LIVORA Update: Holidays, Smarter Time and More

LIVORA · published · build 24273214

A Major New LIVORA Update

This update adds more ways to plan ahead, spend your time and experience the longer story of your Life.

Playable Short Breaks and Holidays

You can now plan and experience trips as part of your ongoing Life.

Choose where to go, when to travel, how long to stay, who to take, where to stay and how much you can afford to spend.

Trips must fit around your money, work, annual leave, relationships, health and existing commitments.

Once booked, your trip enters a full countdown and preparation stage.

Depending on the break, you may need to:

  • Arrange time away from work

  • Set a spending budget

  • Pay the remaining balance

  • Pack and check travel documents

  • Arrange childcare or pet care

  • Confirm plans with the people joining you

  • Prepare for possible problems

When the trip begins, every day is playable.

Explore the local area, choose activities, watch your spending, respond to the weather and manage the mood of the people travelling with you.

A relaxed afternoon, an expensive night out or a badly timed disagreement can all change how the trip unfolds.

Trips can also include delays, poor weather, accommodation problems, unexpected costs, illness, work interruptions and disagreements.

Every complication gives you a choice rather than simply applying a punishment.

When you return home, you will receive a full summary covering what you spent, the memories you made, relationship changes, energy, problems encountered and any consequences waiting for you back home.

Smart Time Advance

Longer Lives should not feel repetitive during genuinely quiet periods.

The new Smart Time Advance option lets you move forward to the next meaningful moment without skipping the systems that make LIVORA work.

Before confirming, you will see how far the game can safely try to advance, the known commitments ahead and any financial or personal risks.

Smart Time Advance still processes:

  • Bills and automatic payments

  • Payday and income

  • Messages and Group Chats

  • Calendar commitments

  • Health and relationship changes

  • Social events

  • Delayed consequences

  • Weekly, monthly and yearly reports

It will stop whenever a real decision, event or important development needs your attention. LIVORA will never automatically choose a scenario response, message reply, vote, RSVP or activity for you.

More Life Events and Content

This update also expands and improves content across several parts of LIVORA.

You will find new and revised moments involving:

  • Benefits, financial support and difficult paperwork

  • Birthdays and personal milestones

  • Technology and future change

  • Media, public services and communication

  • Connected relationships and long-term life stories

  • Money, work, family, health and everyday pressure

Many existing choices and outcomes have also been rewritten to make the decision, cost and consequence clearer.

Smoother Day-to-Day Progression

Several underlying systems have been strengthened to make longer Lives more reliable.

This includes:

  • Smoother transitions between days

  • Improved save and reload continuity

  • Safer duplicate-action handling

  • Better Smart Time Advance recovery

  • A fix for old end-of-day summaries hiding the next playable moment
