Cozy Grove is really fun. It is like Animal Crossing in that you play a litte every day. You help ghost bears "go gold", basically helping them work through the issues that are keeping them here. The life sim elements including fishing, digging up nuts (what kind depends on the time of year), treasure map pieces and coins, raising animals (birds, cats, squirrel like creatures and deer), cooking and feeding the resulting food to the animals (each of them tell you what they want in a thought bubble) to get resources from them, collecting shells, catching bugs, etc.
Does Spiritfarer count as a "life sim"? If it does, it is another really good one. You're a spiritfarer, you take souls to the afterlife after helping them finish whatever unfinished business they have. In between, you take care of crops, fish, smelt metal, make fabric from cotton, wool and silk, mine, chop down trees, cut them into planks, etc. You do all that to make houses for your guests and then upgrade the houses as their needs change. You also cook because they get hungry and you have to feed them to keep them happy. They all have a favorite type of food as well.
Both are sad at times but also have a lot of sweet moments too. Great games.
The Elder Scrolls. Likely for the same reasons that the fallout folks love fallout. So much to do, see and kill in those games. I do the main quest unlike a lot of folks but I remember living as a traveling merchant in Oblivion and a werewolf vigilante in Skyrim. I’m going to miss Shouts in the next game. I sorta hope for settlements (building mechanic) in the new TES. Especially since there is always one city that gets burnt to the ground.

More indie games published by SOEDESCO on PS5 in physical release, Garden Witch Life. 😃
This year we will get some cute cozy games published by SOEDESCO.
Those games that I really need for my PS5. 😊
My mood with Youtubers Life 2 PS4 is back after I played the game on PS5 machine and it got stable performance 60 fps and faster loading time.
To prevent corrupted save data that I have ever experienced, I will copy the save data of Youtubers Life 2 PS4 on my flashdisk since PS4 save data can be copied.
I worked so hard to get Diamond rank YouTuber and still keep going to Platinum rank.
Started playing Sims 2 last night and what a great game. I never played Sims 2 before. When it first came out I was so invested in the first game that I didn't want to play 2 especially since I just bought most of the expansions for Sims 1. Also I figured that why buy 2 when there's not much difference between 2 and 1. Boy was I wrong. It seemed that every little thing that annoyed me in Sims 1 is gone in Sims 2. It almost like 1 was a beta version of 2. I can see why 2 is often regarded as the best one in the series.

I've been playing Hello Kitty Island Adventure. From what I've seen in reviews, the biggest complaint against the game is that it forces you to wait real days to do a lot of things instead of e.g. letting you play for 10 hours straight every day to finish everything. This does feel odd compared to animal crossing, but It's actually really nice in a way. It stops you from getting too obsessed while still being relaxing.
@FishyS
Is that so for Hello Kitty Island Adventure IOS version?
It was totally fine and safe for me to do time travel in ACNH.
I did hundred times for ACNH just for adjusting the time I want to play when I have to play at night or I really want to exploit the items by repeating the same days anytime I want.
That's why I like ACNH.
Hoosha!
I'm in the mood with Fantasy Life I so far.
I have accumulated for more than 70 hours gameplay on my PS5 machine.
I still have a lot of things to do to unlock 5 stars Marco's shop to get more DIY recipe that I really want to get more furnitures and house exterior redesign.
I love the ACNH part which you can have a village from the ruin area with terraforming mechanism like ACNH but faster and better.
I wish the island size is bigger and the maximum capacity of Islander get expanded to at least 15 peoples.
Oh, gosh....
The Sims 4 another Expansion Pack... Again!
As I love to see more contents for The Sims 4, but I still hate with the pricey monetization of every nook and cranny from this game, yet the actual gameplay from each DLC didn't look as good as from the trailer.
Talking about the Exapansion Pack from The Sims 4, I like the idea from Business & Hobbies which you can make your own Shophouse (I called it Ruko in Indonesian language) and assign the specific activities that you wish matched with the kind of your mini shop building. But unfortunately it doesn't compatible with Rent house if you already made the venue became Rent House. I wish I can make multiple of Rent house with shopping buildings at the same time, just like Ruko complex in my country.
I still try to test what kind of the small business possibilities from the available activities assignments.
From my experience, I can make small gym venue next to my house in the same lot.
I can make tutor house with reading books and using computer activities.
I can make retail shopping building with selling random stuffs like Get To Work expansion pack.
I still didn't feel satisfied with making eatery place by using Business & Hobbies as the Street Food Stall will not auto generate the NPC as the vendor when I open the business hour, I must hire them by clicking the object and choose Hire Vendor for $100.
I wish there will be more Arcade machines stuffs, even better if there is DDR machine like on The Sims 4.
Okay...
So far the Retail Business I can do well from The Sims 4 by selling the furniture stuffs since the other stuffs from The Sims 4 I still have difficulty to categorize them in specific theme of shopping center.
The mini Cafe by Small Business rule didn't look that good as I expected even I have assigned the chosen Sims to have their assignment tasks.
The idea of managing tycoon side activities was sounds great but the gameplay itself still felt half baked in my opinion.
