It would've been interesting, given that Rod Humble wanted to create a fully fleshed out base game...The DLC for Life By You likely would've been merely outfits, additional hairs made post launch, and possibly furniture/architecture style sets that could be priced at a reasonable rate. Meaning more players would've bought it and those funds would be reinvested in the game for more work to be done! The mod support would've been nice for those that want it; I often don't care for mods (Prepare Carefully, for Rimworld is one of the few that I adore). This situation is truly vexing because the Life Sim scene needs a well funded direct competitor to The Sims that isn't afraid to make a coherent and interesting Simulation game; one that is built with an engine that actual works and in-depth gameplay! The loss of Life By You will irk me for years to come.
