    I think sims player are desperate enough to have paid $ 80 for this game in pre-alpha.

    Just add mod support and release it unfinished. It’s Paradox - a triple A studio - it’s expected to be a buggy, unfinished mess.

      That’s kind of like Tiny Life. It is similar to the Sims but with retro graphics. Lots of people bought it as soon as it hit early access when a lot of core things were missing.

          I mean you aren’t too far off. Honestly I wouldn’t mind it. I would rather have a feature rich simpler looking game than something that’s fancy and shallow.

          I’d be more than impressed by something just basically recreates the original Sims experience.

            It’s a meta joke, since PZ often is called “The Sims but with zombies”, due to the art style and flexible decorative options.

              I mean it is though. And you can set your world settings to have as few zombies as possible.

                Kind of reminds me of how I played The Long Dark. I turned all of hazards to minimal and treated it like a walking simulator/exploration game
