How to complete the Professor of Cityburg challenge in BitLife

The Professor of Cityburg challenge in BitLife is about surviving in an expensive city alongside your children and animal friends. Things start easy but get difficult very quickly, especially once you get to a few luck-based objectives.

BitLife Professor of Cityburg challenge guide

BitLife’s Professor of Cityburg challenge has five tasks to complete:

• Be born a male in New York
• Become a scientist
• Father triplets
• Own a primate
• Have a 100 percent relationship with a cat

Although owning a primate sounds like you’d require the Zoo expansion pack, you can get these through the base game through the exotic pets menu. However, the third task of fathering triplets, although possible without any items, becomes much easier with the Golden Pacifier.

Be born a male in New York

The first task of the Professor of Cityburg challenge is to be born in New York. To do this, pick male as your starting gender, the United States as your birth country, and New York as your place. Having high smarts will help you get into university and become a scientist later, but it isn’t required for this challenge.

Throughout your character’s life, you’ll want to make sure they don’t commit any crimes or experience any unfortunate incidents. This’ll require a clean record so you can land the scientist job later, and staying healthy will make it easier to have children. You’ll also need a lot of money, as owning animals is fairly expensive.

Become a scientist

The easiest way to become a scientist in BitLife is to age up your character until they’re old enough to study a science-related degree in university. In this case, I chose biology before going for an environmental scientist position after graduation. Generally speaking, any job with “scientist” in the name will most likely work for this challenge.

To make it even easier, apply for a junior environmental Scientist role first. Search your job list, refreshing by closing the app if necessary, before applying for the position. From here, it’s just a matter of passing the interview, landing the job, and completing the second task.

Father triplets

Fathering triplets is one of two luck-based tasks in the Professor of Cityburg challenge. You have three methods of doing this:

• Use the Golden Pacifier
• Use IVF
• Natural reproduction

Natural reproduction is the least expensive but most challenging method of the three. Don’t be surprised if you go your character’s entire life without having triplets, especially if you get unlucky or don’t engage in special night-time activities with many people. When it comes to this, it’s just a matter of trying with as many people as possible and getting lucky.

Alternatively, you can go for IVF to raise your odds of having twins or triplets. Although it isn’t guaranteed, you’ll usually have at least one set of twins or triplets if you try it a few times. The only downside is how expensive it is, so tread carefully here.

Your last option is getting the Golden Pacifier through BitLife’s marketplace. It costs real money but guarantees you’ll get triplets on the first go. If you want to knock this one out quickly and don’t mind spending some cash, this is an option you can try out.

Regardless of the method, you’ll knock this objective out as soon as your partner births triplets.

Own a primate

Owning a primate is another luck-based task, as it revolves entirely around your chances of finding one in the Exotic Pet Dealer under Activities and Pets. Each time you check this shop, you’ll find a random exotic animal, to which you’ll buy it or exit the page. If it isn’t a primate, age up and try again until you see one.

For this particular challenge, you’re looking for one of the animals below:

• Chimpanzee
• Gorilla
• Macaque
• Squirrel Monkey

Regardless of the option, they’ll all be expensive, so make sure you save up some extra money. Once you find one, buy it to complete this next task.

Have a 100 percent relationship with a cat

Last but not least, this is one of the easiest tasks in this challenge, outside of the first one. Your first job is to get a cat, which you can do through the pet store, animal shelter, or cat breeder.

After buying one, spend time with it, give it treats, and go for walks to raise your friendship. Once you reach 100 percent relationship with your cat, you’ll officially complete BitLife’s Professor of Cityburg challenge.
