Always late to the party I am always interested in potential new life simulation games.
Creating such a game is a massive complex operation. Considerable knowledge and experience is needed and to be quite frank it must offer a new twist. We simply don't need a rehash of what has gone before. Not if the developers want us to be fully entertained and engaged. I strongly doubt that kickstarter funding will come anywhere near being enough to make this a viable proposition. If the project had the backing of a big established producer then maybe but as I said it must have something new and original to offer.
Don't get me wrong I would love to see EA with viable competition but somehow don't think this is it. So no investment from me. Agreed TS4 is not the gang some of us wanted but we do still have TS3 and I am not bored with that yet.
