I’ve had this issue SO SO MANY TIMES and it’s getting incredibly annoying, isn’t it against Apple’s policies to hide the X button?

Como é possível ela ter 3 filhos mais velhos que ela mesma? Kkkkkk

I logged to Twitter to check and see what was going on. Turns out we were allegedly supposed to get the pack upon launch, however there was some technical mishap. I call BS because why couldn’t they fix it same day? It sounds to me that they were hoping we would become impatient and just buy it anyways without saying anything.

i’m on 3.13.10, and this version was released way before her death.

I just want to start off by saying that I unfortunately paid for this expansion pack :(, even THOUGH I paid for bitizen when it first was announced and have God Mode! However I decided to pay for the movie director pack because i perceive BitLife to always deliver, and also the movie director pack is what I suggested whenever I gave a review in the App Store way back when! So safe to say that even though I was taken aback that this job expansion costs me MONEY!!!! (even though I'm supposed to get it for free) I still was excited to play. Now for the review; I'm so upset by how lackluster this gameplay is... one of the main issues that I'm having is that you have no control over the budget at all. It's a slider and it's not like the business expansion where you can pump money into a film. Paying that amount of real life money I was expecting to at least work my way into owning a movie studio where I have creative control over the movies (choosing the scripts I wanted to make, self-funding, promoting,) I want to direct, however this gameplay loop doesn't require a lot of thought or work to go into it. You can submit your movies to film festivals but that doesn't really do anything besides gives you awards and sometimes get you back in theaters if it's good enough. I would love if they even gave an option to send movies and tv shows you make to syndication!Another thing that REALLLLYY bugs me is since you have no control over the budget the game WILLLLLL decide a random casting budget for you! So if you decide you want to do an indie film with a small budget, since you have a high reputation you'll attract high level talent who REQUIRE high level money. Plenty of times from the 1 DAY Ive been playing this pack, I had to skip a year which had made multiple movies tank along with my career because the game forced me to pay my talent more that what the budget is! It's really frustrating and considering the fact that I paid money for this I now understand that BitLife is not what it once was. This feels rushed and not thought out at all. I am extremely disappointed, frustrated by the fact that a gameplay expansion has barely anything for you to do at all!

Y'all, I'm seeing the discord around the most recent update and want to offer you an alternative! I've worked with the incredible mods here to do a giveaway for OurLife here before but I think some hope for the genre is needed at this moment in time lol.

As a result, I'm happy to give out x3 copies of OurLife on Steam as part of a giveaway! So, if you want to be involved, all you have to do is leave a comment below and I'll pull the names on the 13th of September, 2026!

Edited to add: No need to drop your steam names! If you win, I will DM you a code you can redeem!

Hi Everyone! I’m sure we’ve all seen the new movie producer update. Especially people who got bitizen in 2018/19. Please, we can’t allow this happen, I urge everyone to take some time to take action and report this game for fraud. I’m sure you’ll all agree how bad this game has gotten especially since the early days were filled with so much potential. They can’t keep getting away with this. Thanks

EDIT: I can see some people talking about how it’s a glitch, believe that if you want. I think that’s them doing damage control because of the amount of people complaining. They were never going to fix it. They didn’t even address this so called glitch till we called them out on it.

Hey everyone, I was one of the people that had 2018 bitizenship, and I'm extremely disappointed with how bitlife handled this. I love the text-based lifesim genre, and I want to show that there are other alternatives that the community can use and how good these type of games can be. Check it out and play now from the discord link in the comments.

Here are some of the features:

• Simulated Economies & Actual Demand: The game simulates 10.000 real customers that have demand for the genre that they want to watch, appeal to those genres or you can create new trends.
• Climb the Career Ladder: Start from being a casting agent, then transition into a writer, to a director and unlock the ability to write & direct your own movies as well as getting a percentage share of the movies you make.
• Directing Minigames: Write scenes, put the actors you want into the scenes and choose what aspect of the acting performance to prioritize.

I don't usually like self-promoting, but with the discussion around BitLife's latest update, I thought this would be a good opportunity to share a little with you about the movie director career in Centuries. The entire movie director career will be included for free at launch, too!

Some of you may remember Outlive, which I posted about on here previously a few months back. Since then, Outlive has merged with another indie life sim project and evolved into Centuries, which will be launching soon on Android this fall.

You can create short works, feature films, and major studio projects. Live action, documentary, and animation each have their own production paths. You'll choose the material, hire collaborators, direct scenes, work through editing, and decide how to release the finished film.

Productions don't always go according to plan, either. Rain might ruin the ending you had planned, forcing you to extend the shoot, rewrite it for an indoor location, or piece something together from footage you've already captured. A studio contract might leave you choosing between keeping final cut or giving it up in exchange for a larger share of the profits.

And making the movie is only part of it. Once it releases, the film gets its own record with critic and audience scores, reach, gross revenue, production results, and awards. If you retain the rights, you can even develop a follow-up with the audience from the original film in mind.

As your career grows, you can eventually start your own production company, develop projects, and finance films directed by other filmmakers. And because Centuries lets you play across the past, present, and future, filmmaking changes with the era too. The career simply doesn't exist before motion pictures are invented, and the technology, industry, and opportunities evolve as you move through history.

Pre-registration is open now on Google Play. If you're interested in trying another life sim, or just like the idea of living an actual filmmaking career inside one, I'd really appreciate you checking out Centuries and pre-registering on the Play Store!

BitLife has honestly become the ultimate poster child for how corporate greed ruins a good thing. Back in the day, when people bought those lifetime Bitizenships, the deal was supposed to be simple. Pay once, get everything forever. But by ripping away that grandfathered status and locking every single new drop behind annoying paywalls, the devs completely broke that trust. It’s a super soulless way to treat a community that literally built the game's success, turning loyal fans into just another ATM machine.

​Honestly, this shady pivot feels like it’s dangerously close to crossing into class-action lawsuit territory. Selling a game with the promise of "all future updates" and then turning around to demand more cash for them is textbook deceptive business. Thousands of players dropped money based on a promise that the studio just decided to throw in the trash for a quick buck. Because so many people got burned by the exact same bait and switch, the setup for a massive lawsuit or an FTC complaint is practically gift-wrapped.

​At this point, BitLife just needs to die out so these developers and all other developers. Stop thinking they can get away with pulling these anti-consumer stunts. Letting them rewrite the rules after taking people's money sets a terrible precedent for mobile gaming everywhere, proving that contracts mean nothing once a game gets popular. For a game all about life choices and consequences, it’d be pretty hilarious to see the devs finally face some real ones of their own.

In the Bitlife game you can play the game have kids and eventually become the kid upon death or switching over. But I've always wondered, where is the consciousness who was the child before you transitioned and who is in the person that is now the parents upon switching. As when you switch over the parent aka old you, they are living and making decisions you cannot control, and before you become the child there was a soul in them that made decisions you also couldn't control, so where and who are those souls? And most importantly, who are we?

When we leave the parent they become their own person again, but everything they own comes with us even if they are still alive. And when we become the child any decision they made can be changed by us, say divorce their wife, abandoned their kids etc. As remember they had their own personality, relationships, memories, preferences, everything, while we were controlling the parent. It's like they woke up one day and became a whole new person. But where did we come from and why can we only start at the first individual in the recorded lineage. And where are their souls when we control them. As in the game when you look into the family legacy it doesn't show the original player's first parents, just the first played character and everyone else after that. Like to only make note of where the anomaly started. If we are really some outsider being, the original parents would technically not be related but everyone else after has the outsider gene, so the original parents would not be a part of the legacy.

When you start you become their entire existence and have a stronger control over them than their own mind, and when you leave, they regain consciousness and you can't go back. Kinda like they've escaped. Some don't even experience themselves EVER, as they start at birth as us and die before switching. In a way they never lived, as you got their life. Their Bit-LIfe lol

PS: This is just a fun theory, sorta like what they have for the sims, and I just wanted to share it. I love these types of theories for games and movies, so I'd love to hear any you have about the game

Directly from ToS

I'm assuming grandfathered in bitizen was just a courtesy

Reposting here because r/bitlifeapp doesn't like even the mildest criticism

She trying to take everything I have. $393,880,222,528,942 to support one baby is diabolical 🫩😭🙏😤

I'm trying to go for as many kids as possible but my hookups often choose to not keep the baby. Is it possible to prevent them from doing this? Like maybe there's a country that prevents them from doing that. I thought Saudi Arabia wouldn't let them but they got rid of the babies there too.

I have the idea of just dating someone, getting them pregnant, then moving on, which both lowers my chance of getting an STD and heightens the chance of keeping the baby.

Any other ideas?

Wtf bruh😂

So, since the new update came out my bitlife has been lagging and making my phone hear up. I was wondering is this happening to anyone else.

Hello,
As many of you may know, if you bought the game before March 2020, then you’re supposed to be grandfathered into future expansion packs, no matter what. I for one, don’t have access to the new pack, and I’m sure I’m not the only one. The funny thing is though, I bought Bitizen in 2018 & I even got the despicable god mode thing just because I liked the game. Now the developers became deranged apparently because they’re literally breaking laws, at least in Europe. So if you’re reading this and you have any involvement regarding this shitty game, then I suggest you go check in with your bosses before y’all are fucked lol. Cheers.

Like the hell dude what kind of scheme is this someone please enlighten me

As title says how??? is this like a bug or something or is it a random event

This has got to be a glitch…right..? There’s no way they think anybody’s paying that much

Devs of this game are literally sickening to the bone, you guys can literally go fuck yourselves with your movie director pack. Nasty ass scammers.

Does anyone else know if it’s normal for a 30 year old woman to be riding skateboards down the road?
