This game is great, but it has some major flaws and definitely needs some improvements.

The idea that you can make everything in your village, from the buildings, to the furniture, to the things you and your neighbors wear is a very ingenious idea. Now don't get me wrong when i say this game has some major flaws, because i have always been a fan of the Sims games. It really just left out what i enjoyed most of the Sims: The actual simulation of real life. You don't have to eat, you don't have to sleep, you can't die, there's no "events", you can't get a job, etcetera, etcetera. All you do is build furniture, and you can be friends, with someone, then best friends. that's it. The interaction is very limited, as well. all you can do is copy what they are doing, talk, be nice, or be mean. There is no choice actions that led you to being better friends as in the previous installments.

So what you do, is you basically get essences. These essences help you build things, by either placing it on the object, or painting with it. For example, if you had an apple essence, you could paint one block with an apple pattern, or set an apple itself on the object. Now you can get these essences one of three ways:

Being nice/mean to people
Shaking it from a tree
Prospecting, using a metal detector type thing to find them and dig them up.

So once you do enough tasks for your neighbors, you get your star rating to go up. By doing that, you can move more people in, and unlock new places, like the desert, and the forest. Each person has a set star level for them to appear in the inn, which is where you have to ask them to move in, and build them a house.

So it all goes in a cycle:

Find essences
Build furniture
get star rating up
move people in
repeat

After a while, it starts to get monotonous, which is why i give this game a 7/10
