Why is there never a Fantasy style life simulator? Like DnD meets the Sims? With Elves and Dwarves and Orcs...

Okay, I'm going to get a proper gaming PC solely for Sims 4, Paralive, Life by You, Inzoi, Vivaland & Sims 5

It's so cool that they're releasing the Build/Buy gameplay for free 🥰

To be honest, the graphics in this game remind me of Life by You, but slightly better. However, I still don't find the visuals appealing, especially the water. I'll wait and see how it evolves, but currently, it looks as cheap as Life by You in terms of art style. Also This game appears to be mainly centered around multiplayer features and construction. Note that the game is scheduled to be released in Early Access this year, but we haven't witnessed much depth in terms of gameplay. The live mode hasn't been showcased much either. I apologize, but I'm quite wary of some of the life simulation games that have been announced.

I'm not really that interested in playing with others in the same world, but I see this as a great opportunity for build challenges among builder friends - and I do have those. Imagine everyone claiming a lot and completing a challenge build, then being able to tour each other's without the hassle of downloading them to your own world.

Glad it’s co-op at least you’ll have a choice. I remember hearing about this game and was also skeptical. Looking forward to seeing gameplay most of all. I like the graphics depending on what the characters look like ofc.

After everything that went on this week in S4, I got so excited. Then you said 'multiplayer'. Looks promising for those who are into that sort of thing, though.

Holy shit that water is so real

Definitely see potential in this simulation. We shouldn't call a game names and discredit the hard work it took to make a game 😊

Build mode is so Sims lookalike. I prefer Paralives. But the river wave looks so real that I prefer Vivaland.

Okay, I had heard of this game and already had it on my wishlist on Steam, but didn't know about the Dream House part, but then I think it was probably 6 or 7 months ago when I saw a video on it and wishlisted it, and I think they only announced the Dream House game in November so, I was a bit behind the news on it. For those wondering it does say it can be played in Single Player mode too, so you don't have to have any friends to play, which is good, since I don't know anyone who would play this kind of game with me, lol! I do remember being a bit concerned with the fact in their video with the people or Vivas, as they call their people, the two males looked exactly alike, which makes me wonder how customizable will the character creation be. I hope it's not like with Second Life or something, where you have a lot of clones, unless you buy addons ( in Second Life of course ) I would figure it won't be that way with this game once you buy it! If they improve on the characters I think this could be fun to play, the more life simulation games ( with actual characters that look human that is, not just you playing in first person and cleaning a house or something ) the better. With this and Life By You and Paralives, and possibly Inzoi too, we can have our choice of different Sim like games, without EA having anything to do with them, which is the best part about it all, to me!

You're not lying! This style is the perfect combo but reminded me of sims 2 bcs it looks 'thin' but looks good

I'm done buying TS4 packs. I'm looking forward to the new life sims coming out

Another ☝️ *DJ Khaled voice* 😊 I am here for all these new sims like games.

Any life simulation game that has multiplayer puts me off ngl

They did create a multiplayer mod for The Sims 4, but I'm not sure if they have the qualifications or enough resources to make a full game. I'm also unsure about the size of their team. It's hard to form an opinion on Vivaland since we haven't seen much from them yet, and their game will be in early access this year.

I'm personally not interested in multiplayer life sims, BUT this sounds like a competitor to Sims 5 and I'm soooo here for it.

every year somebody popping out with a new life sim

Will definitively give it a shot 👌 nothing to lose 💯

I’m excited for this game. I love the graphics too.

I'll play the demo because LBY hasn't come out with some kind of demo to keep us busy. I probably won't be getting this game mainly bc I'm not interested in multi-player these days.

All i seen were the waves and I immediately went; "gimme gimme gimeeeeee!" Feels like a mix of Sims 3 with sims 4 buildin'. I'm in love~

OMG Thanks for sharing! I'm downloading this today!

I CAN ACTUALLY PLAY THE EARLY ACCESS :'D

I'M EXCITED TO PLAY THIS GAME!!!

Seems like a good game

I guess we are really entering the era of life sim games

I cant wait to play this game it looks beautiful, especially the water.

I’m kinda overwhelmed with all these simulation games coming out

I see the potential and the graphics look amazing.

This is extremely aesthetically pleasing.

Wow! I blew this off when I first heard about this several months ago, and was sure it was nothing. Looks extremely promising. My main concern is how is this going to affect Paralives. I hope it doesn't have any impact on its development. What I wish I did know is how this is affecting the Sims. Is it the appearance of Paralives, Life by You, Inzoy and now Vivaland the reason for the in game shopping cart. Is EA trying to squeeze every eent they can before "it" hits the fan. What about project Rene? Will EA press Maxis for a much earlier release? Plenty of drama, I am sure, in the next year.

I want this game ❤

Damm it's coming out this year ok I can't wait to see more of it.

I realized we are all trying to find another life simulation game that will fill the void that the EA has left intentionally.😢

The meals are soooo good. ❤

🎊Finally, you've taken notice of Vivaland, Matt!🎉 I've been recommending you make a video about this game for so long. In my opinion, it's a very promising game! 😃

9:57 you should look up vector graphics and teach yourself why they can be endlessly scaled up

ouuu looks so good

I would love to try just because, but it's not even available for Mac. :(

I do like some of the graphics in this game but it still doesn’t look like something I would be interested in. I do like the look of Inzoi and I’ll be keeping an eye on that one and will definitely get Paralives after it’s released. I do like Life by You and am keeping an eye on how they are progressing. They definitely need to improve their humans. There seems to be no life in their facial features and I still don’t like the bodies but we’ll see how they look on early release. As much as I hate some of the things that EA does, I still love TS4. Not spending any more money on the packs (with the exception of the crystal pack) but they’re still my go-to game.

I just want someone to create a game if GTA and the Sims had a baby!!!! I want to be able to drive around and shop, be a bad guy and raise a family….is that too much to ask for? Lol

It's very promising, it is really promising. The building and arranging furniture are intuitive and let you get settle in quickly. Choice of styles is decent (altough you always want more hehe) and the freedom of building is quite good. I can't get my lamps to illuminate my rooms, even if I switch time, they don't seem to turn on at all ? At least I don't see any difference in brightness or illuminated / shady areas througout the house.

not me going straight to steam while watching this on march 3rd and downloading it lol

As someone who does build a lot in Sims I'm pretty blown away by this pretty soon it's going to be bye-bye Sims 😅 I can't wait to see how the eventual gameplay will work...

So, if you usually play solo, can you make friends to play with or do you have to play with people you already know?

Woohoo! 😻

Ouuuu, this is brand new to me!! There are so many life sim games coming out that I know will give The Sims the jolt they need to step up. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I'll check it out and hubby and I will check out Factor also. 🤗

Actually there are two sim like games coming out which is so much better then vivaland they are life by you and alterlife

I got a free factor box and I can't wait to get it the meals sound so yummy

I will try factor meals thank you

I sub just found your channel 😊

Im ready for a life sim game that has DIFFERENT gameplay than the Sims.

I saw the pic of I guess the characters/avatars and became excited. I wanted to see them. Because at the end of the day the characters are what's going to draw ppl in. I mean can't be a life simulation game without the simulated life. Still very happy that you brought it to our attention. Because I had zero clue. Thank you for the update. 😊

I'm so glad Vivaland is alive and well! I remember seeing trailers early on, then nothing. Thanks for bringing it back to my attention! Looks great!

Inzoi will be a leader

My only problem with the coop part is the trolls. If you play with friends and you do not know them well some may sabotating your project. If the game is entirely singleplayer or single plus have multiplayer option to play then it is an ideal game. Looks good but of course there are things what could be better and needs improvements. At this point everything is a pros if you want alternatives for the Sims and the competition on this hopefully will raise the quality aswell.

Multiplayer Sims games will help to ensure that I have funds for my retirement! (Thank you for letting us know :) I realize that some people are looking forward to it, but multi-player is not for me.

i love this... i love those furniture pieces (especially the corner couch) and the lines that help you align windows to the same height. i hope we are able to take builds we make in this beta and use them in the full release version of the game edit: oh my god the pillows on the couches...... they ate i'm so much more excited for this game the more i watch you build here

I'm not really interested in a multiplayer life simulator. But for those who are, that's good for them. If it's not always online, I may take a look though.

Finnaly you / someone coverez it Ive been pestering all you sim players to review this 😂

As cool as this is, if I hear of another life sim coming out. I’m going to jump out of a window. But aside from that this sounds fun. I’ve always wanted to try a multiplayer sims so this is deff on my wishlist

But can you build a family with a friend on the game

Genuine question why are people so hung up on co-op and multiplayer? I hope it’s just as good for solo players

So is this a dollhouse building game?

Why are all of the videos of the Dream House demo just narrated speed builds :/

i've had the game on my wishlist for a while, i had no idea it was coming so soon! i've been really looking forward to this one, it has a lot of promise. tho idk why we're all saying this looks better than LBY visually??? i have zero bad things to say about the build showcase, it looks pretty good, but the surrounding environment looks strange and so does the lighting. i don't even know how to describe it, it just looks wrong. hoping that this is all fixed up by release i will say tho, that water looks really nice. very unrealistic in how it moves (the flow is way too aggressive for a river, the movement here is more akin to the ocean) but it does look really cool. this is such a strange critique to give but video game water is an obsession of mine lol

This was the light at the end of the tunnel after what EA has done with the Sims 4

So, life sims are the trend now?

I like what we can see of the graphics, although I really want to see the characters in-game as well before I decide how much I like it. I'll definitely try out the build demo, at least. If we've learned anything over the past week (year, really), it's that EA needs competition. The sooner TS4/Rene is not the only choice out there, the better.

"wow. you don't say..."

The build / buy looks like it needs a lot of work.

I actually love the art style and i don't get how people find crappy para lives appealing over this. Para lives looks like a child's mobile game. The characters in vivaland are what life by you characters should have looked like.

I played it and didn’t care for it but I am NOT a builder. I’d rather play with the vivas than some houses 🏠. I wish the released the vivas along with the building.

I won't be buying this because I have no one to play with. But I'm excited to try the demo tomorrow

omg so early

Looks like a good idea but the coop is an immediate nah for me wish them all the luck tho 😊

Ever player is different, but I see not a lot potential in Vivaland and Paralives because the looks "too clean" ...... I just want more. The life simulations that looks interesting for me are: 1. The Sims 5 .... because it's possible to use custom content and script mods 2. Life by You .... I have heard that it will be possible to use custom content and script mods 3. Inzoi ... it's something new and could be intersting to see a game made of people from a total different cultural background, and if it's free to play I will give it 100% a try 4. Project Rene ... not much is know and that makes it interesting, also I trust in Maxis/EA to deliver a working game

Well if this is coming out then maybe Sims 5 won’t be multiplayer like many have speculated

Literally everyone is challenging The Sims franchise 😂. EA is shaking even more than a Karen at a BBQ cookout with black people

EA... unless you truly listen to the wishes of you players base... you're toast.

To clarify for those who don't know the difference between "coop" and "mmo". Coop means its a single player game that has the option to invite friends to play with. An mmo is a game where everyone is forced to play on a single server/world together. This game is confirmed to be coop NOT mmo. So stop with all the "multiplayer will ruin this" nonsense.

I like the buildings but I find the characters from the trailer seem so generic looking and uninteresting that it's not overly appealling to me

I have ZERO desire to decorate with friends. It's so bizarre to me that this is the trend now with these types of games. Who are these people? (Must be teenagers.) I'd be making enemies if my friends tried to decorate with me... I would straight up tell them if something looked like crap and change it.

Pixelade when Vivaland makes multiplayer: "yaaay it's amazing, what a good news" the sims 5 make it: " I hate it". Btw the art style looks cheap and bad like "life by you" (maybe a little better) but still not great. Looks to anonymous and plasticky. I love life is strange (my favourite game) and this looks nothing like that

The way it still snaps without the grid looks so annoying

so we can all agree the Sims is about to lose to it's younger competitors

you didn't mention inZOI at all, it's coming out early access Q4 of this year as well

that ui looks exactly like paralives' ui.... i don't like that tbh

The art style is getting a thumbs down

It's funny to think that all these new life simulator games come from the disappointments people have from The Sims 4

It looks ehhh there’s nothing interesting or unique about it feels lifeless

life by you, paralives and this piece look the same to me

why does everyone hear “multiplayer” and panic if you wanna play alone, do that but it being a multiplayer or co-op game probably won’t make the game any worse than the sims and y’all play that 💀

this game doesn’t look beautiful for me and I don’t like idea to play with friends.

Eh sims is better still for me.

For me as well, this art style is good, not too realistic, not looking like the sims 3 or LBY weird old pixelated and saturated graphics... its just perfect... I looked at the water in the background and wow, I am impress, also by the grass, much better than any other sim games out there or in developpement imo. Now, character creation will be very telling and animations quality for me. We all know LBY animations are 💩They can improve, but they still dont have a lot of time to do so, and the graphics is just not it at all, plus the dizzy purple UI, its a no no for me 🤢. Paralives is a special one, I am not crazy for the art style but prefer it to LBY for example, and the weird titootitoo cute language and coffee vibe game dont stick with me, its too cutesie imo... I love what I saw as gameplay footage possibilities, they are not copying the sims and its refreshing, but not sold on that one either. Now I am very intrigued by Vivaland...

sadly the graphics is not my type of thing, not interested :/

So, I have this thing with angles that I feel discomfort if they look too sharp. And this game is triggering that discomfort. So, yeah, not a fan at the moment.
