While waiting for the upcoming The Sims 5, codenamed Project Rene, Paradox Interactive, the company that brought us games like Europa, Stellaris, and City: Skylines, is now developing a new life sim to rival the iconic franchise developed by Electronic Arts. Other than perhaps Paralives, there have been few attempts to replicate the magic that has dominated the genre since the original The Sims was released in 2002.

There are other things that look very Sims-like, such as modular building, relationships, and cooking.
