Being born in Illinois in BitLife requires no complex strategy but relies entirely on RNG (random number generation). Here’s how to optimize your approach:
Required Method
- Select United States as birthplace: When starting a new life, ensure "Country" is set to "United States" under birthplace options. Illinois won’t appear if other countries are selected.
- Reroll repeatedly: Tap "New Life" until Illinois appears under "State." No actions or choices affect this RNG outcome.
- Check confirmation screen: Verify "Illinois" is explicitly listed below your character’s name before confirming the birth location.
Time Efficiency Tips
Patience is key: With 50 possible U.S. states, expect 25-60 rerolls on average. States are equally weighted, so persistence guarantees success. Skip "Special Delivery" purchases – they don’t target specific states.
Post-Birth Optimization
- Leverage Illinois’ low crime rate for safer childhood activities.
- Pursue public university degrees (e.g., University of Illinois) for reduced education costs.
- Target Chicago-based careers (finance, law) for high salary potential in adulthood.
This method demands only repetitive rerolls. Success relies exclusively on selecting the United States as your country and committing to repeated attempts until Illinois appears.
