Vet Simulator: Play a Veterinarian in a Real City

A sample life: an emergency vet in New York

Elena, 31, works the night shift as an emergency vet in New York City. She uses place search to walk to the Stephen & Christine Schwarzman Animal Medical Center on the Upper East Side. Her daily to-do list includes finishing her SOAP notes and checking on a coworker.

One night, a teenager texts Elena about an injured stray cat and has no money to pay. Elena talks to the teen in her own words and agrees to treat the cat quietly. Her clinic manager finds out and brings it up in a tense chat the next day. The manager remembers Elena's choice for weeks.

On her day off, Elena plans an outing with two vet friends to Central Park. They walk there together on the 3D map and talk as a group to fight off compassion fatigue.

How to become a vet in LifeSim

LifeSim has no career ladder, promotions, or skill bars. You do not play surgery mini-games, and there is no pet system. Instead, you write your job into the character box at the start, and animals live in your story.

You can start as a veterinary student in London or a senior clinic owner in Toronto. You edit your cast to add a strict boss, a loyal vet tech, or worried pet owners. Your cash, health, and relationships change based on your daily chats and activities.

What real veterinarians do and how they train

General practice vets split their day between morning surgeries, like spays and dental cleanings, and afternoon wellness exams. They use stethoscopes, otoscopes, ultrasound probes, and digital X-ray machines. Vets use clinical shorthand like BAR for Bright, Alert, Responsive, and NPO for fasting a patient before surgery.

In the United Kingdom, students take a five-year undergraduate veterinary degree and register with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. In Canada, students complete pre-veterinary university study, earn a four-year DVM degree, and pass the NAVLE.

The job has hard parts, including physical hazards, late nights typing medical charts, and performing euthanasia. Many vets also face stress when owners cannot afford life-saving care. The good parts include acting as a medical detective and building lifelong bonds with local families.

Real cities for a vet life

New York City is home to the Schwarzman Animal Medical Center, a 24/7 Level 1 veterinary trauma center. In London, you can base your story near the Royal Veterinary College in Camden Town, founded in 1791. Its Beaumont Sainsbury Animal Hospital treats pets alongside urban charity clinics like the RSPCA.

You can also start a life in Sacramento and work in nearby Davis at the UC Davis teaching hospital. If you choose Toronto, you must register with the College of Veterinarians of Ontario after graduating in nearby Guelph. You can also play a rural farm vet near Leeds and visit the Yorkshire towns where James Herriot practiced.
