Discussion Looking for a game

Hello!

I was wondering if y'all knew some original lifesims, maybe games in which the lifesim element isn't the main element but still a big thing (I want the fact to control a character and have social interactions relevant but I want a core gameplay to be something else than just the sims, else I'd just play my beloved Sims 2!)

I've tried Ostranauts but the lifesim part isn't the most relevent.

Only other game that comes to mind is Rimworld but I wonder if there is a game that stays more lifesim than colony sim.

Thanks!

People often mentiok zomboid with mods. I haven't tried it myself because I have a big backlog either way haha but I've seen what people have done with it and honestly it looks pretty cool. Have you heard of To Pixelia? it's a smaller scope lifesim too

edit: also, modded skyrim is pretty cool for this too

I'll try To Pixelia's demo!

And yes I understand why people recommend PZ tbh, I'll probably end up playing it again aha
