There's also Paralives, which has been in development for several years and is being funded by Patreon contributions currently totaling over $37,000 per month. What's the pitch: A life sim with fewer guardrails on your creativity Sharable custom quests akin to community challenges.Characters communicate with real language, not a Simlish equivalent.Over-the shoulder view with direct WASD and mouse control of your characters.Here are the important features Life By You is touting: It's also got an over-the-shoulder view with direct control of your characters, and although I'm embarrassed to drool over something that's common in every RPG I play, I can't help feeling it'll grab me so long as the rest of the world winds up pleasant to look at. I'd rather not leave the burden of texture and reshade mods entirely on the community's shoulders. Aesthetic builds and beautiful creations are a huge part of The Sims community and I struggle to envision something similar forming around Life By You the way it looks now. The sticking point for me on Life By You is that it's a bit ugly-it's got big 'virtually staged Zillow listing' vibes. That freedom of creation is enticing, so long as it can grab and sustain players willing to feed each other new content. It's also going to be highly moddable, with scripting tools available to go so far as building your own jobs, objects, and maybe your own expansion. There will be a default spread of skin colors, sexualities, and other characteristics but you can tweak those yourself to create a world 'full of people who just fall in love with me,' or where other traits are predominant.

Humble talked about letting players get granular with the rules of their worlds, even.
