Sims franchise has a dedicated fanbase but they keep getting screwed by these insanely priced DLCs. I think people are hoping for a City Skylines scenario where another studio tackles the genre and adds mod/quality of life support.

Well let's hope it's not a Cities Skylines scenario because the second game is a complete shit show.

And even the first one has many issues.

Cmon man… Sure it had issues, but acting like Cities Skylines didn’t completely revolutionise city builders is insane.

I thought Life by You was trying to fill that gap.

With both that and Sims 5 (edit: oh an Paralives of course, was forgetting about that) on the horizon will this new studio be able to find its space in the market?

Guess more competition is always good, hopefully it doesn’t flop immediately.

It also feels like the Sim logic hasn't really changed in a while. They still do things like go upstairs to the bathroom to wash dishes
