You saw a Live Action badge on a character card and wonder what it opens. It is a generated video scene of the character, animated by Candy, with a box to talk to her and a list of actions she performs. Nothing is filmed and nothing is streamed live. Actions unlock over nine levels. Access is part of Premium; climbing faster by skipping a level costs 10 tokens, then 15. Story pages and Shorts series are two other formats, often mixed up with it.
This page explains what the scene is, what is included in a plan and what costs tokens, how XP and skips work with the prices we paid, how live action, Story and Shorts compare, what gifts do, and which characters of this wiki have the badge. We paid one skip on our own Premium account and read the other prices on the buttons and on the subscriptions and tokens pages. Counts of characters come from the sheets of this wiki.
In short
- Live action is an animated scene of the character with actions locked over 9 levels. It comes with Premium.
- Levels rise with XP for free. Skipping costs 10 tokens to level 2 and 15 to level 3.
- 14 of the 259 characters on this wiki have live action; 12 of them also appear in Shorts.
- Shorts are episodic series paid per series. Story pages are a separate format with their own stages.
A video scene that reacts, not a film or a live stream
The name misleads, so start with what you see. The Live Action tab in the chat header opens a full-screen video of the character on the left, an "Ask anything" box, and a column of actions on the right. You pick an action, she performs it in the video, you type, she answers. The scene is generated for the character: nobody is filmed for you and nobody watches from the other side. Each action carries a level number; level 1 is open, the others wait for your XP.
The list goes from mild actions at the top to explicit ones at the higher levels, which is why our screenshots keep to the top of the page.
Is live action paid? Included in Premium, skips in tokens
The subscriptions page lists "Full Live Action Experience" among the Premium benefits, so the scene itself is not sold separately. What costs tokens is going faster: skipping levels, and gifts that move the relationship. The free plan has no token balance, so it cannot pay a skip.
| Free plan | Premium | Premium Plus | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Live action access | No | Yes | Yes |
| Levels by XP | No | Free | Free |
| Level skips | No | 10, then 15 tokens | 10, then 15 tokens |
| Tokens a month to spend | 0 | 100 | 330 |
Plan prices are in the pricing guide.
Nine levels: XP for free, skips for tokens
Levels exist to make you come back; skips exist for those who will not wait. Both reach the same actions, only the price differs.
Earn XP by interacting
Typing in the box and triggering open actions fills the bar. The target is 35 XP for level 2, then 70 for level 3. The XP per action is not displayed.
Or press Skip, then Confirm
The button shows its price. A first click turns it into Confirm at the same price, so a stray click does not pay. We confirmed once: the balance went from 280.2 to 270.2.
Watch the next price
Skip to Level 3 reads 15 tokens. We stopped there, so we do not quote the higher levels.
Skipping to level 3 in one evening costs 10 + 15 = 25 tokens, a quarter of the Premium month, for two of the nine levels. The same two levels by chatting cost nothing but time. Every other token price is listed in the tokens guide.
Live action, Story or Shorts: three formats compared
All three put a character on screen, which is why they get confused, but they work differently and are paid differently.
| Format | What it is | How you pay |
|---|---|---|
| Live action | A scene of one character with actions locked by level | Included in Premium; skips 10, then 15 |
| Story | Story pages of companion characters such as Anaïs and Elena, with locations and stages from Acquaintance to Soulmate | Skip to Acquaintance at 10 tokens |
| Shorts | Episodic video series with a synopsis, watched like a show | Per series, in tokens |
Live action is interactive and tied to one character; a Short is something you watch, episode after episode. Private packs, a fourth paid format of photos and videos, have their own private content guide.
Shorts: episodic series bought one at a time
Shorts is the video section in the left menu. Each series has a title, a category, a number of episodes and a synopsis, and a Continue watching row keeps your place. Prices show on each series page before purchase; we did not buy one, so we quote none. Sale banners appear on the page, with a deeper cut for Premium Plus members. Characters who appear in a series carry an In Series badge: 69 on this wiki, among them Alma Salas and Delilah Kane.
Gifts move the bar faster, at up to 999 tokens
The gift box next to the chat input is the other paid shortcut. Gifts raise the relationship bar, and the shop says large gifts come with free videos. Four tabs, Best, Romantic, Luxury and Spicy; prices read on our account run from a Red Rose at 5 tokens to a Yacht at 999, with a Bouquet of Roses at 25, a Giant Teddy Bear at 50, a Diamond Ring at 125 and lingerie items at 75 and 140. The relationship levels guide shows what the bar unlocks in the chat.
Which characters have live action on this wiki
Live action exists only on a short list of featured profiles. 14 of the 259 characters on this wiki have the badge: Alma Salas, Billie Dorn, Bree Whitlock, Darkangel666, Delilah Kane and 9 more. 12 of them also star in Shorts, Delilah Kane among them. Characters you build yourself never get it. The live action list gathers them on one page.

Pick one whose profile you already like in text: the scene adds video and actions, but the voice, the personality and the memory are those of the chat you already have with her.
