So the Sims 5 was only in development because of that one competitor that recently got cancelled?

Which competitor?
Life By You, published by Paradox was cancelled, for some undisclosed reason, not even to the developers themselves it seems. It was supposed to be close to release.
There are other life sim projects in progress (the indie Paralives I think is the one gathering attention right now).
All the footage we've ever seen of it was very frame-y, so I just assumed it was a technical mess that couldn't be saved.
Paradox is the mess that can't be saved, they just wanted to rush that thing but after the heat they took from Cities Skylines 2 they got cold feed and just cancelled everything.
It was a damn shame since it was being made by the producer of Sims 3 too, very ambitious, was quite ugly but that's what early access was for anyway.
The timing of this makes me feel a joke I made about them only doing Sims 5 because Paradox was making a competitor might have actually been true. 🤣
Wasn't the Paradox one canceled too?
Yes, that's what they're saying.
Yeah; that's why they cancelled this one. Don't need it anymore lol
When the Sims see a major incoming market crash before humans.
I would like a mobile version of Sims with loot boxes.
And season passes. And a monthly subscription even for the base game.
I'll buy that for $500
For that you'll have the Ultimate™ Edition. It has about 30% of total content.
Nah, it has 100% - of the first season and until the shop refreshes.
Or just release a build mode only version of the game where the price on the cover is the true price.
Why not fifteen dollar toilet color skins?
You build your houses with toilets? Lame.
I’m sorry that I play The Sims differently then you do.
One of my favorite Sims ~~torture chambers~~ housing projects was a spiral with espresso machines at each corner. In the middle was one toilet. I invited all of the neighbors over and watched the chaos unfold.
