You are the Player of your Life.

Real life is a game of strategy, even though you may not be aware of it. There are several entertaining mini-games, such as dancing, driving, running, and having sex, but controlling your resources is the only surefire way to succeed. Most significantly, good athletes invest their time in the correct activities. Although money will eventually play a role in the game, managing your time should always come first. When given a random character and conditions, life begins. The first fifteen years of life are essentially awful tutorial missions. These cannot be skipped.

Adolescent stage

You will have a lot of time and energy as a young player, but absolutely no experience. The majority of things, including the finest lovers, belongings, and careers, remain locked until you can access them. Now is the ideal time to quickly level up your abilities. Never again will you have much time and energy. Your primary priority, once you've learned how to play properly, is to manage your time as effectively as you can. Your state and your capabilities are impacted by everything you do. This may seem easy, but the difficulty lies in the fact that you won't always know which chores to select and that your body won't always respond to your directions. Let's dissect it.

How to follow your instructions

Many athletes discover that their bodies utterly ignore them when they decide to do something, like "go to the gym." Everyone has a state that is hidden from view but resembles this. If your state dips too low in one area, your body will act contrary to your commands until your requirements are addressed. Try studying when you're hungry and worn out and see how quickly Twitter takes your attention away.

Your amount of willpower is particularly crucial. Willpower wanes throughout the day, is partially refilled by eating, and is fully refilled by getting a good night's sleep. You can only do things you genuinely desire to when your willpower is weak. Every choice you must make requires willpower, and those where you must reject an alluring alternative in favor of a less alluring one (such as exercising instead of watching TV) demand a lot of it.

There are several methods to maintain appropriate behavior. Keep your mood positive. Your willpower will give out if you're hungry, worn out, or completely devoid of enjoyment. Make sure you always look after yourself. Don't ask too much of one day's willpower. Spread out the most difficult activities over several days, alternating them with easier ones. Start with the most crucial duties. This makes your top task more likely while making other tasks more challenging.

Reduce the number of options to lessen the demand for willpower. You'll need more willpower if you're working on a computer that can access Facebook because you'll frequently opt for the challenging task over the simple one. Put an end to such diversion. A crucial aspect of the game is striking a balance between your competing priorities and your physical condition. Just remember to keep yourself off autopilot or you won't do anything.

Picking the appropriate tasks

The majority of the game is choosing the right jobs at the right moment. You need to devote time to activities that ensure a healthy state, such as eating and sleeping, to maintain your willpower levels for some tasks, for example. Then, using the resources you still have, you must improve your skills. Some abilities are worth more than others. Good ones can reveal entire routes, much like a tech tree. Being the best at one talent takes a lot of practice and is frequently impossible. However, it is much simpler to become competent in numerous related abilities that add up to something bigger.

Your residence

Your attributes, skills, and likelihood of leveling up are all constantly impacted by your environment. Although it's possible to play the game well practically everywhere, there are some locations where it's much simpler. For instance, you won't be able to obtain numerous milestones if you're a girl and are in the incorrect nation. There is almost no chance that someone will be born in their ideal location, so weigh your possibilities and think about relocating early. Every one of your abilities and states is multiplied by your location.

Locating a spouse

Although it is a sophisticated mini-game in and of itself, attraction largely results from the way you're already playing. You are already much more attractive if you are in great health and have high skill levels. A worn-out, irritated, incompetent player is unattractive and generally shouldn't be looking for love. It might be normal to both reject and be rejected by other players in the early stages of the game. This is typical, however since most players don't take rejection or being rejected well, it can, unfortunately, deplete your energy. Give it time; you'll need to exert willpower to persevere, and sleep restores willpower.

Being your most attractive self, which, like so many other things in life, merely requires investing the proper amount of time in the right locations, accounts for 80% of finding someone. If you're active, socializing, eating well, and advancing in your profession, you'll naturally exude attractiveness. Putting oneself in situations where you can meet the proper individuals makes up the remaining 20%.

Monetary value

You'll have to handle a new resource called "money" later on in the game. The majority of players will discover that as money grows throughout the early game, difficulties get worse, not better. Never borrow money, unless it's for a purpose that would allow you to recoup more of it. Education or a mortgage, for instance, can be beneficial (but are not necessarily so, depending on the education or the mortgage). It is not borrowing to purchase new shoes. The game's options evolve as you play. Your time and energy will decrease if you get married and have kids, and the game will become more random ("Emergency diaper change!"). Because of this, it is more difficult to grow as quickly.

After roughly 29,000 days or 80 years, all players pass away. You might live a little while longer if your stats and skills are strong. There isn't a cheat code to make this longer. You had no control over either your environment or who you were at the beginning of the game. That returns to be true by the game's conclusion. Your prior choices have a significant impact on where you end up, and there is nothing you can do to change whether you are happy, healthy, and content in your final days. Because of this, your strategy is crucial. Because by the time most of us have figured out life, the best parts have been overused.
