Since The Sims came to the world of video games, there has been no other life simulator that can stand up to it. The possibilities offered by the Maxis title are endless (especially with all its expansions), so there are many users who are eagerly awaiting the next installment scheduled for 2024. But, what if an opponent came to his height?
Life by You, the life simulator
From one of the directors of the original The Sims, Rod Humble, comes Life by You, a life sim that’s undeniably a lot like The Sims. The reason is that the general director of Paradox Tectonic was the director of the original The Sims project, so as you can imagine, the similarities that we can find will be many.
In principle, the trailer that they have published reveals very little, but we can see how we will be able to manage the interior of a house and control the lives of the characters who live in it. Several plans show that the exterior They could have a lot of prominence, something that in The Sims has always been quite limited. We could be talking about a great alternative to The Sims.
For example, we can see a mountainous area where exercise or hike, as well as a beach area where you can practice rowing and water sports. Also a camera plane follows a vehicle, so the means of transport could also be key in the world of Life by You, so we could be talking about a huge open world to move around, and not just simple transitions that move your character from one place to another. We’ll see if we succeed in our bets.
When is it going to be released?
At the moment the game is in the development phase, and the first details of its launch will be announced on March 20 in a live streaming to discuss the game in depth. Taking into account that The Sims 5 might not arrive until the summer of 2024the Paradox Tectonic team may still have enough time to finish their game in peace.
And it is that in the absence of seeing what they have prepared for the 20th, for the moment they have shown much more than what we have been able to see of The Sims 5, so the development seems to be quite serious. Do you think it will manage to overshadow The Sims 5? Let’s remember that EA’s future proposal will allow cross-platform play, so we can continue our game on mobile, something that will be especially interesting for those who cannot be separated from their Sim for even a second.
