5 Upcoming Steam Deck Games Similar to The Sims 4

Valve's Steam Deck is one of the hottest handheld gaming PCs that has ever been released. Due to its immense success, the company managed to improve its device after a year of launching the first model.

Steam Deck is Valve's way of bringing your Steam Library in a handheld console. However, not all games are currently made to be played using the console. Regardless, the company is actively reviewing the entire Steam catalog to categorize each game properly.

On the other hand, The Sims 4 has continuously been popular despite being almost 10 years old. While we are still away from The Sims 5, here are some similar games that you play on your Steam Deck:

AlterLife

Created by VGG Studio, AlterLife offers a serene and peaceful virtual living for your avatars. You will be required to create your avatar from scratch, give it a unique personality, and design how it will live its life in the simulation.

It claims to be the "most comprehensive character editor in the market" by allowing users to recreate themselves and their friends to populate a virtual environment. The life of your avatar will also be based on the different choices that you will make.

Paralives

From the creations of Alex Massé, Paralives gives you the satisfaction of building your dream house using comprehensive construction tools in the game. Moreover, it also has an advanced character creator that can resize facial and body features.

As early as now, the creator has announced that it will be supporting user-created mods, houses, characters, and more. Players would have to download Steam Workshop once the game is available to enjoy more of the game.

Life by You

Coming this March, Life by You is created under Paradox Tectonic and Paradox Interactive. The game claims to be one of the "most moddable and open life-simulation games." Players will be allowed to design homes and businesses from scratch.

Moreover, you have the freedom to drag, demolish, and rearrange entire towns. Quests will be popping out which will give your avatar fresh experiences.

Denizen

Set to debut in the first quarter of the year, Denizen is created by Departure Interactive which allows the player to experience city life through your avatar. In the game, you are required to apply for a job at the local business and make a steady income.

You can also make money by getting a side hustle or helping out the locals for extra cash. Settling in is also simple as you get to choose from different types of residences and customize the furniture and finishings.

Vivaland

Created by Vivaland and to be published under HypeTrain Digital, Vivaland is an online co-op life simulation game that allows you to team up with up to 8 players. The game is also playable in solo mode, giving it the best of both worlds.

The build mode features of the game allow resizing of objects which is something new for many. The colors of the objects are also not limited and can be customized using the color wheel tool.
