Genre Tags: Visual Novel Platform: Windows PC, Mac PC, Linux (via Steam or itch.io) Supported Kintypes: Dragon Age Rating: 14+ Content Warnings: spiders, drug-adjacent substances Other Info: n/a

Name: The Sims 4 (various dlc)

Description: A simulation game where you can create and control various characters, build them a house, have them interact with each other, and get them into shenanigans.

Genre Tags: Simulation

Platform: Windows, MacOS, XBox One, Playstation 4

Supported Kintypes: Ghost (base game), Alien (Get To Work), Vampire (Vampires), Cat(Cats & Dogs), Dog(Cats & Dogs), Fox(Cats & Dogs), Raccoon(Cats & Dogs), Mermaid (Island Living), Robot (Discover University), Werewolf (Werewolves), Horse(Horse Ranch). (A few other animals are available, but not playable).

More info on each kintype below!

Age Rating: 14+

Content Warnings: implied sex, cartoon violence, death

Other Info: While sadly many of the kintypes are behind a paywall, the base game is free, so if your kintype is in a mod then you're in luck!

Ghosts are available in the base game, and expanded upon in the Life & Death expansion.

Werewolves are capable of running on all fours, and while they are largely based on lupines/canines, I've seen some people make werewolf forms based on foxes and cats!

Servos, the robots, must be built by another sim rather than created from scratch at the start of a game. They are still customizeable, but it takes a bit more in-game work.

Unlike previous entries in the series; Cats, Dogs, Raccoons, Foxes, and Horses cannot be directly controlled without the use of mods (cheats might accomplish this too, but I've heard varying results). Additionally, Raccoons and Foxes are basically reskins of Cats and Dogs respectively, with custom "voices". It's possible to paint a dog to look like a Wolf, as well.

Hello everyone, just a quick update and a few notes!

I'm going to be updating the submission format with some minor clarifications and such. I also have some of my own submissions in the queue (mostly just to get things going), but I'm going to try and prioritize getting user submissions posted first.

Additionally, please try to use the submission box to send in your formatted game suggestions, not the ask box. This makes things a bit easier with formatting and such. If you send in a game without using the form or saying much about it, it will take longer to get into queue because I'll need to research it myself to add the proper information and content warnings. I don't say this to discourage anyone, I just want to point it out since that does take me a lot of time and I'm just one person 😅

Finally, regarding kintype tags: Unfortunately, listing every individual species would make the navigation list massive, so I've had to make them a bit more generic. This means that I can't list every individual dog breed, or every type of big cat, every type of songbird, etc. However, this only applies to tags! Individual posts typically list species/breeds more specifically (unless it would create a wall of text), so the search function should still have you covered if you want, say, a Golden Retriever instead of just any domesticated dog. I hope this is reasonable, and I still plan on breaking down generic tags if circumstances call for it.

Thank you all so much!
