Sadly, I don't see InZoi being a competitor for Sims for as long as the hardware requirements are so high. I'm still holding out hope that Paralives will be the saviour we need.

The Sims 4 is straight up theft imo. Been waiting for an alternative for years because I refuse to buy any of EA's crap any more.
Depending on how you feel about sailing, there's some decent "third party acquisition options" for the sims 4 that work with the official stores. I have the complete collection on steam, didn't pay a dime.
How do you mean? I know it's pretty standard to pirate the Sims games because of their dlc costs, but I don't know any way to get it legally and on steam.
I didn't suggest legal; I said "third party".
"anadius (dot) su" has unlockers for the sims 4 DLC and an updater app to download it. Obviously downloading copyrighted material over clearweb is risky, use a VPN or at the absolute least some kind of proxy.
Trying to eat Sims lunch? This shit should come basic. If Inzoi outcompetes Sims then that's solely on EA.
I think that's the point? The base game is going to have a ton of shit that EA charges $10-20 for
The Sims 4 model is rotten to the core.
Absolutely. Fuck EA.
My only worry with this game is how boring it may or may not be. Sims is goofy and silly and has a lot of weird stuff happening but I still can't help but be as bored by its day to day grind as I am with real life.
If someone makes a good mod that allows me to be a serial killer maybe this will be peak.
It looks very promising for sure. I'm more excited for Paralives personally, but either way I'm glad to finally see some actual competition for The Sims.
