Real stories from creators who found their true build mode alternative.
"I used to spend a fortune on The Sims DLCs just to get specific building elements. Alife Virtual lets me upload my own mesh for free and build on my own island for less than a single expansion pack! It's truly liberating."
- Maya R.
3D Artist & Builder
"The creative freedom here is unmatched. As an adult creator, I appreciate the ability to express myself fully without the restrictions I faced in other games. The free uploads are a game-changer for my projects."
- Jax S.
Virtual World Designer
"Getting my own private sim for $10 a month was incredible. I've built an entire world from scratch with my own custom content, and the Firestorm Viewer makes the experience seamless. Best Sims build mode alternative online, hands down!"
- Chloe P.

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 small free island and 1,000 C$ to shop with, for as long as you log in at least once a week.
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.
