    That’s a shame. I do feel like Life By You is the Sims-style game I’ve heard the least about though

      Yeah, I hadn’t heard a lot about it. When they pushed back the first launch I was disappointed, when the second launch was postponed I was starting to expect a cancellation. It appears they just had too big a scope for the first time in the genre.

      Which of the alternatives do you like the best/have the highest hopes for?

        Maybe Paralives. I feel like it’s further out from completion than Tiny Life though and is going to require more time to become a polished product.

          It sounds like they’ve got a pretty small dev team, so I’m sure it’s going to take a while. Hopefully the wait will be worth it!

          I’m somewhat torn on what I would prefer these games to do. On one hand I would like it to be like the Sims, but better. On the other I would like them to carve out their own niche and go from there. Either way they go there will be people that are disappointed. I’m personally not a huge fan of the artstyle of Paralives, but good gameplay is almost always the deciding factor for me. I’m certainly willing to give it a try, if for no other reason than supporting alternatives.
