there are some similiar games set in a medieval or renaissance time
since years there is the
Guild series <<<, which is a single player
& quite new is
Life Is Feudal: Your Own <<<, which is a multiplayer, with two additional side games, an MMO & city building & management game
there are few historic management & strategy games, which don't really care for the creatures in them & there are of course some RPGs set in sort of a fantasy time
but if you're looking for a game with open world, personality of characters living their daily lives, free building options in a 3D set up & all that fully customizable & true to history - there is no game like that, no matter which time you want, The Sims franchise is the closest you get & Minecraft
