The Sims Is About To Get Some Competition From Life By You - Kotaku

This is Life By You, an “upcoming, moddable life-sim” being made by Paradox Tectonic:

While it might look initially like it’s cutting very close to Maxis’ cloth, Paradox say the big draw here is that Life By You is going hard on creation and customisation suites (harder than The Sims goes, anyway), letting players shape not just their appearance and homes, but their careers and conversations as well.

Be in total control of the humans that you create, the towns that you build, the stories that you tell.

We know life is always better with a heavy sprinkle of your imagination, so we’re empowering you with a wide variety of Creator Tools so you can design your lives the way you see fit – or break the rules of life itself.

Designed to be one of the most moddable and open life-simulation games, we look forward to the humans, stories, and creations that you’ll make with Life by You.

Life By You is for the PC only, and will be entering Early Access (on both Steam and the Epic Games Store) on September 12.
