Wish we could be royalty it’s one of my fav game features

RealLives is an interesting and educational life simulation, especially with how it uses real-world data to show how different lives unfold across countries. It definitely makes you think about privilege, access, and opportunity. However, the experience feels limited in some ways. There’s no option to be born into royalty or royal families, even in countries where monarchies still exist. I get that the game aims for realism, but removing entire high-status life paths makes some playthroughs feel repetitive and less immersive. It’s a good concept with potential, but adding more diverse starting scenarios—especially elite or historical power roles—would improve replay value.
Strongly believe in project, but this still is worse than RL 2008

I’ve been watching this project since 2004, and am excited that it has been resurrected. Two major complaints at the moment: (1) the interface remains too clunky—getting through all the screens asking you to creatively journal about your character is annoying for casual play (maybe have option to disable writing prompts?)—and (2) after several lives played both on iPhone and iPad versions I can play in areas with serious problems and still be more than fine. If I say I refuse to confess to the police I am automatically released without any consequences, which has to be a bug. Also, is there a problem with your event multipliers? I’ve done a number of maternal health themed plays and never seen anyone have any problems. And violent areas don’t kill pcs or npcs. And it seems like car accidents would have happened at least once so far. (3) Can you add extended family? It is strange when you are the only member of your family to be reproducing.
Needs fixing

Options that should have positive results for attributes does the opposite. Such as, reading a book with friends makes my IQ drop drastically. Playing with friends makes my happiness plummet. Please fix!! Other than that, game is good.

Im loving the game so far but it becomes quite boring half way through a life. I would love to see an update that can add more choices when you’re playing. For example maybe have some drama at your work place or business, like if two co workers DONT get along. Basically an update that can add variety and a bunch of options for all the current actions
- Added Changemaker Index to the dashboard
- some UI updates
