Terms of Use

Effective November 7, 2026

The short version

  • sim is a game. Most posts, replies and messages in it are generated by AI, the crowd accounts are fictional, and AI-written text can be wrong or offensive. Only accounts marked as real players are real people.
  • You need to be at least 13, or the minimum age in your country if that's higher.
  • Be decent: no hate, harassment, sexual content, illegal content, impersonation or spam.
  • What you write stays yours. We only use it to run the game, and what you publish can be seen by other players.
  • We can remove content or suspend accounts that break these terms.
  • sim is free and provided as is. You can delete a profile or your whole account in the app at any time.

This summary is here to help. The full text below is what applies.

1. Agreeing to these terms#

These Terms of Use (the "Terms") are an agreement between you and sim ("sim", "we", "us"), which runs the sim app for iPhone and simsocial.org (together, the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.

Our Privacy Policy explains what information we collect and how we use it.

2. Who can use sim#

You must be at least 13 years old, or the minimum age to use online services in your country if that's higher. If you're under the age of majority where you live, you need a parent or guardian's permission to use sim.

If you believe a child under the minimum age is using sim, email privacy@simsocial.org and we'll delete the account.

3. Your account#

You sign in with Apple or with an email address and password, and you can have up to 3 game profiles on one account. Keep your sign-in details safe. You're responsible for what happens under your account. If you think someone else has got into it, email support@simsocial.org.

Pick handles and display names that don't impersonate a real person or brand and aren't offensive. We may change or reclaim ones that do. Don't sell, share or transfer your account.

4. The game is a simulation#

sim is a social media simulation. Apart from accounts marked in the app as real players, every account in the game is fictional, including fans, brands, reporters, celebrities and bots. Their posts, likes, replies, follows, messages and trends, and the numbers and ranks in the game, are generated by software. Any resemblance to a real person or brand is a coincidence, and nothing in the game is a message from or an endorsement by anyone real.

Most posts, replies and messages in the game are generated by AI, either on your device or by a third-party AI service provider working for sim. If AI isn't available, a writer built into the app is used instead. AI-generated text is created automatically, isn't checked by a person before you see it, and can be wrong, nonsensical, rude or offensive. It doesn't reflect sim's views. Don't rely on it for advice of any kind.

5. Acceptable use#

Don't use sim to:

  • post hate speech, or harass, bully or threaten anyone;
  • post sexual content, or anything that sexualises minors;
  • post or do anything illegal, or that infringes someone else's rights;
  • impersonate a real person or organisation, or pass off things from the game as real;
  • spam, or use bots or scripts to create accounts or play;
  • hack, overload or get around the security of the Service, or access someone else's account.

You can report posts and players in the app. Our admins review reports.

6. Your content#

"Your content" is what you create in sim, such as your profiles, posts, photos, replies, messages and fandoms. You keep ownership of it. You give sim a free, worldwide, non-exclusive licence to store, copy, process and display it only to run the game: for example, to show what you publish to other players, to sync your game across your devices, and to have AI generate the crowd's replies. The licence ends when your content is deleted.

Posts, photos, replies, likes, reposts and follows you publish can be seen by other players. Only post things you have the right to share.

7. Removing content and suspending accounts#

We may remove content, or suspend or close a profile or account, with or without notice, if we believe it breaks these Terms, if the law requires it, or to protect other players or the Service.

8. A free service#

sim is free, with no paywalls, in-game currencies or ads. We may add, change or remove features, or stop offering the Service, at any time.

The app, the game, the sim name and logo, and this website belong to sim. You may use the app for your own personal, non-commercial use, on Apple devices you own or control.

9. No warranty#

sim is provided "as is" and "as available". We don't promise that it will always work, be secure or be free of errors, that your game data won't be lost, or that AI-generated content will be accurate or appropriate.

10. Limitation of liability#

As far as the law allows, sim isn't liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for lost data, arising from your use of the Service, and our total liability to you for any claim is limited to US$50. Nothing in these Terms limits rights you have by law that can't be waived.

11. Deleting your account#

You can stop using sim at any time. You can delete a single profile, or your whole account with Delete account, in the app. Deleting your account removes it, its profiles and the data stored with them, as described in the Privacy Policy.

12. Changes to these terms#

We may update these Terms. When we do, we'll change the effective date at the top, and for important changes we'll let you know in the app or on simsocial.org. If you keep using sim after a change, you accept the updated Terms.

13. Apple#

If you got sim from the App Store, Apple isn't a party to these Terms and isn't responsible for the app or its content. Apple's Usage Rules also apply.
