Looking into 2021, Sims may get competition in the future. For a long time, fans of Sims, Sims 2 and Sims 3 (and even Sims 4) have compared Sims 2 vs Sims 3 vs Sims 4, on features from babies to single items like cars, to even the Sim's personality. And with the Sims Twitter Revolution, we saw a call for the return of classic NPCs (everything from the Social Bunny to Agnes Crumplebottom and features like the color wheel). If one thing is clear, many have a long wishlist of what they want in the Sims 4.
I have argued for a long time that the Sims franchise needs competition-- and now I'll tell you the most likely competitors to make a life simulation game, from Paradox Interactive to even niche games like Animal Crossing and Bitlife, to the well waited, early development Paralives indie game. And to add into the mix, there's Will Wright and Proxi, as well as the new Never Forget Games Studio.
