✦ AI summary
Players appreciate the game's cozy life simulation features, including its conversation system, daily events, and charming artistic touches, with many excited about its early access potential and romance options. However, concerns center on significant bugs—particularly characters getting stuck in place during basic activities—and a shallow gameplay loop that lacks challenge and depth compared to other life sims. The game shows promise but needs stability fixes and more engaging mechanics to hold player interest long-term.
It's still too early. After 40 hours, I can only say that it's close, but far from playable. Building is especially buggy. I've gotten lucky on one house that's playable, but it's buggy. If you try to be creative with the "creative" tools, the game will eventually delete entire floors or ceilings, misread rooms, destroy stairs, relocate pillars. And all the lots are hard to build on, so you have to be persistent to an unhealthy ADHD level to even complete a proper build without bugged rooms, floors, doors, windows, curtains, etc. It allows you to be super creative, but you better have a lot of patience to match.1 found this helpful
the game barely works. i have 800 gb of free space and my game lags for 2 hours before loading and once in the game any action takes sooo long to load that you no longer want to play.1 found this helpful
its cute and fun and will only get better with time
Can't run on a Macbook I usually play The Sims 4 and although glitchy and laggy with some adjustment in settings its fun and easy to play! I CANNOT say the same for this game :( it took legit 1min for clicks to register and the video settings being adjusted barley helped... ALSO THE CAMERA CONTROLS UGHHH EITHER THE SENSITIVITY IS TOO LOW OR HIGH ! and AGAIN IT DOESN"T REGISTER SO OFTEN TIMES PANNING THE CAMERA TO AN EXACT SPOT ISN'T POSSIBLE... I KNOW MY OLD ASS MAC HAS BAD STATS BUT I CAN STILL PLAY MOST GAMES WITHOUT ISSUES ON LOW GRAPHICS. If you have a good computer this game is good but if you have an older system this game will not run properly
legit built my house one for one on this haha, its awesome!
i deleted the sims this game is that good
