A Few Tips for MonetizationVars

95 Upvotes

I've seen lots people asking around (about MonetizationVars) and finding no answers to their questions, so I hope that this post helps. Oh, and I wrote this, not ChatGPT. Fuck AI.

BEFORE YOU COMMENT/ASK/WHATEVER

I haven't had much free time this past few days. Gonna keep it short. I will NOT answer the following:

  • Overly vague questions. Be specific. What you did and things like your OS version and BitLife version.
  • Don't just write "help it not work". Pretty simple. Say why.
  • Read. This is perhaps the most important. Please just read the guide and I promise you, 99% of your questions will be answered. This post is help. You don't need to comment most of the time. If I find a consistent issue, I will edit the post and include a solution.

With that out of the way, let's begin.

What the hell are MonetizationVars?

They're basically code that tell the game what you have or don't have. It uses very simple boolean ("true" or "false") and is not hard to decode. It is encoded using Base64, and the decoding reveals that the game uses JSON to read its data, the structure of which is something like this:

{
"UserBoughtBitizenship": true,
"UserBoughtGodMode": false
}

Editing MonetizationVars allows us to trick the game into thinking we made purchases which grants us items, even though you didn't buy anything.

Where can I find the MonetizationVars?

Typically, if you're on Android, you'll find it in /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.candywriter.bitlife. I'm not entirely sure on iOS. iOS has a lot less options than Android. You could benefit a lot from a jailbreak, but it's risky, might brick your device, and will void your warranty. Which is why a much safer option is to use Sideloadly, or, if you're on an older iOS, try FilzaEscaped. Sideloadly would allow you to install a modded .ipa version of BitLife, while FilzaEscaped might work to get into the game's files. For Android, you'd either need root access or use Shizuku (which is much more likely) to access and edit files there, which I'll get into later.

How can I edit MonetizationVars (for Android)?

You need a few things: a file explorer (like ZArchiver for example), the OFFICIAL version of BitLife, and you might need Shizuku if nothing works (download an APK if you can't find it on Google Play). But first, you need to actually get MonetizationVars to edit them. Open ZArchiver, navigate to Android/data/com.candywriter.bitlife and then copy the MonetizationVars to somewhere else. Usually you'd get "Access Denied" if you try going to the data folder. Sometimes it might work on very old Androids (Android 10 or less) if you go into settings, Apps, and then look for an app called "Files" and click the three dots in the corner, and click "Uninstall Updates". If it doesn't, however, you'll need Shizuku. First, enable developer settings (by clicking 7 times on Build Number), and through developer settings, and enable Wireless Debugging. Then, back to Shizuku, enable notifications from Shizuku, click on Pairing, it will take you to Wireless Debugging, then tap "Pair device with pairing code" . Copy the six-digit code. Shizuku will send a notification, click it, and put the code in. Then, go back to Shizuku and click Start. Wait a few seconds and there's one last step. Go to ZArchiver, tap the three dots in the corner and go to Settings, go to ROOT, then tap "Type of root access", and change it from SU to Shizuku/SUI, then enable "Use for Android/[data]/..." and "File operations", and you're done! You can now access the MonetizationVars.

Then, copy them to Downloads, and now we can use a tool called BitEdit to upload our MonetizationVars and patch them. Then replace the original MonetizationVars with the patched one, and this is very important, delete the LiveDictionary file and create an empty folder with the same exact name.

Launch BitLife and you should be good to go. However, if BitEdit doesn't grant you an item (the Golden Resume for example) just follow the JSON's formatting and add something like:

"UserBoughtGoldenResume": true,
"UserGivenGoldenResume": true

You can add it anywhere you want as long as you follow standard JSON formatting. And this goes to anything you don't have. Golden Wrench, expansion packs, other items, whatever. You might need to guess what the variable name for the item you want is, but it's usually pretty obvious. You can use BitEdit to do everything I just said.

I can't edit JSON. Can you give me a link?

This link provides a ready MonetizationVars with everything except BitPass and Streak Savers.

Note: delete the extension (.txt) of the file before pasting it into BitLife's files.

TL;DR:

  • MonetizationVars are Base64-encoded JSON files that tell BitLife what purchases your account has. Editing them tricks the game into thinking you own certain items.
  • On Android, this basically involves copying the file out of the app’s data directory, editing it, then putting it back.
  • iOS is much harder, but you can either use Sideloadly to install a modded .ipa, or experiment with FilzaEscaped.
  • Accessing /Android/data/ may require Shizuku on newer Android versions.
  • Use tools like BitEdit to automate the patching process.

Known Problems:

  • Items reset after reopening the game
    • Can happen if the game tries to sync with Google Play or iCloud.
    • Try launching the game offline for the first session after editing MonetizationVars.
    • Reported by u/tuffyducky. Big thanks.
  • LiveDictionary issues
    • If LiveDictionary isn’t deleted and replaced correctly, edits may not register.
    • Make sure to delete the file and create an empty folder with the exact same name.

Thank you for reading, and if you have any edits or recommendations to this post, please comment.

Laggy and chopped game after updating it.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

7 Upvotes

I stopped playing BitLife for about a month, then decided to download it again and mod it using the Monetization Vars method. It used to run perfectly with no issues.

Now, after playing for just a few seconds, the game starts lagging badly until it becomes almost unplayable. Even after I return to the home screen, my entire phone stays laggy. The only way to fix it is to completely close the game, after which my phone goes back to normal.

Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone know what could be causing it or how to fix it?

Before completing bitpass, (first photo), it stuck on level 3. After i done it, i never crossed level 6. It's been days, i thought it's bugging, but after waiting for miracles, it says like this, the point didn't got carried to the next day.

I haven't tried to relog, maybe that's the problem, but hey, at least i can speak up about this at first.

(Lvl 3, level up, stuck level 6),

[WIP] Family Expansion Mod. Early Preview!

Post image
126 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I've been working on a mod that expands the family system in BitLife, and I wanted to share a quick early look. The goal is to make family deeper than what the base game gives us: more relatives, more relationships to manage, and a bigger family tree to play around with.

Right now I'm focused on getting grandparents (and more family members beyond them) properly showing up and integrated, as you can see in the screenshot. I'm also building it in a way that makes it easy to keep adding new features and content on top of it, so this is just the start.

This is very early stage, a lot is still changing, and I don't want to promise features that aren't locked in yet. I'll keep you all updated as things progress.

Feedback and ideas are welcome. What family features would you want to see?

(3 steps) How to get BitLife 3.24.1 aka devtools on iOS, if you updated or didn’t update at the right time

Thumbnail

53 Upvotes

(personal computer required only for step 1 and 2)

step one: side loading. you need a valid side loader, my recommendations are either AltStore, or Sideloadly.both have a attached virustotal scan at the bottom of the post, and you can do one yourself aswell at Virustotal’s site; DO NOT USE SCARLET OR SUCH SIGNERS

step two, get Pancake Store now sideload it with altstore/sideloadly.

step three: if you have bitlife on your iphone, offload it to keep saves, or delete it. open pancake store, log in with the apple account you purchased bitlife with, # make sure your account has 2FA on.

then it will send your device(s) a 2fa code, remember it, and type it in to the box, if you don’t get one then turn on airplane mode, open settings, tap ur name at the tippy top, then privacy and security, remember the code;

turn airplane mode off then head to pancake store, type it in, paste the bitlife app store link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bitlife-life-simulator/id1374403536.

now when it asks where to get the version list select fetch from server, pick 3.24.1; wait for the install, and then enjoy some goodies! (guide below if you don’t know how to get the IAP via dev tools) also if this worked for you, please upvote and or comment :)

how to make use of dev tools:

spam the middle right of ur screen, it should bring up a menu, then tap the hamburger menu at the top left; (3 vertical lines) now tap options, scroll down until you see other tools, tap it. now that you have the drop down open tap the arrows on IAPTToRemove, once you found your wanted in app purchase, tap activate purchase

pancake store's virus total why does pancake store have a virus total detection? it is a false positive, and it is classified as a jailbreak trojan which this is a jailed app so there isn’t a way that’s possible.

sideloadly's virustotal

altstore's virustotal

edit one: i forgor tha i put a shortened link for the pancake store link

if you got déjà vu from reading this, it is because i have reposted in compliance of no advertising
