City Life

City Life is a casual job-and-roleplay simulation game on Roblox developed by the verified Simple Games Incorporated group, launched in October 2020. Players choose a career, complete work shifts to earn a paycheck, and spend the money on home furniture, clothing, and vehicles in an open city environment. Currently on version 7.0 with 164 million+ visits and 309K favorites, it draws 80 to 250 concurrent players. Servers hold 29 players for an open-city feel. Simple Games Incorporated donates proceeds to charity based on community votes through their Discord.

The core loop cycles through working jobs, collecting paychecks, and spending on home decoration and vehicles. Seven distinct jobs offer different mechanics and two support cooperative play with friends:

• 💼 Firefighter - respond to fire calls and extinguish fires using equipment; supports co-op with multiple players working the same shift
• ⚔️ Police Officer - patrol the city and respond to incidents; supports co-op, pairs naturally with Firefighter for friend groups
• 💰 Cook - food preparation tasks in a restaurant kitchen
• 🏠 Home customization - furnish and decorate a personal residence; a key long-term spending goal
• 🚗 Vehicles - purchasable cars to drive around the open city
• 🎭 Demolitionist - blow up designated structures; the most physically expressive and newest job added in Update 7.0
• ⏳ Additional jobs - Hair Stylist, Cleaner, and more; the developer adds new jobs periodically, appending "New Job!" to the game title each time

The charity vote system distinguishes Simple Games Incorporated from standard Roblox developers - players can join the Simple Games Discord to participate in votes determining which causes receive game proceeds. Home customization is the primary spending goal; furniture variety expands with each update.

City Life competes with Brookhaven RP in the open-world life-sim genre but focuses more directly on structured jobs with paychecks rather than pure sandbox roleplay.
