Life By You. Looks like the Sims series is going to have some fresh new competition. I love that the life simulation genre is growing.

    I’m still surprised there hasn’t been more competition in this genre. Especially considering how much money there is to be made in it.

    Interesting. The first two (and to a lesser extent the third) The Sims games were a huge part of my childhood, I even had the PS2 version of The Sims, I would love to see a few different takes on the genre. I feel like a bit of competition is exactly what it needed.

    Hope it’s good, it’s by the same person who made simsz or one of the guys, something like that. Paradox is weird with microtransactions/DLC sometimes they make insane amounts that are completely unreasonable, then sometimes it’s still a lot but make more sense.

    I hope it turns out good. I played the Sims a loooong time ago and I’d love to play it again, but I don’t want to give money to EA.

    Sims 2 was peak sims. I played it for hundreds of hours. Then it started downhill with 3. Now I can’t even figure out what the fuck I’m supposed to do in 4 because there’s a million menus and it’s awful

    I’m curious to see if they will find a way to integrate it with City Skylines 2.

    Maybe you could mark a neighborhood in Skylines and build households in it with Life By You.

    How am I just hearing about this now?

    As someone who stopped at Sims 3, this doesn’t have to be perfect, it just needs to be be new and show some level of ambition.

    I will remind you all that this is being made by paradox…so it will likely have every problem that the sims 4 has…in that everything is dlc.

    Just make it one game please and not 156 different DLC. I was shocked to know all of sims dlc sums up to about a 1000$. Also a lot of space for AI integration in characters behaviour. Imagine deleting the stairs of swimming pool and the character gets angry, gets out via sides and bulldozes the pool.

    Don’t get your hopes too high up. It’s made by Paradox, which means its gonna be the same bare bone base game with million expensive dlc to make it a full game.

    With all due respect… the people who play the most Sims, for the most part, aren’t avid consumers of video games and games media. They’re not going to learn about other shit in the genre unless it blows up big time (see: Animal Crossing), which means a critical mass of popularity has to be reached, which indies rarely have access to.

    Good luck getting all the Sims players who spent thousands of dollars on the games to ditch that investment and move on to a different franchise.

    I think it’d literally be cheaper to buy a brand new gaming PC than the entirety of Sims 4, at this point.
