I want to be able to be a colonizing warlord who also lives with 20 cats, Is perpetually horny. and keeps lighting his house on fire.
Crusader Kings?
Checks everything.
Your likely best bet is whatever you’d call the genre RimWorld is in. RimWorld itself could probably scratch that itch if you up the number of colonies you can have in the settings and add a few mods that expand the world map-level gameplay.
Just a few thousand more mods and it will be perfect. lol
Dwarf Fortress is the closest thing I’ve played to this
Also, a tremendous game. A work of art!
If you can stand it, yes
20 cats, not 200 cats.
At some point in the past decade they introduced the option to geld animals, now you can stop the cat explosion before it starts!
Rimworld
Yes this is literally just rimworld
One of those is turn based, the other is a real time simulation. How were you envisioning time would pass?
Massive Chalice comes to mind, but it’s more like tactics + sim.
I didn’t think that far! I thought maybe one of you would find the solution for me :D
The honesty is refreshing.
Stellaris is a pretty decent hybrid of a real-time-turn-based game.
Time flows on, but the major math all happens at the end of the month. You can spacebar pause whenever you need, but you don’t have to keep smashing that turn button
Interesting, i’ve heard of it, but I’ve never played it. I’ll have to check it out.
Crusader Kings 3
In SimCity 4 you were able to import your Sims from The Sims (1). But that was about it. It didn’t influence the game very much.
And you could use your city as a neighborhood in The Sims 2.

It doesn’t quite have everything you were asking for but you might like Space Haven. No cats, but you’re trying to keep your small group of spacefarers alive and your spaceship afloat. A lot of the game is resource management, managing faction relations, and doing small scale tactics as you fight against aliens, robots, and raiders. It has some of the small scale control over your spacefarers similar to Sims, but allows you the freedom to be a group of roaming mercenaries, set up your own little outpost on an asteroid to offer services, or raid everyone in sight.
It’s still in early access, but it has fairly active development with several updates having been pushed out this month alone.
I haven’t dug my teeth into it as much as I should have yet, so I can’t tell you which parts of your requirements are and aren’t fulfilled. But have you had a look at Kenshi? There’s also a sequel on the horizon.
Go. Outside.
The progression system sucks
Is that “Go Outside” with mixed steam ratings or “Go Outside Simulator”?
I’m outside right now thank you very much.
