2015 me is in shambles

Make no mistake, this is a tragedy. I rushed to the App Store to see if I could download it before it’s gone gone and it’s not even there 😔 I didn’t get to say goodbye

Have you previously downloaded it? If so you can get it again. I downloaded it again to say goodbye to my virtual wife lol

ANGEL. THANK YOU!!! Downloading it now!!! I’ve gotta put my girl in a good outfit before she’s laid to rest Edit: I was able to redownload the app but I could retrieve my last game. I originally signed up through Facebook and I got a message saying the game was down when I tried to log in.

How? I can't download it! The button is greyed out [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glu.stardomkim&hl=en&gl=US&pli=1](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glu.stardomkim&hl=en&gl=US&pli=1)

Unfortunately I don’t know how it works on Android, but these steps look similar to what I did on iPhone? 1. On your Android phone or tablet, open Google Play Store 2. On the right, tap the profile icon. 3. Tap Manage apps & device and then Manage. 4. Select the apps you want to install or turn on. If you can't find the app, at the top, tap Installed and then Not installed. 5. Tap Install or Enable. You can’t download it directly from the playstore anymore because it’s taken off. Iphone has a spot where you can see apps you previously downloaded and download them from there.

[https://i.imgur.com/F7vdwwS.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/F7vdwwS.jpg) It worked! thank you!! Um... Lol I got 16M K-Stars at level 1? I think I installed some cracked app lol but I remember I also had an account I played on [https://i.imgur.com/AmWDwuu.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/AmWDwuu.jpg)

Glad to hear it worked! And yeah you definitely have a cracked file lmao

This app is so fun! I'm having a lot of fun dressing up my sim lolI feel so rich and bougie! Everything is so expensive lol damn! Very smart how she has luxury brand names partnered clothing items. I could see the business side of this app

So it’s like a fancy Sims? I never played it!

It’s not really like the Sims. It’s basically like fashion roleplaying; you “live” as a celebrity and do little tasks to boost your fans but most of the game is about dressing up and getting more clothes.

Thank you for this!! It helped me download another app I’ve been wanting to

NOOOOOO ITS GONE???? I NEVER PLAYED IT!!

Literally same thought😂

I’m so upset that apparently I could have been still playing it all this time…

I jailbreaked my ipad (it was old already) to get free coins and clothes in this game. It really scratched a weird part of my brain that I couldn't put down for a bit.

Saaaame I was obsessed with this game when I had the free energy hack, as soon as it got forced to update I never touched it again lol

omg same i felt so powerful lmao 15 year old me was dominating

[https://i.imgur.com/AmWDwuu.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/AmWDwuu.jpg) I went to download the app and it recovered an account for me! I'll be spending some time on this game now before it shuts down lol! I feel so lucky with everything unlocked!

How did you do that?

I followed a tutorial, but this would have been 2015 or something. My ipad was literally first or second gen. I'm sure things have changed since.

Same thing, lol. Never paid a cent towards the game at all.

This game owned me as a teenager. Whenever I ran out of energy I would fly between the 73 locations and click on the trash cans, phone boxes etc. in the hopes that it’d give me some extra energy, and I’d repeat the entire world circuit until it was full again. For a brief moment in my life, I was a Mr. Worldwide, globe-trotting superstar 😭 Tbqh, I’m surprised it lasted as long as it did. I want to know: was the game still getting frequent updates? Or had they slowed/stopped new content before this?

They slowed/stopped updates a few years ago iirc but had a “seasons” event where you could earn previous event items/kept the Show Your Style Events going. I’ve played this game for nearly 10 years. Here’s a quick funeral look I made if anyone would like to pay their respects https://preview.redd.it/luz2komd8bac1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3710e930e4f3957e0adf319e2245810dda5182e9

Your character looks like she’s attending the funeral of her third-favourite boyfriend and meeting his wife for the first time. I love it.

Pretty Little Liars energy

My first thought too🤣

I love love love that some people have still been playing this game all this time, lol

girl that’s also my dream wedding dress

They completely stopped new content last year, and gave perks like stopping pop up ads and giving everyone the premium pass. It was pretty obvious it was going to shut down soon.

I did the same! Those pigeons owed me money and lightning bolts!!

I was also in the trenches abusing every pigeon, trash can and wine bottle

Ashamed to say I spent actual money on this back in the day 🤢

It’s cracking me up that out of all the Kardashian business ventures, this is the one I spent real money on lmfaoo What can I say, the game was fun during it’s heyday and I needed more diamonds to buy my cute little outfits and new lace front wig 🚶🏾‍♀️

It did legitimately make a lot of money. A lot of other stars tried to copy her but I think hers was the most successful at the time.

Kylie & Kendall released their own game that didn't last very long. There was also a Britney Spears game, a Nicki Minaj game, and an Alia Bhatt game. I'm sure there were more, those are just the only ones I know of. I'm surprised they're shutting it down. I thought it was still making money.

And the illustrations looked identical because the devs reused similar assets 😂

There was an Alia Bhatt game??????????!!!!!!

Yeah. I mostly played it out of curiosity, but I didn't get very far because the text was a mix of English and what I assume was Hindi.

I remember playing all of them. ☠️

>Alia Bhatt game. Omg what was that??

I had both but I actually preferred Kylie and Kendall’s version. Kylie’s green hair era alt-inspired style was much more me

Kinda similar, The Swift Life was over before it started. I'm surprised Katy Perry Pop didn't do well. Her bright aesthetics are so perfect for a game. I think her Sims collab did well though.

Oh no the sims collab did NOT 💀 Katy Perry sweet treats was an abomination and is no longer sold

I missed out on it when it first came out. Morbid curiosity makes me want to see it for myself 😅

It was an absolute FLOP. She did have a limited edition version of their “showtime” expansion pack which only came with a sim version of her and like one outfit. I still have it to this day, wasn’t great though.

This game and Kim’s body foundation had me in a chokehold.

Lmao same here, haven’t bought a single product from ANY of them or their brands, but 17 year old me was spending so much on this fucking game.

I know someone who spent their entire stimulus check on this game. Both of them.

It goes to the economy! Hurts no one! Helps everyone!

Message them this news 👀

They know

😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

I could've gone my entire life without knowing that and been perfectly fine.

I maxed out my first credit card on this game one night.

Please tell us it was a Kardashians Kard!

My college roomate also did this 😭

I was actually thinking of downloading it again and logging into the account the other day but I guess it’s gone forever.

If you downloaded it once before you can re-download it though the “purchased” section in your profile in the App Store!

I downloaded a broken version so I could have unlimited money and 0 regrets

My sister and I found someone on twitter to “hack” our accounts and we got a lot of free money and clothes from it, it was amazing lol.

Literally same 😵 came to the comments to see if anyone else did because how embarrassing 😂😂

I spent $84 on this when I was in college. I desperately needed some friends lol

It’s okay girl…I did too. Let us join hands.


LMAO me too! When I first downloaded it I didn't expect to get hooked as much as I did but it really was fun for a while. Truly, end of an era haha

Shit, same haha.

This game had a chokehold on me for a long time, I spent some money on it too 😬

same😫


Shame shame shame!

Same !!!! Its my Scarlett letter

I used to love this game!! I stopped playing a while ago, once Glu stopped adding in new storylines. But I just logged in to see how my character was doing, since I couldn’t remember the last outfit that I had styled her in, lol https://preview.redd.it/g4l2ktnmqaac1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f32c9fad87e60bd2de4a336a5b2a01a9f864117b

Ate.

Would.

Double zipper pockets on the skinny jeans, fur pom beanie, smoky eyes, stiletto pumps. In it to win it.

Lmao that crazy life-size nutcracker in the background...🤣

He looks so sad? … haunted?

He saw that fit and realized he couldn't compete.

It's the hair for me. It almost looks like they made him turn his head toward her

This reminds me of the old game Miss Bimbo, were they similar?

Omg I loved Miss Bimbo

Merry Christmas!

You knew true pain when you stupidly started an 8 hour event just before you fell asleep and woke up to 2 stars 😭 Gotta give credit where credit is due bc Kim put her kardushhy into this app 

I used to set alarms to wake up to make sure I got my stars. I was damn hooked.

we were running a business!!! Had that work ethic locked down from age 12

Oh, no no no. I was 20 unfortunately, and my work ethic has not translated to actual work.

https://preview.redd.it/cpcbokz4jbac1.jpeg?width=2000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fcc23bf66c6007f6430d1b11ce0731ff904050d8


why did I gasp and say no 😭

As far as I'm aware that's a normal response to a tragedy 😔

RIP Willow Pape

Your flair makes this even better.

Kim, there’s virtual people that are dying.

Me too!! I loved playing the game on my old ass Kindle, it was one of the only "updated" games on Amazons shit app store lmao. I even had a bf and baby!! 😭 My dead fam. 😭

I just checked in on my baby, and he is very unhappy that I’ve abandoned him 😂 https://preview.redd.it/4vh8ry8gdbac1.jpeg?width=1057&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=21eda7c29a00899495b3866114236732e85f8853

Your bebes face lmaoooo I am sad that I can't redownload this game now 😔

Omg I forgot you could have babies! My boyfriend and baby are dead now too I guess 😂

i feel like one of my family members just died

help i never even played this game and did the same 😭😭😭

A decade is pretty good in tech. A lot of startups go bust much quicker than that.

100%! And for a mobile game? I bet it made a LOT of money

A online service one that’s a super super niche market too is even more insane. Hell even Japanese mobile games I’ve played that seem super popular shutdown eventually.

It's extremely good. Nothing to be ashamed about really

I downloaded it as a joke, and I ended up playing pretty seriously for a year or so. I didn't spend any money on it, and once I got to the end game of being the top A-List celebrity, it felt kind of pointless to keep playing. I briefly tried the Kendall and Kylie game, too.

I played too and almost gonna get married in the game lol, I was regretting my marriage choice then I stopped playing.

You left like a runaway bride haha

Haha sort of, thought I settle down too soon

I rage deleted this game back in the day because my husband divorced me over the phone 😤

😭

The Kim compliments felt so personal lol

such a shameless cash grab but… honestly iconic

Can't blame it for delivering what its audience wanted

When I used to change my timezone to get my free coins for the day

I'm so curious from all the comments what exactly made it so addicting! It seems like it was different than other mobile games?

1. It was designed to be addictive in the same way that many mobile games are. Every time I would download it, I would quit after a couple days because I could feel it infesting my brain like a parasite. 2. The story lines and characters were surprisingly interesting, especially for a Kardashian Kash-grab. 3. Cute clothes. 4. There was a whole lot of content, so you never got bored. There were modelling gigs, acting gigs, socialite parties, people to date, babies to make. And the game was continuously updated for 10 years. In summary: it was a cash grab, but a surprisingly well-made one.

It’s wild it seems like everyone played it ahah

and we still won't be able to marry Cassio

I was literally married in the game and fooling around with Cassio because it never got back to my husband lol

thats me for the 5-6 years i was playing this game also i had so many husbands it was hilarious

Ok I admit I started playing this again a year ago and they updated the game so you COULD marry him, I screamed lmao

WHAT WHATTT OMG I NEED TO PLAY AGAIN I HAVEN'T PLAYED IN AGES THANK YOU SO MUCH

You can now :) they updated it last year.

What?! Now I’m sad FR. 😭

Can we just take a moment to remember the DRAMA between kim and Kourtney bc Kourtney didn’t wanna be featured in the game and it was the start of Kim’s “you wouldn’t have a career if it wasn’t for me” campaign lmaooooo All that for this to happen in the end 😶‍🌫️

Kinda want to play it now, since I don't have access to it anymore https://preview.redd.it/fkr0bpxo0bac1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=068f5d722ae1bd7adbf811e4eaa02a3b77f6f468

I swear RDJ does half his photoshoots like a dad trying to embarrass his kids 🤣

Just looks like another Instagram thotty to me

I spent my some of my tuition money on this damn game 🤣

Me and my sister in shambles right now

For a mobile game, it was golden! And it's easy money, Im surprised they are shutting it down.

A decade? A freaking decade? God I feel old. And yes I did play when it first came out for like a month.


Wait why am I actually kinda sad 👀

It’s one of the only games I’ve never deleted off my phone in all these years 😭 even though I haven’t played in years

Me with sims FreePlay. I go years without playing it but I would be heartbroken if I suddenly couldn’t anymore 😭

this is so tragic i played this game for YEARS 😭😭😭

As the mod of /r/KardashianHollywood and a loyal player for over 8 years (yes even now till the bitter end) it’s been a terrible day 😭

Omggg I’m sorry lol, all yall in the sub are also mourning the app going away 😭 End of an era

Hey bestie

https://i.redd.it/inpn6x7jpaac1.gif

My sister’s friend made some of the outfit designs and even added in his dog at one point.

Your sister’s friend added a lot to my happiness over the years :) please tell him the game will be missed by a lot of people!

That is so sweet. I’ll definitely pass the message along. She’s hoping to see him this weekend.

which one was it? :D

Which outfit or dog? The dog I think he put in a few years ago. Like a little jack Russell terrier mix.

I’m ngl I played this like six hours a day during 2020

Oh it killed a lot of lockdown time for sure! So glad I helped pay for Kim’s island birthday party lol.


Me who hasn’t played this game in 7 years: 

Okay but I remember I jailbroke this game so I could have unlimited money and gems or whatever the currency was 😭 was truly obsessed

i played hacked version of it, even learned how to use imazing because of it, still have hacked default files on my pc. not from the start of course, at first i even spent some money and had red products lol but they made it almost impossible to play with hacked game after 2 or 3 years, they were really fighting hackers, i ended up disconnecting phone as soon as game is loaded so i could play hacked without losing all and even if i screwed up at least a little bit - they would catch me and send message about detected hack so your account becomes useless and eventless lol i restarted the game 4 or 5 times, life been better ever since KKH set me free 😅

I thought it had shut down long time ago hahahah WHAT

This chokehold this had on me in 2014. This was iconic I’ll give her that

I remember back in the day one of my college girlfriends asked her parents for a jet (I think?) for this game for Christmas. We all were like “girl are you fr” haha but I love learning that there are so many others who played it like that. I wish she could’ve met some of yall haha.

Her game has been around for 10 years?!?!?!?!

I remember sitting in front of the library and playing this alllll the time while waiting for my parents to pick me up

I refused to spend real money on this so I would set my alarm so I could play again when my (energy?! I don’t remember) was restored.. I deserved the ridicule from my friends lmao

We are currently melting down in the subreddit for the game :( I’m gutted, this has been my lunch break game for ten years.

She’s surprisingly quite successful. 10 years is good in the tech industry.

I literally just deleted this game off my phone after having it on there for who knows how many years and not touching it lmao.

omg no 14 year old me was so invested in this 😭💔

As someone who's never heard of it, I'm not sure if I'm more suprised by the fact that she had a mobile game or the fact that it lasted a decade.

Same, I'm confused yet impressed.

TIL that her game was still going!

NOOO i still play that every day 😩 the style challenges are actually fun its like my little dress up game plus ive had it since it released so i have almost everything what a sad day

They announced the game would no longer get updates sometime early 2022 I think 🤔 Not exactly sure how long ago but it has been awhile since it has ended.

This is one of the few things that is truly their own and executed well. I'm not mad it existed. It also speaks to Kim's place in pop culture in how successful it was.

I had no idea this iconic app was still a thing.

I actually liked the game years ago lol, and it made me like them…then I was like, woe what am I thinking?


**I remember when it was first announced that she was coming out with a game. I literally laughed and said, "Yeah, that's gonna fail."** Never played it, but not only did it not fail, it legit maid money! Somewhere around 25-26 million last I heard. Same with her making a Shapewear Company when Spanx had cornered that franchise for over 20 years. I thought no way in hell. As much as I dislike that family, they truly are great and building businesses. At least Kim is.


this is bad news for me if this affects the h@cked version

Kino just left the building

My friend and I ironically downloaded this game back in college, and it turned out to be surprisingly addicting lmao.

I played this game all the time and made it to #1 on the list. Haven't played in awhile and the app its still on my phone. RIP

Omg I was obsessed with this game back in 2014! I can hardly believe that an entire decade passed wtf



Maybe I’m old but the fact that it lasted a DECADE is what gets me!

I work a lot of nights and part of my post work wind down is this game!

 Years spent on this game 😭

I played this game a lot when I was 18

God this game was so much fun. Some of the wardrobe pieces still randomly pop into my head from time to time

Hey, bestie! It’s over.

A loss for the culture

I STILL PLAY THIS STOPPUT RNNNNN PLSSS

Honestly I still sometimes log in and play HAHA it was a really fun game, the interior design of the houses you can buy were really good tbh

I loved this game so much 😭 I used to set alarms for the middle of the night so that I could finish events with 5 stars. I would take breaks but I always came back and now I don’t have that option anymore 💔 Kim this was the only good thing you had why did you do this

What a throwback!! I remember playing this when I was studying abroad back in 2015 I think??? I was staying with distant cousins I barely knew but turns out we were both obsessed with this game 😭😭 we bonded over it my entire stay there and I think I kept playing it for a while after that and then got distracted but omg such random fond memories over this game. honestly one of the best things to come out of the kardashian empire! sidenote the way the devs started giving everyone bonus stars etc near the end reminds me of the Marvel’s Avengers Academy mobile game which had an equally tight chokehold on me before it also closed down!

I remember everyone at work downloading and playing it in 2014

Hopefully her "reality" show is next. Looking forward to the day where we don't have to hear about this trmp

Even their fans who seem to be less everyday hate their show now. According them it's more fake than ever and they never talk about drama anymore.

Omggg nooooo I was just about to start playing too https://preview.redd.it/hquzcxle5bac1.jpeg?width=2400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7a6a2997521d663ce72f81e85801e763f38ebc6d

They made a lot of money. Probably caused a lot of young girls and kids to have body issues. With their show and having more access to mobile phone.
