![]() I'm not gonna lie and say LbY looks amazing as it is (it's still early stages, it seems) and the art/style of the game looks horrendous right now (I would've preferred a style that wasn't as 'realistic' - for instance, The Sims 3 is my least favorite in terms of design even Paralives is going for a more 'cartoony' one, similar to TS4 or TS2). I'm pretty excited about the game, but mostly, excited about it being an actual competitor to The Sims franchise. Instead of narrowing down on smaller stories, it goes wide and open. This is basically a spiritual successor to The Sims 3, going the opposite way of Sims 4. ![]() Kinda of crazy of them to basically ship player-friendly dev tools inside the game. So I wanted a competitor to The Sims, one that would be able to challenge it on its own turf. As for release, it'll be out in Early Access on September 12th 2023 on Steam and the Epic Game Store. You can swap control to anyone at any time and as shown in the recent announcement stream, you can even time-skip ahead up to a decade at a time if that's what you want. Basically the game comes with a full suite of modding tools built in.Īs for playing, there's no "rabbitholes" all buildings are open, no matter if you're going to work, going shopping, or just visiting the beach. ![]() The characters speak English and you can crate your own conversations if you need them to say something else. It's an Open World life simulator with built in editors for people, lots, objects, the world, conversations, and more. ![]() And with that, the gauntlet has ben thrown.
