I made an account just for this. I too am a fan of The Sims, ever since the first game! EA has been treating the series as a joke lately and being disrespectful to long-time fans, not listening to feedback. What I mean to say, is that there are some of us who are starving for another company to take on the life simulation genre because we've grown to dislike what EA has done lately.



I have no illusions that it may take many years and many tries for someone to do this, to rival the Sims, but honestly, anything is better than having no one else trying it out. I'd be ready to give some money to fund this, if needed, through something like kickstarter. And I'm sure many others would as well. I'm sure many have the patience as well, to wait until you guys get the life simulation genre under your belt and refined.



I am curious however about what is Paradox's idea of life simulation... Did any of you guys play Sims and is this the sort of thing you mean? I've got no problem with it not being the exact same but considering you guys made a better Simcity than they did, well, I think some people want the same with The Sims.
