Family life

What it is

Family lets you spend time with your children, invite relatives to live with you or stay over, visit your bae for the weekend, propose with a ring, make a will and get divorced.

How to care for your children

1. Tap a child at home to see their face, name, age and class, or talk with them about school, your day together, toys, siblings and how fed they are. Your replies can slightly change your bond.
2. Use the child’s actions to Hug, Come here, Go to your room, Play at a toy, Help with homework, start Bath time, Put to bed, Carry a toddler or Eat together.
3. Or open Family → your child. Choose Play together, Bath time, Homework or Change hair. These actions are free and each needs a short rest afterwards. You can hold a naming ceremony for a baby once.
4. To assign a bed, tap it → Whose bed is this? → choose you, a child or the nanny.
5. For dinner, use the dining table. You and every child at home eat together for 45 minutes.

How to manage family and relationships

1. In Family, tap a relative to ask them to move in with you, move in with them, stay over at yours or go on a family holiday with you and your bae.
2. To invite a friend’s children for a playdate, open your chat with them → ⋯ → Invite for a playdate.
3. To stay at your bae’s for the weekend, go to Family → your bae → Stay the weekend at mine.
4. To propose, buy a ring from the mall’s jeweller, then use it in Family.
5. To make your will, go to Family → My will and name an heir for each company, home, land and car.
6. To file for divorce, choose the divorce option in Family. The person who filed can take it back; the other person can agree to end the marriage straight away.

Rules & numbers

• Children age in game years: 7 days = 1 year.
• Day pupils are away on weekdays from 7:30 to 15:30 (game clock). The nanny walks them out and back; without a nanny, a yellow school bus comes to the front door.
• You can have up to 4 relatives living in your home. Each needs their own bed. Relatives get a key and can use beds, the kitchen and do chores, but not use the couple’s things.
• A relative’s stay at your home is free and lasts 1–7 nights.
• Your bae’s weekend stay lasts 48 hours. They can come and go without knocking, cook with their own groceries and sleep in the beds. The house’s cars stay with the owner. A bae you let in at the door can also cook and sleep there.
• The jeweller sells four rings: Gold band ₦150,000, Halo diamond ₦2m, Solitaire ₦25m and The Rock ₦1.5bn. You can carry up to 3 rings. Proposing costs no extra ring. If they say yes, your best ring goes on their hand; if they say not yet, it stays yours. A ring you give cannot be taken back, sold or paid back. You must be an adult to buy and give a ring.
• An heir must be your spouse, married for 3 or more days, or a child player linked to you for 3 or more days.
• Divorce takes 48 hours to become final if the other person does not agree sooner. You remain married during the notice period. Breakups with baes and fiancés happen straight away.
• People remember things you did, such as helping them or roasting them, but these memories fade after some days. Friendships can develop into Paddy Mi, Rival or, for adults, Crush. Doing the same social action with the same person three times in a row is Boring and reduces its effect by 15%.

Tips

• A child sometimes goes to watch cartoons on a TV at home.
• Use Sim → People → Your story to see your timeline with someone.
• If a friend is feeling down, choose Cheer Them Up from their menu.
