In 2023, The Sims™ 4 became the most widely played game in the 23-year history of the franchise.

The Sims will be confirmed dead in less than 24 hours.
Who wants to take bets?



Meanwhile, the undercooked trash known as Life by You just got delayed until June.

Aaaand it's a facebook game.

UI looks like babies first Simulation game where you click on cards to advance things followed by obnoxious sound effects. This is the exact kind of thing I would expect in a mobile game for teenage girls with the attention span of a gnat.

Way to kill any hype and expectations for your game, pussies.

Life sim genre is cursed.

Nobody ever really tried to enter the genre and compete, giving Maxis carte blanche. They introduce bug after bug and have zero urgency to fix but the most crippling of them. Nickle and diming their customers because they know the can. Then what happens when someone does offer an alternative? It looks like total dogshit, is pozzed enough to make the Maxis devs blush, and will most likely be a buggy, money grubbing mess on release. Yes, it is indeed cursed.

LBY and Paralives are both pozzed in their own separate ways. But everyone in the life sim fandom is shilling Paralives right now because they've been served shit for so long that they don't even remember what a next generation Life Sim was supposed to look like (hint; paralives isn't it, and it is not even close).

We knew what the genre needed sometime around the end of The Sims 3. Before anyone knew what The Sims 4 would be we had the power of our imaginations. It was supposed to be an advanced mix of the best features from The Sims 2 and Sims 3 with more maturity, realism, and deeper simulation. But instead they'll be clicking conversation cards and selecting level ups for their "Para's" in Paralives while thinking it's worlds better than The Sims 4, when in reality it is just a side-grade. A different flavor of the same shit. There's nothing in that gameplay video that you can't already do in The Sims 4 but they are too stupid and dumbed down by this point to see it.

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
It's life changing because it makes darker people just a tiny little bit closer to whites, which removes a little bit of their natural savagery. They should feel blessed.

The amount of propaganda in an average Sims trailer is off the charts. Other than that, it looks the new "world" is another city. Also, the new death appears to be from heartbreak.

I remember when Sims used to have expansions about operating your own business, going to university or on vacations, introducing pets, seasons and stuff.
Now it got expansions about... renting and going on dates?

Yeah, they introduced all that stuff a long, long time ago. When they release an "expansion" now, it's always a stretch. Also, they have "game packs", "stuff packs" and recently introduced "kits". Kits are 5 usd each and they usually release two at a time, once a month or so.

Even by Sims 4 standards this looks like TRASH


When I have fantasy about boobies, then it's sexist.

When they have fantasy about world where all female character are fat, but always have latino lover, then this is socially acceptable.
