Fallout 4 Sims Game?

[pjedilord]

If the company decided to rival Sims 4 with Fallout 4 sim game like sims 4 but with
Fallout 4 features on deserted nuke city, would the game work? with
Fallout 4 characters? some Fallout 4 players play sims 4 and sure they would adore
to play SS and build buildings in the commonw meet Fallout 4 sims date and explore
in the Fallout world,and have DLC of other Fallout games?
Would the game sell well? Considering the company has sort of sim game and did well
surely Fallout 4 sim game would work?

Why would either company do this? Why would EA create a fallout Sims? I mean they love milking their audience for DLC cash but a post apocalyptic DLC would probably be pushing the boat out a few continents too far (gotta keep that age rating nice and low and the thermonuclear annihilation of most of our species has a tendency to spook the censors).
Why, in the name of all that is holy, would Bethesda want to directly compete with EA? Let alone the fing Sims. That's like competing with Ford GM, Microsoft (pre-breakup) and the Sineloa Cartel all rolled into one. Would you want to create a soft drink which had to directly compete with Coca Cola?

If it can make money they would, they have to be running out of ideas.
We have more new drinks trying to rival now.

By that logic, they should start making cigarettes. It'll make money. And why not get into real estate? There's big money in gambling. Fallout casino? There's a lore basis for that last one too.
And yeah, trying being the operative word.
EDIT: I don't know if you've noticed, but Bethesda actually ran out of original ideas a LONG time ago and it's not stopped them from making a crap load of money.

Actually I can not remember its name but I think a company did try something similar a few years ago where it was essentially a sim of trying to build and maintain a city in a post apocolyptic world. Of course they could not use the name fallout sims etc. for the game due to the IP of the fallout series and possibly sims not being theirs.

There´s Fallout Shelter.

Actually there has been quite a few recently in the last few years.
Endzone, Surviving the Aftermath, Atomic Society, Frostpunk, etc.

Frostpunk is rated pretty high, Surviving the Aftermath is still in EA I think, and the other two are mediocre.

Company could easy make Fallout building game based on the building in Fallout 4
But have more depth what can build. Maybe for Star Field?

We actually do not know @#$% about Starfield. However if I was to make a guess from the trailer it looks like it is going to be a Elite Dangerous or No Man Sky clone, which is very disappointing.
