  The sims doesn’t really have any competitors though so idk what else you’d call a game that’s similar to it other than just calling it a digital fish tank

    I’ve heard “Life Sim” before.

    There are so many other ways to say it aside from trying to make a sentence like “It’s a The Sims-like”.

      Or just cut out the “The.” Like we really don’t need that in there, it just adds more to the word salad tongue twister.

      I don’t think everyone knows about the life sim genre, but most everyone has heard of, or played, The Sims, so it makes for a more attention grabbing headline. But yes, it is stupid.

        Then why not “X, a chaotic new game inspired by The Sims, …”? Lol
