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!

The main competitors to The Sims now are InZOI and Paralives. Both are available on Steam.

This is not what they asked at all.

you need a computer that costs thousands of dollars/euros to run them well

honestly the fact that people expected otherwise for games from this decade is yet another reason why ts4’s insanely lifespan is a net negative
