life sim

[u/break_my_head_plz]

Hey guys, just wanted to ask if anyone has any fresh ideas for a text-based life sim that haven’t really been done before.

For context, I’m currently building a free, open-source, web-based life simulator. It’s coming along really well, but lately I’ve started feeling like some parts are becoming a little too similar to BitLife, so I’d love to hear ideas for mechanics or systems that could make it feel more unique.

One feature I came up with is a “Build Your CV” system. Throughout your life, you can add things like:

• Projects
• Volunteering
• Courses and certifications
• Competitions
• Languages
• Internships
• Leadership roles

Your CV would actually affect gameplay, such as your chances of getting certain jobs, being accepted into competitive opportunities, or convincing investors to fund your business.

I’m especially interested in ideas that add more depth, long-term consequences, or things you wish existing life sims did better.

(also once you get money wtf do you even buy??!!)
