Can I take my Replika to another app?
Copy the text of the character and take screenshots of the profile. This works for any app. LifeSim is not made by Replika and is not connected to it. The import only reads what you give it.
What to copy from Replika
- Open Replika.
- Write down your Replika's name.
- If you wrote a backstory for your Replika, copy it.
- Add a line about who they are to you, for example "my best friend".
- Take a screenshot of your Replika's avatar.
Good to know about Replika
If you have no backstory, write a few lines yourself: how you met, what they like, what they do all day. LifeSim fills in the rest.
Your Replika's memories and your chats stay in Replika. In LifeSim, the person knows who they are to you, and builds new memories.
How to add the character in LifeSim
- Press Import a character on this page. It opens the LifeSim builder with the import sheet open. In the builder, the same button is next to the + in the row of people.
- Paste the text of the character, up to 8,000 characters.
- Add up to 4 screenshots (3 as a guest). LifeSim reads the text in them and draws the looks from them.
- LifeSim writes the person. Check each field, and change anything you want. Then start your life.
What comes over
- The first and last name
- The age and the gender
- Who they are to you, for example "my roommate" or "my boyfriend"
- A job
- The personality
- The past
- A life goal
- The looks. LifeSim draws a new portrait in its own style, from the avatar or the screenshots.
What stays in Replika
- Your chat history, and what the character remembers from your chats
- The voice
- The original picture. LifeSim only uses it to draw a new one.
- Example dialogues
- Lorebooks
- System prompts and instructions to the AI, as such
Up to 6 people come in with one import. A life can start with you and up to 15 other people. You can edit every field after the import.
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.
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.
Questions
Do my Replika's memories come over?
No. Memories and chats stay in Replika. Write the important facts in the text you paste, and they become part of the person's past.
Can my Replika be my partner in LifeSim?
Yes. Say who they are to you, for example "my girlfriend". LifeSim is rated 13+, so sexual content does not come over.
Does the Replika voice come over?
No. People in LifeSim talk in text.
Does my Replika look the same?
LifeSim draws a new portrait in its own style, from your screenshot. The 3D avatar does not come over.
