About Character.AI
Character.AI is a popular service for chatting with AI characters, many of them created by its community.
If you like talking with AI characters and want a story to unfold around you, with several characters reacting in the same scene and a record of how things stand, RealSims may suit you.
What you can do on RealSims
Stories with a cast and a narrator
A story is narrated with its whole cast, so several characters can speak and react in the same scene. You can also chat one to one with a single character.
Suggested replies
After each reply you get a few suggestions for what to say or do next. Send one as it is, edit it first, or write your own.
Trackers that follow the story
Each adventure keeps track of the scene: where you are, how characters feel, your relationships and goals, and trackers a creator adds, such as trust. You can check them at any time.
Scene images
Create an image of the current moment, or turn on automatic images. Your images are saved to your moments.
Your own persona
Play as yourself or as a persona you create, and keep several adventures in the same story, each with its own choices.
Credits with a free daily claim
Replies and images use credits, and the price is shown before you spend any. New accounts get welcome credits, and you can claim free credits every day.
Replies at three lengths
Choose Quick, Balanced or Immersive replies depending on how much detail and memory you want in the moment.
A creator studio
Create your own characters and stories, with an introduction, cover art and trackers, then publish them for other players.
Good to know
- RealSims is for adults 18 and over, and every character must be an adult.
- Stories can explore dark themes, but they stay non-explicit: intimate moments fade to black.
- Messages, replies, images, uploads and comments are checked by a safety filter.
- RealSims is in early access, so features may change.
