A beginner potter looking for a match in New YorkHow to start this life in LifeSim
- Describe your single character in the text box with a name, age, job, and city.
- Edit your cast to add a best friend as a wingman or a relative who sets up blind dates.

- Plan an outing or go to happenings like karaoke and house parties, and talk in your own words.
A sample life: a single commuter in London
Clara, 28, lives in London and wants to meet someone new after a year of living alone. She sets a life goal to join a beginner pottery class and go on three coffee dates this month. Before her first weekend mixer, she changes her clothes in the character menu.
On Tuesday, a coworker invites Clara to a group text about birthday drinks at a pub. At the happening, she talks to a neighbor who reads the same novel on the morning commute. They exchange messages the next day, and he remembers their book conversation when they plan a museum outing.
A week of dating in Tokyo
In Tokyo, public safety and clean transit make evening meetups simple to organize. You can start your week on the 3D map by searching for a cafe or a public park. Many single residents in the city attend organized town-wide speed-dating mixers called machikon to expand their social circles.
By midweek, you might feel dating fatigue from repetitive small talk or worry about a match cutting off contact. On Friday, you check the map for happenings like karaoke or a house party. On Sunday, you plan an outing to a themed cafe, walk there with your date, and talk.
The people around you: friends, family, and matches
You can edit the people in your cast to build a social circle around your single life. Best friends review your dating profiles, act as wingmen at mixers, and check in by text during a date. They help you vet new matches and recover from awkward meetups.
Parents and siblings ask for updates on your dating life at family gatherings. Sometimes relatives try to set you up on a blind date with a family friend. Coworkers invite you to after-work drinks and introduce you to acquaintances from other departments.
Goals and to-do lists for a single life
You manage your dating life with long-term goals, a daily to-do list, and a calendar. Good life goals include finding a long-term partner, joining a recreational sports league, or exploring five new neighborhood bistros. In South Korea, single friends also gather on April 14 for Black Day to eat jajangmyeon noodles.
Your daily to-do list keeps track of small steps before and after a meetup. You can add tasks like visiting a barber, picking an outfit, or finding a safe public venue for coffee. Each day ends with a recap of your conversations, outings, and changes to your relationships.
