Finally a game that looks like The Sims.

[Chris Tohsaka]

Just like the title said.
I kind of like The Sims, but I refuse to get The Sims 4, because of every paid DLC.

I hope this company wouldn't go that way.
But for now, better graphics and lt looks better then The Sims 4.

Let's see how it goes after EA.

After finally playing, I agree though I'd also argue that this game is pretty distant from The Sims and has its own elements.
Great great game, just extremely lacking in a lot of areas.

Since it's still in EA phase, i'm not gonna buy it. But I will keep my eyes on this game.
And see how it's going to development, But i'm pretty sure I will get it when it's fully finished. And it's not going to be like EA every DLC is 20+ dollar or so.

It wont be getting DLC like a Sims game.
They have basically bullet proofed themselves from that by allowing people to make literally anything and then share it via the in-game thingamajig.

just wait a few months and this will surpass the sims.

Still waiting for the "no auto-age" option like the Sims then I will buy it immediately

Even given its (in certain aspects) bare-bones state and different art direction, from the 8-ish hours I've been playing this game I'd argue it already surpasses The Sims, or at least TS4 (AKA TS$). InZoi has something the TS series hasn't had in well over a decade which - assuming the game continues to progress steadily - should already have EA facepalming itself: modern, innovative customisation options and user-driven content creation, right out-of-the-box. With (at least) 2 other life-sims apparently slated to release this year also looming over them, I'd say the writing's on the wall for the 'Department of Simlish Affairs'.

I agree and to add TS4 is riddle with bugs. But still waiting until the no-aging option is added.

Fair call. I'm missing that option too, but for now I'm having fun playing around with what is available (and thanking the silicon gods it runs on my 'ancient' machine).

The Inzoi early access game has lots more to offer than TS4 had at launch. If the road map is to be believed, the gap between the two games will only widen.

Well, from my limited understanding of their road map going forward, a lot of content is going to be free. I think they'd have a lot of trouble convincing PTSD ridden The Sims players into buying content in all fairness.

This is the general consensus I’ve seen.
Foundation is great… but there’s not much beyond that.
Personally, I’m gonna wait and see if some more “wackier” content gets added, like being able to construct elaborate, and potentially lethal, obstacle courses for the Pizza Delivery person to go through to get to the front door.

Thanks for the info, now I have another reason to wait for this game to get out of EA. And might buys it.

So far 'graphic wise' it's already surpassed The Sims.
And if they aren't gonna make 100'ish paid DLC it's another win for them.

Yep, I agree no auto age is a very important option.
