This Grand Life 2

This Grand Life 2 simulates the financial lives of different people in the modern world. You manage characters with individual preferences in an inflation-driven economy, making decisions about where they work, live and study while setting priorities for them to pursue their desires.

Manage a household

You can run a household with multiple characters, from a bachelor pad or nuclear family to a student share house or hobo camp. Characters age from birth to death and accumulate status conditions over their lives. Their preferences shape the situations you play through: a character might be an ambitious investment banker with a paperwork allergy, or a struggling single parent with a shopping addiction.

Characters can qualify for jobs through experience, education or a combination of both. You can develop their skills and pursue passions including painting, thievery, home building and child adoption.

Work and invest

Industries go through their own booms and busts. For example, manufacturing jobs might pay higher wages while electricity prices are falling. You can also start a small business, hire workers, run it as a family enterprise or do all the jobs yourself.

You can buy residential or commercial property to rent out, live in or use for a business. The stock market lets you research investments using factors such as industry trends, management competency and price-to-earnings ratios.

Influence and travel

In the endgame, rivals support government policy changes that serve their interests, and you can generate influence to do the same. Maps are based on real cities, with travel times determined by road and rail networks as well as obstacles such as rivers and mountains.

Create content

The game is moddable, allowing you to create careers, courses, locations, possessions and more.
