll begin attending school, which could be a public or private institution. They can make friends, join after-school activities, or even get a part-time job<\/a> (once they\u2019re of age) to make some extra money. If they\u2019ve done well enough in their studies, they can move on to a university or jump straight into the workforce\u2014or choose not to work at all. It\u2019s all up to the player and how they want their character\u2019s life to go.<\/p>\n

However, as mentioned before, sometimes BitLife<\/em> will throw curveballs that players don\u2019t prepare for. Some of them can be beneficial, but others can really take a toll on the character\u2019s life. One wrong move could land the player\u2019s character in prison<\/a> for a few years or result in a life sentence. This doesn\u2019t even scratch the surface of buying things like cars, jewelry, or even real estate within the game.<\/p>\n

BitLife<\/em> also offers the opportunity for players to become \u201cBitizens\u201d after a one time payment, but being a Bitizen removes ads, opens up more slots for pets, and unlimited generations, among other things. The developer, Candywriter, also introduced \u201cGod Mode,\u201d which is a separate fee but allows players to edit any character and adjust their looks and temperament accordingly.<\/p>\n

As a franchise, The Sims<\/em> has veered away from broaching adult topics<\/a>, but it wasn\u2019t always that way. Earlier Sims<\/em> games were full of tongue-in-cheek references and hints at more mature content, especially things like somewhat promiscuous looking maid outfits or even the strippers that would pop out of giant birthday cakes in The Sims: House Party<\/em>. BitLife<\/em>, on the other hand, isn\u2019t very tongue-in-cheek about anything, and that\u2019s what makes it such a realistic and interesting life simulator.<\/p>\n

Players\u2019 characters, though they can only control one at a time, can deal with real-life issues like drug addiction, alcohol addiction, or even a gambling addiction<\/a>. They can live with these issues or seek help by going to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings or by attending an in-patient rehab. Players cannot go with them, but a text box will pop up that confirms the character has attended and if it\u2019s \u201ccured\u201d the addiction or not. The last part isn\u2019t exactly realistic, but there has to be some tangible payoff for players.<\/p>\n

BitLife<\/em> also has a fame tracker, but players must have their character follow a specific route to end up famous. One of the more recent updates opened up the opportunity for characters to become famous musicians and singers<\/a> instead of just acting. Once famous, players can make their characters participate in TV ads, write a book, appear in interviews, and pose for magazines to maintain their fame.<\/p>\n

There are also tons of achievements in BitLife<\/em> that players can work towards with any given character, though their smarts and looks will factor into a lot of the gameplay. For example, players will find it difficult to become popular on social media<\/a> in the game if their character has a low looks bar. Players can also complete \u201cRibbons\u201d in BitLife, with examples being \u201cHero,\u201d \u201cGeriatric,\u201d or even \u201cJailbird.\u201d<\/p>\n

The countries that player\u2019s characters live in are true-to-life as well and not so much fictionalized ideals like The Sims<\/em>. If a character is part of the LGBTQ community<\/a> and lives in a country where it\u2019s illegal to be part of that community, the game will pop up with a message saying that a character cannot marry their partner because it\u2019s illegal there. But, never fear, because players can have their characters emigrate to a place where it is accepted, and more often than not the partner will agree to move with the character.<\/p>\n

BitLife<\/em> is such a rich life simulator, and a great choice for fans of The Sims<\/em> who like to dabble in more mature themes at times. Though it\u2019s not as graphically in-depth as The Sims<\/em><\/a>, content-wise BitLife<\/em> will leave players feeling like there\u2019s always more to be done.<\/p>\n

BitLife – Life Simulator<\/em><\/strong> is available now on the Google Play Store and iOS App Store.<\/p>\n
