Life By You, Paradox's upcoming Sims-alike, is headed to early access in September.
earlier this month, with the promise of a fuller reveal set for a livestream on March 20. Today is the day, and we've now got a clearer picture of what's in store: Paradox says that Life By You will be"one of the most moddable and open life-simulation games" ever made.
One big difference between Life By You and The Sims is that players will be able to shift from third-person to"direct control gameplay," which Paradox claims will enable players to connect with their in-game avatars"on an emotional level.
Modding is a big deal in The Sims 4, and Life By You aims to go even deeper into that aspect of the game: Players can design, build, and furnish their own homes and businesses from scratch, craft their own in-game conversations, and use the"Human Creator" to make their own unique characters with"deep personality and character traits," Paradox says. Life By You will also offer a set of Creator Tools that will enable players to develop their own mods for in-game content.
"The game’s extensive customization tools allow for unparalleled levels of storytelling, and I can’t wait to see what creations players come up with once they dive into Early Access," Humble said. Rod Humble knows a thing or two about Sims-style games. Prior to taking the helm of Paradox Tectonic in 2019, he spent several years as the head of EA's Sims label, before leaving the company in 2010 to join Second Life developer Linden Lab. Given that, it's not terribly surprising that Life By You looks more than a little Sims-like, but it also seems set to distinguish itself by taking a more realistic approach to life simulation.
