Singles: Flirt Up Your Life [Mature Version] PC Game

Singles: Flirt Up Your Life is a personality simulation game that revolves around the development of a romantic relationship between two everyday characters, who begin as mere acquaintances sharing an apartment. As in Maxis' The Sims, players spend their time managing their character's daytoday activities (such as going to work, eating regularly, and getting enough sleep), redesigning the apartment to make it more comfortable, and encouraging the two characters to grow closer by prompting them to communicate with one another in different ways.

Unlike in The Sims, players don't design their Singles from scratch, but choose from a selection of premade characters with various personality traits. Singles was designed for the European market, where many Americans might find the general attitude toward sexual expression to be more relaxed. Properly wooed Singles will eventually undress in front of one another (and the player) as they become more intimate. Because the original version of the game featured full nudity and portrayals of sexual relationships, it was rated "AO" ("Adults Only") by the ESRB.

Since the great majority of North American retailers flatly refuse to sell "AO"rated games (regardless of actual content), the original version of Singles was only sold online in the U.S. This North Americanboxed retail version of Singles: Flirt Up Your Life has been edited for content, and features only "Partial Nudity," as defined by the ESRB. While gameplay in this censored version remains identical to that of the original, certain activities and parts of the characters' bodies are blocked from the player's view. ~ T.J.
