A tenant in Tokyo who dines out solo

How to start this life in LifeSim

Describe your character in the text box, including their age, job, and that they live alone.
Name a real city like Tokyo, Vienna, or Montreal in the text to start on that city's 3D map.
Edit your cast to add a landlord, a next-door neighbor, or an emergency contact.
Use place search to find a café, pharmacy, or park, and talk to regulars in your own words.

How to set up a solo life

Write your character's name, age, job, and city into the text box. State that you live alone in your own apartment. You can edit the cast around you to add a landlord, a quiet neighbor across the hall, or a best friend who lives nearby.

When you live alone, you handle every chore, from grocery shopping and portion control to scheduling repairs. Put these tasks on your daily to-do list and calendar. You can set life goals, such as eating at a new neighborhood restaurant every Friday night or trading spare keys with a neighbor.

A week of living alone in Tokyo

Tokyo supports solo living, known as ohitorisama culture, with single-counter dining and 24-hour convenience stores. On weekdays, you can use place search to find a local café or shop on the 3D map. You talk to the barista or shopkeeper in your own words, and they remember your past visits.

If you catch a sudden cold, nobody is in the house to fetch medicine for you. You can walk to a corner pharmacy on the map and text a coworker about your sick day. On the weekend, you have full control over your sleep schedule and when to host guests. You can spend Saturday reading at a park, or join a happening on the map like a house party.

A sample first month in Montreal

Clara, 28, moves into a studio apartment in the Le Plateau-Mont-Royal neighborhood of Montreal. She sets a life goal to build a local support network and try four solo dinners in her first month. She adds weekly market trips and trash days to her calendar.

During her second week, Clara locks herself out on a rainy evening. She knocks on the door of her neighbor, Marc, and they talk in open text chat. The next day, she adds a step to her to-do list to exchange spare apartment keys with him. By Friday, Marc texts her on his own to invite her to a friend's birthday drinks down the street.

How other games handle living alone

Several games focus on the interior part of solo life that LifeSim does not have. The Sims 4: City Living lets you furnish a San Myshuno starter apartment, pay rent, and deal with noisy neighbors. Unpacking tells a story where you arrange a woman's belongings in her own solo living space.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons puts you alone on an island to build and furnish a personal home near animal villagers. BitLife handles solo adulthood through text menus where you buy real estate and manage a career. LifeSim skips interiors and bills, and instead puts you on a real Earth map with neighbors who remember what you say.
