While Animal Crossing definitely shares many similarities with The Sims, New Horizons can feel more constrained. But The Sims focuses more heavily on relationships with other human characters, and more realistic life goals than Animal Crossing does, which for some players may take away from the cute factor.

Players have a nearly endless amount of options when it comes to building structures and customizing their characters. The Sims has a huge collection of DLC and is one of the most classic life-simulators out there, along with a community for mods. New Horizons can be a fairly grind-heavy game, which can detract from the creative side of it, but luckily for fans that just want to decorate and design homes, the Happy Home Paradise DLC offers plenty of artistic freedom. With the base game of New Horizons, players can add things to their home but have very little control over the layout and structure, but with the new update, players will be able to add walls, counters, pillars, and more to really make the archipelago their own.

Animal Crossing: New Horizonsis getting its first paid DLC called Happy Home Paradise and it will give players much more creative freedom, making the gameplay very similar to The Sims series.
