Well, video games are there to escape from everyday life. For a change, with the help of the games, we can forget about watering flowers, shopping at the supermarket or other people. But what if we just slip into a different everyday life and virtually water flowers, go to the supermarket and make friends? This is where life simulation games come into play!
Obviously, the Sims series sits on the throne – but there are a number of exciting games around it that add their very own touch to virtual everyday life. From cyberpunk to post-apocalypse to sunny island, this is our round-up of some of the best life simulations for the PC that are great sims alternatives.

In No Place Like Home, you can run your own farm in the middle of the post-apocalypse. As you might have guessed, it’s more than just breeding animals, tending fields and decorating your house. In the meantime, No Place Like Home turns into a little role-playing game as you fight scrap and rubbish, craft with it and explore the open world.
The game has already gathered a sizeable following on Steam in Early Access, who have given the game an overall rating of “Very Positive”. Its final release, however, is scheduled for the end of 2021. Can it be one of the best Sims alternatives?
