It’s not nearly as complex as it initially looks imo, but I also play with a million mods some of which make the game needlessly complicated so maybe the vanilla game just looks simple in comparison to me now lol
A game like the mainline Sims series, but better developed and without EA’s involvement. I’m aware there’s projects like Life By You and Paralives, but neither of those are publicly playable as of now, and until they release there’s no way to truly tell if they’ll actually be any good.
Although at this point I don’t think they can be much worse than the current status quo.
