ATRL Moderator Unoriginal Posted March 7, 2023 Author ATRL Moderator Posted March 7, 2023 i hope it's good but we have almost nothing to go on yet it looks like the sims 3 combined with those fake sims 5 trailers that popped up years ago. i'm by no means a sims 4 defender (haven't played in months) but the situation is completely different to simcity. that game killed itself whereas the sims 4 is the most successful game in the franchise. compare this to paralives, a life simulator which has shown off almost no life simulation and seems as far off from release as it did four years ago. it's still essentially a stylised character creator and ts4 already does that really well
I'm JAVIng Fun Posted March 11, 2023 Posted March 11, 2023 Hmm, so on March 20th we'll see that sims competitor?
Tiziano's Boy Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 Good luck trying to download The Sims 4 Growing Together if you're on the EA App on PC, it ain't working
DemnisBreezy Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 So the Life By You showcase will be in like 20 minutes from now. I hope it is good. By the way Growing Together is make zero noise, the game really is dead at this point.

The game has record high player numbers since the pack and Infants came out Like it beats most active player counts on Steam. You guys really don’t have any idea how massive the Sims 4 actually is which makes me laugh. It’s got over 50 Million players and that’s before it was made permanently free to play.

Also all those features that would be spread out through 29 expansion and gamepacks in the sims, they really are onto something. With the right polishing it could really challange EA for its throne or even kill the Sims and I'm here for it tbh

Right now it looks like sims 3 with better lighting but honestly I take it, if it runns well. Being more fun than what most of Sims 4 actually offers is not that hard after all. We'll see. It seems like you only get the preorder pack thingy if you order on Epic but I hate Epic and would rather use Steam for it
ATRL Moderator Unoriginal Posted March 21, 2023 Author ATRL Moderator Posted March 21, 2023 game looks ugly and literally just like the sims
Whis Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 Is the 'Growing together' EP worth it? I love family oriented gameplay.

Sombre Posted April 2, 2023 Posted April 2, 2023 i uninstalled it a few months ago and haven't had the urge to play it since. it lacks some of the magic that ts2/3 had that made you want to continuously play.
Navy4Life Posted April 2, 2023 Posted April 2, 2023 If they remastered and optimised TS3 that would immediately end all competition.
poki Posted April 2, 2023 Posted April 2, 2023 So: Paralives is a glorified Pinterest interior design simulator that will be released for open alpha in 3025 Sims 5 is also going for realism Life by You is aiming at GTA 5 role play servers with time skips Which means me and the occult stans are being laid in the grave P!nk_What_About_Us.mp3
