New roommates in BerlinHow to start this life in LifeSim
- Describe your character, your best friend, and your city in the text box to start on the 3D map.

Real cities for a best friend story
Name any city in your character prompt to start on a real 3D map. Berlin suits roommates because of its Wohngemeinschaft flat-sharing culture and big parks like Tempelhofer Feld. In Montreal, friends often share multi-bedroom walk-up apartments called plexes and go to free summer street festivals.
Other cities fit evening hangouts and outdoor plans. Melbourne has pedestrian laneways, late-night cafes, and trivia pubs for spontaneous catch-ups. In Tokyo, friends meet at izakayas and karaoke rooms outside their small apartments, while Madrid centers on evening tapas at outdoor terrazas.
If you prefer outdoor activities, pick Austin. You can use place search to find food truck parks, live music venues, or spots along Lady Bird Lake.
A sample first week in Berlin
Lukas, 24, lives in Berlin, Germany, and shares a flat with his childhood best friend, Jonas. On Monday, Lukas uses the cast editor to make sure Jonas works at a local bakery. While Lukas walks down the street, Jonas texts him to complain about an early shift and a broken oven.
On Wednesday, Lukas searches the map for Tempelhofer Feld and plans an outing there. He invites Jonas and two mutual friends to walk to the park together and talk as a group. On Friday night, a karaoke happening appears on the map, and the pair goes together to end the week.
Goals and to-do lists for close friends
You can use your daily to-do list to play out small errands and shared logistics. Add tasks like grocery shopping together, dropping off a spare set of house keys, or watering your friend's plants. You can also text your work spouse during office hours to get through a dull shift.
Longer life goals help shape your story over the years. You might set a goal to launch a weekend market stall with your best friend or save cash for a trip. As characters age, your goals can shift to visiting your friend's kids as an honorary aunt or uncle.
Turning points in a long friendship
Living together can test a friendship. You can play out the roommate trial, where two lifelong friends discover opposite habits about dishes and sleep schedules. Because characters remember past chats, an argument in the morning can still affect your group texts that night.
Major life changes also bring new drama to your calendar. You might deal with scheduling conflicts when a friend gets a new romantic partner or a busy job. If a friend faces a sudden breakup, you can step in as their companion for a planned vacation.

Questions
Can I play this best friend simulator with a real friend?
No. LifeSim has no multiplayer mode. Your best friend is a character in the world who texts you, remembers your chats, and joins your outings.
Can we decorate an apartment together?
No. Buildings show from the outside only, and there are no interiors, rooms, or furniture. You act out your shared home life through text chats and daily routines.
How do you create a best friend in the game?
Write about your best friend in your starting character text, or edit the people in your cast after you start. You can give them a name, a job, and a shared history.
How do roommates split apartment leases in different countries?
In Germany, friends in a Wohngemeinschaft often have one main tenant who writes subleases for the others. In the United Kingdom, roommates often sign a joint tenancy agreement and share legal responsibility for the rent.
Do characters remember past conversations?
Yes. People keep a journal of past events and use their recent memories when they talk to you. If you share good news or have a fight, your best friend remembers it days later.
