The best life simulators of all time

The editors of VGTimes have compiled a list of the best life simulators of all time. Life simulator (from English Life simulation games) is a genre of games in which you need to manage the life of a person, animal or fantastic creature. Essentially, this is a subtype of strategy games. The most famous games of the genre are Spore and The Sims.

Simulations can touch on various aspects of real life. If Spore is focused on biology, The Sims is on the social component. However, there is a broader understanding of the term. So, there are games that touch on a specific topic. These are, for example, life simulators of a YouTuber, a cleaner, a builder, a cat, or even a tree. There may also be games that touch on the theme of life in Russia or completely exotic ones like the homeless simulator Hobo: Tough Life.

As for animal life simulators, there may be options. Tamagotchi games where you need to raise a pet are quite popular.
