The "Build a prestigious burg" goal ask for high density houses and no castle (and no monastery), but high density houses need heavy fortification. How do I get heavy fortification if I can't build a castle?
I don't see this kind of drama possible in a Life Sim unless it's totally fabricated by the player and that's kinda sad. Life Sims should have the option of playing as only one character so your family can have full autonomy until your character dies and then you pick someone of your family to continue living. Meanwhile each family member should live the way their personality dictates.
and of course, we need actual drama, like fake marriages and getting blind.
I've seen A LOT of people saying Paralives is more like a management sim rather than a life sim. Why? For me it looks a lot like The Sims + a little bit of Stardew Valley. I would like to understand why people think like that. I'm not saying they are wrong, I just don't understand. Thanks in advance.
