Can I bring a character from an AI chat app into a game?
In the LifeSim builder, press Import a character. It is next to the + in the row of people. The button below opens it directly. LifeSim reads the character and writes a person: a name, an age, a job, a past, a life goal, and who they are to you. It draws their looks in its own style. You can change every field after.
Paste a link
Copy the link of a public character and paste it. LifeSim reads the public page.
Works for: Character.AI (the share link or the profile link), PolyBuzz, Emochi, Sakura.fm, Wyvern, Joyland, Caveduck, Dopple, Poe (bots made by users, not official Poe bots), and Y/n. A Wyvern link must have the character's id, not a custom name. A Y/n link is a story, and up to 6 of its characters come in.
Add a character card file
Download the character as a PNG card, a .json card, or a .charx file, and add the file.
Works for: Chub, SillyTavern, RisuAI and RisuRealm, Agnai, Backyard AI, Pygmalion, HammerAI, and any tool that exports Tavern character cards (V1, V2, or V3).
Paste the text and add screenshots
Copy the text of the character and take screenshots of the profile. This works for any app.
Works for: Any app. It is the way for Janitor AI and SpicyChat, whose sites block LifeSim's server. It is also the way for app-only companions such as Chai, Talkie, Replika, Kindroid, Nomi, and Candy.ai.
Bring a household from a life sim game
Bring your Sims, your Paras, or your Zois. Each member of the household becomes a person in your new life, and you choose the one you play. Pets, the house, and mod traits stay behind.
- Import from The Sims 4: add the household's Tray files, a full save, or a .zip of either.
- Import from The Sims 3: add a household from your Library or Exports, a Sim from SavedSims, or a full save.
- Import from The Sims 2: add a .zip of a neighborhood folder, a Sim from SavedSims, or a .sims2pack.
- Import from The Sims: add a .FAM file, or a .zip of a UserData folder.
- Import from Paralives: add the household's folder, or a .zip of it.
- Import from inZOI: add a Zoi preset folder, or a .zip of it.

Content and privacy
LifeSim is rated 13+. Sexual content never comes over. When a character has some, the import leaves it out and tells you. When a character is built around sexual content, the import refuses it, and nothing is added.
Characters under 18 get no romantic or sexual details. Imported people pass the same checks as anything you type in the builder.
LifeSim reads the link, the file, or the text to write the people. It stores the screenshots you add on its servers.
Not an official integration
LifeSim is not connected to any of these apps or games. It is not made by Electronic Arts, Maxis, KRAFTON, or Paralives Studio. It reads the public page, the file, or the text that you give it. The names belong to their owners.
What happens in LifeSim
LifeSim is a free life sim. You pick a real city on a 3D map of Earth, and you live there. The people you import live there too. They have homes, jobs, and friends, and their week goes on while you are away.
You talk to them in your own words, and they remember what you said. It plays in the browser at play.lifesim.com, and there is an iPhone app. There are no ads and nothing to buy. Read what LifeSim is.
