Bitlife

Starting Your Life
Begin by creating a character. You’re randomly assigned a name, gender, nationality, and some initial characteristics (happiness, health, smarts, and looks).
You can re-roll for different stats or start with what you get.
2. Making Choices Each Year
Each “year” in the game represents one year in your character’s life.
You start as a baby and have few choices initially, but as you age, you get options related to schooling, friendships, and family life.
When you’re old enough, you’ll have more options, like getting a job, dating, or pursuing education.
3. Navigating School and Education
Go through elementary, middle, and high school. You can study hard to improve your “smarts” stat, making it easier to get scholarships or enter prestigious universities.
After high school, you’ll have the option to attend university, start working, or try unique paths, like enlisting in the military.
4. Choosing a Career Path
Careers are diverse: you can become a doctor, lawyer, chef, entertainer, or even a criminal!
Some careers have specific requirements. For example, becoming a doctor requires a medical degree, so your character will need to go to university and medical school.
Job performance, age, and reputation can influence promotions and salary increases.
5. Relationships and Family
Relationships are a big part of BitLife. You can interact with family members, find friends, date, and get married.
Choices in relationships affect happiness. Good relationships increase it, while bad ones can drain it.
You can also have children and raise a family, impacting your character’s story arc.
6. Managing Health, Wealth, and Happiness
Your character’s health, happiness, smarts, and looks can impact their life quality. Visiting the gym, going to the doctor, and taking vacations can keep these in good shape.
Managing finances is essential if you want to live comfortably or even retire early. Budget wisely, avoid unnecessary purchases, and look for investment options.
7. Random Events and Surprises
Life in BitLife is full of surprises, like winning the lottery, inheriting money, facing legal troubles, or random health crises.
Your responses to these events will shape your character’s life.
8. Achievements and Challenges
BitLife also offers achievements and challenges, like living a certain lifestyle, reaching a certain wealth level, or having a large family. Completing these can give a sense of accomplishment.
BitLife is all about choices and seeing how they shape your character’s life. You can take a traditional path or explore a wild, unconventional lifestyle.
