How to set up a life after divorce
Write your character's name, age, job, and recent divorce in the text box. Name a real city in that same text, and the game puts you there. Edit the other people in your cast to add your ex-spouse, your children, or a supportive sibling.
Set life goals like making three new friends or reclaiming an old hobby. Add daily errands to your to-do list, like closing a joint bank account or buying a bookshelf. Use your calendar to track custody hand-offs and weekend plans.
A sample life: starting over in Austin
David, 38, moves into a solo place in Austin after his divorce. On Saturday, he sets a to-do item to mount a curtain rod and assemble a bookshelf alone. He uses place search to find a local hardware store and walks there on the 3D map.
He makes three trips to the store and chats with the clerk in his own words. The clerk remembers him on the third visit and invites him to a group text for a running club. By Sunday night, David's daily recap shows a new friend and a completed goal.
A week of solo living in Tokyo
In Tokyo, the ohitorisama lifestyle makes solo living normal. On Monday, you talk to a coworker and an HR representative about updating your emergency contact and tax withholding. After work, you search the map for a single-booth restaurant or a 24-hour convenience store for a one-person meal.
On Wednesday, your ex-spouse texts you about a mix-up on the custody calendar. You both show up at a school event with identical store-bought cupcakes and talk it out in person. On Saturday, you find an old gift certificate and take yourself to a nice restaurant alone.
What life after divorce is like in the real world
Daily life often starts with unpacking boxes or rearranging rooms where a partner's things used to be. One person now handles cooking for one, fixing a leaky faucet, and retitling car registrations. Worries include a quiet home at night, a single budget, and awkwardness at events for couples.
Joys include peaceful mornings, full control of the television remote, and sleeping diagonally across the bed. Legal steps vary by place. England and Wales use a Conditional Order and a Final Order, while Germany requires a separation year called Trennungsjahr.
Where to live this life
Stockholm has a high concentration of single-person households, studio apartments, and a culture where dining alone is normal. Montreal is a walkable city with many renters, cafes, and festivals where you can socialize without a car. Melbourne offers pedestrian laneways, community sports clubs, and hobby groups for new weekend routines.
Lisbon is a sunny coastal city with outdoor plazas and social meetups outside a quiet home. Austin offers dog parks, running clubs, and live music venues to build a new friend group. Name any of these cities in your prompt to start on their real streets.
