Life sims let you live through a whole life — or a slice of one — as a sequence of years, decisions and chance events. The genre suits AI-assisted development unusually well: much of the work is rules, tables and text, which coding assistants generate quickly, while the developer's effort goes into tone and balance. Look for how each game sources its odds: some use real-world statistics, others invent their own.
Key facts side by side. Open a game for sources and provenance labels.
