I would like a mobile version of Sims with loot boxes.

And season passes. And a monthly subscription even for the base game.

For that you’ll have the Ultimate™ Edition. It has about 30% of total content.

Or just release a build mode only version of the game where the price on the cover is the true price.

You build your houses with toilets? Lame.

The timing of this makes me feel a joke I made about them only doing Sims 5 because Paradox was making a competitor might have actually been true. 🤣

I’m still on the Sims 3 because you can get it origin free still, but I feel like the Sims treadmill is just buying mostly the same game over and over. There’s a lot of franchises like that, but I feel like it’s a lot harder for a game like the Sims with the demographics it serves to keep creating reasons to upgrade.

So the Sims 5 was only in development because of that one competitor that recently got cancelled?

Life By You, published by Paradox was cancelled, for some undisclosed reason, not even to the developers themselves it seems. It was supposed to be close to release.

There are other life sim projects in progress (the indie Paralives I think is the one gathering attention right now).

All the footage we’ve ever seen of it was very frame-y, so I just assumed it was a technical mess that couldn’t be saved.

iirc we’ve known about Sims 5 since before PDX’s game got announced, but maybe not. The biggest competitor was always Paralives to me anyway, since it looks better and more polished.
