USA life simulator

Daily life in the United States varies between dense cities with subways and suburbs built around personal cars. Most people work a 40-hour week, eat dinner in the evening, and spend weekends on errands or youth sports. In LifeSim, you can live in any real American town or city on a 3D map.

Several games focus on specific parts of American life. Big Ambitions lets you rent storefronts and build a business in New York City. American Life Simulator focuses on doing neighborhood jobs and buying and renting out suburban houses. If you want to drive freight across scaled states, American Truck Simulator does that best.

Story games like Life is Strange and Night in the Woods follow small-town routines in Oregon and Pennsylvania. LifeSim works differently because it uses a real 3D map of every city in the United States. There are no driving controls or business menus, so you focus on talking to people in your own words.

A standard full-time job runs Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Retail, healthcare, and hospitality workers often work evening and weekend shifts. Many families live in suburban single-family homes or city apartments, and weekends involve youth soccer or Little League baseball.

Weekday breakfasts are quick bagels or cereal, while dinner is the main meal between 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM. People eat hamburgers, pizza, Tex-Mex tacos, or barbecue at diners and restaurants, where leaving a tip is a custom. Major holidays include Thanksgiving in November with roast turkey, Independence Day on July 4th, and Halloween on October 31st.

Maya, 23, moves into an apartment in Chicago to work as a barista. She writes her job and neighborhood into her character text, and sets a goal to make three local friends. In her first week, she searches the 3D map for a lakeside park and walks there after her shift.

At the park, she meets a neighbor and chats with him in her own words. He remembers the talk, and a few days later he texts her an invite to a birthday drinks happening. By week four, Maya has a group text thread with her coworkers, and they plan an outing for pizza.

Schooling typically starts around age 5 with Kindergarten and runs through 12th grade at age 18, while compulsory attendance ages vary by state. Public schools feature yellow buses, hallway lockers, letter grades from A to F, after-school sports, and the Prom dance. After high school, students attend two-year community colleges or four-year universities, where many live in campus dormitories.

Common industries include healthcare, retail, software, finance, education, hospitality, and manufacturing. In LifeSim, you can start at any age and write any school or job into your character prompt. The people around you read that story and react to your role when you talk to them.
