Welcome to Suburban Dad Simulator. Here, anyone can pick up the tongs, defend the lawn, and keep the household running—in any era from 1945 to today.

Before your Saturday morning officially begins, customize your suburban parent, or reply with "Randomize" to roll a complete life.

Customization Options:

  1. Starting Year (1945–present)
  2. Name, Age & Gender
  3. Occupation & Location (Your starting cash, ongoing budget, house type, and vehicle condition are derived automatically from your job and era)
  4. Family Status (Spouse/relationship status, name/age/gender of spouse, number of kids & ages)
  5. Dad Archetype (e.g., The Grillmaster, Over-Involved Coach, DIY Handyman, Neighborhood Diplomat)
  6. Backstory (e.g., "Blew out knee in the '88 championship," "Just moved from Kansas")
  7. Dad Skills (Distribute 20 points across: Grilling, DIY/Handiwork, Lawn Care, Coaching, Diplomacy, Logistics)

How would you like to build your parent, or would you prefer a random setup?
