Welcome to The Ville
The Ville was Zynga's life game (2012–2013): make a character, build your dream home room by room, and get to know your neighbours. Zynga's server was never archived, so this one is our own, rebuilt from the game.
Getting in
- Get the L.O.S launcher from losfarms.xyz/launcher.
- Sign in with your L.O.S account and pick L.O.S The Ville in the games hub.
- Make your character. You start in a small house with a starter guide.
Your home
- Rooms: build new rooms onto your house. A room under construction finishes as you click its building marker.
- Furniture: buy from the market and decorate. Things stacked on others (a laptop on a desk) stay put. The market opens on L.O.S Picks, from over 3,000 pieces of furniture made for L.O.S.
- Ville Cash is free: every package in the Ville Cash shop costs nothing.
- Happiness and jobs: keep your character happy; some things (like the laptop) unlock through the starter quests.
Neighbours
- Every other L.O.S player is your neighbour, along with the game's own characters.
- Visit their homes, join their crews to help them build, and send free gifts or ask for items from the Requests panel on the play page.
- Ask a neighbour to be your good friend (or more): it reaches their Requests list.
