Real stories from former IMVU residents.
"I used to spend hundreds on land and uploads in IMVU. Alife Virtual gave me private islands from $10/mo and I can upload anything! It's truly liberating."
- Sarah M.
Former IMVU Creator
"Finally, an adult virtual world that respects my creative freedom. No more restrictions, just pure building and social fun. And my avatar looks amazing from day one!"
- David L.

Everything you need to know
A whole private island — not a demo. Move in today, keep it only if you love it.
Walk into a finished, professionally designed island with everything already in place. No building, no setup — just log in and live in it.
A clean, empty island of your own to build on — the same high quality hosting, with nothing in your way.
A free island and 1,000 C$ to shop with, yours for as long as you log in at least once a week. Request it with your avatar — offer until 31 Dec 2026.
Both 7-day trials run on the same servers our paying customers use. No card or PayPal is needed to request a free trial — you must be logged in and choose an avatar. One free 7 days per sim type: you can try a premade sim and an empty sim, each once.
