      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”.

          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.

          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.
