How to play in five minutes

MyLife is an online social life sim set in Lagos, Abuja, Accra and Port Harcourt. You create one Sim, manage six needs, earn in game naira, travel across four 3D cities, build a home and meet other players. It runs in the browser and uses game money only.

Creation has four steps: look, exactly two traits, dream and starter home. Every player starts as a commoner with the same birth funds, and starter housing is rented. Housing setup funds are added once to birth funds, a project-specific interpretation because the reference does not explain their relationship. Existing lives are not recalculated.

• 🔑 Create an account. You must be 13 or older.
• 🧍 Choose a look, two traits and one dream.
• 🪙 Everyone starts as a commoner with the same funds.
• 🏠 Pick a starter home and move in.
• 🍛 Keep Hunger, Energy, Fun, Social, Hygiene and Bladder in shape.
• 💼 Open Jobs, apply for a career and work a scheduled shift.
• 🗺️ Use the map, the place card and a real ride to get around.
• 📱 The phone holds work, money, travel, social life, campaigns and games.

Your first day

Your Sim starts near the residential quarter. The central harbour has public services, markets, offices and nightlife; bridges connect the outer districts. Open Phone → Jobs to see today’s lead and your career options.

All prices are in Nigerian naira (₦). A full need bar lasts roughly 14 to 33 real hours depending on the need. You do not need to watch it constantly, but low needs reduce your mood and can cost you a shift.

During testing, city time is Asia/Shanghai (UTC+8), running at real speed. Sleeping, working, studying and travelling do not fast-forward the clock.

Your starting funds

Everyone starts as a commoner with the same ₦22,000 birth funds. There is no birth lottery, and no loan or vehicle is assigned at birth. The housing setup grant is added once when you move in; weekly rent starts after that.

A LAPO loan is only added if you choose it from the bank. It is collected weekly and must be repaid; it is not free money.

Reading the map

Every pin is a real place with opening hours, activities, prices and sometimes staff or interiors. Tap a building or a map entry to open the centred place card. If you are elsewhere, choose a ride and depart.

Walking is free but slow. Danfo, Keke, Okada and Cab charge a base fare plus distance; your own car burns fuel. Water is not walkable; use a bridge or a ride.

What saves

• Your Sim, wallet, needs, skills, job, homes, cars, relationships, album and settings synchronize automatically.
• There is no manual save button. Settings shows Cloud sync status and retries automatically after a failure.
• Chat, social requests, elections, raids and shared economy actions are handled by the server.
• Closing the tab saves on exit. A very recent action may still be waiting for the next confirmed sync.

The rules of the city

• You must be 13+. Players aged 13–17 see a separate teen space.
• No harassment, hate, threats, doxxing, scams or sexual content involving minors.
• Everything you earn or buy is game money. It has no cash value and cannot be withdrawn.
• Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt are real places. The city map, characters, businesses and stories are fictional.
