Lo-fi Sims competitor Tiny Life adds a retro furniture kit and solves a famine in its latest update

Early entry life sim Tiny Life — notable for being a really trustworthy indie Sims-like you may seize on Steam or Itch for underneath £13/$15 — acquired a brand new replace yesterday, bringing with it a handful of tweaks, bug fixes, and a shock new idea: free themed units!

The Retro Rarities Set — co-created by Tiny Life neighborhood member clovedove — consists of 12 new furnishings objects and 6 new hairstyles impressed by late twentieth century aesthetics. Is Smegcore a factor but? As a result of that is the perfect phrase I’ve to explain this kitchen. Anyway, solo dev Ellpeck has additionally complemented the set with two new very ’80s wallpapers and a brand new flooring design.

If, like so many life sim followers, you’ve got been impressed by the latest Barbie film to create some plastic-fantastic builds, the vivid mixture of shiny and pastel colors on this new furnishings set has arrived at simply the suitable time. And, whereas I genuinely hate to pit two video games towards one another, I can not assist however be aware that that is the form of themed micro-DLC pack that EA would possible cost you a fiver for.

Tiny Life’s replace numbers are at the moment as adorably miniscule as its title. The Retro Rarities Set is the star of Replace 0.36.0, however the newest patch additionally provides fairly ambient fireflies to forested areas at night time, whereas on the identical time eradicating another bugs that have been fully extra harrowing — just like the one the place a customer to your Tinies’ residence would get fired from their job for the crime of hanging out, or the one the place Tinies from different worlds would simply starve to dying out of nowhere.

Lengthy-time Simmers will already know that life sim patch notes are usually a gold mine of delightfully nonsensical statements, so I am going to go away you with my favorite from Tiny Life 0.36.0: “Mounted depth positions of scaled particles on dad and mom.” I am unsure what it means, however there is a poetry to it that is form of lovely, do not you assume?
