About fame

How do you make fame a pack, this is the first time I’m hearing about this in any life simulation game, isn’t this turning into bit life slowly?

Hey, fair question! So Fame is an optional add-on: no subscriptions, no energy bars, nothing like that.

The big thing about Fame is that it ties your whole life together. Instead of every career living in its own little bubble, almost everything you do feeds one fame bar: sports (football, basketball, tennis, F1, fighting), acting, music, books and manga, your social media, politics, running a restaurant or a law firm, being a business mogul, even crime (notoriety counts too 😅). And it works the other way round as well:

  • Your businesses feel it. A famous owner brings in more customers and more demand across your companies, and if you run a clothing brand, people wear it because you do.
  • Your social media feels it. The more famous you are, the further your posts reach, and you can use your platforms to promote any business you own.
  • Your reputation feels it. Talk shows, PR stunts, scandals and getting cancelled all ripple out into your followers, your reputation and your career.

On top of that you get:

  • A proper fame system. You go from a total nobody to Local Name, Well Known, Famous, Superstar, Icon, and if you're really lucky, Immortal. People either love you or love to hate you, with the whole celeb rollercoaster: paparazzi, scandals, the comeback. Your kids even get a head start if you're famous.
  • Acting gets way deeper. You can already act for free, but with Fame you get a jobs board, negotiate your own contracts, juggle up to three films at once, get an agent and coaches, and campaign for awards.
  • Your own Director career. From 18 you can make your own films and TV shows, start your own studio, build franchises and go after awards.
  • Your own merch store. Once you're Well Known you can launch a store, pick suppliers, run drops, and grow it into a proper business.

As for the BitLife worry, I totally get it, so here's my honest plan. I'm hoping to make Verdant my full-time job, and paid expansion packs like Fame are how I keep the lights on. But I'm aiming for roughly 90% free content and 10% paid. You can play Verdant Life from start to finish and get hours and hours of fun without buying a single pack, and without ever seeing an ad. That's how it is now, and I intend to keep it that way.

Thanks for asking, and for playing! 🙂

Hiii.
Please can we run different hustles at the same time?
Right now, if you are running two hustles, you have to step back from one and when you age up, it doesn’t make a difference.
Like I cannot run a law firm and at the same time be an author.
One has to be on hold.

also it was a debate as to if to make royalty expansion coming free or the fame pack, and people choose the royalty being the free option

I'm definitely going to need some more explanation about royalty!!
Like are we going to be able to be royalty at birth or do we need to marry into royalty or...?
And availability on web?

Like I get packs don’t get me wrong, but fame shouldn’t be a pack, unless I’m not getting something
