Sacramento life simulator

Sacramento sits at the meeting point of the Sacramento River and the American River in Northern California. Residents call it the City of Trees and live at a relaxed pace under shaded streets. Daily life includes cycling along the rivers, visiting year-round farmers markets, and eating on outdoor patios.

Sacramento is known as America's Farm-to-Fork Capital because of the surrounding agricultural valley. Local dishes use almonds, tomatoes, and Delta pears. You can search the map for Gunther's Ice Cream on Franklin Boulevard, known for its 50/50 Fruit Freeze. You can also look for Merlino's Orange Freeze or Parmesan-dusted crispy tacos from Jimboy's Tacos.

On Saturdays, residents visit the Midtown Farmers Market along 20th Street. On Sundays, a large farmers market sets up underneath the W-X Freeway. For nights out, you can invite friends to the R Street Corridor to see converted warehouses with bars and restaurants. You can also plan an outing to J Street, K Street, or Downtown Commons near the arena.

The map in LifeSim shows weather as your days pass. Summers in the Central Valley are long, hot, and dry with strong sunshine. In the evening, the Delta Breeze blows inland from the San Francisco Bay and cools the streets. This makes summer nights good for outdoor patio dining or a house party happening on the map.

Autumn starts warm and turns crisp, bringing fall colors to the dense tree canopy. Winter is cool and damp with most of the yearly rain and thick, low-lying Tule Fog. Spring is mild, sunny, and green, with blooming fruit trees along the Jedediah Smith Memorial Trail.

Maya, 28, starts a life in Midtown as a registered nurse at Sutter Health. She sets two life goals: make close friends on the Grid and attend a Second Saturday art walk. In her first week, she searches for an independent coffee roaster on J Street before her shifts.

The barista remembers Maya's name and texts her about a gallery opening on Saturday. Maya invites the barista and a coworker from the hospital on an outing to the R Street Corridor. They walk there together on the 3D map and talk as a group.

In week three, a birthday drinks happening appears on K Street, and Maya joins. At the end of each day, she reads a recap of her moments, and her new friends remember her words.

You can use place search to find real landmarks across the city. Walk to the Old Sacramento Waterfront to see the historic district along the Sacramento River. While there, find the California State Railroad Museum or walk across the gold-painted Tower Bridge. Near Downtown, you can visit the Crocker Art Museum or the Golden 1 Center.

In Midtown, search for Sutter's Fort State Historic Park and meet friends outside the walls. South of downtown, plan a group outing to William Land Regional Park. You can walk past the entrances to the Sacramento Zoo, Fairytale Town, and Funderland Amusement Park.
