Didn't see one already so I wanted to make an unpopular opinion thread for discussions on Project Rene and the other upcoming life sim games.

I really wish that were the case for me
My unpopular opinion is that I'm not freaking out about the free-to-enter/play business model.
My Families Via PlumTree App
Have not seen enough about it to form any deep opinions and it's too early to mull over what may or may not be.
Paralives: I honestly don't believe it's a real game. I think the devs are selling a dream to desperate simmers and it either will never come out, or release many years later without being half of what the sims is.
Life by you: uhhhhhhh..... idk how to put this nicely so I won't say much but... 😅😅😅 it's just very very badly made, to a point I still can't believe they released that last video. I watched it multiple times just to be sure if what I was seeing was true.
And my back still hurts from the way that character watched the action movie poised at the edge of the couch with the 2d picture stuck on the screen and his feet sinking into the floor. And the way the videos are constantly cut or fast forwarded to hide how bad it is. There is no transition between animations and they tried to be so generic that there is no style or individuality. So even the girls walk in a weird gender neutral way that looks super unnatural. But one of the most shocking things was the conversation between characters because that was advertised to be a unique distinctive feature that I initially found very interesting. Now I see why they don't show us a nice 5 or 10 min video focusing in the dialogue features.
I would cut them a break if it was a tiny team like paralives but I was under the impression that this is a pretty big known company?
I could point out 100 off things about it in a single video. And if sims 4 did any of those things simmers would be coming for the devs in outrage. But life by you gets praised for those things. Really weird. Life sims are possibly the hardest most complex games to do well so I try to take that into consideration.
Anyway, don't come for me 😅😅😅 this is my unpopular opinion. And nobody is wrong for liking or enjoying whatever they enjoy! 🥳
With that said, I have returned to Sims 3 until Life by You releases in September. Then, the EA app will probably be getting erased from my PC.
Life by You: I'm not interested because I can't see how that game would give me more. It looks SO BAD I want to scream at my computer.
The game might be overly inclusive of gender and society roles so much that it might feel unrealistic for a lot of players.
Was there a recently released video with additional gameplay footage? I'll have to check it out!
From what I remember in the original announcement, the graphics didn't blow me away but know they weren't final.
As a TS3 lover, I am very intrigued by LBY so hopefully this new footage doesn't also repel me
• I have no interest in other life simulation games besides The Sims
• I have no interest in TS5 if its the same old packs for 5th time kind of game 4times is enough, really.
• I have no interest in game without occult
and no amount of customization tools is gonna change that
• in short I remain uninterested in whatever it is unless theres dragons on my screen
• I don't actually want them to add any of the old premades if they make new iteration of sims because their lore is spaghetti already I would rather have new families and new stories to play after ts4

Life By you is still in early access,and it looks like they're working on improving the graphics. Besides,good graphics don't always make a great game. Untitled Goose Game had mediocre graphics,but quite a few people still loved it and played it. Gameplay is what should be important to a game; if a game doesn;t have enjoyable gameplay,then why should people play it? Look at Anthem: From what I heard,it has great graphics,but the gameplay is bad. As long as Life By You has great gameplay,I'll play it.
If you keep an eye on their YouTube channel they post videos fairly often. The latest being the 30sec. Conversation. The worst being (in my opinion) the manage needs video.
There is no reason to wait for 5, 10 or 15 years for a full game with pets, seasons, tropical paradise, snowy, mountain, ...
Everything is already available in The Sims 4, just Maxis need to go further NOW !
I mean I have been waiting for this content since 2006 so it's now with TS4 or never !

The Sims 4 General DiscussionI love the sims 4, but the engine isn't very good, so now with all the content installed it doesn't run as well. I think that is why people are excited for new games, becuase they might have better foundations. No matter what sims 4 adds, they are still limited by the game engine unfourtunatly, so I don't know how much longer they can keep adding stuff to the game. I'll still play it anyway since I still play 2&3, they don't stop being good just cos a newer game is made.
There is no limit to the content (CAS and B/B), the game is already able to manage tons of CC.
Even if the engine can't handle more features and complex gameplay like Bust The Dust, it should still work well with simple gameplay/premium item like Hot Air Balloon, Pinball or Slot Machine.

The Sims 4 General DiscussionThe Sims FreePlay designed as a PC game by Firemonkeys Studios would be better for me than The Sims Project Rene and the other games.
From what I saw, Firemonkeys Studios is very creative.

The Sims 4 General DiscussionSea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
Paradox is probably working on lip movement already. Life By You is still being worked on,and it's not going to have a whole lot of things yet.
That may be, but talking is still text dialogs.
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
Maybe Life By You will do what the classic game Tomodachi Life did: Have both voices and text speech. It worked for Tomodachi Life,and it could work for Life By You as well.
I'm probably going to buy Sims 5 and keep being a Sims fan, and I can't wait for everyone who doesn't like Sims anymore to move on to LBY and Paralives.
