Make your first Sim

Open Create, choose Sim, and tell YAM four things: who the cast is, where it happens, how many people your player can date, and how many days the season runs.

Tap the arrow (Draft my show) to send.

YAM may ask you a few quick questions first. Then it writes your whole show. While it works, the Build tab says YAM is writing your show.

When it's done, Chat shows a summary like “Drafted Golden Hour Villa” with how many characters and days it made. Tap View in Build to see everything.

If something is missing, a Needs a look box sits at the top of Build. Each item has its own fix button. Named a character YAM left out? You'll see “1 person you named is missing” with Add 1.

Items under “things to fix before you build” must be fixed. Items under “things to look at” are suggestions.

In Cast, your characters are split in two:

• Datable: players can date them and end up with one.
• Not datable: players earn their trust but never date them. Each one has a role like Bestie, Rival or Wingman.

Tap any card to open their sheet. The three fields that matter most are Wants, Fears and Secret. Make two characters want the same thing and your season writes itself.

In Season, open Season length and pick 1 to 30 days. Each day is one morning, one afternoon and one night. For a first game, 5 to 7 days is a good length.

Under Show host, choose who runs the ceremonies and challenges:

• Director: YAM runs the show from behind the camera.
• A cast member: one of your Not datable characters hosts.
• Nobody: no host, and challenges are turned off.

The opening scene is the first thing every player reads. It decides whether they stay. In Story, tap Opening scene.

A great opening drops the player in the middle of something: a door slams, a glass breaks, every head turns to the new arrival. Then 2 to 4 choices, each with a different flavor.

In Look, choose an Art style: Yam pick, Anime, Otome, Webtoon, Reality promo or Cinematic. One style is used for the cover and every place, and every portrait is original, drawn in that style.

Then tap Build. YAM draws original art and makes your game playable. The art arrives piece by piece, and All art is in tells you it's done.

Tap Test play at the top and play your own opening. Your test plays never show up in your stats.

Your first build is live as Unlisted: anyone with the link can play. Tap Publish to choose who can play, then copy the link and send it to your group chat.
