What players like
- Highly detailed simulation with massive depth of content and branching choices
- Multiple career paths, romance, business, investing, and crime systems
- Save slots and Time Machine checkpoints enable story branching and experimentation

- Bugs including persistent promotion popups and events from deceased previous lives
- UI layout unintuitive for first-time players with overwhelming feature density
