It's officially November 2024, and in a year when we were supposed to have at least two contenders vying for The Sims' life simulation throne, EA's long-running series continues to stand alone—with Paradox's Life by You brutally cancelled at the finish line, and Krafton's Inzoi delayed to March 28 next year.
I struggle to think of any other series that has gone nearly 25 years nigh uncontested, and yet The Sims continues to reign purely by virtue of being the only one of its kind. This was supposed to be the year of a new generation of life sims giving EA a run for its money, dammit! But it's not, and I'm beginning to wonder if it'll ever happen.
