Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Sep 7 → 0.14/day in the week after.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.14/day in the week to Jul 30 → 0.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

With a unique character preferences system and an inflation-driven economy, the game simulates the financial experience of different people in the modern world.
Colony Sim-Style Management - Set priorities for your characters and watch them fulfill their desires. You make the important decisions like where to work, live and study.
Character Preferences - Be an ambitious investment banker with a paperwork allergy, or a struggling single parent with a shopping addiction. The unique preferences system offers a variety of "what-ifs" to play out.

Multi-Generational - Your characters will age from birth to death and accumulate status conditions as they go through life.
Skills and Education - Multiple organic routes to qualify for a job, whether through experience, education or a combination of both.
Cycles within cycles - Industries will go through their own booms and busts so consider your options carefully. Manufacturing jobs might pay higher wages while electricity prices are decreasing at the same time.

Real City Pathfinding - Maps are based on real cities. Travel time depends on actual road and rail networks, as well as obstacles like rivers and mountains.

it's The Sims with adjustable-rate mortgages-- loved it. agreed that the endgame needs more content (the political influence system falls flat), but the game still kept me fixated for a few generations!
Pretty complicated compared to the first game but once you understand the mechanics this game is pretty fun.

god i love micro-management
Really fun and surprisingly complex and rewarding life simulator that focuses on your career and financials.
给经济做了一些简化,但是仍然有一定的复杂度,挺好玩的 不过UI确实一开始比较难习惯,有很多说明和信息是藏在小图标和按钮里的,还有一些宏观经济指标很难直接找到,需要一定时间上手 [hr][/hr] PS: 我是没想到爱工作搭上爱思考这么坏事(笑)读本科和博士的时间不算上班,导致工作和思考条不能同时满足,精神状态极差,读完博当了几年助教和博士后爬上教授才治愈精神创伤,这有点过于现实了吧……要不说PhD是permanent head damage呢……
The best "degradation" simulator out there. Love it. Quite repetetive, I think they should make it more "micro" with 1 character in mind, I played only with 1 character, have no interest in managing a family, or even a few random characters.
模拟人生系列,好玩
My 4 year old child had a mental break because they were wistful about not having a glamorous enough house. 10/10
Увлекательно, интересно исследовать, но мои нишовые ожидания не полностью покрыла. Разработать узконаправленную игру трудно, так что возьмите мои деньги и мой респект)
