The Sims 4 fans are going to have to wait a bit longer for Life by You

pcgamesn.com:

Life by Youis my most highly anticipated simulation gamerelease ever, perhaps even more so than The Sims 4 was for my past teenage self. Just like in EA’s own series, you can design fictional people and live out their days however you please in Paradox Interactive’s Life by You. From building homes to building relationships, you are in control of every aspect of an in-game individual’s life. I’ve been wanting a new experience like this for a while now, as have many fellow fans of The Sims, but it looks like we’re going to have to wait a bit longer as Paradox Interactive has announced a new early access date.

I have been counting down the days until the Life by You release datesince the game was first unveiled earlier this year. Prospective players were originally looking forward to an early-access launch this fall on September 12, but Paradox has chosen to push the date back a bit so as to better prepare the game’s exciting features. The new Life by You early access release is on March 5, 2024. As stated by the developers, “The additional time gives the development studio, Paradox Tectonic, the ability to improve the game’s visuals and UI.” 

By spending more time on such improvements, the devs hope to make the game “a more well-rounded experience for players.” They will also be “fine-tuning mod tools that will be available for all players to explore and create,” which is great news for those of us that highly value custom content and modding in The Sims games. “The player community is at the core of Life by You, and their feedback is the core to many of the positive changes coming to Life by You’s Early Access.”

I’m personally thrilled to see developers taking our hopes for the game and our feedback so seriously.
