In-Living was launched in February 2009 during Nottingham City Council's Youth Month and is similar in style to the popular Sims game.

Living on your own for the first time can be daunting for anyone, but particularly for younger people. This game helps answer a lot of questions and gives you the chance to learn, possibly make mistakes, but learn how to fixthem – all without having to actually go through it!
