I appreciate being able to talk about different life sims in one place such as Sims4, Paralives, and Life By You. Thanks for creating this community. :)

    True. I usually don’t mind if there’s enough time between the release of the base game and its DLCs AND the base game doesn’t feel like anything important was missing that the DLC would add. I like new content but not if it should’ve been in the base game instead. As long as the price is fair and not almost the same or even half of the price of the base game.

    And regarding the game you’re looking forward to, I agree. I’ve been looking forward to playing Paralives for years but it’s been a slow process (not that I’m complaining) so I’m looking forward to trying Life By You as it’s coming out soon(ish). It’s really nice to see more life sim games like these coming out. The Sims really needs some competition.

      They really do and it is nice that they finally getting it.

      And regarding Pardox base vs dlc while in hindsight you can definitely say some dlc content should have been base game. From my experiences their base games dose still offer a full scale experiences and it will be even more so if you come along from the beginning.

        I agree! I didn’t have any problems with the other Paradox games either, to be honest. And I like DLCs that don’t just add cosmetics, but new features / content as well.

        By the way, I just heard Life By You was delayed until 2024! :-/

          That sucks, at least a lot of other good stuff comes out this fall. And you know hopefully they use the time to actually improve the game.

            Yeah I’m sure they did it for a good reason! What other games are you looking forward to this year?

              Lots. Starfield, Citcities skylines 2, Forza Motorsport, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Lies of P, Baldur’s Gate 3, Hercule Poirot, Book of Hours, Stray Gods and Spider man 2 but I don’t have a PS5 so I will mostly just look at that one.

              How about you?

                Oh yes! I’m really looking forward to Cities Skylines 2 (btw if you haven’t already tried it, I’d recommend Workers & Resources!). I bought Baldur’s Gate 3 last weekend so I’ve been playing that. I want to try AC Mirage as well! And Starfield, too!

                Haven’t heard of Hercules Poirot and Book of Hours but I’ll have a look!
