Victorious life simulator
Nickelodeon has not released a daily routine simulator for this television series. However, LifeSim lets you start a performing arts story in the real Los Angeles. You write a short description of an actor or a singer, and the engine drops them onto a 3D street map. The artificial intelligence residents hold jobs, follow schedules, and chat with you.
A new vocal studentUnofficial and fan-made. LifeSim is not affiliated with or endorsed by Nickelodeon. You play original characters inspired by Victorious, not the official story.
The real Hollywood behind the arts school
The television series follows teenagers at a fictional performing-arts high school named Hollywood Arts. The creators filmed the sitcom in Los Angeles, California, United States. They used a studio named Nickelodeon on Sunset in Hollywood for the indoor scenes. The crew filmed the exterior shots of the campus at Burbank High School.
LifeSim places your student character directly into this real city. You can search the 3D map for famous landmarks from the entertainment industry. You can walk your character past the TCL Chinese Theatre on a sunny afternoon. You can also look for celebrity names on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
A student obsessed with music can spend time at real local spots. You can plan a group outing to Amoeba Music Hollywood with your acting friends. There, you can pretend to browse records and pop culture memorabilia. You can also visit the Griffith Observatory on a Friday afternoon for city views.
Who you can be
A new performing-arts student
Move to Los Angeles and navigate the social scene of a demanding creative school. Check your daily calendar for vocal practice and make friends with other singers.
An ambitious pop singer
Focus your time on auditions, stage confidence, and songwriting sessions. Look for open mic events on the 3D map of Hollywood and invite friends to watch.
A dramatic theater actor
Chase lead roles in local stage plays and practice dramatic classroom exercises. The local residents remember your bold fashion choices and intense acting methods.
A quiet music producer
Arrange music and write lyrics to support the loud performers in your friend group. Plan group walks to Amoeba Music Hollywood to browse for pop culture finds.
An eccentric comedy performer
Look for weird physical comedy assignments and oddball creative projects. Start a group text thread with your friends and send them strange jokes.
A sample life: finding a voice in Los Angeles
Tyler, 15, transfers to a performing arts school in Los Angeles. He plays the keyboard but feels nervous about singing in front of people. He adds a daily vocal warmup to his to-do list. He sets a life goal to perform an original song by the end of the year. He checks his calendar every morning to track his progress.
One afternoon, a karaoke happening appears on the map near Ovation Hollywood. Tyler walks there and meets a confident senior named Naomi. They chat about music production and share text numbers. Over the next week, she texts him on her own to ask about his new lyrics. Tyler replies with his ideas, and they start a group text thread.
LifeSim characters keep a memory of what you say to them. When Tyler finally sings his original song at a local cafe, Naomi remembers his early nerves. She sends him a message to congratulate him on his recent vocal progress. This successful performance improves his health and mood, and his daily recap shows a boost in his confidence.
Performing arts and student life in the city
Los Angeles operates as a major hub for the acting and music industries. Teens who want to perform often move there to take classes and audition for roles. The simulation map displays outdoor city streets rather than the inside of a classroom. You write your own school stories through your personal goals and daily chats.
Your character can practice television scripts in a public park or sing at a local venue. The people in the city hold their own jobs, homes, and daily routines. A music producer might walk past while you practice a dance routine on the sidewalk. You can type out an introduction and see how they react to your ambition.
You can customize how your student looks for different performances. The wardrobe menu lets you change clothes and add emotes to match your mood. On a computer, the Sketch tool allows you to draw directly on your character. You might draw dramatic stage makeup for a play or a band logo for a concert.
Comparing the official Hollywood Arts games
Nickelodeon released three officially licensed video games during the original run of the series. These console titles focus on rhythm challenges, mini-games, and school adventures with the main cast. They guide players through specific stories rather than an open daily simulation. None of them offer an open-ended schedule in a real geographic location.
In Victorious: Time to Shine, players act, sing, and dance in a Hollywood Arts production. Victorious: Hollywood Arts Debut for the Nintendo DS lets players explore the campus and join small adventures. Victorious: Taking the Lead features rhythm and dance competitions for the main role. These titles give fans a specific experience with the television cast.
LifeSim takes a very different approach to a performing arts game. You do not play through rhythm games or complete official television storylines. Instead, you create an original student and guide their everyday choices. You type out your own dialogue and manage your time in the modern era of Los Angeles.
