Is there a game where you can live in Portland, Oregon?

Portland life simulator

Yes. LifeSim puts you in the real Portland, Oregon, on a 3D map of the real streets. Write "Portland, Oregon" in your character text so the game picks the right city. The people there have jobs, homes, and friends, and they remember you. It is free and runs in the browser.
