The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads, which often interrupt gameplay and are perceived as intrusive. Many users report that even after purchasing ad removal options, they continue to encounter ads, leading to feelings of being scammed. While some acknowledge that ads can be beneficial for rewards, the consensus is that the sheer volume of ads detracts significantly from the overall gaming experience, making it feel more like an ad-watching platform than a game.
βThe game is quite good, but I think there are rooms for improvement, for example displaying all in-app purchases in one place instead of scattered like now.β
βSo far the best life simulator game ever, but I bought the $1.99 starter pack for more money, no ads, and free control.β
βJust that I purchased the no ads deal for the $4.99 tag and I'm still getting ads, so 4 stars because it's actually a good game but it is what it is.β
βThe game is just a cash grab game.β
βYou waste more time watching ads than playing.β
βIt's ridiculous how many ads they've forced into the game!β

βThis is one of the best games I've played. I love the fact that it actually has a good story that makes sense, not to mention all the interesting characters.β
βThe story is interesting enough to want to see the end.β
βThe storyline makes sense at some point, but for the last 30 to 40 years, you will be so bored.β
βDo not trust these 5-star reviews; it's a horrible game. It's more like watching ads non-stop than a game. Every 2 minutes, you will get an ad, no matter whatβno story, no nothing, just non-stop grinding by watching ads.β

The gameplay is generally praised for its smooth mechanics and engaging elements, with many players enjoying the core experience and storyline.

The game's stability is heavily criticized, with users reporting frequent glitches, freezes, and bugs that disrupt gameplay, particularly after progressing through levels. Many players express frustration over forced ads and the inability to interact with certain game features, leading to a generally negative experience. Overall, the game is described as unstable and plagued by technical issues that diminish its enjoyment.
βWay too many ads after about 2 days you have completed everything there is to do and your only option is to start over. The game is completely filled with glitches, such as not letting you click on certain things like the job options after you hit Soho. You can only go straight down the line; it won't let you click on any of the other jobs. Up until then, I was playing as a criminal, but I can no longer select the criminal occupations. Overall, horrible game; also not an idle game.β
βIt's fun at first, but the more you play, the more absolutely buggy the game becomes.β
βThe game freezes at the happiness tutorial.β

βIt is just too grindy.β
βAlso, when businesses came into play, I felt leveling up one at a time quickly became tedious and wished that I could level more at once.β
βDo not trust these 5-star reviews; it's a horrible game. It's more like watching ads nonstop than a game. Every 2 minutes, you will get an ad no matter what. No story, no nothing, just nonstop grinding by watching ads.β
