@SimSpock The Paradox thing is interesting. Those are the other forums I frequent and I have seen some coverage on the former Sims devs moving to Paradox. Some, more so in the Sims community fron my experience, seems to think the Tectonic studio is working on that. If that thought wasn't on those forums before, though, I added it in one such discussion about that studio. (There isn't really talk of a mystery Sims game there, though, at least not from what I see.)
I'm personally more skeptical. Playing as many PDX games as I do, and just thinking about CK3 as the latest released, they have a number of RPG elements and character modeling that fits some elements of the Sims well. I've even referred to CK3 as Sims Medieval's edgy older brother. A life sim is not impossible, but I think the skill set of some of the old devs would benefit their work on more traditional PDX titles rather than just confine them to another life sim.
