Paradox teases Life By You, a Sims-like game from Rod Humble

Expect to hear more about Paradox Tectonic's Life By You later this month

Paradox Interactive has today announced a new Sims-like game called Life By You, a game from Paradox Tectonic and Rod Humble, the former Executive Producer for the Sims division for EA and CEO of Linden Labs.

If the success of Cities Skylines has proven anything to Paradox, there is room within the games industry for spiritual successors to Maxis classics. The failure of SimCity 2013 left the door open for Paradox and Colossal Order to eat EA's lunch with Cities Skylines, and now the long life of The Sims 4 is giving Paradox enough space to create a competitor in the form of Life By You. 

Life By You is being created by Paradox Tectonic, a studio that was revealed by Paradox back in 2019. This studio is lead by Rod Humble, and the teaser trailer below showcases what his team at Paradox Tectonic have been up to. 

Based on the trailer above, Life By You looks a lot like The Sims, with characters interacting with their homes and driving to different destinations. We also get to see a grid system and a peek at building tools. Sadly, this trailer does not show us much, though we can expect to see more on March 20th, when Paradox plans to share additional information about the game.   

You can join the discussion on Life By You on the OC3D Forums.

I quite liked The Sims years ago but now it's a bit graphically dated. Someone else having a go would be interesting especially with modern visuals.Quote

I think a lot of people our age and older have great memories of the Sims. Dunno if you've seen what a cash grab it's become though since it went free to play. Someone on one of the gaming sites did the calculation of what it would cost to own the full package and it was eye watering. I think game + all expansions was 400 dollars or so and all items on top of that was something mental like 74k! lolQuote

74k cheap lmao

I don't mind DLC in general, but when the game is designed to be that way it shows, i guess it generally depends on just how much DLC they want to add, that train game comes to mind i'd never buy it.Quote

TBH I don't think a Paradox version will be any better for the amount of DLC, just look at the rest of their games.Quote
